Final Day to Pre-order Hasbro Marvel Legends Series X-men '97 Sentinel

3 is usually my magic number but I just went with the one on this. It's just a little too cartoony in design to mix as well as I'd like with the rest of my comic figures. Had they struck that balance a little better, I probably would have gone into splurge mode.

This dude was revealed the day after the order window for Dragon Man closed. Any chance we could see the next one in a day or so?

Well I was about to break down and order 2, but I'm on vacation and Pulse is saying my password isn't my password, so guess Im getting saved from my weakness.

LOL! Sooooo been there done that! Many times in the form of seeing something in store or online where I change my mind within a matter of minutes and go back to make the purchase after all only to find it gone or sold out within that short time it took me to argue with myself. I just take it as a sign. And most of the time I find I don't even miss it.

At this rate, in a yr or two they will do a perfect Byrne version of this with a less cartoony face. Idk, if they don't they don't. I think I'm petering out on the ginormous figures anyway.

I ended up pre-ordering two and I'll look forward to receiving them next year. I don't like these as much as I like the HasLab Sentinel of which I have four, but I still like it. I'm now also up to 7 of the 14" version of this from the kids' Epic Heroes line. Plus I still have one Toy Biz BAF Sentinel and two different decos of the one that Hasbro did later under their Marvel Universe line. Not too mention multiples of all of the smaller ones (retro card, HasLab pack ins, arcade versions, Wild Sentinel, etc). I'm a sucker for Sentinels.

Dan Yun teased something for today on his X/Twitter account. I was hoping that they'd announce a new made to order offering today after this closes, but it sounds like it's going to be a reveal made by Dan Slott at 3 pm CST today on his social media, which will probably be the Spider-Boy figure, which I'm excited for also. Who knows, maybe they'll let him reveal that whole wave.

Today is the final day to pre-order the made to order Hasbro Marvel Legends Series X-men '97 Sentinel from HasbroPulse with a suggested retail price of $174.99. You will not be charged until the time it ships and can cancel at any time before then.

I just think it's too big and undetailed sadly. I wanted to like it. But I just don't. My '97 collection is likely to be limited to three or four figures (Rogue, White Queen, Madelyne Pryor) and I don't think this would look that great with more detailed Legends figures.

Wait it doesn't even come with the boulders? So those were made specifically for the tease? That's crazy. They did look to me like some sort of manufactured piece but then again 3d printed parts can provide that effect.

I'm at max capacity for display space for Sentinels so I kind of forgot about these but they do look great in spite of that terribly cartoony damaged face plate. And if I didn't already have a decent display for Sentinels I probably would have jumped t these. In all honesty I do prefer the size of these over the Haslab one.

Late to the party but WHOA MAMA it's even better than I expected. So it doesn't include the busted up concrete thing they teased ? Anyway, for me it's a pretty big relief after all these years refraining from the temptation to just settle with getting some other sentinel out there. I don't care for cartoony versions of characters, but this is one that can easily work for the classic comic side and for that I'm thrilled!

As for the damaged head, it looks pretty spot on with '97
