They really have nothing they can do here since it is effectively impossible to open it up without breaking it to use replacement parts or additive parts to fix it. This is one reason they do crowdfunding, if this happened to a brick and mortar or online retailer they would have to eat the cost of this some how. Too bad we aren't Wal-Mart we might be able to raise some hell about it. Hips out to the side, thigh swivel, and both knees are supposed to have fully engaged ratchets, but almost no one is reporting that they can feel any ratchets at all, let alone 4 or more per leg. He said in the comments that the washers he used DO NOT engage the ratchets, it just increases the friction more.īasically these figures are mostly or all engineered/assembled incorrectly as almost none of the ratchets engage on the lower part of the body enough to even know they are there. The other problem with the legs is the hip ratchet is too loose so he ends up falling into a full split if you angle the legs too much, and he couldn't get into either hip to work on that. Tightening the knee but not the knee's ratchet didn't make the ratchet work, so that part of the knee's design still isn't working. He wanted to add a large washer to the ratchet, but he didn't because he knew he couldn't do it for the other leg. That was only half of the solution he wanted to implement though. Mon 4:11 pmIt looked like he added washers to the knee screws which ARE accessible under the round gray piece you can pop out. I am surprised we haven't seen, as far as I know, bootlegs of the Marvel universe sentinel. Why would they actively design it to prevent disassembly?I assume to prevent bootlegs from flooding the market easily. They spent money specifically in the design so you CAN'T disassemble it, and that's why the video's author didn't add washers to the ratchets he knew he could only do it for the one thigh where that "no entry" screw wasn't tightened. They don't have to make it easy, but they went out of their way to add screws that you explicitly can't un-screw from the outside, and the only purpose for those screws is to prevent you from opening it up yourself. Why do you need a figure that is easy to disassemble? I can't think of many elaborate/expensive toys that are meant to come apart after it's built. Head on over to if you want to back the project.Another question that disassembly video raises is why did they design the figure to specifically make it extremely difficult to disassemble without breaking the plastic? This is a pricey piece for most collectors, but with about 6 weeks, to back the project, it looks like we can see this far surpass Hasbro’s expectations, and might mean more giant figures in the future. If you do back the project, you will be charged on August 24th, with the figure currently estimated to ship in Fall 2021. There is no announced plans for more tiered stretch goals, but with hitting 9k in less than 4 days, however in social media comments, Hasbro has hinted that they may add more depending on how far the backing goes. They did introduce stretch goals up to the 9,000 backers, so also included in this will be an alternate Master Mold head, alternate Battle Damage Head & Hand, & a 6″ female Prime Sentinel figure. The goal was to get 6,000 backers at $350 a piece by August 24th, and over the weekend, they shattered that, with the current backer count at just over 9,000. HasLab works similar to Kickstarter, where they need the customer base to buy into the project before they go into manufacturing. The giant figure will include a tentacle for its hand, as well as a 6″ version of Bastion with a swappable Prime Sentinel head. Last week, Hasbro revealed their latest HasLab project, a 26 inch tall Marvel Legends Sentinel.
