Edit: had a better analogy

Your response just proves the point that I was making.

The Legends team didn't need to know Omega Sentinel's story to make a figure of her Powers of X appearance. They found artwork from the story and used in to make the figure in the Tri-Sentinel wave. They did a good job because the details on the figure match the artwork in Powers of X. As for the alternate head, they appear to have used the artwork that I posted from House of M. It shows a version of Omega Sentinel with dark brown hair and a warm skin tone. The deco is slightly off but it's still a woman with a metal face, brown hair, and a flesh tone chin.

As for the responsibility the Legends team or Hasbro needs to take? Give me a break. Marvel's own artists can't seem to agree on her race and they've had over 20 years to do it. They have a better handle on how her powers and costume should appear than her race. They even approved the design of the Marvel Legends figure. The Legends team is currently trying to bring a $350 per unit crowd funded project to fruition, deal with a movie studio who's security is tighter than the federal government's, while producing more Marvel Legends figures than all other Hasbro brands produce of their own respective figures. And they're dealing with all of that during a pandemic. Yet they need to take responsibility for a mistake with an alternate head of a character that's largely remained in obscure status since 2000? Like I said, give me a break.

If their mistake has to be pointed out to us after 5 months, then the Legends team deserves a little slack.
