Is this where we're doing the Phoenix talk? Cause holy shit this figure is awesome. The base took a couple minutes to put together. Snapping the bird in wasn't all that intuitive till you see the slots for it. But the figure itself, they did a great job. She looks new? The hands are reused of course. But new torso joint? New heads. Double jointed arms. New sash? Probably old pinless legs. Anyway, while I don't think it was worth the $52, it definitely is a nice piece. Only reason I grabbed it at that price though is it looked like it sold out some places, and I didn't wanna miss it. Jean is one of my fave XMen and this figure is miles beyond the last one we got in this outfit. I'm almost tempted to put the TRU exclusive dark Phoenix on that base and leave Jean on the old one I have from Toy Biz. But I unno if I should. I didn't get the new dark version cause I love the colors of the old one, and the new joints weren't worth buying her again. This one is a definite upgrade though.

No date when but I’m glad we’re still getting more from the show.

This is a dream figure to me. These are how I always picture sentinels looking. The Haslab was great but the colors weren’t quite there for me. I’ll be getting a few of these for sure!

Definitely pre ordered that Sentinel.  It looks perfect.  I'm so glad they did this version, and I'm glad we'll be getting more X-Men 97 figures.

I'm only getting one for now. This one will look great with Bronze Age X-Men figures.

I never got the Haslab Sentinel but I like the classic look and more importantly the price of this one.

I bought four of these sentinels. These toys will be the centerpiece of my collection for sure

I really hope Hasbro makes another Bastion. Maybe with his wings and looking more robotic.

I really just want his normal human-like form from the comics.  I'll likely settle for the 97 version when they do it, but I wouldn't mind if there's a deluxe robo-Archangel-looking version if it can double for the one from the comics too and not just 97.

As for the 97 Sentinel I'm tempted but not sure what I really wanna do as the Haslab Ghostbusters car and acc. is going too.  Get one or the other, get both, get neither, sell a kidney and make finding space for these giants a problem for "tomorrow" me.  It gets to be so much especially with Christmas coming and all the other regular preorders I've planned.  Can I fathom that I even considered the Batwing from McFarlane's BTAS series that's the size of a manhole cover?  Oh the absurdity.

First world problems I guess.  Waaaah, I can't decide what toys to buy.

I wonder if this Sentinel reuses any of Giant -man parts. They did say finger articulation is the same

I limited to preordering one for. now, but could preorder more. I will do so individually so that I can cancel individual orders. Can’t cancel multiples from the same order. It’s all or nothing that way.

@jtmarsh Just to assist in making (possibly) terrible financial decisions 🤣 .....remember the Sentinel is a preorder so you won't have to pay for it until it is shipping next year.   Unlike the Haslabs that you have to pay for once the funding period ends.
