9/16/2023 0 Comments Tri sentinel![]() ![]() There are some slightly fuzzy edges, but for the most part it’s pretty good. The application’s generally pretty clean. There’s a lot of metallics in the finish, which does look pretty good. A few different purples, and some silver and grey. The paint work on the Tri-Sentinel is pretty basic, and follows the usual Sentinel set-up. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience putting it together, really, especially for my hands. On top of that, it’s pretty hard to get the heads in there in the first place, due to the tight, cluttered placement, and how small the necks are relative to the heads. ![]() I think the socket for the joint is just a little too shallow for it to properly seat. That middle head in particular just keeps wanting to pop out of place on mine. Firstly, the sculpting doesn’t allow for a ton of range at the base of the heads, and secondly, they just really don’t want to stay in place. The only real issue is with the way the heads connect to the torso. ![]() The articulation is also pretty solid, allowing for a rather wide range of motion, without too much impact on the sculpt. The detailing does feel a little soft in a few spots, especially on the core body, but it’s not terrible. It captures the design from the series pretty closely, and it’s fairly clean. Instead, it’s an all-new sculpt, based directly on the art from the book. There was discussion when this figure was unveiled (well, after the resounding “wait, what is that?” reaction) about it making use of parts from the SP//dr Build-A-Figure, but it actually doesn’t share any parts with that release at all. The figure stands 8 inches tall and has 31 points of articulation. I guess Wolverine goes with it? Maybe that was the main reason for him getting the extra head? That would actually make sense. I mean, most of them are present day designs, and it’s from the future. It’s based on the Theta Sentinel design as seen in the future sequences of “Powers of X”, tying it in with the rest of the assortment…sort of. The Theta Sentinel, or “Tri-Sentinel” as it’s been dubbed by Hasbro on the packaging, is the Build-A-Figure for the Tri-Sentinel Series of Marvel Legends. Despite their quite minor role, they nevertheless serve as the inspiration for the newest X-themed Build-A-Figure for Marvel Legends, which I’m taking a look at today. During the sequences set 90 years in the future, amongst the Sentinel forces are a new form of the Tri-Sentinel, dubbed the Theta Sentinels. As the story jumps around, we see the Sentinels in a variety of forms, as their designs advance. The Sentinels, a recurring X-Men foe since their introduction in the ’60s, continue this trend as foes into the “House of X” story line, where they and the humans present the primary faction warring against the titular team of mutants. ![]()
