Sentinals

[randy bowen]

Hi Gang-

A little info help here please:
How tall are Sentinals supposed to be?

Y'know- average classic Sentinal height?

Are they as tall as Galactus? I know Galactus can be different heights depending on his hunger level-but- I'm just trying to gauge in relation to our line.

[Bullseye]

Oh yeah. Here come the Sentinals. Mini i presume.

FS SENTINAL :eek: YES !!! :buttrock:

In the original X-men (Neal Adams era) they were around 20 to 25 feet tall.

But later on in in X-Men 97 98 and 99 Dave C. drew them a bit larger probalby 30 to 35 feet or so tall.

[Bullseye]

If this is a mini what size will it be?

[JDH]

If Sentinel is in the Galactus scale, it should be shorter than a normal statue. If it's in X-Men scale, it will be huge. Though it's not one for my collection, it will be interesting to see what BD do with this one. I hope Perna gets his base of choice.

[Bullseye]

Have you checked the SS one. But the size of this is gonna be interesting. I'll be down for one. I know you want to use this as the Olympic Torch Jess.:)

[bigben7]

should be matched up with x men statues not galactus.neal adams version will rock

[Collection King 13]

HUH? They all have to fit together... They are all in the same scale....

[Bullseye]

Juggy is 7 foot plus. The Sentials will be almost three times as tall. I can't see that working.

[Jesse321]

A Sentinal can hold a full size human (or mutant) in the palm of 1 hand, so if it's gonna be in scale withe FS pieces it's gonna be gigantic!

I would think that (like Galactus) it should be in scale with the Mini's

[JDH]

HUH? They all have to fit together... They are all in the same scale....

Galactus is in a different scale to the X-Men (and, in my opinion, also the minis - I think he's in a scale of his own, so I display him well apart from the rest). Sentinel will have to be a brand new scale between full-size and mini to work, I think. Unless they plan on putting him in a box the size of most London starter homes.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Juggy is 7 foot plus. The Sentials will be almost three times as tall. I can't see that working.
Me neither. At that size I don't have anywhere to display it.

[JDH]

Have you checked the SS one. But the size of this is gonna be interesting. I'll be down for one. I know you want to use this as the Olympic Torch Jess.:)

I've seen the purple preview glimpse - looks like an impressive sculpt, though the Colossus pose looks a little awkward and I shudder at the thought of a light-up anything. It will probably look very impressive, but just not my style of piece. I couldn't quite tell if there was much of a Sentinel apart from wreckage in that one though...

[Bullseye]

What would be wrong with having it the same size as the Galactus one.

[Tony Coca]

Me neither. At that size I don't have anywhere to display it.
unless it comes in pieces and you put it together.

[JDH]

What would be wrong with having it the same size as the Galactus one.

I think that will be the best solution, but then it will be out of scale with everything, except probably it will match the mini-statues better than Galactus does.

[JDH]

unless it comes in pieces and you put it together.

Yeah, they could include a Sentinel piece with every statue! Amazing no-one has thought of doing something like that before... :)

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Even that one I'm having problems displaying.

[Nightcrawler777]

Im with Bullseye...
Just make him the same size as Galactus...

[JDH]

Has anyone called Perna to ask what size he'd like it? I think he should choose.

[Jesse321]

What would be wrong with having it the same size as the Galactus one.I could go along with that.

[Collection King 13]

Even that one I'm having problems displaying.
Really?

[Collection King 13]

Same Size as the Big G sounds good to me...

[Ghost]

Can we at least say a bit taller then Big G? Or at least the Sentinel's head would start at the tip of Galactus' headdress thingy. I want this to be a good portion taller then say like Colossus or someone...

[Collection King 13]

If Colossus is 7 ft. 5 in. Armored then the Sentinel on this cover is at least 50 feet tall

[Foord]

How about a MEGA bust or half statue, in scale with the full size statues, that would at least solve the scale problem, and be a crossover piece for those that collect both? Maybe that would contravene the license agreement. Just an idea...

[Collection King 13]

I just found this site about Sentinels (http://www.mutanthigh.com/tech/sentinels.html)...

It says that the 1st Sentinal was only 12 feet tall...

[Wooktroop]

I just found this site about Sentinels (http://www.mutanthigh.com/tech/sentinels.html)...

It says that the 1st Sentinal was only 12 feet tall...

strange that site says the Mark I was "Approx. 12 feet"
and the site i posted says the Mark I was 20 feet

that site also says the Mark V is "Approx. 22 feet" when they have a picture of the Mark V (right under it) from Marvel Universe the clearly states its 20 feet...they are clearly confused.

hmmmm can we find a 3rd party view

[lord odin]

Im with Bullseye...
Just make him the same size as Galactus...
ditto I never saw the big deal with being in scale if it looks good and I like it I buy it simple.there is something called risers. :rolleyes2

[Tao]

Love to see this about the Galactus size, maybe a little bigger like about 24". That way it would be about 2X height of most statues. Not "in scale" but also not impossible to display.

Got to keep rising cost of oil, for the resin and the freight back over to the USA. If it get's too big, the price will lower the potential sales.

[randy bowen]

Perhaps a poll?

1) Same size as Galactus FS price around $175

2) In scale with mini-statues retail price around $200

3) In scale with FS X-Men statues- around 30 inches tall (not including the base) retail price between $225-$250 depending on the complexity of the base.

[DDura711]

Ok, The Galactus statue was a mini statue in scale with the mini statues of the FF, Why would the mini statue Sentinal be the same size or bigger? Did I miss something? Oh, and a purple chrome varaint would absolutely rock! :D

I doubt a 30" would be $250........

Also there are no many other statues that can be done....enough with large purple statues

[Bullseye]

If you offering the same scale as X-men that would be awesome. But it would be too big. I say same size as Galactus.

[nexus]

Unless you do something cool with the base or accessories (read Army men sized defeated X-men), I'd say make it huge.

Folks were suggesting that that would be a good size to shoot for- regardless of it being in scale. To be truly in scale with the mini statues would make it 20+" tall (not including the base)

[lord odin]

I`m with you on this we need purple large statues. :)

[Bullseye]

So there is a 10" difference. Its going to be big either way.

[DDura711]

I can't see it being taller then Galactus. I'd say like 18" would be perfect if it's gonna be a sort of mini scale statue.

[Nightcrawler777]

What are you guys thinking!?!?!?!

How in the Blueist of Blue He!!s could any of us find room for a 30inch statue..
It was hard enough to find a glass case for Galactus...

Size of Galactus is the way to go...

[Bullseye]

At least most people could display a Galactus size one.

[ickwinzs]

make it 30"tall!! That would be sweet!! Anyone that would have a hard time displaying it, will make room in the end! MAKE IT HUGE!!!

[BobbyW]

I would want it tall! The base will make this statue, and displaying a 30in tall statue around the other regular sized statues would look fantastic!

Super-size mine, please! :D

[Scott Johansen]

same as Galactus. That way it's already purple and the right size so all the Hawkeye fans.........(all five of them)...........can just customize it into Hawkeye!!! :) Just kidding you HAWK fans!! :laugh: Seriously though.......go with the Galactus size. I put some Heroclix F.F. figures on the base of my Galactus and it looks cool. The same thing could be done with X-Men!!

Scott J.

[Tao]

I would so buy at least 2 30" ones so that I could customize on with "battle damage"


BIGGER IS BETTER


Heck yes :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[TN Reptile]

So the Galactus mini statue was never really in scale with the mini statues at all? If that's the case just make it to suit yourself. None of the X-men mini statues interlock bases like the FF anyway. I know I'm sounding dumb on this but I don't have any of the mini FF or the Galactus. Plus Perna has the right idea, Sentinal standing in the ruins of Xaviers school, as long as there is the purple chrome variant. :laugh: :eplus2:

[Jesse321]

So the Galactus mini statue was never really in scale with the mini statues at all? Galactus's size varies depending on how much eanergy reserve he has, so that size in comparison to the mini FF statues isn't necessary wrong.

The Sentinals on the other hand (depending on which series id being discussed) are a stable height.

hell just make a head as big as a full size statue and make it master mold.

[Relic Reaper]

If I bring a 30" Sentinel home, I strongly suspect the Sheriff will be bringing me divorce papers the following day. :laugh:

All joking aside, while the 30" Sentinel sounds cool in concept, I can't even begin to guess where the heck I would display it. Not to mention that shipping would be a nightmare for a statue that size.

[SirConor]

YEAH MAKE It AS BIG AS POSSIBLE!!!!

[mfrancoiii]

i agree, if it is 30 inches, we all will make room for it i'm sure. i know i will! :buttrock:

[Tattoo-X]

Same size as Galactus would be cool.
Good thing I haven't made that display cabinet yet. I'll have to rethink this whole thing now.

[Tetragrammaton]

I would argue that a 30-inch statue would be impractical and too expensive for most buyers (me for one). While cool, is too much of a good thing.

As for the exact size of the Sentinels, they did vary a bit by model but 20 feet is a good average size. Most artists did not pay too much attention to scale when drawing them, as they seem to be as big as 50 feet in some pictures.

[Bullseye]

Could you imagine the shipping cost on this. I'm hoping Galactus size but i will buy either or.

[Daredevil]

If its only $80 more, I say BIGGER IS BETTER!!!

The problem with a Sentinel mini-statue is that not all x men were made as mini statues (unlike the FF), so the display is limited.


Besides, Sideshow is already doing a similar sized Sentinel statue/diorama.. so Bowen Designs should do something that trumps theirs.

[Daredevil]

At least can we make some special pal Giant Sentinel editions??

[Primal]

If Colossus is 7 ft. 5 in. Armored then the Sentinel on this cover is at least 50 feet tall

[CaptCracker]

Yes to 30"

[Daredevil]

So far. Who is missing besides Gambit?

The problem with the ministatues is that it is a closed line. No other X-men minis are coming out to accompany the Sentinel FS. I"m sure we are getting a Beast, Rogue, Iceman, Angel/Archangel, Professor X full size statues to go with the Giant Sentinel, which would make one HELL Of a display. Hell, we can even let Magneto join in the fray. How cool is that??

[OneOne78]

The BIGGER the BETTER

[Tetragrammaton]

Yes but when have the X-Men ever fought a Sentinel.

They usually travel in packs. I would rather have a pair of Galactus-size Sentinels (maybe even different models or paints) than one huge 30-inch Sentinel that may or may not be in any actual scale.

Just me though. I would pay for a 36-inch giant Iron Man armor from the What-IF story where he clobbers Magneto.

[Stef Jelos]

Perhaps a poll?

1) Same size as Galactus FS price around $175

2) In scale with mini-statues retail price around $200

3) In scale with FS X-Men statues- around 30 inches tall (not including the base) retail price between $225-$250 depending on the complexity of the base.

Why does the poll only have two options? The first option definitely does not work...what will display a Galactus size statue with? A Galactus size statue would be a "lone-wolf" in our collections. I truly do not understand why anyone would want a statue in Galactus scale.

30" in scale with full-size statues would be an awesome statue! Randy, don't listen to the naysayers...build it big!!! We lost out on full-size Galactus (I would have bought two: one for front lawn and one for the office!), don't do us wrong on the Sentinel.

[Ghost]

make it 30"tall!! That would be sweet!! Anyone that would have a hard time displaying it, will make room in the end! MAKE IT HUGE!!!


I agree! This could be a signature piece for Bowen!

[The Problem Solver]

I seriously hope this statue is made in scale with the x-men, 30" please:)

[carrillj]

The Sentinel should be in scale with the FS X-Men statues.

I think the Galactus statue was too small, but looks big only because of the tall base.

If the Sentinel can have a lower base, then it will only stand a little taller than Galactus, so people shouldn't worry about space issues.

I don't understand why people worry about FS heights when it comes to Bowen, but get all excited about Sideshow's large scale statues. :confused:

A FS Sentinel in scale with the X-Men statues get's my vote. :thumbs2:

[Stef Jelos]

If the 30" was a club exclusive, most if not all of these "small" people would change their vote.

[the fog]

Make it as big as possible, they will find room or not buy it. I have a room 22ft. long and a rounded cathedral ceiling 14ft. high, plenty of room. I was waiting to order the GIANT SIZED GALACTUS before that got cancelled. Make this THE piece to have. I don't care if it's 3 ft. or Taller, your going to have to pay more for the shipping anyhow you may as well get something BIG for your money. Can you just Imagine the GIANT SIZED SENTINEL with the FS X-MEN surrounding the base, HOLY $#!+ !!!! The giant sized galactus would have been incredible with the F.F. and Avengers looking up at it!! And the SS in his hand looking down, JM and J.

Bowen Designs will make the right decision, my two cents, Any Sentinel would be great either at 30"+ or 20"+, If there smaller I'll get a few, if it's big only one.

[Nightcrawler777]

If the 30" was a club exclusive, most if not all of these "small" people would change their vote.


I already said id buy which ever one he makes...
But i just have no clue were i would get a glass case that would house a 30 inch statue..

[Tetragrammaton]

I was hesitating before, but after hearing people's concerns about not having anything else in scale with it for display purposes, I now understand.

After the Sentinel I would love to see a Surtur statue in scale with the FS Thor statue and the eventual Odin piece. Seeing as how the Thor (6'6") stands 11 inches, I estimate the Surtur should be no smaller than... 141 feet!
Wow...while I'm sure a lot of you would just "make room in your collections for this unique signature piece" maybe in scale with the mini would be better.
Again, Thor (6'6") being at about six inches, would bring Surtur in at much more reasonable 77 feet and 2,000 tons.

I know I'll buy it.

I will just add that I look forward to the Sentinel by Bowen no matter what size it comes in (I just hope I can buy it).

[Sniper]

Man you guys are wack. I want the 30 incher. :buttrock:
hell yeah and I would buy 2!!!!!!!!!!! :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Confessor]

Haven't read the above posts, so sorry if this is duplicitous. But I'll go for the BIG one. I have no mini statues and ALL full sized statues (w/ a smattering of mini-busts). I want the one in scale with those and the 225 ish price is WAY worth it, baby!! Just look at this value BD is suggesting vs the 10" (at best) DC statues, priced at $200.

As for the already mini-scale Galactus statue....that's easy. Once the BIG BIG Sentinel statue sells out like crazy, and BD is wishing that the release numbers had been larger, THEN they can re-release an appropriately sized BIG BIG Galactus.....

[Tao]

Just to re-iterate....BIGGER IS BETTER!!!

Do a version with the Purple and a Club exclusive in the Blue....Sweet!

[Justin]

I will be getting 2 of these suckers as i did the busts and Randy i would love it if you made it as big as you can, Dont hold back man!

[cyberpunk12]

Like others have already posted, I think the 30 inch statue would appear most accurate displayed with the mini-statues. Something in scale with the full-sized statues would be monstrous. If I had to make the call, I'd have it be at least as tall as the Galactus statue.

You could put some extra effort into the base and sculpt (ala Perna's suggestion) a ruined School for Gifted Youngsters or just have some HeroClix sized X-figures you could mount around it. A Wolverine or Nightcrawler on the shoulder or leg... Cyclops or Colossus down below... just some thoughts. I'd probably have it stand alone scale-wise.

However it turns out, bring it on! I ask (as always) for some Byrne inspiration in the design.

[Perna]

In scale with the mini's please. Computer is still on the fritz. I'm using raw will power to make this post.

[DDura711]

Oh damn 47 to 47, straight down the middle.

Over 1,000 views and 100 posts... one way or the other, this one is going to be popular.

And the poll remains straight down the middle (feels like an election result)!

[BillyPilgrim]

I`m with you on this we need purple large statues. :)


Like a Full Sized HAWKEYE? :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[BillyPilgrim]

The FS statues are so much better looking than the minis (sorry) it seems as though you have to go with a bigger sculpt - early sentinals were in the 12-15 foot range why not go 1 and 1/2 the size of Colussus?

[steve0404]

i think in scale with full sizes would be awesome, but instead of 30" inches tall, maybe have it getting up off the ground like it was just knocked down. and has the typical outreached hand trying to blast a muti while supporting himself with other hand on ground. that would solve the whole dead space issue in the display case because it would be so tall.

my two cents.

I am not sure you read this thread correctly. There would be nothing mini about the Sentinel.

The question is; do we want an 18-inch or a 30-inch statue to be in scale with the mini-statue X-Men or the FS statue X-Men respectively.

If you did understand the question, please disregard this post. So sorry.

[marvelboi77]

Not that I'm getting this but your best bet from the way people complain about price is to go with the cheaper one.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I don't get the need for "in scale". If you want an in scale Wasp then you are looking at a 1" statue.:laugh:

[Grumpy]

Put me down for a 30" one. I've got the space and this statue would look absolutely awesome! Battle damaged would be my preference over a pristine "right outa the factory" one.

[Tao]

I think that whether you are into mini's or FS statues, the 30" is the way to go. That size will look right with all the statue, since there were various sized Sentinels over the years.

The 18" might looks a little small compared to the FS.

I understand that some people want to save on space, but the height of shelves can be adjusted. You just have to decide whether or not to give up the space for this statue.

I think the larger, and pricier model is the way to go. BD needs to continue to "raise the bar" for manufactures and giving a statue that is 3X the height of a DC Direct for about $25 - $50 more clearly will show them that they have to rethink their approach.

BIGGER IS BETTER :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Collection King 13]

I say since the poll is so close release BOTH although I did vote for the Full Size scale... Limit each to 1000 or 1500 and let the collector decide which one they want to buy!

Put me down for a 30" one. I've got the space and this statue would look absolutely awesome! Battle damaged would be my preference over a pristine "right outa the factory" one.
And think how easy it would be to paint it. :laugh:

[Collection King 13]

No way... It would satisfy both sides... Make a Mini Scale and a Full Scale... Collectors would love it!

[lord odin]

If the big one is made jesse were would you display it I remember you saying you had issues with space.

[The Watcher]

OK. I fold.

Why not make Master-Mold?

[Jesse321]

If the big one is made jesse were would you display it I remember you saying you had issues with space.Yes I do, I'm buying a new computer desk with a file cabinet that's already incorporated into it. Which means I can get rid of my filing cabinet and put in a shelf there, so I guess it would go there.

[BillyPilgrim]

I am not sure you read this thread correctly. There would be nothing mini about the Sentinel.

The question is; do we want an 18-inch or a 30-inch statue to be in scale with the mini-statue X-Men or the FS statue X-Men respectively.

If you did understand the question, please disregard this post. So sorry.


I got the question - my point was that I don't like the minis so I'd want a Sentinel in scale with the FS statues - Early Sentinels weren't 80 feet tall but rather 12-15 ft depending on the artist. So A FS Sentinel from that era would be 1 and 1/2 the size of the Collossus FS

Gotcha!

They could always do a 30-inch Master Mold!

Oh, and aren't polls a great way for deciding a clear path to pursue.

[Collection King 13]

Maybe we should start a new poll and put a BOTH option in there... :eplus2:

[Silver Surfer]

I don't get the need for "in scale". If you want an in scale Wasp then you are looking at a 1" statue.:laugh:

Well said!

[Jesse321]

Oh, and aren't polls a great way for deciding a clear path to pursue.Taking into consideration that this poll is split almost down the middle ... NO !! :laugh:

[Collection King 13]

Make BOTH! :D

[Daredevil]

wow 78- 78 votes. Amazing. We need to make BOTH!!! They are gonna be visually appealing and put Bowen Designs even further up the ladder from the rest, especially with Sideshow joining the fray

[Big Dave]

I have tied it again. 30 inch one for me!

[the fog]

A Sentinel vaporizing Wolverine, Ultimately, would be the best, action pose and we have enough busts and statues of Logan, skeletal remains and lots of skulls, dead muties everywhere. Who cares how big, just some adamantium dust for me, lots of wanted posters, maybe a set of cyclops' quartz visor crushed. Days of future past.
Some battle damage to the sentinel for a variant. One all nice and shiny, the other with the crap knocked out of it, claw scratches, eyebeam blast marks all over, sweet.

[DDura711]

Wow, again dead center 78 to 78.

[Collection King 13]

BOTH need to be done! :buttrock:

[Daredevil]

But please spell it correctly as SentinEls. E not A

[the fog]

Happy?

[Tetragrammaton]

I finally figured it out.

Make the economy Mark V Sentinel 18 inches (in blue) and the more capable Mark II (in purple) the 30-incher (they just don't make anything like they used to)!

This way, people can display their mini X-Men with the Mark V, their FS X-Men with the Mark II, and their Days of Future Past customs with the Mark II (Omega Hunter-Killer Bowen CC Exclusive).

Everyone wins (except for the X-Men, of course)!

Oh and...
But please spell it correctly as SentinEls. E not A

If Mr. Bowen wants to spell it with three W's and a silent Q, we let him.

[Beavis]

I voted for a Sentinel the same size as the Galactus due to my space limitations. However, I would buy either – this statue will be to cool to pass up. :buttrock:

[Garrett]

Same size as the Galactus as it will go on the lowed of my shelves and arch the top, it would nicly match the Galactus at the other end of the shelf.

Whats more if the taller I would have no where to display it.

[Daredevil]

Sentinels can come in all kinds of sizes, as we saw in New X-men with Morrison as the writer.. but it would be cool if we have them as the original giant size robots.

[cap70]

Make it huge! :D

[OneOne78]

Wow, again dead center 78 to 78.
Make that 82 to 82. I still say it should be 30" :buttrock:

[XSE]

This has to be to scale with the FS line....not like Galactus with the mini statues.....i would pay out 300-350 to get an in scale FS sentinel

[OneOne78]

I'm with you on that :buttrock:

[Tao]

Whatever the price...I am in.

[Daredevil]

89-83 baby!!

[lord odin]

One problem with this poll say for instance the big one wins out how many people that voted for the small one would buy it and the other way around?

[sleepindeath]

I would love a full size sentinel statue. I say bring it on.

[Tetragrammaton]

I would go no higher than $300.00 including shipping for the 30-incher. That's $10 per inch!

[Daywalker]

One problem with this poll say for instance the big one wins out how many people that voted for the small one would buy it and the other way around?
good point - i would guess anyone who wants the bigger one would buy the smaller version - and the price difference isnt SO great that the ppl voting for the smaller one wouldnt buy the larger, there prob would be some but i would imagine many would still buy it

[Tattoo-X]

I think I said (wrote) this earlier, I'd only buy one if it's in scall with the minis.
Wonder how many others feel this way.
I'm a mini completist, and it would make a cool looking display.
Not necessarily a Sentinel fan, and the price really makes up my mind for not getting the larger one.

[lord odin]

good point - i would guess anyone who wants the bigger one would buy the smaller version - and the price difference isnt SO great that the ppl voting for the smaller one wouldnt buy the larger, there prob would be some but i would imagine many would still buy it
Also good points but the price difference isn`t the only problem some people voted small because they have no place to display the big one.

[Collection King 13]

I say make BOTH!!! Limit each to 1500.... But if only one can be done then it should be the Full Size!!! :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Endless Wake]

I say make BOTH!!! Limit each to 1500.... But if only one can be done then it should be the Full Size!!! :buttrock: :buttrock:

FULL SIZE

FULL SIZE !!

I got over my spacing problem ... at least for this piece.:eplus2:

[ickwinzs]

really this one needs to be big!! Galactus went great with the minis, now lets see a big one!!

[Sniper]

I would buy both of them!!!!

[Tetragrammaton]

I don't like this issue of X-Men because the Sentinel is not in scale with the FS Professor X on the cover.

[Ghost]

If there was ever reason to make two, then I would have liked for each to be different. Don't make 2 and just have them at different sizes. Change them up a bit at least. But that's if both are made. I really really want the BIG ONE!!!!

I agree one could be battle damaged and the other could be a different model and series.

[Garrett]

One problem with this poll say for instance the big one wins out how many people that voted for the small one would buy it and the other way around?
Do not think I would buy the FS one as I would have nowhere to display it and and at it would cost more than the mini. I would lose out both ways.

[Collection King 13]

I don't like this issue of X-Men because the Sentinel is not in scale with the FS Professor X on the cover.
Ummmm... Thats the 1st Sentinel which was only 12-15 feet tall...

[Tao]

I measured out 30" on my shelves and it is workable. Just have to move some things around.

I really am hoping that BD decided on the 30" version. I put Galactus with the FS X-men and it just doesn't work like I want it to.

[Collection King 13]

Has a decision been reached?

[wizard-comics]

Has a decision been reached?


yes, we all disagreed

[matthewm]

Maybe both size can be a solution

[Silver Surfer]

IMO, if Randy goes with the 30" size I think he will be less likley to get all those who wanted the the mini scale on board due to it's higher cost and much larger size.

However, if he goes with the mini scale, then I think he will still get the majority of those who wanted the 30" buying it beacuse it will still be a FS statue.

[lord odin]

Maybe both size can be a solution
I think that`s the only solution.
This isn`t just some regular size statue we`re talking about making one the same size as BD biggest statue and then topping that with an even bigger one these are not as easy to display as other statues.
Now I don`t really care one way or another but if it were up to me I would release both versions in limited quantities thereby everyone is happy except of course the full size completists. And not just big sentinal and mini me but make them really stand out from one another like one with battle damage or different model or base.

[OneOne78]

:eplus2: 30" nuff said :eplus2:

No sarcasim or exaggeration in the question... (or in the answers please)

What is the absolute largest Bowen should ever try to make a statue?

30 inches ?

60 inches ?

Both!!!!!

[Bullseye]

Is it viable to do both?

Bump

Randy......??

[Tetragrammaton]

Yeah first you ask us all these questions and then...

forget it. I can't do it even as a joke.

[Wolverine1]

Has anyone heard anything? I want the Sentinel to be huge around 30', if not how about a Master Mold exclusive?

[Collection King 13]

I say do BOTH!!!! :D

[randy bowen]

Yes. Sculpture is almost complete. Should have photos of the painted piece in about three weeks. It's freakin' huge! :p

I'm guessing large scale if he's saying it's "huge".

[OneOne78]

It has to be the LARGE

hahaha...

yea what he said...lol... :laugh:

[DDura711]

114 to 110 is a real close vote.
Could go either way I'm guessing.
The 30" would be to big when you think about it, but then when you think about it again that would look real bad ass this giant towering over everything. Just gotta make the base the mansion or at least enought to notice it's the mansion.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I guess scale in comparison to Galactus isn't important?

[Wolverine1]

How big would the base be?

[carrillj]

I guess scale in comparison to Galactus isn't important?

I don't think it's important. Galactus was supposed to be in scale with the Fantastic Four mini statues. Sentinel should be in scale with the X-Men full-size statues. I'm glad it's going to be huge.

[CaptCracker]

If made, how much will this run......$250ish?

[lord odin]

At least one is being made.

[Tao]

I guess scale in comparison to Galactus isn't important?
Galactus is a mini statue. If the Sentinel is mini then yes, it should be a factor.

If it is a FS, then it is a different line so scale should be relative to the FS.

I really hope it is FS. :buttrock:

[Bullseye]

At least one is being made.

I know :rolleyes2 Plus theres feedback. :rolleyes2

[Nightcrawler777]

I just hope its a Nice Sculpt..

I would prefer one in Galactus Scale but if it doesnt look good im not going to buy it in any scale...

[OneOne78]

I guess scale in comparison to Galactus isn't important?
I say no. Galactus was made in scale to go with the mini-statues not FS.

[XSE]

Bring on the in scale with the FS x-men sentinel......that would be bad a$$!!!!

[heirtoasguard]

while I agree that a FS Sentinal would be great but a FS would not be fair. to have mini-scale Galactus and then a FS Sentinal that is taller than Galactus, it just doesn't look right. if they're the same height, I say they both should be mini-scale.

[Daywalker]

what about a life size edtion ???? :eplus2:

[Perna]

Standing in the ruins of the Xaviers School for the Gifted, dammit!!!!!! :D

I heard the prototype they made was so massive it collapsed in on itself and sunk to the center of the Earth! The next one will be 10% smaller.

[MTR001]

20 to 25 feet tall.

[Capt. America]

I'm ready for it to show up on Bowen's site for order

[Daredevil]

20 feet but with BIG Hands

[claws181]

Randy, I'm soooooo ready for these!!!!!!!!!!!

[speedracer]

HUGE!!!

[riderV3]

man.....no more space for him :banghead: , MB works just fine for me....

[Elessar]

I chose option #1. Imagine a 30" Sentinel, in-scale with the other FS statues. If it does get made, it'll probably be one of the biggest statues ever made. :)

[claws181]

This really needs to be at least 30"!!!! The one you showed us in the Sneak Peaks look to be the perfect height!

I'm planning on buying 2 of these, Randy!

[Mastermold]

Randy, how about a Mastermold variant? :buttrock:

[Ink]

in scale

let's just get a regular sentinel out first

[Daredevil]

when will these monsters be available?

[MIMIC]

what about a Tri-sentinel:buttrock:

[rilynil]

I'll certainly get one. Sentinels simply rule.

[speedracer]

does anybody have any news yet..=)

[ilas]

I say in scale w/ FS X statues approx 30" retail approx. 225-250. It is worth the money for the size.

My only question is how many versions are there to be? Weren't there 3 the last time this topic was up?

At 30" tall, $225 to $250 would be a one hell of a good price.
