I've been watching many reviews. These guys are fun... I'd love to play with them. In terms of articulation, we know Sentinel tends to deliver and these are no exception. Too bad I can't afford a new line of figures (srw riobot stuff), I'm actually trying to keep up with MB/gffmc Gundam stuff and myth cloth ex. Also backtracking monsterarts, some sentai toys, and MB stuff. My wallet is dry.

Overall , Bylefol articulation is "insane" Next ill fight pose together with Ialdabaoth together as eternal SRW Which you like better? Red or Blue? Seeing these pics and some of the reviews makes me feel bad passing on Bylefol. But ultimately, I don't think I have so much love on the Bylefol/Fernando that I need to have them both. Does feel a bit jelly not having both like you do. Also, are yours the white butterfly joints and the leg ankle balljoints (not the hinges, those are nice and tight) a bit on the looser side? Curious if it is just mine or they are all like that, especially when you have 2 samples in your hands. My Ialdabaoth stands very stable, but mainly is due to the big feel and good ground contact. But in certain pose, the ankle balljoints will give and the figure will lean forward or backward, unless I counter the weight/balance very well or have the feet locked in a certain angle (lean against the lower shin so it can't rotate/lean any further). Though both left and right sides are very evenly looser on both the butterfly and the ankles. So really not sure.

People were not overblowing how beautiful the paint was, and how difficult it it to manage moving the figure. But you can't fully fault Sentinel for the later, since that's all due to the design of the mecha.

Understanding this figure will take a while. I'll just do a safe pose for now.

The articulation is quite straight forward. Just that the design of the shapes doesn't naturally give you a lot of clearance to move things around, so need some patience to avoid paint rubbing in every move.

I feel it's been a while since I had something that got in its own way so much when moving, and because of how beautiful the paint is I don't want to take any risks.

Yeah, sometimes Sentinel doesn't get enough credit in their execution. Their paint job has been very on point in the past few years. All people choose to remember is their Shin Getter and Dancouga shoulders, especially among Hong Kong toy groups.
