Sentinel is expanding its two main action figure lines with new releases in 2026. The company opened preorders for the Fighting Armor Hulkbuster (Black Limited Edition) on July 15, a 260mm die-cast figure with a gloss black and gold finish, movable fingers, and missile launchers, scheduled for release in September at 29,700 yen. A few days earlier, Sentinel announced the Fighting Armor Rescue figure, a die-cast model of the Iron Man supporting character with drone and effect accessories, set for November 2026.
In June, Sentinel added the RIOBOT Raijin-Oh from Super Robot Wars OG to its premium line. The 280mm figure uses die-cast parts and click joints, is sold exclusively through the Sentinel Store, and is priced at 47,300 yen for an October 2026 release. The three announcements show Sentinel simultaneously maintaining its core Fighting Armor series-which now includes a limited color variant and a new character-and expanding its RIOBOT line with a larger, store-exclusive item.
