Among HasLabs stalk...

So HasLabs just unveiled their newest item and it's a two foot tall Sentinel with Bastion ML. Which is cool, but nothing I need for $350. But I might be in the minority because it's already at 50% of the goal needed in one day. First, my wife would murder me for spending that much, and a Sentinel is like Pringles, you can't just eat one, or, have one, in this case. But it's pretty cool to look at.

Now if this is two feet, Galactus better be three feet or more! Put a couple Heralds with him like Air-Walker, Nova, Firelord, and I would seriously consider it. But a Sentinel? Just one. Man, too rich for my blood. Still feast your eyes, mortals!

It has been officially backed...currently sitting at 7,180

As a result, Hasbro unveiled an exclusive Mastermold head sculpt for this bad boy!

I’m with you in regards to not getting this guy; awesome as he is. I have the BAF and Marvel Universe ones so I’m good with those; besides, I barely have room for them much less this one too. I am looking forward to seeing what else is shown for the 8,000 level.

Maybe like a Bolivar Trask or something? Not sure what else they could do. Nimrod is already a BAF in the works. Maybe giant fire blasts for his hands like the Days of Futures Past cover? Should be interesting.

One giant Master Mold is more enticing than a Sentinel for me. Can always use the old ToyBiz Sentinels alongside him, and people seem to be selling them now, lol. I guess if you can sell one fore $100+ you're already a quarter way toward paying for this guy. Still, $350 is a lot to rationalize. Now if it were Galactus, I could tell myself he's a must and you only need one anyway.

That's not bad. If you did buy three of these then you'd have a Master Mold and two different Sentinels. If I bought three of these my wife would duct tape the boxes together for me to live in.

9,000 reached, new female Bastion figure. I assume that's a real thing, the last decade or so of X-men comics were tough to stick with. If they keep adding lot's of stuff, I just might get tempted. More heads? Meh. More figures? Maybe.

Too rich for my blood, but it's impressive just how many people they're getting signed up for this thing. They've almost doubled their backer target!

I'm struggling to think of what I would consider spending money in the same ballpark on. Probably a really elaborate playset, like a D&D Tomb of Horrors? That NECA Jaws is gonna be pretty expensive, but I think it'll probably top out under $200. Or at least under $350.
