Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

I'm trying to do this and it's not working. Do I have to select a certain spot?

You might have to cycle the F Find result for stocklevel. See if it's the second or third result

I can find it directly in the browser in Chrome, but on Firefox the ctrl+F doesn't get me to the right spot - I have to paste the code into notepad and search there to find it.

I'm in Chrome and all I see is the regular address bar info. If I copy it out and paste it elsewhere, it's the same string. It's just this: https://www.hasbropulse.com/product...ntinel/G06525L00?cgid=marvel-studios-x-men-97

Ugh, ordered a second...I hate myself.

But these did turn out really nice, so I think I would regret not having more than one.

Well the stocklevel number just changed significantly - sitting at 5009 as of this post.

I have 2 in hand and I think that I'm good with that - one normal and one battle damaged. I can't see myself being willing to pay anything over $100 for a third. I bought 4 HasLab versions and several of every other one that has been put out. Sometimes you have to know when to call it good.

It used to be much easier just to view the source and look at the sidebar.

At least this method gives us something.

Got and opened my second Sentinel. These are really amazing. Trying to figure out if I can use some existing things I have like the Marvel Select Danger Room pieces and the original Toy Biz Marvel Legends Sentinel bases from like 2004 to create a diorama with these Sentinels and the X-Men ‘97 figures.

Also, getting this made me dig out my copy of Wizard #33, which, in addition to having a cover of a totally non-sexualized Catwoman, is the issue from 1994 that had a report from that year’s Toy Fair that included Toy Biz’s then-upcoming Sentinel from the ‘90s line. As a kid, I was just excited a Sentinel was coming, even if I thought the execution felt less action figure than paperweight with projectile pieces.

“Night of the Sentinels,” the two-part premiere of the animated series was my introduction to the X-Men and ultimately Marvel, so the Sentinels are special to me (which sounds weird reading it aloud).

Incidentally, this article from Wizard was the first time I realized you could learn about action figures besides just finding them in stores or seeing other figures on cardbacks and in those Kenner catalogs.

Oh for sure. It's really interesting being able to see the numbers on Pulse, and gives us at least a clue as to the production numbers for different products. Very glad to have this little window into things! I looked at like 12 different releases with it yesterday. For anyone wondering, there appear to be over 2600 Kang with throne set still available...

Showing 5004 for me. Starting to slow down a bit. I'm concerned I might end up buying another one of these...

Jesus. Balent went full gooner mode on that one.

As an aside, I can't believe Catwoman's purple costume is growing on me. I might genuinely prefer it to her black catsuit now. The older I get, the less interested I am in seeing superheroes in black. Problem is, I like the mask/goggles on the modern outfit.

Iconic Wizard cover. Formative issue.

This was when I started wondering how she even put the costume on, and wondered why it had boob pockets, and the fabric/material doesn't make sense to me at all.

At 13.

I do have to ask if you're familiar with his work? You've specified "that one". Have you not seen his creator owned work, let alone the other Wizard and Catwoman covers of the era?

Back when you had to order comics from catalogues (or Mile High Comics as advertised inside the comics you already had) I saw a fair amount of Balent's Catwoman in black and white line art as these catalogues were rarely in color, I was wondering when Catwoman went through a phase where she was naked aside from the mask, gloves and thigh high boots.

Not saying I complained, but I couldn't quite understand it. But then again a few pages prior introduced me to Witchblade's Sara Pezzini and her g-string that looked like it was made from a coral reef.

I just accept it as 90s novelty now, like pouches on everything or murdering a stranger in a KMart over the last furby.

 

[altcunningham]

It drew more wisecracks from my parents because at least they understood Witchblade, Angela, and Aspen were just running around in Frederick's of Hollywood wear.

The latex/body spray ones no one could explain away. Or at least let go

So this Sentinel is essentially the Neal Adams/John Byrne design along with the animated series. The HasLab was based on the House of X era.

Call me when we get the Bob McLeod version.

And when they're not 30" tall.
