This looks great. Is this the first time Sentinel has tackled Time Bokan stuff?

I appreciate them making this but can't see myself buying it for more than maybe $250.

I cannot see a lot of super familiar with this property. It a rather old design. Maybe the price is to offset the limited sales potential and tooling cost. How often does Sentinel re-issue their back catalogร

Sentinel is always overpriced. But I'm happy with each product I've bought from them. Their engineering is great, but die cast content tends to be low or zero in most releases. My problem with this one, outside the price, is that it is too small, one or two more inches would have been perfect. I'm don't know the source material, so even when I like the design, with all the releases we are getting I'd rather go for two other figures... When it comes to reissues, Sentinel used to avoid them, however in the last year they are starting to do some, I can see them trying to milk their successful releases like the mazinkaiser or getters.

6 inch
you know just to put that into perspective this thing is a hair taller than the Mini Action Voltes V, which is 5.90 inches !
i dont think this figure worth the +$300 asking price
for me i refuse to pay more for less, not only its overpriced but its extremely small and the diecast will be minimum as always , the only good thing about it, its a rare robot and those rare robots that Sentinel do always tent to be dead accurate, thats it

Well, it's also two figures, but yeah it's small and overpriced. Bandai gave more with GX-46, which would have probably cost the same as this if you considered inflation. I can understand the main mecha not having much die-cast in the upper body since that would hurt the combined form's balance but we know that's not the only part that will be low on die-cast. I wonder if Sentinel over-price their figures because they know a most of them go on sale not long after release.

so +$150 for 1 figure ? lol you are not helping them bro
its a very unfair comparison since the GX-46 is bigger, more diecast and loaded with accessories, tho i hope Bandai do an R version for it since the figure is really old

They must be paying attention to the Italian collectors market, LOL The vintage Takatoku toys are gaining attention again. Interesting styling, but still cartoony.
If someone wants a nice sized, diecast DX toy, the Banpresto tribute release from late 90s is nice. Even the vintage DX set is not going for high $$ these days.

I have the Unifive version already and not sure this makes me want to get it -- esp. the MSRP.

I really like their work but unless it's a design a really like and don't have many other options I'll wait for a sale on their figures, if I buy them at all.

Hmmm? So around $350'ish USD? That's actually not unreasonable (I can't believe I've reached the point where I can type that... I mean it's not $500-700 like so much of this stuff is getting).
