Thank you for a Real Nice review. And Wow, what a recomendation. Sentinel is really raising the bar for everyone!
Now I kind of see why Bandai slowed down SRC. At around $100 to $120, it seemed to priced itself out. And decline of QC didnt help. Considering Sentinel Iron Giant and 5Pro TKV around similar price at a considerably superior quality, Bandai is going have tough time justifying lack of diecast and the lack of QC on any future gokins at similar price point. .....
Cant wait for mine.

One thing I really like is that the mouth can open at an angle. That happens several times in the movie, when the Giant has been hurt or is making a face. No idea if it was designed that way intentionally, or if it's just an emergent feature, but I'm even more excited for this now. I don't think the $300 Mondo figure can do that.

Neeearrrrrg! I am jealous, Lejam.
Meanwhile, BBTS apparently had their Iron Giants shipped by dirigible, and the mad airship's captain, too stupidly stubborn to avoid storms, has flown directly into every typhoon he can find. *sigh*

Got notice from BBTS that my order is in my POL. Unfortunately waiting for another item to arrive before I can ship it. Or should I ship it now?

Had no idea the 'runaway version' was in the works too. I hope they offer an accessory pack for those of us who bought the first one, but if not I'll probably just get another.

Mine arrived from the BBTS on Saturday. I'm gonna wait and give it to my son for Christmas. He's into stop motion, and this should be perfect.

Finally had time to open mine yesterday. The best word I can think of to describe the figure is Exquisite. I had the Mondo figure and while it was very nice it was far too big and just didn't have the same level of craftsmanship and thoughtful design that this one does. It also didn't feel as robust as this figure and wasn't anywhere near as pleasurable to handle and pose.
I've wanted a gokin Iron Giant for about 15 years and this one is pretty much everything I hoped for. The only thing I'd like that it doesn't have is ratchet joints, but the tolerances of all of the friction joints are perfect and he doesn't droop or slant or topple. Really a masterful piece from T Rex and everyone involved.

Just got mine. Wow! This dude just radiates personality. It is much heavier than I was expecting. Far more metal. I only have one minor negative, and that’s how the Sooperman logo attaches to the chest. It just kind of screams “paint damage likely”. Everything else about the figure is just perfection.
