Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

My Sentinel arrived today. It's a great looking figure. Not really a premium "feel" but as long as it looks the part I'm okay with it. I saw that post from Johnny Nostalgia about the neck, but it doesn't seem to contact the outer, purple, torso parts so I wonder if his arrived scuffed? Or maybe he just really put it through the ringer for a review. There's some light scuffing on the side of the neck of mine which I saw before even moving it. Perhaps from when the head/neck was attached at the factory? There is some light scuffing on the chest too which is a bummer. It won't show from a display, but it shouldn't be there. Some of the black linework on the torso could be better too. I'll have to touch-up one spot on the back. The faceplate seems to be on there pretty tight, but I haven't really tried to pull it off yet. The thing is huge and I have no idea how I'm going to display it, but I'm glad to have it. The Sentinels were the best adversaries for the X-Men in the old show and having them brought back for '97 was a great move.

 
How does it feel?

The plastic in photos reminds me of Babybel cheese wax.
It feels light, but not flimsy. It feels sturdy. The articulation is fluid but holds poses. No joints so tight that I feel like I'll break them, but I'm still handling with care.

If they were still charging $175 right now, I would be way more tempted to add a couple.
