Got a message about a release delay for Metamor-Force Bari-ation Baikanfu. I looked on Amiami and it says July... I don't remember what the release date was previously, though?
Also, if Baikanfu is the only Machine Robo character announced for this line, can the title be changed to the appropriate line and character? It makes for easier search.

How much diecast is typically in a sentinel figure? In terms of weight and quality, how does it compare to a SOC?

Kuma would know more about that as he has many many more piece but,
From my collection, Id say The quality is superb! There are occasionally minor parts fitting mishaps but nothing glaring.
Compare to SOC generally, it seems to employ lighter plastic with less diecast with again a lighter "diecast metal alloy material..." Sentinel WAS THE king of joint engineering but Bandai IS QUICKLY catching up.

Why do I want this? What's wrong with me? What the heck is a Baikanfu anyway?

Why do I want this? What's wrong with me? What the heck is a Baikanfu anyway? Where do I start. Baikanfu is the main robot that Rom Stall uses in the Machine Robo anime and it is also a remold of Gordian who follows a similar transformation scheme of being a Japanese Robot equivalent of a Russian Nesting Doll. Hence why these robots kinda combine as layers of each other. Sentinel's offerings seem to be continuing of the tradition of giving a more stylized alternative to the Soul of Chogokin release as it also has extra parts such as a choice between the shoulder paldrons being spikes or squarish pegs. Looking at KumaStyle's review of the Soul of Chogokin reveals at how amazing the engineering is how Bandai does not need to change much for their reissue.

I think it the "nesting" concept that's really the appeal for me. The engineering just seems so advanced. It's very impressive. I think Sentinel is going to knock it out of the park with this.

I swear, Sentinel designers/engineers are insane, literally, like mad-man insane I hope they stay in business longer than CMs did, hate to see another super talented company go away.

It looks stunning! It looks like sentinel incorporated a few detented ratchet joints in the knees and hips. While it looks like a lot of the inner joints are metal they do look more frail than the SOC. I look forward to the upcoming reviews because the proportions on this guy are absolutely aces.

The tricky part for me here is hoping they don't sell out before Kuma gets his review up. I just gotta see this in action before I pull the trigger on it.

Not a big fan of baikanfu, but if I were to choose this or the soc version, I'll go for sentinel version..its beautiful

So I just saw the second video Sentinel's international facebook page released and unfortunately, putting Rom into Kenryu requires a little parts removal with the shoulder armor and potentially Kenryu's arms. I'm not sure I agree with the engineering they chose for the arms. Putting Kenryu in Baikanfu requires the same parts removal except the shoulder pads are on hinges.

Yep, watching that vid turned me off for this release. Decision making time and I am leaning towards canceling my pre-order...

Oddly enough; I'm not watching any of the videos because it's just going to bug me not to have gotten payment request yet.
