Between this and the SoC Renewal,it is clear that the combined mode of the SoC stomps the ever-loving crap out of the SoC mold. Which I may not need to remind you all,has not aged well. Though the SoC does have a better balance of the individual robots and their modes but at the cost of a more dynamic combined mode. I may be getting both the Sentinel and the SoC Renewal just for said modes for each release. I dont have the original release..will be picking the soc dancouga renewal as well..both the sentinel and soc renewal for me..are good pick ups

I will most likely see if I can get the Renewal on clearance hopefully or for a better price than $270.

Yeah. I am going to do the same thing I did for my Megazord collection and get both for different purposes. The Sentinel for Combined and SoC for the individual bots.

I have four Sentinel and two SOC. For some reason, I've never thought to take some and keep them in individual modes.

Especially Eagle Fighter. Also,I am really surprised there was no add-on kit for the OVA butterfly wings wing pack attachment for Dancouga. It kinda fixes the issue of the back mounted cannon of Dancouga being unusable when the TV show's flight pack is used.

Very cool, man. Looking forward to your display! Yeah. I am taking a break from other figures and will be gunning for the Renewal and the Sentinel. May even get Black Wing as well. But any display I have will pale compared to your well lit pics and dioramas.

Eh... it's not a competition. I love seeing how people have their toys laid out because honestly there have been times where seeing how something looks displayed with other figures has sold me on products I didn't want at all.

Goodluck getting a Sentinel Dancouga bro! Prices are quite way up! Hopefully you can find one for a decent price.
Still on the fence about Sentinel Blackwing at the moment as need some funds to PO the renewal one.
I think Bandai will release a SOC Blackwing along the way.
Nice pic TJ!

Surprised why Bandai didn't do that as an 'upgrade' for the renewal to lure more sales.

Surprised why Bandai didn't do that as an 'upgrade' for the renewal to lure more sales. Maybe we should let Sentinel know and give them ideas. But I am more or less already resigned to paying $400+ for just Sentinel Dancouga at this point. Same with me having to pay like $400 for SoC Voltron.

Dont think Sentinel Dancouga is worth $400 if you ask me I hope you get lucky and can find one for a reasonable price

The one on the right is the SOC right?
Which one do you like more TJ?

He was talking to me...
-------------------------------------
Honestly, I like them about even. My preference is towards the more new styling and articulation of the Sen-ti-nel but there's a nostalgic value and shelf presence of the SOC that's just really incredible, especially when it towers over the Sentinel as such. They're meant to serve different purposes to different collector niches and I think they both do about as even of a job at it.
