Question for owners with exclusive edition. If the sentinel head doesn’t light up ( common issue it seems with this one ) and all the other light features work what advice could you give to try and remedy this fault ?

I agree. If they made them in 1:4 scale. It doesn't have to have a light up feature (which adds to cost). How many turn on the light feature? For photos, when a guest shows up at the house, that's about it.

I totally disagree about 1/4 being mmmey maker. It’s simply to huge and shipping would be a nightmare . Look at Batman sanity diorama it’s 1/6 scale will cost 3K.

Space is the other issue

If something comes along, a 1:4 scale diorama, with characters on it that I like, no problem. I just sell off the existing character statues I have and replace them with the new diorama. Space problem, solved. Cost is defrayed by selling off individual items that are less epic.

I'm always upgrading, so there are always lesser items that get replaced.

Let’s imagine for 1 second this sentinel dio with colossus in 1/4. It would be over 40” tall with a sentinel head the size of mine. Companies won’t make these because they are just too big. Look how many years have gone by since we started this and still none. Closest is 1/5 they are few and far between. It’s just too big

Its the contact points. Sometimes, even cleaning the battery compartment helps. making sure there's no acid leak.

Thanks. I’ve got one coming it’s exclusive edition but sentinel head eyes don’t light everything else works. The shop that sold it to me is not familiar with this piece I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can get it to work
