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. 👍

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 🤔

[ThisIsAUsername]

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.

[Robotfan]

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.

[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.

[fortressmattimus]

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.

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

[JayWoods]

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.

[megageek]

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.

[shorteststraw]

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.

[tomhensha]

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.

[dustybragg]

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

[yaboysgottoys]

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

[darthrizzen]

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!

[cavecollectibles]

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 😂.

[anxxst]

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.

[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.

[GregXB]

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.

[docavenger]

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

[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.
