Marvel Legends: Sentinel Series
How many of you got these babies?
I just did: Cyclops, Black Panther and (yet another one) first appearance Spidey. My friend and I have been splitting ML series the past few rounds. We're not completists but coincidentally our favourite characters are not the same, making the virtual 50-50 split very nice and neat! I got Galactus the last time, so this round the Sentinel goes to him.
Reviews:
Cyclops:
Cyclops got some criticism on some sites but he's my favourite X-Man and brings me back to when I was between 9 and 13 when I loved the X-Men the most! It's not perfect: Captain America gloves, a thin belt, and that awful dirty wash effect. But it's freakin' Byrne/****rum Cyclops!!!
Black Panther:
Nice, but the sculpt is reminiscent of McFarlane. I'd prefer a classic BP but hey, my ML Avengers are assembling.
FA Spidey:
Ain't a big deal--the webs attach around his neck, waist and wrists, making it look like he is wearing a shawl! Yucks.
I didn't get the otehrs but Omega Red is clearly the best of the lot. Great sculpt!
