Sentinel starting to get KO'd a lot for sure. The Metamor Force Ryuoumaru got KO'd with the metal jacket add-on included. Riobot Iron Giant got a OS KO incoming. It's just the beginning. Don't think Sentinel has the budget to fight this like Bandai. Do you have more info on the Iron Giant KO? I have the Sentinel but I collect all things Iron Giant so I’d love to buy the KO as well. Hopefully the KO will fix the hopelessly sh*t ankles of the original. It's by Fantasy Jewel and can be found on Showz. --------------------------------------------------------------- I think I'm going to knock out the review on this tonight. I'll make sure to show the comparison of the wrists while going through differences but if there are any other specifics of this piece anyone wants to see gone over please message me.

Hopefully the KO will fix the hopelessly sh*t ankles of the original. It's made by Fantasy Jewel, the same factory that tried to KO GX-71 Voltron. I think it's ok for the price. According to some chinese reviewers, the paint on it is very mediocre. Some overpaint, some drips, and some joints like the ankles are left unpainted (showing raw diecast).

Don't think Sentinel has the budget to fight this like Bandai. Flame Toys Tarn is coming as well in terms of KOs. It's nuts. Looking st the quality of Dancouga and what folks are saying about Ryuoumaru these are pretty much some of the best KOs ever. I have a good idea of the company that did Dancouga and if they're doing the others you can almost bet on them being pretty dead on aesthetically and going out of their way to implement improvements. I hate that I potentially come off promoting KOs but the company knows what they're doing.

I went ahead and ordered one of these. I want to finally be able to experience the Sentinel Dancouga mold without paying the high price tag. The official reissue with blackwing looks amazing, but way out of my price range.

I still need to review it but honestly outside of minor paint differences and the wrists being more exposed it's a bang on likeness with better joints and accessories.

My Sentinel Dancouga's left shoulder broke after all these years so I was happy to get this as a replacement. The fit and finish, although not on par with Sentinel, is pretty damn close. My only gripes are the liger's mane not closing completely as seen in the pictures in this thread, and a few cosmetic blemishes. But overall, wow, it's definitely an impressive piece. I wish this came along earlier so I could've packed my original away to save the shoulder from breaking.

thanks getterjehuty. the added die-cast and extra articulations on the liger and panther also make it more playable. Overall, the figure is more playable due to the die-cast reinforcements, the previously mentioned added articulation and its lower price
