>>9205889That’s promising news but I’ll bet it wasn’t the original plan. They probably had it similar to The Sentinel: #1 Effect Part, #2 Figure, #3 Body Part Accessory, #4 Figure, #5 Figure, etc.
With the sluggish backing they’re probably merging some of the unlockables… or at least they should be!
>>9205892Exactly, even if the figures included in The Sentinel project meant nothing to many they were still offsetting the cost. I reasoned at the time that even basic figures regularly sold for $20, so three figures = $60 off the overall cost. Flimsy logic but it helped me justify it to myself.
Maybe I’m just bitter because I’ve been a big fan of Galactus and his heralds since …1986 or thereabouts. I have a soft spot for d-listers, so the prospect of getting lesser loved heralds was a dream of mine for a very long time. As a stand-alone figure Silver Surfer will ALWAYS sell, Firelord would sell, Nova would sell. There’s probably 8 people on Earth that are begging for Air-Walker, Morg, Red Shift, or Stardust.
Not to mention Galactus rivals that are too obscure to get figures… like Tyrant.
