If you ever wanted a life-sized Ben Grimm around your house — and hey, who hasn’t! — you can now accomplish that dream thanks to AMC. The theater chain has added a wave of cardboard standees featuring the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, specifically The Thing, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, H.E.R.B.I.E. and the Fantasticar.

Now, it’s worth noting that while the standees bill themselves as “life-size”, you’re out of luck if you’re looking for a 1:1 scale Fantasticar. The rest of the Fantastic Four seem pretty legit, though! The Thing standee clocks in at 73″ x 52″, or 6.1′ tall and 4.3′ wide. Comparatively, Mr. Fantastic is 71″ by 29″, or 5.9′ tall and 2.4′ wide.

The standees are available to order now, and will set you back $49.95 each. There’s currently just the core cast, with no sign of a Julia Garner Silver Surfer or, obviously, a “life-size” Ralph Ineson Galactus. You can, however, pick up AMC’s massive Galactus popcorn bucket tie-in.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, starring Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon-Moss Bachrach, is the first MCU outing for Marvel’s First Family, and their first big-screen appearance since 2017’s disastrous Fantastic Four. Expectations are for the film to tie closely to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, though Marvel has kept details about the FF’s future MCU appearances close to the vest.

Did you get a standee? I’d honestly love to see what they look like in real life. Maybe I’ll order a HERBIE…
