Just got my payment request from ShowZ so this appears to be available now. It's listed as in coming so not available but coming soon. Ordered a few and will do the full review per usual. Sweet, I'm curious how it compares with the original.

I have SOC version. Found that hard to put into tank mode. Hope this is easier.

Saw some comparison pics in an overseas group and it looks like the faces have noticeably less detail and even stuff like less articulation in the digits. I was hoping it'd be more 1:1 but it looks like everall the quality will be pretty good for what it is.

That should be a given, right? Hoping so.

Mine is on the way as well and I'm really curious

Anyone else get theirs yet? Can you confirm if its supposed to have instructions? Mine only came with a one sided colour pamphlet to show you how to transform the legs.

Mine is on the way as well and I'm really curious I try to be pretty good about sharing that info when I have it but I have no idea of where Isaw it on this one. I would've shared the pics themselves. Anyone else get theirs yet? Can you confirm if its supposed to have instructions? Mine only came with a one sided colour pamphlet to show you how to transform the legs. I don't have it yet but I can confirm that it isn't uncommon for this stuff to come without them.

In regards to the hands they're really articulated. I cant imagine where they could have simplified them . The build feels solid though not sure how durable to metal joints will be. At least they're REALLY stiff right now. Also find a lot of areas hard to open without tools (like the neck plate that hides Big Moth's head and hands are a pain to get out from alt mode). But otherwise this FEELS like a very quality build. Very impressed. Also the way the head attaches (via Eagle Fighter's hands) could be potential breaking point due to how thin they are but only time will tell.

Is there a way to hide the white peg that is connected to the hands? I think that is the difference between the Authentic vs that one.

Mine won't be here until next week but I did read in some youtube review comments that it doesn't come with instructions. This particular review seems to go over the transformations. Hope it helps! Can't wait for mine to arrive, I completely missed the original release.

Also the metal elbows and shoulders are a dead give away its not the genuine toy. Anyone else get theirs yet? Can you confirm if its supposed to have instructions?

I'm torn... outside of improvements like the metal joints I wish it were 1:1 aesthetically but I also appreciate it in terms of all of my officials retaining proper value.
Per tracking this is in the U.S. now so looking forward to doing a full rundown being ablr to compare/contrast with the official.

Finally got my copy. The paint is exactly the same minus the face but the build is superb. Does not look KO at all. If a noob saw two of these items, the noob will choose the KO. Only glaring flaw are the pegs are too obvious on the fist but the rest, this is what Sentinel should have done.
Pics will be posted soon
