Good to hear honest reviews about the statue, i think its strength really shows if the set is complete, otherwise on its own, its flaws would show,..
$200 off! 😲 You rock! Totally agree about the paint statements. I freaked out when I saw the back of the sentinel's head, then I realized that part wasn't visible once the head was in.
Base details and rust are minor issues and hardly a factor in this amazing piece since design is based on the Animated cartoon and comics. This along with Sentinel 1 & 3 and proximity pieces together are unmatched so glad you came to your senses to continue going down this rabbit hole.
I have to disagree about the base. Diorama 1 had an awesome base. Each one after seemed to decline in detail, creativity, and sculpt. The base on this was not executed as good as possible. Iron Studios has done much better work, they just lack consistency.
Glad you are like these Iron Studios Sentinel pieces more MR X. Once you see them all together with the proximity pieces, then you can say it's got the X Factor.
I’m glad you came around on these statues! All together they make for a great display. Great review as always!
Great video as always👍 I always look forward to guessing when you're going to say *that's what see said * 🤣
I definitely think it looks like he's controlling The Sentinel and juggernaut and Gambit are fighting. I think that part of it looks cool like you said it's just it goes back to the details and then if you're going to go this route is huge rabbit-hole you have to go down so you could possibly be in like you said at $10,000 which is crazy. We all think the prime 1 Studios diorama of Godzilla and King Kong is a crazy price but I would much rather have that than all of these X-Men. I actually got to see number 3 at a comic book store in Orlando and it looks pretty cool I think definitely from a step or two away it's just a lot of money to complete the set.
Amazing statue and great video as always!
These pieces are great in concept but too bad they dropped the ball on other things. Good luck on the hunt for #1. Do a review with all three when you get it.
I bought sentinel 1 and 2 off of sideshow seconds and have no regrets! I added the Nightcrawler companion piece to sentinel #2 along with Colossus and Deadpool and it makes #2 more of a stand out piece! Really looking to add on more in the future!
Agreed with everything you said. Thanks for the video Mr.X.
Kinda off the subject, side show did the exact same thing to me. No email about it arriving soon or even that it had shipped. I just happened to be looking through my orders one day and it said an item had been shipped, not a single email during that whole process.. odd.
Just letting you know that Gambit is not fighting the Jug. We have complained that gambit is not throwing his cards at Jug as it's off angle, but now if you think about it, he is actually throwing his cards at sentinel #3.
We currently have 1 and 2. Waiting on number 3 to come in. As a whole I feel they are going to be great conceptually. I’m excited to get more of the side pieces too. Waiting on nightcrawler right now!
I now have them all together and it's pretty phenomenal.
I agree with the rust being too much, but overall these are awesome and really nostalgic!
I think Iron Studios has an obsession with that dirt/ rust effect. It's too much.
I think Iron Studios has an obsession with that dirt/ rust effect. It's too much.
These are all really Amazing! I only wish I had room for all 3 Sentinels along with all the proximaty pieces. Great review and as Good as these are I like how you still pointed out the areas that are lacking. Regardless I still think overall these are pretty incredible, specially for 1/10 scale.
that magneto portrait tho 🙃 but really, the concept of these pieces is unrivaled.
I got 1 and 2 and love them. Really captures the 90s cartoon and comics.
8:39 Mr. X has a keen eye for a nice set of knockers! It's all about the sculpt.
#missedopportunity
I love the idea behind all the Iron Studio smaller statues but the quality just isnt there. But they all would look really cool from 3 ft away.
That opening is hilarious! I'm surprised you got number 2.
Well Mr. X, most people go up in order count 1,2,3. Leave it up to you to go against the norm and get these on the count down 3,2,1. That's ok but it might cost you a little bit more money for it. Those sentinel diorama pieces are really nice but the price is what kills it for me. So it is a definite pass for me, yet congratulations on the purchase. I feel that Iron studios are concentrated on making the 1/10 proximity pieces the best as possible but they didn't put as much effort into the construction of the base where the sentinel's are demolishing the mansion. Sideshow has made a 1/10 Quick Silver piece. I am not sure that it belongs to the Sentinel's diorama but it would look awesome on the this #2 you just got along with his father. Anyway Mr. X. Congrats on getting this enormous project and puzzle that I am sure will bring you much joy every time you see it.
Thanks for the review. I had been considering buying this piece.
I don't know if it's lighting or what but I feel like the paint app was better on the base on other reviews I've seen. Some real nice points on it, but I agree, Magneto's face is a bit rough. willing to bet it was a budget/time issue because the majority of these pieces are phenomenal.
I, like you, was not going to get #2. But Wife didn’t understand why I wasn’t getting the whole diorama, and that her favorite character is Juggs. So I got a fantastic deal for #2 ($1200 shipped). And while I agree with most of your critique, I also understand that it is based of the cartoon from back in the day. And to that, it’s pretty accurate.
I think magneto is just tearing his helmet apart. But damn you just gave it a whole other story line. Shit does look they they are all battling. I don’t have these wish I did but I think once you get 1 and have them all together your going to love the display of them. Just seeing pictures of them all together, I think the 3 together makes this one of the best statues combinations.
This and the Kong vs Godzilla from P1.
Although i dont collect the Xmen line i still think this is a master piece for a huge Xmen fan.
So glad you got these. Yes, there's plenty of flaws, but overall they look amazing. I didn't get into the proximity pieces and kinda wish I would have.
Now I'm hunting down the sold out ones.
I refuse to get proxomity pieces. That's too realty, and I'm not a big enough fan of the 1/10 scale. I just like how these are attached to the Sentinel, but standalone pieces, I only got two: Scarlet Witch and Havok.
Going to look great when you get the third plus the proximity. If you had unlimited room how would you display it all to get the maximum impact?
Wait for the next few videos and you’ll see.
I had the same concerns. But now I feel exactly the same as you. Bummed I didn't pull the trigger on all 3
My local shop still has a sentinel n.1 but it is in Thailand. (You can check it out online, Toytopia) If you can't find it anywhere else, i could see about getting it for you. I can imagine shipping may be expensive and it is currently valued at around 59000 thai baht roughly 1,750 us dollars for the piece. I hope you find it in the states but if not i would be happy to help Mr X. :)
I really appreciate it man. The other night I didn't go to bed at all... and I was lucky because at 2am I found one for retail.
I agree, as a stand alone piece it doesn't get the X-Factor, but if you all the other pieces... man, it can't get more incredible then this
Awesome piece love the juggernaut there's alot going on this line is a great line can't wait to see them all together
Can’t wait to see the set together
Mr Xtreme I really like how you rate your statues.This X-Men piece is so Cool.
I have #1 and #3 . For me those 2 sentinels are the most important because of the 2 exclusive characters you get , Shadow Cat and Jubilee. They can not be replaced. Like you i already have about 12 proximity statues for it and about 7 on PO. Ill pick this up later. Got my eye on 1/3 scale Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman from darkside collectibles. That unmasked portrait is killin it man. Anyways very very cool 😎 thanks. I would be willing to trade you sentinal 1 diaroma for the uncaped version of curse of the spawn i think you have 2. I actually like that straight bone version better.
lol. That is a prototype and I did end up getting #1 after filming this.
I really love your videos .fantastic content
Much appreciated.
I’m still amazed that Iron Studios canceled your order three times but shipped and charged you for the 3rd diorama without any notification.
This dio looks ok but would look better if they made some proximity pieces that go with this piece since there’s so few characters.
Sideshow did the #3. But crazy still
Looking forward to when you have this all put together
Out of the three I feel this would be my pick out of the three for a stand alone
yes the concept on them is so good but can probably be hard to paint such small statues.
I'm looking forward to the complete diorama video :D
I love how the display is it shows the scale of them in way.
Nice lighting on this review.
Ready for the next room tour, see how you set all these giant statues up. Must see u tube video
Looks great!! Maybe they wanted it to look like X-men from the cartoons we grew up with. Maybe 😬
Might be off topic but I can't wait to see who's cast as the New X-Men. See what kind of quality piece's come out of that.
Jackman will be so hard to replace.
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX I agree 💯
Hard to pay attention when they badass venomized hulk is right behind 🤣.. anyways those sentinel pieces are sweet. Different team members / characters locked in a battle scene. Those would be cool to collect.
That's a great story Mr. X just by looking at the diorama. The diorama looks great and dynamic. Paint job not too good though. 🤔
I got 1 and 2 and am currently waiting for 3. I think the paint is pretty crappy but couldn’t agree more about the scull of it. To be honest I pray 3 saves everything with iceman.
I have only #1, not planning to buy 2 or 3, but I find the paint on #1 very good. When you say the paint is pretty crappy do you mean on #2 or also #1?
@@WarriorBlood777 for me the paint on the sentinels are all pretty good and even the 1/10 characters are ok. It’s the base that’s ruined for me. Like on number one, the smoke/dust was very sloppy and I hated the floor boards on number one as well. It looks like bamboo. However at the same time I love how they put the rim and band joists on the flooring that was a nice touch. Majority of my issues are base related. Number 3 is definitely the nicest
I'm not shocked by their quality. It's sad because I saw all three of the pieces at the 2020 international toy fair and when they had them out there they looked phenomenal. Unfortunately that didn't translate to what everyone else got.
Great piece mate 👍 one of them statues that's so open to interpretation defo looks to me like magneto is manipulating the sentinel IMO lol
Bah I can’t bring myself to get anything Iron Studios despite how much I’ve loved some of their character concepts. I’ve never looked at an Iron Studios piece up close and not been disappointed by details or features that are just to easy to have done properly.
The rust is case in point, why would a state of the art machine rust let alone rust that much. Then the lack of any decent detail on the wires.
Like you said “Hit and Miss”. Every Iron Studios piece I’ve had the chance to see directly were exactly that, hit and miss.
Not really a fan of Iron studios, but these sentinel dios are growing on me. I think by next year they will have every Xmen character made.
How do you not get the one you want, yet get charged and sent a different one??
Crazy right?
I would have liked it if they all locked together & made one giant piece, that would have been cool. That would have made it a 5 star, but now it’s only a 4 star.
True indeed need a sentinel to go with my 1/4 who towers them and paint has to be dynamic as Fk
What is sideshow seconds?
Seconds.sideshow.com
If I had one of them then I'd have to get all three, flaws or not. But I don't have space for them so no restraint needed lol
That’s really cool X-men is my favorite team in marvel
I love your review, because I was feeling silly for buying this statue since there are only three characters, but I feel a little better now. But i agree with all your complaints. The base is trash compared to the first one. It looks plastic.
Love the sentinel.line
I heard the story is magneto is attacking the X-Men with the sentinel, but that seems contrary to magneto's hatred of the mutants. But Magneto's face, Juggernaut's size, and Gambit's metallic staff- which I think is real metal, because I accidentally dropped it, and it put a dent on my floor! 😳😲😆
Love these statues!
One day I’d like to have this whole dio… one day lol
Love ur channel!!!
Much appreciated.
Another great show.
Wow thought this was the weakest out of the line but looking at the review def feeling it alot more
Awesome edition
Some general thoughts:
1. Magneto’s face does look really bad. Too bad even the helmet one isn’t great. With it being the highest piece, there’s no real hiding the oof.
2. The base sculpt & paint job doesn’t seem to match the proximity pieces. I can handle plastic-looking bases if the characters were also done that way. At least then it would be uniform (and hopefully cost less). But I saw photos of this piece elsewhere, and the tacky appearance of the base immediately jumped out. It’s almost looks like they started working on the base while watching the cartoon, sculpting and painting accordingly, only to realize once they got to the characters that it was supposed to be more lifelike.
3. All that said, overall I think it looks good. I’m biased because I’m a bit of a 90’s X-Men fanatic. It looks like each proximity piece is sold at an average of $180, give or take. If we say all three are worth it, that leaves the Sentinel & base around a $760. Is that worth it? I don’t know. Only because of the good looking prox pieces it comes with, I think.
4. I’ve seen a bunch of other 1/10 pieces that seem to go with these statues. Is there some specific grand layout for one massive diorama? Or are all the non-attached proximity pieces meant to be placed wherever?
Wherever I think and to me that's what makes it cool.
Iron Studios gives three examples for setups in their page, but you can really mix and match the layout as desired. In my opinion the ideal would be a multi levelled centerpiece to be able to move all the way around.
I agree that #2 is prob the weakest of the dioramas but knowing how all 3 look together i can forgive it. Wish i had the space for this set but looking forward to seeing the complete setup in your collection.
I OVERALL LIKE THE STATUE BUT I ONLY PURCHASED THE GAMBIT CAUSE I NEEDE ONE MISSED OUT GETTING ALL THE OTHERS THAT CAME OUT NAD I NEEDED ONE FOR MY COLLECTION
Magento seems to be inconsistent seen a lot of pictures where he his portrait looks anywhere from horrible to ok. Not just sentinel 2 dio but the individual piece as well.
A nice piece but i prefer juggernaut and gambit as proximity pieces.
Best channel ever
Looks pretty good 👏😎
Man, you went from "I don't want any" to "I want them all"......sheesh. :)
I’m very fickle.
Cool review and good luck finding Sentinel 1, the raping already started. ✌🏾
Already found and review is posted to members.
They should hire some of those Warhammer painters. Now they could put a paint job on small figures...
Still pretty cool even with the flaws
I’m banned by the ball and chain from getting dioramas after getting the jla vs darkseid 😂
Desk gets bigger pants get tighter?
I saw that one on seconds, almost pulled the trigger, glad I didn’t.
These are so cool.
i like the stand alone Blob
Now you just need #1!
Already got it. Review soon.
I'm getting it bit by bit
Not a fan of these as the sentinel looks like a toy but I would love to see your display with all three and all the proximity xmen pieces
Cool piece but that Magneto portrait really is laughable. Can’t believe they thought that was a switch out someone would actually use. His positioning above the sculpt is great. Price is a little heavy.
Laughable is the best descriptive term for sure.
All together I think they will look amazing but as a stand alone it just doesn't really hold up
Still pretty dope.
These are super cool, but I decided to skip them . Might still get Archangel
Hey Mr x I've see all these ya there pretty cool but to big and to expensive for me xongrats!!
On this piece juggernaut seems to take over the base is ok I like the first on better still not a bad piece
I'm not a fan of this but they are x-men so I do think it's cool I like the idea of them but I don't think there done good enough but I could be wrong iv never seen one in person
*_It needs some glazes, inks, oil washes. Looks half-done. -3/5 for paint job_*
I never liked any of the sentinels from the start, think it is overpriced for the quality you get. It was only the ambitious idea of these statues that attracts buyers.
Youre gonna need an extra house next
Pretty sure gambit is gonna lose to magneto, not sure if he’d lose to juggernaut. Can gambit use his power on juggernauts helmet? If so then I’d say gambit had a chance otherwise 💀
im a sucker for those trash can head looking sentinels for the 90s cartoon
