Sentinel Re:Edit War Machine
Sentinel Re:Edit War Machine is an improvement in their Iron Man line. I had a few loose joints with the previous releases, nothing too bad, but it did bother me. The only loose joint on this release is the upper body's ball joint. The figure is top heavy so it should be tighter. It's not terribly loose and doesn't flop so not a big deal. Even though the arms are bulky they have a surprisingly really good range of motion.
The paint apps look excellent, and the led gimmick really makes the figure look even cooler. It comes with a load of armaments that are modular. So awesome!! Lastly, they improved the stand clamp piece; it now has ratchets for firmer hold. Thank you, Sentinel. This my favorite release so far.

Sen-ti-nel Armorize Iron Man
Sen-ti-nel's second Iron Man offering. While it has a striking look, it's not as well planned as their Re-Edit line. I think it's because Sen-ti-nel has different groups working on projects. Some better than others. Re-Edit is done by Chemical Attack who are their best team in my opinion. Armorize was done by T-Rex.
I want to like this figure more than it deserves because of its aesthetics, but unfortunately it has poor paint quality that chips, and hindered articulation when Armorized. It's this very gimmick, placing the armor on the figure that's the main selling point. Posing is not it. If you're not into posing, fine, but I like dynamic posing and it can't be done here, and that's a shame. Main parts hindered by the armor are the ankles and shoulders (armor pieces can pop off and even cause paint chipping).
On the plus side, Takayuki Higashi did a killer job with the sculpt. I especially like Tony Stark's head sculpt. Nicely detailed and appropriately expressive with articulated eyes.

Sentinel Re:Edit Iron Man Bleeding Edge Armor Review
My only complaint was that the hip joints were a little loose so I had to tighten them up with floor care finish. Nice and tight now.
Disclaimer: The pink neon blades are from Kotobukiya. I sanded down the insertion tabs to fit into the blade gauntlet pieces. The blades were sprayed with a flat coat spray to give them a nice glow like effect that picks up light nicely. If you're interested in these, they are called M.S.G.
