a while back when the fantastic four was a series in the 90's, a toy of galctus came out for said show. I have a galactus that I can fit on a sinestro or sentinal base. if i do this, what kind of powers will he possess and what should the point cost be??? should I take galactus out of the original package???

HELLO???
I'd do something inquest did .... they would give a character two attack powers by shading half the attack square one color, and the other half another color.
I think Galactus should have ...
Super Strength, Telekinesis
Invulerability, Energy Shield/Deflection
Outwit
As for clicks .... I'd use all but one of the sentinel's available clicks .... even at his "hungry, weakened state" he should incredibly tough ....

Bullseye,
People may be slow to post because you aren't in the forum that all of the modders use. In the future, you might want to look at the Artisans Guild...that's where all of the figure mods, custom dials, and things like that get posted and discussed.
Hope this helps,

sorry if it seemed like i was yelling!!!
Hate to say it... but I wouldn't give him ANY powers. Under most circumstances, Galactus is just too insanely powerful. I built one, using a 12-inch GI Joe as the basic frame... and we've used him as an OBSTACLE in a few games... but never as a PARTICIPANT.
well if the combined efforts of mr. fantastic. invisible woman, thing, human torch and silver surfer. can stop galactus shouldn't he come to the total of their combined points. 400 for the vets and what 225 250 for surfer(game purpose people not comics) so go with that if it helps

JonL, the main man, came up with a Galactus that was something like 800 points for his rookie. Trust me, or better yet, trust the guy that is making up the figures: Galactus doesn't have a place on a clix board as anything other than an obstacle.
He eats planets. The FF had to scare him off with the ulitmate nullifier. That's not a clix game, that's comic book epics.
I'm all for big figs. Monsters, Dinos, Mole Man's critter, even big robots. All of that is smashable like sentinals and therefore good to go. But Galactus is just a bad idea.
In my opinion, that is. I see people with Galactus set up against their Heroclix all the time. You want to mod one? Knock yourself out. But it's going to have to be scaled WAY down if you want anything less than an 800 point team to run against it.

Galactus would have a minimum of a 12 point Steal Energy attack.
He completely drained Ultron in one shot - without breaking a sweat.
It was very much like swatting a Gnat

Galactus!!!
I see him being around 500 pts or less (the exact amount less to go with each of his heralds R version).
He should have 5 dmg with Psychic blast!
Invulnerability.
Three arrows.
Damage ruduced BY one instead of TO one for multiple attacks.
Willpower.
If the game goes longer than 20 turns Galactus wins by eating the planet.
For 500 pts each of his actions should be able to CRIPPLE several figures.

Yeah, Big G sucked all Ultron's power out right through his mouth. Ultron possessed more power than an H Bomb I believe, and Galatus basically blinked him out of the picture.

Keep in mind that to "KO" galactus you mearly convince him to find an easier meal elsewhere. A temporary reprieve from the ravages of the world eater, NOT a total victory and the defeat of Galactus (only the Beyonder and Thanos ever did that).
