If you're a fan of X-Men figures, Hasbro has the ultimate centerpiece for your collection. The company has just unveiled a massive, $350 Sentinel figure designed to be in-scale with the Marvel Legends line. The Sentinel figure is the first Marvel item to be offered through Hasbro's HasLab program. Basically the company's answer to crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, HasLab focuses on larger, more complex and more expensive toys aimed squarely at adult collectors. In this case, at least 6000 orders will need to be placed during the course of the campaign before the Sentinel is greenlit for production. Is the Sentinel worth the high asking price? See for yourself by checking out the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=this-enormous-sentinel-will-tower-over-your-x-men-figures&captions=true"] While Hasbro and Toy Biz have released Sentinel figures in the past (including one as a Build-a-Figure included in an older Marvel Legends wave and another as part of the 3 & 3/4-inch Marvel Universe line), this figure is significantly larger than any that have come before. It measures over 26-inches tall and is designed to be in proper scale with the various 6-inch Marvel Legends. It also includes 72 points of articulation (including 20 in each hand) and an 18-inch tentacle accessory. If you need further incentive, Hasbro is including an exclusive Marvel Legends Bastion figure. Designed at the standard 6-inch Marvel Legends scale, Bastion also includes an alternate Omega Sentinel head. The HasLab campaign will run from July 10 through August 24. You can order the Sentinel figure on the Hasbro Pulse website. As of the time of this article, the campaign is already nearing 2500 backers, so the odds of the Sentinel figure entering production seem pretty high.

The company also kicked off the collector-oriented G.I. Joe: Classified series and revealed a Transformers/Back to the Future mashup figure as a Comic-Con exclusive.
