With Baikanfu I've been doing some thinking;
The lack of thigh swivel is a pretty big slight for me in terms of articulation, however. I CAN'T think pf a way for it to have been successfully implemented. It has a bit when uncombined, but it's extremely hampered by design and eliminated with Kenryu inside because The joint isn't actually a part the thigh but a joint that swings the entire thigh in and outwards.
It worked on Gordian of because the complete bot was able to be inserted above the knee andthe swivel was just put there am above the knee, however on modern iterations, the bot inserts well past that point, so I don't see that as possible with kenryu going well below that point and the majority of the front of the leg needing to open.
I thought about inserting a swivel in the thigh but it's not possible because of the door.
The only other option I can think of is at the ankle which would just be silly looking.

Just a headsup for folks who have this figure, someone over at Toysdaily shared pics of his Sentinel Baikanfu. The paint has begun to deteriorate on his unit. Item has been displayed No idea if this is an isolated issue and maybe it just got placed too close to display lights and baked? Might want to check yours if you have this guy. Here's the thread over at Toysdaily www.toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=258842&extra=page%3D1&page=1Gold

This is the biggest POS that Sen-ti-nel have put out. Kenryu feels like a model kit. Diecast is minimal on Baikanfu. Combined mode is basically a statue with whatever little articulation on the lower half of the body on Baikanfu eliminated once combined. The arms keep falling off for both Kenryu and Baikanfu during combining. The SOC blows this away in every way. The whole thing feels like a model kit. It has that wobbling/shaking on the limbs during play. The right arm on my Baikanfu broke off with minor resistance. Thank God I was able to return it back to Amazon Japan for a full refund. Otherwise, I would been stuck with this $300 POS. Lesson learned.

DAMN, TTurbo...
Im sorry to hear about your copy. If my $300 Toy turned out that way, oh yeah im going to tell my closest 200000. You cant really mess up like that in this age of so called, "internet."
I just ordered $300 Sentinel Riobot Shin Getter.....Trust me, if they mess that up...whooo~~~ Neagan has NOTHING on me.

Not sure if it's his copy. I like mine well enough. It's got room for improvement but it looks awesome and does its job.

It looks like the paint wasn't mixed properly and didn't cure correctly. So as it finally fully outgassed it grew brittle and shrunk. Plus it looks like it didn't adhere to the undercoat. Just being close to a light wouldn't do that to both the shoulders and the legs. The display cabinet would have to be like an oven to even begin do the full top to bottom figure like that. And even then the paint would have to be pretty poor to start for heat to effect it that way. Bad or Contaminated Paint is far more likely.

I finally got around to Baikanfu. I really like this design and why i went with this over the SOC. What bums me out is the articulation once its fully combined but its still very good. Not as impressive as Dancouga but overall im still happy with it. My current display, almost all Sentinel What's the figure on the left bottom corner next to Getter-1?
