A few days ago, Sentinel had an exhibition to celebrate their 10th year anniversary which they put those years into good use with releasing quality Mecha toys. During the event, they revealed one of the upcoming products for SRW series and they didn't go half assed. The former mascot of Banpresto, SRX is joining the Riobot lineup! There are not much information about the toy for now but it seems that it will likely have the gattai feature just like the Volks version had few years ago. For a long time SRX has been one my long sought Holy Grail because it is one of the more badass mecha design by Katoki for SRW back when he was still full of fresh ideas. I will get this toy as long as it is within 30000-40000 Yen price range but i would expect it could go higher, given the Company size of Sentinel. Apart from SRX, the Sentinel products i am following their Products are Riobot Johanna, Tekkaman Blade and Legioss which will no doubt giving a quite a dent on my wallet if i planned to get them all.
The thing that strike me when it comes to Riobot is its premium pricing. Most of the time, their robot scale ain’t big as well.
ReplyDeleteMain Problem with Sentinel is their product are hit or miss at times since their company size are way smaller than Bandai. So either you get quality or failed product and rarely in between.
DeleteNevertheless i still highly look up Sentinel because they are one of the few toy manufacturer that release official mecha toys despite the odds.
