Could someone please explain to me the love affair with TB Sentinel?

And I get that the size is a factor, but that isn't enough to sell me on a figure that singularly costly.

Sculpted detail, paints and washes, size, insane amount of articulation, the tentacles, it's intimidating look...to put it lightly, I have high end 1/6 scale figures that don't have the amount of detail and articulation that thing has.

That DoFP Sentinel is alright, but doesn't hold a candle to the TB Sentinel in terms of paints, articulation and sculpt. If you're into the the cartoony, early 80's comic book look of the newer Sentinel...that's cool, but when you compare the two against one another, the ToyBiz version is the better figure overall.

The paint, the shading, the unique sculpts, the texture, and the detail was almost McFarlan quality, they did often sacrifice sculpt for Gymics and articulation, toybiz spidey looks like pizza spideys skeleton put on his suit. And the women looked hookers that washed up on a beach in New Jersey. See rouge...woof. The toybiz BAFs though, that’s a different story, sentinel, fin fang foom and, mojo are still my favorite bafs and giant man is amazing, but they look out of place next to the flatter paint style of the modern hasbro stuff.

Yes, Blob was Hasbro, I stand corrected. Still, awesome looking BAF and I still want him for my brotherhood shelf

For me honestly, it the articulated fingers. What other ML figure can flip you off? And he’s heavy as hell.

Exactly why I have him, but figured it would be a good trade for a Blob as a lot of collectors still hunt for that Sentinel.

Which figures had individual finger articulation? The figures I have and seen only had the entire four fingers as one giant block, which makes fists look retarded.

The baf sentinel from toybiz. Also antman wave sentry and wave 8 modern ironman had articulated fingers.

The first thing I did with my Toybiz Spidey figures when they came out of the packaging was flip off other figures. It ended up becoming a real life meme for me back before memes even existed...lol

A bunch of them did...I know for certain that several Spider-Man figures did...both on the Legends side and for the Movie lines.

The original Apocalypse BAF also had articulated fingers, however they were curled at the knuckle so they could easily make a fist, so old En Sabah could only give you a half hearted attempt at the bird.

[sh002]

Yep those Sentinels were cool like that.

[kylactus]

That made my night man.

My fav Legends Spidey is the Vintage Wave 2 unmasked Scarlet Spider, but I only have 2 Spideys... that one and the new Spiderman 2099.

I want a Spiderverse movie unmasked Gwen Stacy headscult so bad (she kinda reminds me of Rapunzel from Tangled). I wouldn't even mind if it were stylized a bit to make it look more CG cartoonish accurate. I also want the Mile Morales suit with the hood.

Does anyone know, will the ToyBiz flight stands work with the Hasbro Archangel? I'd heard the wing pack has a peg at the bottom that might be compatible.

I agree. I like the TB Sentinel, but nowhere near enough to pay the eBay prices for it. I don't particularly like the sculpt either, especially the hip joints, only the paint is genuinely significantly superior to the Hasbro version, in my opinion.

Ditto. A huge missed opportunity that Hasbro didn't tool a new hairpiece for that two-pack.

Not necessarily. It wasn't just special to Spider-Man and BAFs. There were several others that had individual fingers, including Bullseye, Carnage (SM Classics), Juggernaut (X-Men Classics) Venom (both Classics and Legends,) Sabertooth, several Captain Americas, War Machine and the modern Iron Man, and others.

what about the funko Mystery Mini version. about the same scale https://www.ebay.com/itm/Funko-Myste...0dNp:rk:1:pf:0

Recent haul...Got BW for 25.00, and saw Cloak and Dagger together....Could not resist getting Cloak without Dagger, and had to say sorry to my wallet!...

Note: I hope that Maverick wins a spot on the Hasbro’s fan poll. I been really iching for him to be made for some reason...The 3.75 version is as awesome as it rare...And, another thing, Hasbro, can we get a BAF Antman in his black and red gear to match the 2 pack or even the Walgreens exclusive, please! Shot, I would even settle for BAF Antman that makes the vintage wave blue and red or even a MCU version, but a Antman or Giantman BAF is way pass due! Happy Holidays, Arkers!

There was a movie Giant-Man BAF for Civil War, although he wasn't nearly big enough.

Sorry, let me rephrase my wish...That MCU Antman was a weak attempt of a BAF by Hasbro, even though I have that one!...I would like to see an Antman or Giantman the size of Toybiz’s Giantman BAF...
