I know this is betraying my roots as a plastic figure collector (and not a gokin pureblood), but honestly if the toy is excellent I don't mind if the die-cast content is minimal. I think die-cast works best when it is distributed such that the figure balances well, and cooperates well with the joints. Comicave's 'Super Alloy' Iron Man figures are like 80% die-cast and the poor design still makes them undesirable to me. Obviously a mostly-metal figure feels very special in the hand, but I'm personally pleased that Sentinel prioritises engineering, gimmicks and playability over having lots of metal.

The silver Sentinel is using on this guy just shimmers in the light.

I checked in with Sentinel and they said this guy will be 18cm or around 7 inches tall. So he's not quite as big as I thought, but that also means he shouldn't cost as much as I think he will in my head.

18cm not really in scale with soc of mazinger, well if cheap then i will get it since i quite like the design of this mazinkaiser version which look really stylish.

Im going to guess around $200 total... If 200 that's too much for me. I'll stick to my chrome SRC.

It's also heavier with more metal content and just as poseable. I was watching out for this figure then I saw the price. As much as I like what sentinel offers most of the time their pricing sometimes turns me off. For 200 bucks I could get the bigger SOC figures at that price range.

ok, guys how about $150 total? That includes applicable tax and shipping.
But seriously tho , based on past high end Sentinel releases, i still venture to guess around $175 MSRP figure alone. i have my doubt it will be under $100.... I have SRC SKL and chrome Kaiser and they are no doubt awesome for how much Bandai charges. it might be crazy to some comparing this might cost almost as twice as much as SRC Kaisers....(BTW, MidTown Comics having an awesome sale on those.)
But its relative... Look at Evolution Toys , HLPro figures, and most of the 3rd partyTransformers charges..... Now look at Sentinel figures and its price point.
In the end i do understand to certain degree, i passed HT Igor for Comicave one. Its good that we have choices no?

in my opinion i see this Riobot Mazinkaiser as a new flavor, it give it a realistic robot look and you are right its bad when we don't have a choice but that doesn't mean we throw our money on an awful product, in this hobby patience is the key even if you are like me and have zero patience you will learn -they can keep it then thats Fewture & DX SOC range
