The Haslab Marvel Legends Sentinel Vs Galactus - Just The Facts

The Haslab Marvel Legends Sentinel Vs Galactus - Just The Facts


Jay Cochran - August 18, 2021
Ever since Hasbro announced their latest Haslab Marvel Legends project for the Galactus figure in mid-July, I have seen a lot of collectors debating on whether or not this one is worth backing and comparing it to last years Haslab project for the Sentinel.

I believe each and every collector will have to determine for themselves that question of whether this new Galactus figure is worth getting or not and it's not my place or goal to try and influence you one way or the other with that decision. I did however want to provide folks with a simple break down of the factual differences between the two projects to help the consumer make a better informed decision of whether or not to get it

2020 Haslab Sentinel Initial Offering

2021 Haslab Galactus Initial Offering

-32” tall Galactus figure with 70+ points of articulation
-LEDs in head, chest and back
-3 alternate faceplates

Cost: $399.99

Minimum backers needed to be fully funded - 14k

Add-on stretch goals we know of but yet to be unlocked:

Tier 1 Add-On - 6" Marvel Legends Frankie Raye Nova to be unlocked if project achieves 16k backers


Final number of backers for Galactus: With just over 12 days to go before the project ends Galactus has 12,192 backers


Key differences between the two projects initial offerings:

Galactus is 6” taller than the Sentinel

Sentinel came with additional 6” Marvel Legends figure

Galactus costs $50 more than the Sentinel

Galactus requires 8k more backers to be fully funded than the Sentinel did

Freight shipping cost increases in 2021 - The average price world-wide to ship a 40-foot container has more than quadrupled from a year ago, to $8,399 as of July 1, according to a global pricing index by London-based Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd. The measure has surged 53.5% since the first week of May. Source WSJ

My Sentinal is currently displayed on a bookcase in my living room with his Orchis brethren along with the soon to be Uncanny and plain X Men lineups. (Pretty exciting that I have all the new members of those teams other than one) And he looks amazing btw.

Galactus and his Heralds are looming over my Vinyl cabinets in my living room looking even more amazing. Destroyer looks really cool between Terrax and Morg.

Never regretted getting either for even a second.

I messed around with Galactus for a day before I put him back in the box. Just had nowhere to put him at the time. But I should finally have a place set up this year ha.

As for the Sentinel, I may have had mine out for 20 minutes before I also put him back in the box. Ended up giving that one to of my siblings who missed out on it. As cool as he is, I just kept thinking man, I wish this was a good ol classic Sentinel. Wouldve backed a few if that were the case.

I still haven't even opened mine. Or my Sentinels for that matter. I'm the worst collector ever.

I was really considering buying this but it already sold out! I was just getting into the Marvel Legends line when Galactus was happening and I couldn't justify spending this much at the time but I always regret not snagging this one.

Only a 50% mark up? That's actually not so bad, considering what earlier HasLabs were going for.

Uh, not that I bought two just to flip one, no sir, not me...

What? See this is the kind of thing I think hurts Haslab projects. Not that there's any weight to it but this could give some people the standpoint of deciding to hold off on backing a project because they assume it will be available at a later time. Are these actual figures ordered by BBTS that were part of the backers or are these backers that backed out after the project funded? Pun not intended but appropriate I guess. I think this kind of thing could have hurt the Giant Man Haslab though I think the unlockables really did the actual damage after the initial funding TBH.

Look forward to seeing pics of Galactus displayed with Nova, Silver Surfer, Morg, the Fallen, Terrax, Herald Thor, Fire Lord, and Cosmic Ghost Rider. Wonder if we will get more Heralds in 2023.

I cant wait to see him show up on my doorstep!!! I have a display case all ready for him. Now that he is paid for and the Hiss tank is paid for I fail to have any excitement for the Ghost Rider. I think they need to focus on team sets rather than vehicles with Marvel Legends. Stick to vehicles with the GI Joe line. The Marvel Haslab team has their work cut out for them in my opinion because there isnt really and huge figures left that would be an instant seller. I think sets like the Masters of evil, sinister six, marauders and even morlocks would be a better idea than a ghost rider car. They also need to keep the sets in the 200.00 range to be really successful. Instead of fast profits they should look at longevity for this department.
