WOW wasnt aware of those articulated/painted sentinel action figures
Thanks for the pics and great customs.
Where are you buying them from?

Yea. A quadroplegic pilot doesn't look so great when the suit is opened.

Anytime olbertfrog. I'm happy you like them. For me the best place to get imported items from Japan is HLJ(Hobby Link Japan).
They have good prices and decent shipping rates. Anyone else have recommendations?

Looks like WAVE is putting out an R Raccoon model kit:

The pilot looks pretty ugly! haha

The amount of Ma.K kits coming out these days is incredible! There was a time when any Ma.K related item was few and far between.

Glad it's getting more popular! It's very influential and deserves more respect

*Thread Update*​

Cool! I just received the Sentinel "Kauz" from HLJ yesterday. I wanted to share some pics. Overall it is a nice figure, with quality paint and details. The downfalls are the support arm for flight poses; there is no ratcheting or other gear mechanism to keep the arm erect when under the weight of the figure, so it just collapses. You have to have the arm nearly vertical to maintain the weight of the figure. The base looks fantastic though. Another one is the lack of a full bodied pilot. A full bodied pilot in space suit would have been killer. Lastly the articulation in the arms is very limited. I cant even get the gun arm to twist to center. Probably more of an issue with the suit design than the toy design (sorry Kow). Fleige is coming next in May. I will most likely get that one too. I want more land based suits and vehicles though, but it's great that we are getting these.

Nice Kanz release and thanks for sharing.

A few (poor) pix of unboxing my snowman awhile back.....

Excellent choice of pilot. Also the weathering is a nice touch. I dont think the original was weathered like that.
