Thanks for the pics Mike!

Love seeing all the upcoming stuff (that we know about) together. Agreed about Phoenix, she looks pretty stunning here - I think this might have convinced me to put an order in, even though I'm still grumpy about the boots and gloves not being sculpted.

Very stoked for Death's Head. I don't think they've revealed how non-attendees can get him and the other exclusives, but if anyone finds out please share!

The new Sentinel colors are... weird (not digging the pink)? Still, I'm getting at least 2 of them.

Arcade Game Sentinels!

More pictures here

I was confused why no one was showing these in their SDCC photos, but apparently these photos are from (appropriately) a gaming convention in Hong Kong (ACGHK 2024) that's happening right now.

Those are definitely Model 09 Iron Man's boots, but I'm not sure how much else is from him. They seem much taller, and plenty of new parts.

Dreading how many of these I'm going to want, and there's definitely not gonna be any sales on these bad boys.

You have to get two - that's how they come!

I'm wondering if the battle damaged head from the 5 point Sentinel will fit on these

He's not available for ordering yet, but Death's Head is up on Hasbro Pulse.

Death's Head - Hasbro Pulse.

Hopefully they give some sort of time frame so we don't have to be eagle-eyed on the website for the next two weeks.

@h-bird Weirdly enough, I don't think they are the Model 09 boots. Those have a little chamfer at the top and a slot in the side and neither seem present on these. The foot piece too is missing the ridges.  Not only that, in the pics it says these are over 7 inches tall. This is a whole new scale and might be completely new tooling.

This is wild and I NEED to know when they're going for sale.

Yep! I was just there. Had to renew my Premium service.

That's even better! Really glad they made these properly scaled. Hoping we have some other arcade game figures in the pipeline...

That would be cool! Oh dang, what if they did the Arcade Nimrod (that one based on the Nimrod/Master Mold fusion that ended up becoming Bastion)!? I'm honestly shocked these aren't more reuse. The colors seem a little off to me. I recall the purple being deeper and the fuchsia being redder, but frankly that's not a big enough deal for me to pass on them. I'm in for 4-6.

These Hasbro e-mails/notifications saying "DROPPING NOW!" are giving me agita.

I got the notification on my phone and clicked it - app won't load. Closed, reloaded, app still won't load.

Who in the world thought it was a good idea to launch an entirely new sales platform right before SDCC??

The new drop isn't any of the new Legends stuff.

I forget where I saw it but someone did a mockup of the Arcade Sentinels that looked more like the Haslab head and came with the Xcutioner's little sentinel gauntlet arm gun accessory.  I honestly preferred that mockup to these.  Entirely too neon for my tastes.  I guess now I'll wait for a reissue in a less bright color?  Don't remember if the arcade ones had the yellow buttons on the chest, but that seems glaring on these too.  Looks like a decent sculpt (borrowed) but just in the wrong color (for me).

The Fwoosh PR breakfast has revealed a Kang and hoverchair throne thing. Deluxe figure. Multiple face plates.
