I was hoping for $150, but a Sentinel would make for a nice centerpiece to my X-Men '92/'97 display. We need a battle damaged Morph now with a "Wolverine! Fall back!" expression.

Sentinal looks good, but that's it? 🙁 I remember when NYCC was bigger, and better.

I'm elated about the Sentinel, but one reveal takes so much gall. That's hilarious.

Yeah...   It's huge and $175 -  so probably a one and done purchase still.   I honestly think that's a mistake.   Make it smaller and cheaper and sell more of them, man.       If it was 18 inches and $120 I'd be in for at least 2... but I don't have the space and don't want to make the budget for two at this size and price.

 

And that's the ONLY reveal they brought to the show.   bit of a let down to be honest.

That’s a nice classic Sentinel. Looks great. Not enough to make me want it but still…

Yep, 22 inches for $175. That's probably fair. I'm glad they didn't include any unnecessary electronics that would have bumped up the price even further. I would have loved a cheaper alternative, but I'll likely still buy 2 of these. It will go well with my 4 HasLab Sentinels, 2 Marvel Universe Gigantic Battles Sentinels, ToyBiz Sentinel BAF, 5 Epic Heroes X-Men '97 Sentinels, 3 retro card sentinels, 2 arcade sentiels and how ever many human sized Sentinels I have. Can never have enough Sentinels, right?!?

Massively underwhelmed. I already have all the Sentinel I need in my life with the Toybiz BAF and the MU one. Didn’t need the Haslab, didn’t need the human sized ones, don’t need this. And it probably leaves the door open for a 12”ish one down the line too.

Even if I was in the market for more Sentinel, I really don’t like the flat cartoon face - I get that’s the aesthetic, but I’m not digging it.

I was hoping for at least a sniff of something else, but nope.

I remember being pumped over NYCC in recent years, this just....sucked.  Hard.  Transformers delay Devastator again, and one Legends reveal?  Hope something is teased or revealed in a display case this weekend.

 

I won't be buying this.  It looks nice enough, but I want a '97 Cable before I even think of dropping money on big ticket items.

Not Sure what the fuck is going on with Hasbro recently. Lame reveals after lame reveals. Dragon Man was cool, but that's it. I mean, Sentinel looks amazing too. But 175$ is to much for army building, I agree with PantherCult. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the last few years for the line. When does that license expire again?

But like...ONE REVEAL...one. That's just pathetic. What are you waiting for? Why do you even need to split these. It sucks. I don't care if there are some other events and cons, can you put it all together?

Is it sad that I was way more enthusiastic about the GI polar bear than I was for the Sentinel?

That's not sad... that's appropriate.   Polar Bear's are awesome.
