Stellar likeness.

Both of these have good likenesses, but both also look about ten years too old in most of these photos.

Somebody who uses big fancy words to make himself sound smart is an ineffective communicator and not as smart as he thinks he is.

They changed Peggy's hair for episode 9, so this isn't accurate. Paint job on the Shield should be the same as the standard version, too.
Also, I think you mean "early 2022," @JayC1 -

I don't think that's Hasbro. I think the reviewer painted up an armored Daredevil and popped the prime sentinel head on it.
Correct. He says exactly that in the first minute of the review.

Only if you believe they weren't lying. 'Cause between over 20 years of making these figures, never mind seeing what toybiz did when they had the license, and just flat out ignoring the team's own personal years of reading Marvel comics, there's no way to blame this sloppiness on the notion that Hasbro uses a Google search as "regular practice" to produce this line.
What, did some google image show them how to eff up the Silver Centurion armor too? Was it google that told them Salma Hayek now has the body of some gangly pre-teen?
Even if there were some image that showed the SC armor like that, they know that's not how its been shown in the comics. Any comic fan that has even the slightest knowledge of Dr. Strange, knows full well the costume they've shown is wrong. That Quicksilver they puked up, are you kidding me? Take the head off the costumed body, you have no idea who that is. Google search, my @$$.....
Uh-uh, no sale. It comes down to either lazy incompetence or deliberate "tweaks". Buy the figure that's almost right, and then buy it again, when they do it correctly down the road.
You know, I don't believe they were lying, but I also don't believe it was the entire truth, either. Google has no pictures of Karima with caucasian skin and light brown hair, and it doesn't explain those other things you mentioned. I, however, would not be at all surprised if using Google has become a more regular practice than going to actual artwork straight from the comics (or at least Marvel Unlimited). Why do ten minutes of research when you can do five? 🙄 One could call this lazy incompetence and get no argument from me, and there's surely other $#!@, too that goes into these boneheaded design choices: one of those "deliberate tweaks" would surely include Bobby Vala (or possibly Dwight?) deciding Kingpin just didn't look right unless he scaled out to about 7 1/2" feet tall.

But... to accept that theory about googling.. you’d have to discount the box art team got it right
It's not a theory. They told Boog Nice that's how the pigtails head for Omega Sentinel got whitewashed when he asked about it. It's clearly a regular practice.

My Sentinel has been stuck in Georgia for three days?? WTF FEDex?!?
some are coming in damaged? Wow.. how can that happen for the cost of these things? Wonder if a Hasbro has replacements?
Dang now I’m concerned
There's probably a few more out there, but so far, mine is the only one I'm aware of with any genuine damage. A bunch of them have loose knees, which can be fixed by popping off the cap things (not as easy as some guys make it look) and tightening the screws.

Check to see what Hasbro's exchange policy is and get a new one?
First thing I thought of. Drafting an email tonight to send Monday.

My Sentinel has a super loose finger (no idea how to tighten that) and a big scratch on his chest. Not happy.

Totally agree. KP shoulda been a full head shorter. Same goes for the Thing. Both were over scaled.
Exactly. Kingpin should have been the size of that Thing figure, and the Thing should have been a little bit shorter than the Bucky Cap-based figures.

I will never stop beating this drum: The Kingpin figure(s) should not scale out to 7 1/2" tall. I love the figure by itself, but he looks too damn big with the other Spiderman and Daredevil characters. He should be the same height as Tombstone. Which reminds me...Tombstone is too short. Both of them should be about as tall as the "Jim Lee" Cable. Both should be all new. And if they made Tombstone in a suit, Hasbro could a tall suited body to work with.

Congratulation, Air-Walker.

I do not like how loose some of the joints on his Sentinel seem to be. Do not like it at all.

I'm not going to see it in theaters but I would have paid $30 to watch at home this weekend. Instead I'll watch it for no extra money in 45 days or so.
Same.
Disney tried to change things up, and it sounds like they probably shouldn't have.0 -

I just checked the Wikia and the AoA Creed is shorter but heavier, he's 6'4 but 401lbs, while the 616 is 6'6 and 275lbs...
Yeah, Hasbro hasn't been very good with scale on a number of characters.

I don't think any of these are changed since the last time I did one of these.
1. Enigma
2. Multiple Man (X-Factor Investigations)
3. Scourge of the Underworld (classic)
4. Agent Carter (red hat and blue dress from TV show)
5. Squirrel Girl (US Avengers)

Yes Dan Yun is joining a live-stream late tonite but I would surely hope they didn't waste an entire day so they could reveal it there. Sure reveal it during the day and then talk about in more detail in a live-stream, but with only a couple days left in the campaign I really hope thats not why they havent revealed it yet.
I would hope that, too, and @Jmacq1 is right that doing that could be a potential momentum killer, but can we honestly say that every decision the Marvel team has made for this Haslab campaign has made total sense?

Hopefully once I wake up there is more news. I'm thinking they didn't expect Surfer to be unlocked this fast so they are getting the announcement set up now
Dan Yun has an interview/chat with Unparalleled Universe tonight. Maybe he'll make the announcement there.

Given more time to process today's reveals, I'm wondering what the chances are that we'll get a "Regenesis" Sinister based on Morlun's body.

They didn't get her eye makeup quite right. The eyebrows are also a bit too neat.
