Don't know if y'all have already seen this, but here he is... as a Black version, open face... www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-011283&page=rt_02( photo courtesy of Amiami... saved offline and re-uploaded via Photobucket to avoid Hot-linking) Some elements of this piece remind me of M.D.Geist, and I enjoyed that anime. Nice touch of gold accents here, not too "busy" but well-placed. That black "kilt" with its red lining adds a strikingly beautiful contrast to this figure, complimenting the red touch-ups in the armor and weapon. I envision this Gaiking Knight killing his opponents and claiming their blood as an energy source, thus causing the red accents in his armor to glow with such a power-up re-energizing from the claimed blood. ...If you like this, Get Some! zozo-mag

Picking one up this one's face looks very samurai like so digging the look much more.

Ok here ya go.. New Gaiking on left SOC classic on Right.. I get the feeling of a VERY UPSCALE Revoltech.Figure VERY LIGHT,I first think all plastic,fingres say so,BUt lip say different!My lip get cold to touch haha.But has much diecast!Lower legs,back ankles,TOP of feet,not bottom,back pack for wings,headcrest all diecast,Forearms,piec upper arm,shoulderparts,upperwaist,pelvis.Maybe other parts,but that what sticks out. It looks great and poses well.As for my very first out of the box feel? Fell apart in my hand.But I soon realize it is combiner of 3 parts like classic Gaiking.I put parts back together and they are ok now,they just were not pushed tight in box. Ok one things issue, FIST are very hard to push on pegs.Bend elbow for support PUSH HARD til it clicks. I like the look of this toy,menacing.BUT very small and petit feel.Skinny limbs,almost female look,but graceful. Comes with 8 hands(4 sets),2 Swords,Shield,AND LEG guards can be removed for WEAPONS!like classic!! I guess Daiku Maryu coming soon too? I give this toy 7 out of 10,mostly for nice design,price hinders stronger score,as well as its a bit fiddly,harkening back to Dino Getters.By the way box has plastic coffin,not styro and slip over type 1/6 figure outer box. Be careful when posing,keep in mind parts do separate.

thank you for the first review!!
yeah, i was expecting everything you mentioned. thats pretty much sums up lot of sentinels top end figures. fidly, light, and has good shelf presence.
except it has Diecast. you might have missed it since it so light. they use either special alloy or very thin walled metal. his feet, head crest definately should b Die-cast.
