NERV Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 First of all, this thing is HUGE, it WILL eat your 1/48, it WILL eat your pets, and it WILL eat your children, that said, onto the review: Sculpt: 9.5 the sculpt is dead on, and even at this massive scale they still maintain lots of tiny detail, there are 3 types of claws, open, closed, and articulated, there are 4 open, 6 closed, and 4 articulated, for a grand total of 14 human shredding claws, only gripe is that the articulated claws seem kind of pointless to me as i will be keeping them all in the open or closed position anyway, personally i would have made 14 open and 14 closed claws that could be interchangeable, BTW this thing is HUGE. Paint: 9 the paint job is extremely good, no overspray, all the panel lining and weathering is is excellent, especially for something so HUGE, my only question is i dont remmeber the sentinels being as brown, but you never really see them in good lighitng conditions in the mvoies so i dont know Articulation: 10 every single tentacle is HUGE and fully articulated and unlike many other toys that wire-in-rubber poseable, these tentacles will take any pose and hold it, also the small arms under the head have ball joints at the base QC: 9 this area woul have got a 10 except for the one claw that was broken and it seems a few of the claws and small arms suffer from gashapon disease, altho its notihng a heatgun cant cure Packaging: 5 oh i didnt not like that packaging, especially since it was problably responsible for the gashapon disease, it comes packes with the sentinel tied in a giant knot and held tight with zip ties and twisties ties, it also isnt a very good display package as the sentinel is all knotted up and u cant really see how HUGE it is when its in a knot Value: 11! literally a bargain at twice the price, something this HUGE and of this quality i would expect to go for at least $60 but it was a mere $25, AMAZING! Overal: 9.8 there is not much you could do to make this toy any better, this is quite possible the greatest thing mcfarlane has ever made, IMHO, DID I MENTION IT'S HUGE? even the bulky SP alpha doesnt stand a chance can you believe something like this is only $25? out of witty comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagiz Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 OH yea, great fun at work, if you can find the room! I love mine, but not without complaints, you can see one of the claws came with a tip missing, and the paint got worn off in the box. All in all worth every penny! Now where is my APU for it to kill!
