Unless someone makes a better (read: life-sized) version of the toy (or a room alarm) this may be one of the better ways to get a Sentry Turret for your collection. I usually don't comment on the suggested ages on toys, but it says 14+ on the box and I suggest you follow this warning. It just has a decent sound chip, a fantastic sculpt, spindly little legs, and will break if you leave it with a toddler. As an item developed for Think Geek, it's a nifty de facto internet exclusive with no articulation. When it comes to video game figures, it seems that the rule is they will cost you more than similarly sized figures from TV and the movies. Since a life-sized turret is about 40-inches tall, this figure is probably best scaled to 6-7-inch figure lines like DC Universe, Masters of the Universe Classics, and most of NECA's offerings. The figure says 5 phrases from the game series: Since I assume you don't work in the dark, this doesn't matter, and it's going to look great. With a little bit of light, it would seem the room lights would keep it from looking like it's being x-rayed. In a pitch-dark room, the entire figure glows red because it has a white, unpainted plastic body. As you can see the red light is bright, but not too bright. Seriously, this thing was practically born to live on your desk at work, until someone steals it. If you know and love the game, this is pretty much an essential purchase.Īs a toy, it's OK- as a desk toy, it's fantastic. It stands a little over 3-inches tall (nearly 4 if you count the antenna) so it's a pretty sizable little figure. As a collectible figure, it's fantastic- but if you switch the red LED on in a dark room, it's not going to help you see things or avoid tripping over a giant box of unbuilt Zoids kits, which I assume that you also have in your basement. Because as a flashlight, this thing sucks. "I don't hate you." I'm pretty convinced this Sentry Turret is sold as a "flashlight" because it would step on some other Portal license, perhaps NECA's.
