Argh! On the one hand, it's "exclusive" and in my line of interest more than any other SDCC collectible. On the other hand, it's Getter Robo, my least favorite of any of the SOC characters. I almost wanna get this on principle, but ugh. Getter Robo?! For the American market? Make sense much?

Yeah, it would have made more sense if it was a Getter Dragon or something. Fortunately I love Getter Robo and all its incarnations. If I see one on sale it will belong to me.

What a waste of material and time!

I would have preferred a Soul of Chogokin Daitan 3 or an Albegas or a Goshogun or a Daltanious or a......etc.

I tend to boycott black versions or silver versions or gold versions or metallic versions.

Normal colour is the BEST. Take the S.P.E.C. EVAs for instance and compare them with the first Soul of Chogokin EVAs.

Okay Okay they had more metal but the S.P.E.C ones rock.
