X-Men: House Of X Marvel Legends Tri-Sentinel Build-A-Figure Video Review And Images

One note useless character in the actual house of x comic. If you blink you won't notice its presence.

Is this figure to-scale? I have zero familiarity with this storyline/alt universe, and am used to Tri-Sentinel being giant. Despite my lack of familiarity, I dig it- it's a cool-looking figure, with an Evangelion-meets-Transformers Prime vibe. I wasn't super-enthused about this wave, besides Moira, since I've never read this storyline, but the more I see of the figures (Despite Jean and Charles having some big flaws- that alt head saves Charles), the more I dig it.

This is not the Tri-Sentinel you are familar with. This is from one of the many Alternate universe from the House of X storyline. In case it's not even called that in the story, it is called Theta Sentinel.

Looks pretty cool. Seems a good surprise how it looks too heavy but seems to balance pretty good.

I am also not too crazy for this wave either and I am passing unless I find a Moria on a shelf somewhere. Last year I planned on passing on the AOA wave but caved after finding them in person. This wave however does nothing for me because I never read the story.

Figure is well done but character wise it just isn't on the same levelas Nimrod for me, even tho that particular figure wasn't that well done. It is occasionally good to see waves being fully dedicated tocomicstory but I would rather wish this wave be more composite, and includeGoblin Queen, Banshee, Siryn orFeral.

That paint job looks really good. The wave is mostly a pass for me but I do like the BAF.

Marvel Girl and Cyclops from this wave has still eluded me so my Tri-Sentinel is still missing some limbs but so far I'm pretty impressed with this BAF. I've read HOX/POX and I barely remember the character but right now I like this BAF more than Caliban (I prefer waifish, Morlock Caliban)or Sugarman (way too wide, doesn't fit in my X-men Villains shelf).

Also, can confirm that the heads are a pain to assemble.

Prebandaging one's fingers (an old model builders trick to reduce x-acto knife wounds) can significantly reduce the pain involved in plugging the neck pegs into those sockets. I love how weird and creepy this thing is, and it's a really good figure. Aside from some funkiness with those necks, it's very well articulated and easy to pose, and it stands surprisingly well. Very well, actually. I have it on the shelf with Nimrod and Omega Sentinel.

say what you will about the figures in the AoA wave, but the Sugarman BAF was pretty impressive even tosomeone like me who's never read the original storyline, to the point where i ended up getting the whole wave (admittedly about 1/2 on clearance). The tri-sentinel is much less exciting imo;feels like they should've gone with something more amazing to lure in collectors who don't have much interest in HoX. but ymmv
