Jack in to the Matrix again with Hot Toys' Sentinel
by Bryan Coffee on 08/17/2009 3 comments

Ah, 1999. It was a good year. People were scared to death that the Y2K bug was gonna kill us all, women were declaring their distaste of scrubs, and the world would be introduced to the first of what was expected to be an amazing, three-part, sci-fi extravaganza. Of course, I'm talking about The Wachowski bro...er, siblings, and their low-budget, high-profit film, the Matrix. Sure, the sequels and the games were not up to par, but the world of the Matrix was definitely an incredible one, filled with a lot of shady characters (who are always French in movies for some reason), and ridiculously bad ass robots.

One of those robots, the movie's titular Sentinel, is being made by uber toy studio Hot Toys. Due for release later this year, this incredible 1/16th scale piece was made for the little deviant cyberpunk in all of us. The tentacles are posable, and have articulation, and even the little mandible limbs of the Sentinel can be posed. Hopefully you bought the Ultimate Matrix collection on Bluray, so you can take some lovely photos of your Sentinel chasing down the Nebuchadnezzar, or your Miku figma, or whatever it is you scamps buy nowadays.

No word on pricing for this thing yet, but I'm gonna have to assume it will be in the "pricey" to "holy crap thats pricey" range. Keep your peepers on Hot Toys for pre-order info if you're interested.
