I must admit I had a few issues with mine also

1) The pegs dont go all the way down like yours, but from what I can tell this is the design?

2) The scale is off from Banshee and Cable in the Sentinel set

3) The Sentinels hand is a different color from the first two pieces

4) As you can see in my pics, the base came with multiple large clumps of dried paint that was seemingly overapplied and left to run down the front of the base and dry in a lump on the bottom

1) The pegs don't go all the way in on any of them, look at the box art, that's how it's supposed to be.

2) Do you mean the scale of Magneto himself? The hand is the exact same had which was used for Banshee but flipped and changed.

3) Well sentinels have had ranging colours over the years and its the same as the preview pics from months ago so i don't have any problem with that.

4) The over run is on all of them, its supposed to be leaking from the pipes and dripping down the base, i love that effect.

It looks even better with Banshee and Cable by him! I can't wait for more Sentinel bases.

This is a cool pic, shame about the different colour hands. And the pegs are a big issue.

Great looking piece, congrats to you who own it!!

Looking closer at the pegs, aren't they meant to be like that to give the effect of Magneto hovering/flying above the hand?

1) That's why I said "from what I can tel that is the design"

2)Yes, Magneto himself is much larger to the naked eye than either Banshee or Cable

3)All characters can be proven to have had color changes over the years, but when you're talking about an opposing hand to the only other two previous Sentinel base releases by Bowen thus far, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the colors would match for this trio across the board?

4)Yep, this was pointed out to me elsewhere and it's exactly right. My only wish was that the "leakage" effect was in a different color or technique to make it clearer, but it's a neat feature

my thoughts on this is the paints are great, and the sculpt is nice. The cape is over the top and takes up a lot of real-estate.
I think koto mags has better sculpt but this has the extreme.

DGK, did you paint your pegs black? It sure looks like it. I was just mentioning in the other Mags thread how I'd want to do that if I was picking this up.
