Don't get any expectations about figures from XM's Sentinel Diorama being sold alone, because that's not going to happen. The images may be from preliminary studies for the piece.
Bryan Tan gives the very reasonable reasons:
"Sentinel will be sold as one entire unit.The reason is because selling and releasing pieces individually will take up to 12 months (about 2 months per character). That's a pretty long time and we are very sure there would be changes in people's lives, a new baby, cutting down on collection etc which means we will end up with uneven pieces that can never be a complete set. Example, if we sold 5 out of 6, chances are no one would buy that last piece because they can't complete the set or it's not their fav character. This means we will have many different characters in the warehouse making logistics a nightmare as well as many requests simply asking for the A listers and not wanting the B listers.
In short, if we sold these as standalone, there will be many incomplete sets with flippers trying to charge exorbitant prices for key pieces (Colossus eg). We don't want a mess like that so we're keeping it simple, buy the wholeset, we will ship the whole set at the same time. It's meant to be a diorama, not standalaone pieces anyway."
So don't get any expectations about figures being sold alone, because that's not going to happen. The images may be from preliminary studies for the Diorama.
