Nova (Richard Rider) debuted in 1976 and Frankie didn't become a herald until 6 years later in '82. At the time Rich wasn't Nova and his series had already ended so I get that Marvel had an unused name available that they probably wanted to keep in use but it can make conversations confusing and/or annoying when the name Nova is used without context.

I've always been confused by that. Like my introduction to her was actually through the Silver Surfer cartoon and when they called her Nova, I was like, "Wait, I thought Nova was a guy in the New Warriors?"

Anyway, that's disappointing to see that 16,000 is going to be needed to unlock her. I really feel like Hasbro corporate was so impressed with the Sentinel breaking records last year that they purposely more than doubled the requirements for Galactus and now it is biting them in the ass. I could understand requiring 10,000 units before the tiers, but 14,000 is a mighty stretch. Hopefully the slowness of this to get up to what it needs to happen will help them reconsider their greed next time.

I haven't actually backed Galactus yet just because I'm trying to clear my credit card off before I do. I mean sure, it doesn't really matter since I'm going to do it regardless, I'd just like to have a low balance on my card ahead of time.
