Just Got mine today, I have to say, images and video review don’t do it justice, you must got the feeling personally. With all due respect to the guys who hesitated to get this masterpiece, I tell you all you are missing out. Although it is a bummer that the upgrade parts aren’t available, although I have a feeling they will be eventually, it is no reason not to get this bad boy. I had to to very painfully pass on Volts and Daimos to get this one and I have to say it dame worth it....... Can’t wait for the Black one. TH’x

I was asked by Sentinel to start relaying that the limited, hard-dated preorders truly are limited, one-off things. Kind of sucks but at this point if we're even thinking about a figure with an affair on kit it's probably best to just buy the add on kit regardless.
I'm not sure if the Black Ryoma is officially getting the parts but if so this is good to know going forward.

Are you saying what I am afraid that you are saying, that those who missed the upgrade parts are in for an indefinite wait if not never !!!

Why would you think they'd re release it when they hardly EST do second runs of even their hottest toys. It sucks but we're in an age where re releases just train customers not to buy things on first release. Look at 3rd party Transformers. You go to a convention where the exclusives should be one of the most enticing parts but half the people there don't worry about getting them even knowing they'll be online later.

So what is the diecast content in this bad boy? Love the black getter might pick that one up The ones I figured so far, 1- mostly all the joints. 2- the chest. 3- the lower part of the forearms (non-blades) 4- the most of the shoulders. 5- the interior part of the legs. 6- the whole hip. In short my friend it is a very hefty figure, you could just sit there and admire it all day. I agree the black one looks more badass than the red one, but still the red one has its own charm. TH’x

TBF the figure looks f**king phenomenal even without the wings (which I won't even be displaying) so I think it getting the add ons will be more of an ego hit for people than anything to do with the figure's shelf presence.

I need the complete figure. My OCD would drive me crazy if I missed them... for that reason I cancelled the figure. Unfortunately I didn't had the money for the option parts while they were available. I'm already regretting that decision...I hope that one day they reissue the complete set (a man can dream)

Mine just arrived along with the expansion pack. I have to say this guy's size and heft is just surprising. I thought he'd be a bit smaller and even undersized. This feels like a very solid, almost DX Chogokin quality release, except with the sharpest detail you can ever ask for. This makes me want to look at previous Sentinel robot releases and possibly also put some money towards the black one.

At this point you are 110% right... history tells that sentinel won’t reissue stuff, fine example Mazinkaiser. So..... will get the black getter while is available and not ridiculous overpriced on eBay. Thanks for the intel on the figure ...I have preordered the black one looks sick

Just got him into my display case. I am very, very impressed by Sentinel’s work on this figure. It is bigger than I expected too which was a nice surprise. They did a nice job of capturing Eiichi San and Tomohiro San’s art too. I didn’t know the tomahawks come with the hands attached but that’s a minor quibble. This thing is sooooooo crisp in it’s sculpt and paint apps, it’s just a superb production piece. So, my only concern now is Sentinel producing the other two. I e-mailed and asked Sentinel and they wrote back they couldn’t comment on what future products are in production so all I have is hope. I have the Upgrade Parts coming but honestly, I am so happy with how good this looks with the cape and tomahawks I will barely use them. Maybe the axe, but that would be it. I have no interest in the Black version as it’s not in the manga but it’s cool for those who want it. Anyway, this is my figure of the year for 2018, no doubt. Kudos to Sentinel and all of the creative people and production staff!

To tell the truth about the upgrade parts, I feel I would do the same, since the are extra rare and got a bit of a hefty price tag I would only get the Tomahawk out. Although the looks of it with those dragon wings look ultimately sick,...... TH’x

And boom, yet another person who came to the conclusion that it looks so badassed without the upgrade set that it isn't the "must" that folks were making it out to be pre-release.
I'm telling you guys AGAIN; this piece is incredible on its own.

I'm telling you guys AGAIN; this piece is incredible on its own. Well it is not like the Upgrade Parts Pack is laying somewhat here and there with the Add to Cart Button clickable, because we got what we are dealt Bro. To me if I can find it with a reasonable "JACKED UP" Price I would go for it, but the thing is that I couldn't even get a hold of the darn thing even on eBay. but to pass on the whole figure just because I couldn't get the Upgrade Parts, HELL NO. TH'x
