Well it's basically the same thing just Pure white with a mouth so a Recolor should be Doable. After Compatible Kaiser I expect will get the Dynamic General Guardian units & Probably the Dragon Tiger Lord after him (Here's hoping)

I still have the Volks PVC figure from years ago. But its not the same league as Riobot, not even remotely close.

I'm just waiting for Bluey to show up on resellers. I still have the Volks PVC figure from years ago. But its not the same league as Riobot, not even remotely close. Those old Volks and Banpresto figures tempted me a few times, but I know they will not satisfy my colelcton needs. If Sentinel tackles the big ones though I'll go broke.

Nice sculpt, but very low tier figure engineering. They are like MS in Action level, but with worse joints and weight balance. Some can hardly stand on its own, with weak joints that can't even hold the weight of solid PVC parts. But it was the only option back then when I was a huge SRW fan (still is).

As i remember only sale at D4toys ...i dont know why they not sale as 1 pack together Resellers, not sellers. I unfortunately missed the boat, since I did not expect it to sell out. None of their previous exclusives ever did, but I guess there's always the exception.

So how are the impressions on Bylefol from the people who bought it? Maybe you can even share a couple of pictures.

Well the Shared Parts are mostly the Joints & the White Parts aside from the Recolor & Slight retweaking to the Head (Feels like it sorta has more Range to it Compared to it's Red Counter part) but yeah that's the Impression I got from the Build when putting them next to each other (now Fingers Crossed for both to get the Upgraded Forms as well, well mostly Ialdabaoth)

A bit late to the party, but just opened my Ialdabaoth last night. In terms of sculpt and paint, its perfection! The metallic red and the pearl on the hair are so nice. And for once, the orange gold is perfect on this, not the more lime gold we often see. If you get a black light at home, shine it on this thing. All those small round gems on the body glows! Also very glad to see the 'pony tail' and mid torso ratchets, much needed to keep the top half of the figure from sagging. They did an excellent job making those huge pony tails very light. Articulation is very good, but needs some patience to pose the figure due to all the spikey parts. You don't want them to rub against each other to mess up that beautiful finish. Sentinel didn't do anything ground breaking here however. Just solid above average joints design, but not as nice as their Shin Getter Dragon. But they did excel in the articulated hand design, especially on the thumb. Very natural finger movements and poses. Red shoulder armor surprisingly is all one solid piece, even though with the multi-layer design (bummer). I do wish the butterfly ball joint on the shoulders, as well as the ankle ball joints are a bit tighter. They are not too loose per se, but looser than most of the joints on the figure, so end up moving them when posing arms and legs even when I don't mean to. And I wouldn't mind they make the back heel claw a bit longer, just so it has even more balance when doing more extreme poses, and visibly won't make too much of a difference. But for more normal posing, the stability is very good and not back heavy. May not be a TOTY figure as it doesn't excel in any particular category (aside awesome hands and paint), but it is surely a very nice one very very good execution. It weighs about 400g at your average Metal Build size. Not hefty, but not featherweight. Who would have thought we would get a Ialdabaoth figure from the SRW OG-verse of this caliber, after all these years. Go get one, if it tickles your fancy. Keep having this cover theme playing in my head when I was opening this figure. Also, found this Cantonese video review, that has the Kotobukiya model kit as a side by side comparison, further illustrates what I meant by "sculpt and paint perfection".

Badass! Found a Chinese review with Bylefol comparison side by side. Good for those still pondering on the blue guy. Though from the back, it looks like the red hair (tentacles) not as thick or full as the silver hair on Ialdabaoth, with some hollow gap between the two 'bunch'.

Some very expressive hands. Kenshiro would be proud.

I finally managed to get Bylefol for a decent price. It's actually cheaper than what it would have cost me at D4, due to the lower shipping cost.
Part of why I went with it over Ialdabaoth is simply because I already have so many red super robots. The hair also looks better for me.
