Customer Review Summary
The LEGO Marvel Fantastic Four vs. Galactus set is receiving a generally positive, though nuanced, reception. Customers are overwhelmingly excited to finally have an official Fantastic Four LEGO set after a 12-year wait, and the inclusion of all four core members as minifigures is a major draw. The centerpiece of the set, Galactus, is widely praised as an impressive and intricate build, considered by many to be one of LEGO’s best construction figures to date, particularly for its accurate representation and imposing size. The excitement surrounding the upcoming movie is also fueling positive sentiment, with many eager to display the set as a tie-in to the franchise. Several reviewers specifically mention the set feels like a good value considering it delivers the entire team and a large build for around $60.
However, the most consistent criticism revolves around the minifigure representation of The Thing. A significant number of reviewers express disappointment that Ben Grimm isn’t a bigfig, arguing that a regular minifigure doesn’t adequately convey his size and bulk. Suggestions range from a bigfig to a mid-sized figure or a uniquely sculpted torso to better represent his physique. Other minor complaints include a desire for more detailed minifigure printing (leg printing specifically), the reuse of existing minifigure heads (particularly for Johnny Storm), and a wish for additional characters like Silver Surfer or HERBIE to be included. While most acknowledge the set is good overall, these points prevent it from being considered perfect.

• Galactus Build: Highly praised for its intricate design, imposing size, and overall quality. Considered a standout LEGO construction figure.
• Fantastic Four Inclusion: Excitement over finally having all four members represented as official LEGO minifigures.
