From the Sentinel Series, (or Series 10), is the Angel action figure. He's excellent!! He's very well articulated and all of the joints were tight and nicely concealed on this figure. The paint job is good, but there are parts of the figure that the color doesn't appear to be red. It's more of a reddish-brown to me. Also, they went a little heavy with the airbrush when they applied blue paint to the shadowed areas of his body. Regardless of that, the figure comes with 2 wings that you stick to his back. These wings are movable and make the figure look outstanding! ToyBiz made the joints that hold these wings nice and stiff so their weight would be well supported. Even the joint that connects the upper and lower torso together is tight enough to keep Angel from slouching under the weight of the wings. The figure comes with a copy of a classic X-Men #5 comic book. It doesn't show him in the costume that he has on for the action figure, but it's fun for the kids to read. There is also a variant version of this figure floating around that has Angel in a blue colored costume instead of red. Same costume design, just a different color scheme. They call it his "X-Factor" costume, but that isn't true. His X-Factor costume is blue and white, but has a big, white "X" design on the front and back. You're not missing a thing unless you like to see the Angel in his blue costume. As I mentioned, he is part of the Sentinel Series. Which means 2 things this time-you get a wall mountable display base AND you get a piece of the Sentinel's huge 16-inch body. The display base is simply a pedestal-style base of clear plastic to make the character seem as if they are flying or in the middle of a jump. But, it can be placed on the wall or on a sturdy, flat surface for displaying. It is basically the same base that came with the Vision and Deadpool figures. When you get 6 of the 7 figures in this series (Mystique and Omega Red have the same body piece), the pieces can be joined together to make the 8th figure in the series-the Sentinel!! The massive, mechanical menace that hunts down the X-Men and other mutants and eliminates them. Everyone will surely buy all the figures they will need in order to get the Sentinel. It truly looks awesome when it is assembled. Then again, the character selection in this series is so exciting; you'll want to buy them regardless of the Sentinel. This figure is not that well stocked, so finding another may not be easy. ToyBiz is trying to make sure there is enough of every character so that everyone has a chance to build the Sentinel. Get him while you can.

I was please when i brought this figure and it did come with the wings and part to build the sential and i was hoping toybiz would have given the part to make the angel of death where he skin was blue and he had the metal wings this is a toy that any die-hard X-men fan would enjoy

I was happy to see an Angel figure, rather than an Archangel. I mean, I hope they do the Archangel, as well, but this is my first Angel with the feather wings figure.
The wings are AMAZING. Simply amazing, and huge. Couldn't be happier with them; they just simply look wonderful.
Now, I think the figure itself, wings not counting, looks good. It has an incredible amount of articulation, and it is a good representation of the Angel character. But the joints are ugly. Almost every part (toes, fingers, etc) is jointed, and most joints are then also ball jointed for maximum movement. This is great for display... but, the ball joints in the shoulders and legs are so large they detract from the all over look. The incredible articulation, to me, takes a lot away from the overall display of the figure and I could have done without the ball joints entirely. I have a hard time posing Angel appealingly with the big round joints.
The display stand included is awesome, though, as this is definately a figure you want to display 'in flight.' (And it wouldn't have a prayer of standing on its own...)
The Sentinal leg included is HUGE and awesomely detailed. I really really wish I could get my hands on all the pieces, but I have neither the money nor the space to buy figure I don't want just to get all the pieces. Oh well.

I was amazed at how detailed the figure appeared including the limbs, head and especially the wings. The figure itself is quite durable and can take quite a bit of abuse.

On the other hand, the plastic stand that comes with the toy is kinda cheaply made. The base seems a little too small and light to fully support the figure, so I recommend somehow adding weight to the base so that it can stand in place better. Also, the stand is made of plastic that broke after a few falls, however duct tape has fixed it so it's not much of a problem anymore.

Overall this is a great collector's item for any X-men fanatic and/or collector and I highly recommend it for those fanatics.

Angel is by far my favorite of the Sentinel series figures.
His sculpt is suberb, and he is fully articulated, and posable.
This is really an X-Men themed Series, with 2 X-Men, and 3 Villians comprising 5 out of 7 figures, not to mention the Giant BAF Sentinel. With so many X-Men already released as Legends, and with more X-Men, ALlies, and Villians coming in future series, how can you not want to add the Angel to your collection.
There are 2 versions of this figure, the main version features a red and white costume (pictured above), and the variant features the same costume but with a blue and white scheme instead.
Like I said the figure is phenominal, although the rather large impressive wings make the figure top heavy and unable to stand on his own. But I fell that the wings are the best part of the figure. And he comes with a display stand, so all manner of flying poses are possible. Besides, if you had wings would you waste your time just standing around.
Now here's hoping they'll release an Archangel With as much attention to detail.

This is one of series of seven to build the Sentinal. Which I suggest you collect them all to have the complete set. Any ways this is a great toy. This is not one of my favorite characters but after buying it I was very suprised how cool and detailed this one was. Not to mention all the moveable parts just add to the figure. I 'm glad I added him to my collection.

Angel is one of those X-Men who are secretly popular. You don't hear a lot of people talking about him like, oh I don't know, Wolverine, but you make a figure and everyone wants one. The fact that you get a piece of the giant 16" Sentinel does not hurt either.

The figure itself is well articulated and can be posed easily for cool flying with the stand that is included. I set mine up on a raised surface behind the rest (hey, these are for me not my kids!) for a soaring over everyone look that works well. As stated the figure works well but really just looks like a average Joe in an Angel get up. But then you snap on those wings.

The wings make the figure. 6" wing span and great paint and detail make hime look so cool. One word of warning. The wings are very heavey and my stand, the peg that holds Angel, constantly bends back. I had to wire his foot to the stand to stop this. Other than that he is way cool.

I LOVE THIS ACTION FIGURE HE ONE OF MY FAVORITES I HAVE ALL 7 GUYS FROM THIS SERIES AND HES MY FAVOITE

There was nothing wrong with the toy except it was the wrong color. I ordered the Marvel Legend Sentinel Series- Angel Blue, not Red. You sent me another Angel, but it was also red. I sent both of them back in the same box and I'm still waiting for my Blue Angel.

After innumerable delays, I finally received this "collectible" Angel figure. Do not be misled by the photo depicting it. This Angel HAS NO WINGS. Shame on you, ToyBiz. Shame. Shame.
