[@TAKTAK_Toys]

I actually like to see reviews like this Anthony, because I don’t have one, so I’m basically living through you watching you reviewing and displaying it, definitely do more reviews for items anyone can pick up AND more exclusive items, both are interesting to watch. 👍

[@gmoney1664]

Same. Never wanted this but it's always interesting to watch the reviews

[@viniidalgo9065]

I was going to comment the same thing. I live in Brazil, and the figure is going for U$ 1089 here, so there's no way I'm getting it. It's cool to get a look at it as well as insight from someone as knowledgeable as Anthony.

[@jump9506]

Great open & honest review as always. Hasbro should have considered a mobility scooter as a stretch goal to address those loose hip and knee joint issues 🤔

[@ThisIsAUsername414]

At first, I felt like this was pretty impressive just because of how hasbro was trying new stuff. Sure more paint, more accessories, better articulation, all can make a better product. But then I began comparing the price of this thing to other similar-sized figures like the ones Hot Toys makes. Then I realized for the price they were asking for, this should've been much better.

[@solomfr6371]

Did you see the rancor that failed? It looked like a black series rancor and they wanted 350 for it. Multiple haslabs now have design and quality control problems. Not worth the gamble for the price they are asking.

[@WiGgYof09]

I honestly thought this would be better. I was expecting ratcheted joints. I was fine with the paint, or lack of it. It is meant to be a giant marvel legends sonI didn't expect shading. However, loose joints in th knees and hips is just awful. It could have been a lot better, but at the same time it is just a marvel legends. It serves its purpose, just not well.

[@jellowpy9243]

Hot toys comparison is not a good comparison , one that compares to this size is the Hot Toys Hulkbuster. And that one cost around $1.3K-1.5 with taxes .and this one is only $350 so with that said at this price point this is a good product despite its flaws. Only really major complaint with this project is they should have put a stronger ratchet in every joints.

[@WiGgYof09]

@@jellowpy9243 there are other issues that have nothing to do with cost. The neck joint for example. They could have made the whole thing clear so at least the eyes stayed lit up when you moved the head. They chose not to. The range on the regular head is poor. The range on the feet is awful. A big guy like this should be able to move its foot forward more so it can bend down. Again, it serves its purpose. It's a big center piece of a collection meant to build a display around. For me, it is the only sentinel I own. I'm not sorry I bought it. I am, however, dissappointed with some of the execution. I believe a lot of these issues stem from covid related restrictions as this was produced when restrictions were pretty high. Honestly, I'm not sure why they are all still working from home. I hope these flaws do not continue into the Galactus figure and that they learned from the sentinel.

[@langletprolet8378]

What are similar-sized Hot Toys figures that has the same price like this one but way better? Genuinely curious so I can check them out.

[@fortressmattimus3984]

As a kid, a sentinel like this is what I always wanted. I never had the capacity to get the toybiz sentinel and I always hoped they would make something larger like this. I would've loved to be able to play with a toy like this when I was a kid. So while I don't play with my toys like I used to, it's still a dream project and it turned out pretty well. My son is still young but I hope that he will play with figures like I did, and that he will have figures like this to play with if he wants. The adult in me has nowhere to store it or show it off, but the child in me is very happy.

[@Robotfan987]

How did they not just do ratcheted joints for the legs? They already figured out giant robot articulation on the Transformers team, you'd think they'd walk across the aisle and take notes.

[@omegashenron8]

You mean Takara Tomy figured out giant robot articulation. Takara designs most of the Transformers mainly, Hasbro's TF team isn't really involved much engineering wise. Where as The Marvel Legends team is. Which is why the sentinel has its problems and the giant robots don't.

[@SonnyS994]

I’ve been wait so long for you to review this guy! Your one of the last honest reviewers left!

[@SonnyS994]

Tbh I loved the idea of it, I would have paid more than £350 for it in all fairness. What really pi**ed me off was the those knees and the ratchet joints not working! After that I was more like I don’t think it’s worth it at all. Another thing that’s wound me up was all the KZbin reviewers that hasbro has in there pocket acting like the knees were not an issue. With the money it cost it should have been perfect !

[@megageek1]

I'd say the scale is pretty accurate. If you look at the size difference between the sentinel and Rouge when she flips it during the opening sequence of the 90s animated series, its pretty good by that comparison at least.

[@andrewtaylor940]

The scale of Sentinels was all over the place in the comics.

[@dogmd7]

There's all sorts of shapes and sizes of Sentinels, I also think this is a good scale representation of a Sentinel.

[@JayWoods483]

Thank you so much for this review. It has been the most thorough and detailed video out of all I have seen. I missed out on the campaign (didn't miss the Big G tho) and got caught in the euphoria of the awesome size and unique characteristics of the Sentinel when it was released. I was contemplating stashing some spare $$ away in 2022 to get a Sentinel off the bay to replace the much beloved (yet a tad too small) blue & gray Marvel Universe one. You just saved me about $1K and from my wallet and myself - thank you. The laziness to which Hasbro has been proving excellent at over the last 18 months or so, makes me wonder whether the Mothership experienced some staff turnover. Someone more interested in the bottom line then quality. And that scares the hell out of me and my expectations for Galactus.

[@shorteststraw03]

Personally I really enjoy my sentinel. But every flaw pointed out is valid. The knees should of had way better ratchets. There's a video of a guy who was able to take his apart and hasbro did a poor job on the ratchet system. Hoping Galactus is better. But I'm happy with mine.

[@yaboysgottoys5156]

I LOL’d when you casually said “…like one of these turds” 😂😂😂

[@dustybragg4011]

They should’ve included a blast affect for one of the hands.

[@KevinHtoon]

Marvel Legends team always down play on the things that they think is going to be easy sale. Lately with digital sculpting and everything, the figure details have improved significantly. But has anyone notice that obscure characters and villains gets more attention to detail than heroes.

[@dcarrillo05]

As you have said before, good idea but poor execution IMHO, a lot that could have been improved to justify the price tag

[@Solid_Snake98]

Honestly, I prefer the Wolverine and Sentinel 2 pack from 2018. The Sentinel figure just reminds me more of the animated series.

[@tomhensha929]

I like the one I bought, the knee issue was an easy fix thanks to another reviewer's video. I wish I could have bought a couple more, just to use all the head sculpts at once, and to army build for the shelf, but I don't want to pay eBay prices. I'll just settle for the one I got, and keep the Master Mold head on it, since that is my favorite of the options. As for having a huge figure, I did order the Galactus that is due out next year. Sure, they are big and awkward, but Sentinels and Galactus shouldn't be just six inch to eight inches. They should tower over the six inch characters.

[@cavecollectibles2199]

Thanks. I picked one up on the second market. Missed the crowd funding but was able to get a good deal at least for the second market. I don’t use my figures for toy photography so as long as he looks good hulking over my X-men shelf I’ll be happy… and yes I have a shelf that fits him 😂.

[@FireBomberBassist]

Excellent honest review as always. I passed on this, kind of regretted it for a while. I know id enjoy having it regardless of the bad points but the price was a tad higher than i was willing to put down back then.

[@Cam-bc2jr]

While I personally love my Sentinel, your points are extremely valid especially with the lack of paint. That and the QC with the knees definitely hold it down some.

[@arthurchen6464]

Imo you got the assessment down pat. It doesn't really have the quality you'd expect of such a supposedly premium piece, but nearly everyone who bought it will like it anyway. Even if some of them are like you and see the objective flaws and shortcomings/missed opportunities in it, it's such a "statement piece" as you put it that most will be glad to have it regardless.

[@zenquantum1246]

The lack of detailing on this guy probably saved me from purchasing this one. If I’d been a fan of the 90’s animated X-Men show, this clean look might have done it for me, but the ToyBiz BAF is still a work of art that looks like it’s been on patrol and out in all sorts of conditions. It has life to it even when in a neutral pose. Love your reviews for how analytical you are about every figure. People commit a lot of time and money to these. I follow some KZbinrs for their excitement on figures, but your critical voice is welcome and needed in the collecting community

[@dtejada1988]

Zup Anthony, please keep on doing reviews like this, even tho I’m not interested in buying it, I still like the reviews, I feel I learn a lot about it, and can opine on this figure even if I don’t own it 😎👍🏼

[@chodaikaijufan1187]

knowing you anthony im sure even if you are sponsored if the product is crap you would say its crap ...... as always awesome review and yeah so toy companies really should take you as their action figure consultant

[@docavenger1560]

I thought the same thing about a battle damage chest plate, I would have loved a BDCP over the tri-sentinel head

[@ingloriousmax]

Fantastic review as usual

[@KerioFive]

I was hoping it wasn't a front review! Nice

[@GregXB3]

I have one. I like it, I'm glad to have it... my X-Men display needed a Sentinel and I didn't have the previous versions which were going for about as much as this on the aftermarket and this was closer to the scale I wanted. I envy those who were able to army build this thing... but your criticisms are on point. I am looking forward to Galactus.

[@dylansandoval9841]

Was bummed to miss this but after seeing this and for the price they wanted it is a bit disappointing. They definitely could have put more effort into the articulation and paint. I did grab the Galactus on the last day. Mainly for silver surfer and he's a much more universal entity so it'd fit my collection more. Here's to hoping it was money better spent

[@mbmstudios9768]

Dude I know. As big and as expensive as it is, the articulation should’ve been off the charts.

[@paulycolumbus9131]

Great review 👍

[@chewymew]

18:14 - 18:19 That is one of the wisest thing I've heard about these types of HasLabs. So many people cite this figure as being one of the best Marvel Legends ever made solely because of its size. I've heard people say that Galctus is even better because it's bigger... is that all the people care about? Apparently so.

[@j-era224]

If u hold the button he goes into blinking mode then he goes thru the colors & when it gets to the color u want just press the button again & it stay on that color for like 5-10min b4 it goes off

[@kltoybox]

It’s interesting how they did this big guy. Makes me anxious for Galactus as I have been really wanting a big big Galactus.

[@zanose219]

personally i like it. i mainly use it as mastermold. i wanted to use him for my Marvel Vs Capcom collection, but he is kinda too big. i'll rotate him in and out of the marvel vs capcom display. Very glad to have backed the project. I agree it couldve had more paint, better joints ( not just the knees ), and maybe 1 more light color. Again i enjoy it.

[@hannahsaphire7643]

Thank you for the awesome review Anthony! You rock

[@AnthonysCustoms]

No u

[@darthrizzen9349]

Answer of the day: as a 1/6 scale Hot Toys collector, I like *big* figures. But when I'm asked to pay Hot Toys prices I expect matching quality, not a oversized Hasbro Black Series/Marvel Legends action figure. And that's what we're getting here. This review is another reason why I've been following this channel for quite some time. Argumented, thorough, and fair. Thanks!

[@thinkstump]

great review

[@meneliktafari894]

I would to have such a figure….great review Ant, good job!!

[@Zudon99]

Thanks for a very detailed review. Yeah a very big bummer for some points mentioned especially the weak knees and hips. Hasbro is getting away again with going cheap

[@angrym0nkeysh0w]

As always, this is an amazing review, Anthony! I actually got two of these. I was super excited when I first got them. Jump forward to one year later when they actually arrived and I was super depressed because I moved to a small apartment and I don't even have enough room to display them, so I haven't even taken them out of the box. That's right: I spent over $600 on two figures I haven't even held on my hands yet. I've thought about getting rid of them, but I guess the one things keeping me from doinh so is the fact that I may have the room to display them in the future and it's not like they will ever get any cheaper. But based on your review, I agree: these things should be a whole lot better. Thanks as usual

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

Why not sell them and buy a bigger apartment? 🤔

[@angrym0nkeysh0w]

@@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050 Exactly. Lots of options

[@impossiblepie]

It looks good, could use more paint and weathering, battle damage add ins for another stretch goal would've been good. The knees and hips are terrible. I agree the forearms should be able to rotate. There was a video that did show the knees had ratchets but they are very poorly designed. Great review Anthony!

[@SweatyReady46]

I bought 3 of them, while I'm happy with my purchases the lack of QC with the knees and hips definetly hurt as someone who likes to display his figures, with a fear of them giving in and toppling over. Even with that said if this would be re-released again with more details, and paint/fixed issues on legs I would grab another.

[@langletprolet8378]

Wow, you’re dedicated

[@drunkpandainc]

The scale is good, the sentinels range from human sized to double the size of a skyscraper. This one is a mix of different versions. It really should have come with a damaged chest that can pop on an off like that back panel. While I am not fully satisfied with it I'm happy to have the three I got with no scuff and solid joints. I'm putting washers in the knees to keep them solid. I don't get their thinking with the way the head lights up...they should have had a set up like the previous one.

[@X_Draggzz]

Yo wassup Anthony i love your vids but i have a question when are the kick-starters for your action figure line coming out i have been waiting to here news from you so i can order me some of your amazingly designed figures.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks for the support. The ks will happen when the figures are ready and the time is right. Better to wait than to rush.

[@Novapoid]

Great, rational review. It's a fun giant toy but it should have more polish in different areas considering the price.

[@drawster440]

I love mine...worth the price....knees are good!

[@YoungIceMgk]

I like what i see from this figure, def could have used a battle damaged chest plate. I got mines on october 1st but waiting for christmas to open it lol its basically my big box item for myself this year

[@heisenbergjadallah787]

If I was going to customize the paint job what would you focus on? Silver dry brush of the wires and such?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

No. Armor plate wear.

[@gerbzy83]

I'm a bit worried about the galactus's knees. I reckon they won't be ratcheted, but hoping they are. They need to take a look at tomy takara on how to do joints on titan sized transformers, my scorponok and omega supreme joints are so solid

[@aaronmauer7225]

My biggest issue is lack of ratchets. It needed it badly in the legs. I also wish the master mold face was skin tone not silver.

[@caincha]

There's a big difference between wiring and conduits. Pop up you car's hood and check how much actual wiring you'll see and how many conduits (black or otherwise dark) are there. Wouldn't make much sense a war machine to have exposed wiring would it..? It does lack paint wash though some people might like it. I rather have the choice but then again... Oh and I like to know it exists. Same with Galactus and even Unicrom. I won't buy any of those but it's nice to know they're out there, maybe someday we'll have something similar at a more affordable price..?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I didn't say it needed wiring. I said it needed paint.

[@caincha]

@@AnthonysCustoms no, you said it needed painting on the wiring. There is no wiring to be painted, it has conduits. It could be argued a paint wash would make the conduits look better - to which I agree as per original post - but doesn't make sense to have painted wiring.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

if they sculpted it, it should be painted. you're arguing whether or not there should be visible wiring...when it's already there.

[@0newingedcrow]

It looks about right scale to me. I can picture a Jim Lee Wolverine Legend on the nape of the neck and it looks like it's perfectly scaled! "This one's for you, Morph!!!"

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

Even with all it's limitations I would like to own one, as a center piece and because it's the first very big action figure and for a collector such as myself that means something. Unfortunately as a European I will have to pay around $800 (shipping and import taxes included), so it's out of question.

[@normanbeaulieu4204]

Could you heat and pop the upper chest from the lower torso? So is the swivel a ball and socket?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Not sure off hand what the joint type is but it's likely all hard plastic in a clamshell so heating wouldn't work and you would be at risk of breaking the socket or the peg.

[@normanbeaulieu4204]

@@AnthonysCustoms thank you

[@maxbanh]

If they gonna detail the battle damage look for the head and hands might as well do the rest of it that can be changeable, it looks weird with the hands and hand being attacked let’s say by Wolverine for example but not the chest.

[@bwtrader]

I’m waiting for the upgraded KO 5 POA version..

[@masculinemindset6509]

This is a master mold that suppose to just sit down and make smaller sentinels, this is not a regular sentinel that should have better articulation

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's actually not though.

[@masculinemindset6509]

@@AnthonysCustoms I thinking along the lines of the X-Men animated series. I seen master mold get up I think once in the cartoon that's why I said the articulation is not there. But you are right in everything you said as well, it should have the articulation for the price point it was sold at. I think it should be made at the 12" line so it would be easier to articulate on Hasbro's end.

[@shauntothemaxx5639]

I like the idea of a larger figure for a sentinel or Galactus. But the idea of Hasbro selling me a 300 dollar figure is what ultimately turned me off. In some figures, we can't get 20 dollars of quality in a 20 dollar figure. How can we expect 300 dollars of quality out of a 300 dollar figure.

[@Lionsden99]

When the Sentinel was first announced you made a photoshopped mock-up of your preferred proportions for him. (Taller legs, slimmer torso etc) in hand are the proportions still as big a problem for you, since you didn't bring it up?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I did bring it up in the review.... unless I edited it out. They don't look as odd as the original images indicated but I would still prefer my sentinels to have longer legs like they typically have in the source material.

[@Killua_Zoldyck1980]

I can't help to hope for a release from whatever company following the '97 cartoon

[@Necroscat]

I think that if they were going to make a Sentinel that big for that much, it should've been the Tri-Sentinel

[@VideoPortfolio2010]

They've dropped to $600 on ebay.. I think time to get one?

[@madrabiddog]

A piece this big should be standing on it's own. It should be the standout centerpiece of a ML collection...but if it can't stand there's no reason to display it imho.

[@TheDARKNESS8030]

As a kid I would've loved this thing. As a adult. I just don't think I would need this, or even know what to do with it. This is just a very expensive photography prop.

[@holonet1]

I'm pretty happy with my two. I actually prefer the brand new, straight out of the factory look as opposed to something from Neca. All the extra paint work may have been a staple for Toybiz, but Hasbro is different. Personally, I feel Toybiz & Neca over do it with all the extra. Shading is suppose to come from a light scource & angles, not permanently be etched on to the figures. I do like the sheen from the body surface finish. It gives the illusion, that it's some kind of metallic alloy. The joints do need to be ratcheted & tighter. It does just feel like a large ML's & it shouldn't. This thing required a little more engineering to make it work properly. The hip joints can't hold up the weight of the legs & the arm joints fail when trying to hold a regular ML figure in it's hand. My finger joints also aren't tight enough to properly hold a figure. The hands do seem a bit small as well, anything bigger than a Bucky Cap or a female buck doesn't fit very well. My knee joints aren't horrible, but gravity does pull them down after a few seconds. There are things I wished could've been done better or differently, but over all, I'm glad to have them. You can't have X-Men without proper Sentinels, in my opinion. As to the size, it is accurate according to the 90's Sentinels of it's time. They're supposed to only be 20' tall, although they are represented as appearing much larger at times. So, let's say a Bucky Cap buck is 6' tall, which is roughly 6.25" - 6.5" tall or so. The Sentinel's 26" height is easily 3 & half to 4 Bucky Caps. To me, you're not going to get any closer to scale than that. Certainly not with any of the previous retail releases. Although, I do have a MU Sentinel, which talks & I can use his voice for these Haslab ones.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

These aren't the sentinels from the cartoon though.

[@holonet1]

@@AnthonysCustoms k, I did hear this particular design is from the modern story lines. Considering, I haven't read a X-Men comic since the late 90's. I'm just going to use them with my 90's ML's. Pretty much sold all my modern versions. I don't know how big Sentinels are now.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I like the idea of a big ML Sentinel but I hate Haslab because they ignore foreign collectors, you either live in the USA or the UK or you will have to buy this item for at least twice it's retail value. The engineering should have been way better, almost all the articulation points need more range withvery strong ratchets and I also agree it should have more painted details. They should have skipped the light gimmicks in the head because of the dead eyes syndrome and the lack of range in the head articulation. A big figure such as this has to be able to look down and up since other characters have to jump or fly to attack it and they may do it from above, most collectors will use this action figure as a center piece in their displays and probably it will be attacked from all sides. Even though I couldn't preorder the Haslab Galactus because even though I'm a big ML collector I live in Portugal, I hope they learned their lessons for it's release and it comes out a bit better for all of you who were able to preorder it. Thanks for the review Anthony.

[@rickrolledtruth5834]

Dam... well at least it's BIG lol ... I remember growing up there was only small sentinels and that one big plastic cheesy sentinel figure

[@masculinemindset6509]

Why didn't Hasbro make sentinels out of that 12"line they had which would have made sense since this one is much bigger. They should make then out the 12" line. And do another release of this again.

[@marvint.7811]

I think this sentinel actually is accurate to the comic size, Its Galactus who is still too small despite being larger then this guy. Did u go in for him too?

[@Rettfet7265]

This is one of those things where I’d love to own it, but I’m really glad I didn’t buy. It’d be so big and inconvenient to store and display. I’ll stick to my 1/12 figures and occasional 1/6” 😅

[@j316finewoodworking6]

I thought promo images rocked but after seeing this? I think I will stick to my transformers. Omega Supreme 24 inches tall and a ton of articulation for 130.00 when I bought it. Plus it transforms lol. 🤦‍♂️

[@Malacine]

I've seen Sentinels that are of comparable scale in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, maybe slightly taller than this figure scale-wise.

[@normanbeaulieu4204]

I have to say it amazes me how people keep funding these rip off projects. People seem not to realize these “projects” are just to get you money by conning you into thinking these things are worth it. For example a 3rd party oversized Transformer combiner, the same size as this Sentinel runs around $150 or $200. That has 5 or 6 bots and they transform. You can’t say these “projects” are like this because they have to put in the designing and do one. But so does the 3rd party TF companies. Those companies have to design and re-design those bots to make them work at that particular size. So they’re getting paid for those to even if those action figures don’t sell. But the one thing Hasbro has over them is that this is 100% funded by the fans so there’s really no overhead for Hasbro. There’s no excuse for inflation when it comes to retail shops or any of that. The third-party transformers have that they have overhead and they have to sell it at retail. So again there is no reason for a signal to be around 300+ dollars. Or a Rankor to be $350. Or galactose to be $400 or more and so on. Because that’s all profit Hasbro and we’re getting garbage for that price tag. When other companies have proven that they can do better for a lot less money. And those companies don’t have the backing like Hasbro has. Those companies are a mom and pop in my basement or in my garage company. So maybe just maybe we should stop funding these stupid projects and demand more from Hasbro a multi billion dollar company. Instead of everybody buying three or five sky strikers that 90% of the new detail is hidden by panels and flaps and a canopy. Or tears that are only going to be hanging out in a box somewhere in the back of your closet or sold on eBay. Maybe we should demand them to get off their asses and start giving us something worth our while. Like Anthony said this thing should’ve been painted to the nines for that price tag. And all we got was a giant oversized marvel legend with Toybiz hands and a crappy light up feature

[@lowell3270]

Pretty cool figure, but a heartbreaking one at the same time. Like you said, it’s a $300 giant Marvel Legend. Nothing really spectacular about it in the long run. I’m curious to see how these will hold up and move in terms of aftermarket years down the line from people who bought multiple.

[@brianmartinez5453]

Haslab should make Master Mold

[@3hris_]

I get I can’t talk since I didn’t back this guy, but Hasbro, ratchet joints exist. I’m not a big ratchet guy, but when you have a figure of this size and weight, I think heavy ratchets for the legs should have been obvious. This seems like they tried to upscale something that works at 6inch range but not at this size.

[@Aames32]

They sell lights like that at the Dollar Tree for a dollar

[@SeanGabrielMcClelland]

The lack of leg ratchets is inexcusable in my opinion.

[@dominictrujillo3323]

You're not wrong. The sentinels were a lot more bigger.

[@TrueBlueMajikDewd]

Only downside is it would cost too much for them to do Master Mold.

[@airxtream2139]

I think the Sentinel is awesome but more paint on the detail sculpt would've made this an even better figure. Glad my only 1 of 3 of my Sentinels has slightly loose knees my other 2 has strong hips and knees

[@Antekrw1]

I can’t see the value for the price a bit like the Yellow Planet transformer thingy, the only good Haslabs seems to be the barge and razor crest

[@NaiveSteve]

I like the idea of large releases like this but I am 200% against a multi billion dollar company using crowdfunding to produce product for an ip like marvel

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's really no different than a pre-order as far as the consumer is concerned though. It basically just removes the risk for Hasbro. I don't see the negative aspect for us. What are your thoughts?

[@NaiveSteve]

@@AnthonysCustoms this might just be consumer ignorance but you have worked on an acton figure line so I actually really am curious if any of what I'm about to say tracks or if I am completely off base Kickstarter models primary objective is to make a product that could not otherwise be made. Up and coming creators that could not feasibly produce their work without the upfront cost being paid before hand. Hasbro is a multi billion dollar toy company and second biggest behind Lego so it doesn't feel like they need this model as they could easily make these and sell them like gangbusters. They don't need to establish themselves and using this model with backer goals and the like feels a little predatory as they can't promise you even get everything if enough people don't jump on (which doesn't make it feel like a pre-order which is a guaranteed product and not a maybe you do maybe you don't) maybe I'm also just confused why this wasn't just a pulse exclusive. It's already tooled and prototyped so they don't need the money to make them like independent kickstarters, and I thought the point of pulse was to sell things like this they couldn't get away with at retail and is aimed exclusively at adult collectors.

@@NaiveSteve They might be going for the "limited edition" aspect of the collectible market. But they did dictate the target.. 6000 and 14,000 for the Sentinel and Galactus, respectively. IMO, this is a brilliant way for a publicly traded company to make easy money, leveraging the band wagon mentality.

[@curseoffenrir]

600-700$! Good grief. As much as I’d like to have one of these, I’d be hard pressed to value it at 200$ The scale seems about right as I remember from the comics. Looks great under your lights though, thanks for the review.

[@reboandzooty]

It’s a cool idea, but I definitely am not getting one. I don’t have the money or the room, and the issues with the articulation are a dealbreaker at that price point.

[@masculinemindset6509]

I want one but I'm not paying $750 for it

[@ShupperDupper]

I watch the reviews because I won't ever own one so thanks.

[@vegettoblack7852]

I want a to scale galactus lol. Prob would have to be like 9 feet tall but still

[@vegettoblack7852]

Scratch that itd prob have to b as big as a house to b to scale to the marvel legends figures

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

I bought this because I’m a huge fan of the Sentinel arcs of the X-Men comicbooks. Knew what I was getting because they showed pictures of this 26in action-figure of the classic Sentinel design. It is in-scale with the ML 6in X-Men figures too. What totally disappointed me was the wonky knees - and now, the hip joints - that flop when I try to pose the figure. That’s an unforgiveable sin for a $300 toy. This has put me off Haslab products for life. They had our money ahead of time and the time to design this properly but screwed it up for their customers. Never again.

[@scragbyterc1059]

26” why do you say it’s not up to scale? Sentinels are 20’ tall so at 26” it’s a little above scale.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Not all Sentinels are 20 feet... Most are much larger...

[@marcom77]

I think it's way too big and I hate electric components in my figures. Even as a MasterMold. I wish they would've made either a 16 inch MasterMold or another 12 inch sentinel Variant. And alot cheaper.

[@TypicalToyReviews]

I just checked ebay on this guy and yikes, prices are down to $600 free shipping, after fees and shipping you are looking at maybe $470. Then you'd have to pay tax on that income. All on a cost of around $375. Turns out it wasn't such a great investment after all. With how many Galactus' sold I'm expecting ebay flooded barely over retail.

[@davinh.]

Toy companies focus on bringing enormous items but forgetting that space is a real issue.

[@brande2274]

fuck i wont lie i wish i could of cop this it looks really cool but good god the cost for this though is kinda high for me

[@legofigurereviews9797]

Based on the stories line hasbro was going for this sentinel is way under scaled

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's what i thought but others are saying it's fine

[@mrdude88]

That’s upsetting. A figure that large can afford more articulation without interfering with the integrity of the figure. Give it butterfly joint, 360 ankle articulation. Size is good, considering Marvel Legends isn’t set to a 1/12 scale but to a universal 6 inches with very slight differences in height. If figure were set to the scale we would have figures in various sizes.

[@kittymyths1208]

I would've bought if it wasn't so damn expensive

[@raymondjones5909]

I put super glue in the joints and the legs don't bend back at all when I lean it back on my hands or pose it

[@AnthonysCustoms]

that's a really bad idea. super glue doesn't have any durability in joints and you have a high risk of messing up your figure.

[@qadhafitsagifkadaroesman9679]

That thing bigger than 1/4 scale NECA

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yes

[@bee-beargaming]

I rather it be in scale
