Marvel Legends TRI-SENTINEL BAF X-Men Action Figure Review

This build-a-figure might be one of the most unimpressive releases in a while but will it's general aesthetic accuracy make up for the lack-luster finish?

People said you're a terrible reviewer? NO, YOU'RE NOT. You're easily one of the best! On top of all reviewer I have watched, you're the most helpful and gives actual facts to every figure you've review. You didn't use your actual preference in your review and that's very helpful and rare to see reviewers does that. You're the number 1 reviewer I recommend to anyone who wants to collect actual good figures. Keep review and do an awesome job at it. Ps. You know human anatomy/proposition as much as I do and I can't help but agreed to every words you said at the figures you've reviewed.

[@DefinitiveToys1]

I've been collecting Legends for a long while. That being said, those three heads were the most difficult piece, part, leg, arm, or head I have ever had to port in on a legend ever! Also it doesn't stand up for #!$t. Lets take a really solid somewhat weighty piece of plastic and then attach two toothpicks with small feet. It won't fall over constantly.

[@Tannerj50]

and that's right out of the box. just imagine them 6 months to a year from now after those knee joints start to loosen up, that thing will never stand on its own again.

YES! I had so much trouble with the heads, I just assumed I was either doing it wrong, or I got a lemon

[@brooklynrenegade]

This seems like the kind of figure that few people would buy if it was released as a stand alone figure. How do you feel about the Sam Wilson Captain America BAF line where the BAF is the wings and the figure stand?

[@DuplicitousDark]

The wing baf is crap.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

not a fan of that being a baf. i remember when we got more elaborate figures as standard releases and they were simply less profitable occasionally.

[@datboi6358]

Heya Antony! I’ve been a long time viewer and supporter, I was wandering if you could add pictures of the other designs or characters you reference as you go? I think it would make the less knowledge people not have to stop and look it uo

[@AnthonysCustoms]

sure

[@cincila6981]

In another review it was really possable in terms of range so I liked it ,but I agree about BAFs. They could just make deluxe figures for $30. I wonder if in case of removing BAFs,would standard figures get accessories as a change?

[@Zombub]

They could do the deluxe figs, plus whatever big figs Hasbro does for Hasbro Pulse

[@TomoeBassist]

I'm definitely enjoying the Evangelion-esque design. It also works as a general 'future' sentinel. The heads were a nightmare on mine as well. Literally had to heat up the torso/neck with a hairdryer just to get them in

[@spadesplays8249]

It’s actually the Theta Sentinel yes it has three heads so it is a Tri-Sentinel but a different one. It’s from Dawn of X. I really like the design. Can’t wait till the HasLab Sentinel comes out. Peace out man take care.

[@reboandzooty]

I do like this design yes. Love all the recent new designs for the comics

[@twistedsyncapation413]

Wouldn’t it be nice if they stopped making BAF!!! I don’t want anything in the line but I’d love to get my hands on Venompool and the upcoming Ursa Major

[@twistedsyncapation413]

@@michaelshade1702 yeah, I wasn’t impressed with the Vemon (small minority) I don’t like the movie or the design. Plus the Venom didn’t have a BAF piece. Carnage was a brilliant figure but I have the Amazing Yamaguchi (and AY Venom) one which I’m extremely pleased with. While Venom is a favourite of mine with a lot of nostalgia attached I just wasn’t into the movie of the figure and consider classic Venom or Monster Venom “my Venom”. I’m a pretty conservative collector so I don’t often double-up of a figure with some exceptions) I’m happy to skip Carnage and Phage. As far as the rest I thought Ghost Spider was ugly and Morbius was underwhelming however the BAF itself is gorgeous and pretty well executed for a chunky guy.

[@The_token__black]

I know that dorksidetoys sells bafs loose but at a higher price, and you have to wait for them to get in stock. The Ursa Major is sold out already, so you have to wait. im not about venompool tho

[@twistedsyncapation413]

@@The_token__black that’s mate, I’ll keep my ear to the ground

[@Tannerj50]

@@twistedsyncapation413 i honestly think carnage is the only standout figure of that wave, but venom and carnage are the only symbiotes id consider necessary, ive already missed out on scream and lasher so it isn't a big deal to me if i miss phage. i didn't mind the venom movie, but i wasn't completely engaged in it either,i think movie venom is selling well because alot of people are making original venom customs with it,but i dont dabble in customs and those feet are hideous. in general i think that wave was actually pretty half assed, and the baf is what got most of the budget.

[@stickbat5856]

Am I the only one that collects but also still plays with my action figures?

[@FireBomberBassist]

I pose them. Does that count as play?

[@Wolfie1262]

I’d rather they just split the line into a Basic Legends and Deluxe Legends, with the BAFs put in the deluxe line. They know we’ll buy them at a higher price point if they have paint and stuff. We’ve been buying NECA for years.

Good review!

[@hannahsaphire7643]

You are the best reviewer… honest, descriptive and knowledgeable. I think that hater should go pound salt & take the basic BAF and it’s sloppy 3 heads with him

[@krisWolverine]

You are one of the best if not the best reviewer out there, people just don't like reviewers that criticize objectively their hobby for many reasons; It's annoying to see reviewers pretending that everything is ok with Hasbro and Mcfarlane, NECA etc... because they are afraid to loose some free figures here and there, we pay fot these figures and as a costumers we can express our opinion. I may not agree with you all the time, but at least I know you are being honest with your reviews. BTW yes, Marvel Legends are Collectibles.

[@STEEVEWES]

Thank you

[@carman2899]

I think they should use BAFs for less popular characters, characters like Hulk, Juggernaut, M.OD.O.K, Hulkbuster ot the Destroyer should be deluxe figures

[@sithlord519]

If u want a real challenge try putting together the bane baf.

[@VerdeletVIII]

The heads were super difficult (and painful) to put in. I had to shave one of the ball joints down a little bit for one.

Hey Anthony, wanted to let you know that I got an email from bbts today saying that my pre-order for the figma sekiro (regular ver.) will be processed soon. This means they are going to get it in stock soon in case you had plans of getting it. Do you think you could please fit that in your schedule? It would mean a lot to have you review it!

Sorry. No plans to review that one. I have to buy it to review it. Not personally interested in the ip.

Think so

[@jesusdavidmartinezsilveyra3983]

Marvel Legends are not collectibles, they are pretty good updated kids toys, I think the problems is the price, for 10 dollars or 15 with a baf piece I'll be happy with them, remember how toybiz originally made Marvel Legends to look super realistic, it always felt like they were going for a "what if this characters where real people" vive, sadly those days are far gone

[@AnthonysCustoms]

We know they are collectibles for no other reason than the fact that you need to collect the whole wave to have this figure... They are definitely collectibles. They just don't seem like it all too often.

[@jesusdavidmartinezsilveyra3983]

@@AnthonysCustoms I mean you can technically collect anything, but I know what you mean, you are supposed to buy them all to get the BAF, but if you look at them for what they are not for what we want them to be, they are expensive versions of very basic toys, I want them to be collectibles, I want them to be good, but they are just a neat thing to have in your desk, as a toy, I hope that makes sense haha

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yes but those two ideas aren't mutually exclusive. They are both.

[@Yats6417]

I feel like the BAF structure gives hasbro an excuse to make low quality figures or to make figs that are easy reuse that people didn't really want all that much

You got that right! What a complete letdown of a figure, I was so disappointed. Ended up returning mine after preordering it. Should’ve returned Wolverine as well. Very disappointed in this wave.

[@GratefulPrimate]

Thank you for saving me money, Anthony. Pass!

[@ThisIsAUsername414]

I really like marvel's BAF idea, I just wish that they'd be upgraded or repainted versions of bigger figures that either have been, or will be released later on. I know they do it sometimes, but it's not a guarantee and having to buy a wave with some lame figures just to complete the BAF isn't fun. In fact, it'd be cool if the star wars line did something like that as long as it didn't take away from the quality of each individual figure. And I respectfully disagree about whether Marvel Legends is for kids or adults, I don't see why it can't be for both equally (or rather the line is arbitrary). It's a 20 dollar toy, and a toy is a toy. Sure adults can review it with higher standards but I don't see what makes those standards anything more than subjective views. To me, most of these figures are awesome because they're about right for the price they are, and I see nothing wrong with having that view. I see plenty of kids toys that adults buy and collect (unless by kids, we're talking about infants who play with duplo or something. In which case adults are still free to buy and collect them if they want).

[@AnthonysCustoms]

You seem to be confusing the difference between objective and subjective criticism. It's objective if the arm falls out or if there isn't sufficient paint. It's subjective if you care about that given your personal preferences based on the price/value determination. My job is to provide all of the information. That allows you to determine which things are important to you based on the price.

[@ThisIsAUsername414]

@@AnthonysCustoms True but that's not what I was referring to. Pointing out an arm that falls out is objective criticism, but determining whether there's enough paint is subjective. Outside of showing errors in the paint application, "is there enough paint" depends on the standards you hold to how accurate you think the figure is in representing the source right? The same figure may seem to be painted badly with little detail to one person while looking perfectly fine to another because of the expectations different people have. I don't mean to say that providing all the information is bad. It's why I watch multiple people review the same products because different people focus on different things to a different extent. I agree with some points, disagree with others, and find out new points I didn't even consider. But my point that you may have missed was whether or not marvel legends was for kids or adults, which I think it's for both based on what someone determines is important when purchasing the toy (that's where subjective came in, I didn't comment on what you did as your job). An adult making a review video on a figure and a kid swooshing around the same figure and telling me its cool hold the same merit to me. I don't see a need to think "this was intended for adults but made accessible for kids". It's just a toy that all ages can enjoy and hold to their different standards.

[@FireBomberBassist]

I dont like the design that much. It reminds me of Dodrio from Pokemon. Also I agree with you on this as a BAF, this thing kind of fails.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I just noticed your little icon thingy says you've been subbed for only 6 years but you've been here longer than that, no? Like almost since the beginning if memory serves.

[@FireBomberBassist]

@@AnthonysCustoms I don’t remember but yeah it’s been a long time. Keep up the content. I like your honest reviews.

[@ScarletKirisame]

Why dose this figure reminds me of Evangelion?

[@kristopheraleman]

This was a dumb choice for a BAF. There are a lot more interesting characters. I know people are against regular sized BAF's, but in House of X there weren't big characters. They should make very elaborate characters that they can't do single releases of and and sell bigger figures as single releases especially when they're as crappy as the Tri-Sentinel. If they made it a single release, they see that no one wanted this as a BAF. You only need 4 figures to make McFarlane's BAF's. Thanks for your videos. They actually let Hasbro know what they're making and us know what we're spending money on.
