It's not that big of a deal, they're just teasing you.

Honestly I care more about the actual Sentinels than the extras myself, too, as do a lot of people because the female Prime wasn't even a thing when they sold the initial 6000.

I did just put down an order for a second one because Tri-Sentinel, though, so the extras did their job.

Eh Tri sentinel head is neat looking but not a game changer for me. I'll stick with my one. I'd say I'd likely throw the tri sentinel head up for offer to someone, but anyone who would need one should already have one with their sentinel.

It's a neat idea as it does give you some alternate display options. I personally just prefer my Sentinels to all look uniform. Though, I will definitely be making use of the damaged parts in photos and stuff.

A few of the webs from the Figuarts Iron Spider work with ML Iron Spider and Retro Spidey. Hasbro - we want webs with our Spider-men and women!

Are Figma Figs 1/12 scale?

Yes and no depending on the figure. Even at their maximum size though, they tend to run a bit small.

Moon Knight preorder available again.

I finally found the retro Spidey wave at Walmart, it looked like they had just put two cases out. The Spider-Man looks great but I'm happy enough with my existing Spider-Men so I held off.

Gwen is pretty great given that she's a civilian figure. Her skirt is obviously limiting but again this is Gwen the science student so just standing around is acceptable. My only nitpick is that the MJ head came out really well but doesn't look right on this body since Gwen's outfit is so iconic to the character.

The Green Goblin is overall good but not problem-free. I like the classic colors and the Goblin head sculpt is great but its eye paint is disappointing. The eyes are sculpted nice and large and the yellow is a good color but they made his pupils way too big. The Norman head is nice, I like the expression, but if they'd thrown in an unworn mask accessory I'd be more inclined to actually use it with this figure instead of just finding a suited body. The shoulder joints on mine are also on these tight ratchets that are unpleasant to deal with, it's been some time since I handled Hobgoblin or the Sandman wave Goblin but I don't remember this issue occurring with either of those.

I'm crossing my fingers that my preorder from 5 months ago won't get cancelled at the last minute. But if it does....I guess I'll just have to try again. Moon Knight is one of my favorite Avengers that isn't a "core" Avenger, so to speak. I'm looking forward to getting an update from him since I did not get the one from a few years back.

I still have an unclaimed extra. I lost the receipt, so I haven't been able to return it.

Did you use a Credit Card or Paypal??? From what happened with my Iron Man 2020. I found out that if the order is more than 30 days old , Walgreens will not keep doing a charge to keep the paypal going on your card. But you will not find out until the figure is ready to ship. My Iron Man was almost a month overdue and I got a cancelation notice and when I contacted them they told me it was because I used Paypal. If I had used a credit card the charge would have stayed. My moon Knight I pre ordered months ago was with Pay Pal also and I am just waiting for the cancelation notice. He is almost 3 week overdue now.

The MJ head looks pretty good on the old two pack MJ. Also my Gwen has a split in her skirt for leg motion and posing.

It is possible. They cancelled one of my preorders because they said that they couldn’t process my card. Strange because it’s the same card always for all orders. Luckily I made a separate backup preorder with an email that now says preorder shipping soon.

Yeah I've seen pics online showing that the new head does look good on that body, but for me that's an upgrade to a figure I don't even have in the first place. I don't have any spare female civilian type figure to pop this head on which is a real shame since it did come out so well. My figure does have a side cut in the skirt but even with that the hips are still limited, but like I said I'm perfectly okay with that since it's not like Gwen was regularly delivering high-kicks and somersaults.

[StuartGreen2019]

@En Sabah Nerd - Congratulations on finding the Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin figures. I can't wait for Amazon to send me mine next week. I also don't have the two-pack M.J. figure, so for now, I'm content to just have Gwen. But I really, really, REALLY would like a first appearance clothes Mary Jane remake with the head sculpt looking like her first appearance panel by John Romita Sr. I don't mind the eyes for Green Goblin, I'm just thrilled to have a new G.G. figure again after my last figure for him got lost in a move to a new home.

Also, Gwen Stacy and Spider-Man are in stock on Amazon and have been, from what I can tell, all day. It seems Amazon got a ton of them in stock and it's nice that those who missed out on them after all these weeks can finally pre-order them now.

And because it bears repeating, I'd really love to see this retro Spider-Man wave continue in 2021. I know we have rumored classic figures of Lizard and Shocker that may be coming soon in future waves, but there are plenty of Spider-Man suits (black costume, Bag Man, Web Armor, Octo-Spidey, Ben Reilly suit, etc.), villains, heroes and civilian characters that Hasbro can make for a second wave.

This always makes me scratch my head when people are like "but i'll have the money next week" or even better "will you take payment plans?". You won't have to worry about credit cards high interest rates if you pay it off quick enough. If you don't have a credit card to cover a $350 Sentinel than you might want to stop spending money on action figures.

I'm glad the Haslab Sentinel hit its goal of over 16K backers and it's currently sitting at over 18K with 15 hours left. I'll gladly accept any throw in's as most will be traded or sold as I backed it because of the Sentinel and nothing else really. Everything else is a bonus. I'm willing to bet that upon release you'll be able to get close to or even over $200 for all of the included items which means you'd only be out $150 for the Sentinel itself.

Thanks - I actually got and email from them that it's preparing shipment - of course, they could still cancel but that's something.

I used a credit card. I do have a paypal account but I don't use it much - it was mainly to help with trades on here although now I use it for ebay. That sounds like a pain in the butt for you, I hope it works out soon, somehow.

[sh002]

The Claire Temple body can possibly be used for Mary Jane or other women as well. Just paint the neck.

[Boy Blunder]

Man, looking at photos of him make me afraid of that Green Goblin.

[Harbinger]

That goblin is kind of a what if marty feldman played him in a mel brooks comedy.

[tierneygreen]

Over 19K backers for the Sentinel with just under 8 hours to go. Ya gotta feel sorry for whoever pitched that Cookie Monster for Haslab last year.

[Robb]

I picked up Moon Knight today, now I have to try and cancel the online order.

[redfox]

Love how crowded my X-men shelf has become! Keep it coming, Hasbro!!

[MeLikeJinx]

^ Would have been cool if there was an alt Jim Lee Rogue head in there with poofier hair and better face sculpting... but I guess maybe they are saving that for an actual re-release of Jim Lee Rogue.

Also... I don't think Pyro needed an alt head... just the evil grin head is good enough IMO.
