In Getter Robo Armageddon,  Shin Getter is Professor Saotome&#039;s ultimate creation during the  prologue of the story. After breaking through a group of mass-produced Getter Robo Gs, Ryoma Nagare and Hayato Jin find it inside the Saotome Laboratory along with Go &quot;Saotome&quot;, the  professor&#039;s genetically engineered &quot;son&quot;. When the trio learns that the  military has launched a nuclear warhead at the newly-formed Shin Dragon, they use Shin Getter in an attempt to  stop the attack, but ultimately fail, causing a Getter Ray  contamination that kills most of the planet&#039;s population. Several years  later, when the story picks up again, Shin Getter is piloted by Go, Kei  Kuruma (Getter teammate Benkei Kuruma&#039;s  adopted daughter) and Gai. They use Shin Getter until Shin Dragon joins  them willingly to fight the Invaders, at which point Ryoma, Hayato and  Benkei take up the piloting duties for Shin Getter. The two Getters  combine their energy to create incredible attacks, capable of  destroying Jupiter and its Invader-infected moons, but Shin Getter ends up stranded in  another dimension, fighting alongside Getters from other universes for  all eternity.

 <label><p>This version of Getter Dragon is an updated version that appeared in the 1998 OVA series "Change!! Getter Robo" or "Getter Robo: Armageddon" as it is known in the west.</p>
<p>A lot of people, myself included, did not like Getter Robo Armageddon. I thought it was too confusing, and it was based on a continuity I was not familiar with. The opening few episodes were alright, but once the Nuclear Warheads destroyed civilization, it was all pretty much crap.</p>
<p>One of the redeeming aspects of the series was the opportunity to see the original Getter Robo fight against an army of mass-produced Getter Dragons. It's pretty awesome, although all of the Getter D robots get their asses handed to them.</p>

<p>That new version of Getter Dragon is due to get a SOC version, but Kaiyodo beat Bandai to the punch by releasing this Revoltech version.</p>

<p>The Revoltech Getter Dragon is a cool little toy. Revoltech joints are all over the figure, making for a wide range of motion and poses. </p>

<p>To replicate the boomerang attack, Kaiyodo included a dual Getter Tomahawk that can be attached to the stand and be spun manually for visual effect. </p>

</div></p>
<p>An alternate head is included that has an attached Getter Beam ray. It's a nice effect, and having it permanently attached to the head keeps from having small peg breakage. For added effect, a small "beam effect" part is included that replicates the effect of the beam on the landscape.</p>

<p>One flaw worth mentioning is the neck articulation. It really can't turn much. This is due to the square shape of the bottom of the neck - when it turns it hits the shoulder shrouds and pops it off.</p>

<p>The full mantle looks good, but you really can’t do anything  in this mode. It’s a neat accessory, but I don’t know if its worth getting if  you already have a Aoshima Getter 1. If you don’t then this is a good place to  start.</p>

 <label><p>The damaged Getter 1 replicates the final scene in the OVA and Manga, where the Getter Core is ripped out and exposed! This is a limited edition, EXCLUSIVE item from <a href="http://safe.anime-export.com/u_productpage.php?section=Diecast&amp;Prodotti_id=4081">Anime-Export</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://safe.anime-export.com/u_productpage.php?section=Diecast&amp;Prodotti_id=4081">Anime-Export</a> is one of the lucky few retailers that has had the opportunity to do exclusive versions of Aoshima toys. For this release, they took the standard Getter 1 (from the new-ish Getter OVA) and decided to replicate the final scene in the series.</p>
<p>Here are some of the features, as described by <a href="http://safe.anime-export.com/u_productpage.php?section=Diecast&amp;Prodotti_id=4081">Anime-Export</a> (hey, why reinvent the wheel?):</p>
<p>"1 - For the first time an Aoshima Shin Seiki Gohkin product will be equipped with interchangeable parts. Two different left arms are included in the box, one of them is the damaged one as seen in the OVA and the manga to reproduce all the Getter poses in its final moments.</p>
<p>2 - Glow in the dark parts (to give the radioactive feeling): chest, Getter Core and the hole in the chest. For the hole in the chest we had to spray the glow in the dark paint instead of injecting it, we can assure you that the final result is GREAT.</p>
<p>3 - The Getter Core is made by a new material to allow the glow in the dark effect and needed to be partially re-sculpted. Tubes were also added.</p>
<p>4 - New accessories: beside the interchangeable left arm, the new Getter Core and the standard set of spare hands (six in total) a new hand to hold the Getter Core has been added, the two Getter Tomahawk are painted in a new weathering style and an exclusive bonus figure of Musashi Tomoe that is the solely Getter pilot in this final battle. </p>
<p>Production quantity: This item will be produced only in 1500 pieces, each one of them will have a sticker with the serial number on it (ex. 0001/1500) to certify the limited production run. </p>
<p>Paint: we took so long to put this item in production because of the huge paint-job required. We have been turned down two times by the factory that told us that this model was "undo-able". Finally we studied a new paint-job system and we were allowed to start the production. A normal item is usually completed after 30 to 40 paint steps, for this one over 180 were required... It was a huge task and we really hope you will appreciate it. As for now we can officially declare that there won't be any reissue, recolor or anything else after the first production run (that is common on Anime-Export products by the way) due to the huge costs required for the production.</p>
<p>It is a one-shot item and we consider it our masterpiece so far.. get it now!"</p>
<p>Getter 1 comes in a great color box with full color renderings on the front and back. The sticker denoting the number is on the front.</p>

<p>The paint detail on this damaged version is really nice - it looks like it has been beat to hell. In some places you can actually see brush strokes, but i really don't mind. Its clear a lot of work went into the paint on this. And it really is damaged. The head is missing one of its spikes, and the chest has the guts of Getter 1 spilling out.</p>

<p>From the back, there are plenty of exposed screw holes. I wish these were covered up, but it does give the toy that old school feel.</p>

<p>To replicate the final moments of Getter 1, You need to change the right hand to an open hand, and attach the getter core to the damaged chest section.</p>

<p>Not only do does the Getter Core glow, but so do the eyes, chest panel, wire tips... it is really stunning in the dark.</p>
<p>Included with the Getter 1 is a small figurine of Musashi Tomoe, the sole pilot at the demise of Getter Robo.</p>

<p>I know people tend to shy away from repaints, but I assure you, this is no ordinary repaint. This is almost an entirely new toy, and definitely worth having in your chogokin collection.</p>

<p>The Weathered Version Shin Getter 2 is an <a href="https://safe.anime-export.com/u_productpage.php?section=default&amp;Prodotti_id=4161"><b>Anime-Export</b></a> exclusive. Anime-Export has an arrangement with Aoshima where they can do exclusive versions of their die-cast toys. And what is cool is that they are not just simple repaints - This toy has amazing detail.</p>

<p>All the parts have been weathered in some way. The gloss white finish has been replaced with a matte finish, with faded grey weathering all over the figure. Although the toy is 90% diecast, the plastic has been weathered as well.</p>

<p>I won't go over all the finer points of the figure itself, that was covered well in <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2091">Sanjeev's review</a>. But I will say that this is a fantastic figure. I am just blown away with how cool it is. I thought the thing would have trouble standing up but its really solid. Aoshima has included a couple stands that support the drill and the figure, but you don't actually need them.</p>

<p>The arms and legs have that Aoshima extending joint thing, which works really well with this release. The drill arm has a rotating spiked band, and the other arm features an articulated claw.</p>

 <label><p>Well, it took about seven years and almost 20 SG's to get around to it...but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getter_Robo_Armageddon">Getter Robo Armageddon</a> fans finally have the next edition of the ultimate machine, Shin Getter 2. Brought to us by <a href="http://www.hlj.com/">HobbyLink Japan</a>, Shin Getter 2's primary feature is no different from the other super robots of the <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/taxonomy/term/197">Shin Seiki Gokin</a> line: gobs and gobs of lickable diecast metal! Yup, this thing's a heavyweight, despite it's shrimpy anatomy.</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/01.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/101071-6/01.jpg" width="500" height="375" class="giThumbnail" alt="01.jpg" longdesc=""/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>First, let's start with the packaging.</div>
<p><br></p>
<p>Y'know, it's <i>very</i> easy to overlook packaging when it comes to toys--especially new ones. With vintage toys, one is almost <i>obliged</i> to take it all in--to enjoy every square inch of printed graphics. By the very nature of "vintage", it is rare and limited, so every part of the toy experience becomes special. Not so with new toys. So many new toys' packaging is taken for granted and not shown the same sort of respect given to vintage toys. Afterall, new toys aren't often particularly hard to get or limited in any way. That lack of respect is a shame, too, because some of these boxes are great!</p>
<p>One thing that's always impressed me about Aoshima's super robot offerings was the care shown in developing the packaging. The front of the box features a photo of the toy in the foreground, with a drawing of the robot in the background. Nothing too ground-breaking here--especially since such a layout is fairly common in modern toys--but the simplicity of the formula really works with this toy.</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/02.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/101072-6/02.jpg" width="500" height="375" class="giThumbnail" alt="02.jpg" longdesc=""/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>The back of the box features images of the toy, showing off its considerable diecast content and gimmicks. The layout of the back isn't as impressive as the front, but it's good 'nuff.</div>
<p><br></p>
<p>Upon opening the box, the collector is treated to the <b>only</b> packaging material worthy of heroic chogokin: styrofoam. Okay, there are probably plenty of cogent arguments <i>against</i> the use of styrofoam for environmental reasons, but lemme tell ya, this pretty much beats the dogsnot outta any <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/taxonomy/term/199">SoC</a> packaging. The plastic trays we’ve grown accustomed to with most modern toys are just throw-away items, lacking any thoughtfulness or creativity. They just add to the clutter. Aoshima takes us back to the old-school with squeaky styrofoam coffins to house your lustrous, glossy gokin.</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/05.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/101075-6/05.jpg" width="500" height="375" class="giThumbnail" alt="05.jpg" longdesc=""/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>Once you’ve freed Shin Getter 2 from its tray, you have a decent, solid figure. The heft is impressive for the robot’s slender physique (remember, check out the <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/02.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1">back of the box to see what parts are diecast</a>). The head is PVC and the firing drill, claw, and red jets on the back are all plastic.</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/10.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/101080-6/10.jpg" width="500" height="375" class="giThumbnail" alt="10.jpg" longdesc=""/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>The sharp bits on the design are hard plastic and are <b>very</b> sharp! No, I’m not afraid of breaking them...I’m afraid of drawing blood! Also one detail of note: the translucent red plastic over the sculpted internal machine bits on the chest is WAY too dark to get a decent view of the stuff underneath...just a minor gripe.</p>
<p>Okay...so, how do the joints hold up?</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/06.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/101076-6/06.jpg" width="500" height="667" class="giThumbnail" alt="06.jpg" longdesc=""/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>The answer is meh. Not horrible, mind you...just not particularly great. The ankles are ball-n-socket joints and the hips have a similar range of movement. The knees rotate and bend as expected. All of these joints are okay in terms of tightness. They seem to hold up to a decent amount of posing...but it’s tough to tell if they’ll always remain this way. If they ever wear down and their strength is ever compromised, the whole toy’s boned. There’s just too much weight up top.</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/11.jpg.html" >

    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>Notice that I had to stand Shin Getter 2 on a CD case in some of my pics. My light tent sits on top of a padded card table--way too mushy for this toy to balance solidly in the pose above. This annoyed me at first...but then again, that <i>is</i> a precarious position! As long as the toy’s on a hard, flat surface, it’s all good.</p>
<p>Moving on up, we have the love-em or hate-em classic Aoshima extending elbows! If you’re at all familiar with <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/632">Mazinkaiser</a>, <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/1218">Getter 1</a>, or some of their other super robots, the actual elbow joints need to be exposed by pulling down on the forearms.</p>

<p>Hey, works for me--and these joints are extremely tight. The left-hand claw is nicely articulated; again, nice and tight. And next, we have the shoulders. These really impressed me: finally, we have actual detents. The detents are big, so we don’t get a <i>super</i>-wide range of motion, but they certainly get the job done. The toy comes with a small silver stand to help support the weight of the right-hand drill arm. I don’t have it pictured anywhere because <i>you’ll never need it!</i> The detents in the shoulders are super-strong--they won't droop even though the drill is diecast!</p>
<p>Lastly, the PVC head sits atop a ball joint. A few more points about articulation...first, the shoulder, while having detents when swinging front to back, actually <i>don’t</i> have any detents when swinging out to the side. Just a friction joint here that has mediocre strength. Next, Shin Getter 2’s red jets on his back are jointed...kind of a nice touch. And lastly, there’s no waist joint. Kind of an odd omission. Oh well.

<p><br></p>
<p>Next up, we have gimmicks. Well...not much to say here...unless you count the awesome diecast content as a "gimmick"! ;)</p>
<p>Okay...there IS one thing: the drill missile. Again, if you’re familiar with Aoshima’s previous <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/632">Mazinkaiser</a> offering, you know about the pathetic turbo smasher punch. Basically, you can remove the arms (at the shoulders) and replace them with shooty arms, featuring a gimmick where you basically screw the forearms on to store up rotational energy. When you hit the firing button, the forearms spin really fast as they shoot off...about 4 inches. Yeah. Sucks.</p>
<p>Well, guess what! Shin Getter 2’s drill missile is NO different! You still replace the whole arm, screw in the drill missile, then let 'er rip...about 4 inches. <i>*Sigh*</i></p>
<p>That accessory’s staying boxed away.</p>
<p>...Which brings us to our last category: accessories! Besides the aforementioned drill missile arm, the toy comes with two stands. The one I noted earlier for supporting the drill arm just isn’t necessary at all. The other one, however, is kinda neat. It fits right up in the robot’s crotch to help it keep balance on your shelf. Yeah, I know it looks uncomfortable, but it’s actually kinda cool. First, it’s a two-part, spring-loaded stand. The top half of the stand can be pushed into the wider bottom half, allowing for more dynamic posing of the toy, while still exerting a decent amount of pressure on his...cyber-prostate...to keep him upright! Also, the stand is actually magnetic so that it actually sticks...all up in there. Poor robot.</p>
<p><br></p>

    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>Lastly, we have a little, miserably-painted PVC figurine of Hayato, the main Shin Getter 2 pilot from the anime. The sculpt is mushy and lacks definition and the paint application is pretty awful...but really, who cares? Of everyone I know who has any of these toys, none of them even bothers displaying these figurines. ...I’m sure maybe someone, somewhere, gives a crap...</p>
<p><br></p>
<div align="center"><div class ="giImageBlock nowrap"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Aoshima/ShinGetter2/21.jpg.html" >

    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>So, in the final analysis, we have a gorgeous toy, well in keeping with the look of the first <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/496">Shin Getter 1</a> figure. The joints are subpar, and even a perhaps bit worrisome. Strong, fine detents--like in the <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2062">Fewture Mazinger</a> toy--would have been welcome in all the major joints of this figure because of its awkward distribution of weight. Still, it’s a good toy...at least alongside it’s more famous brother. And more importantly: this could be a sign that Aoshima is going to make a Shin Getter 3 to complete the set! And let's hope for some heavy diecast Get Machines, too!</p>

 <label><p>I’ve always felt that this Getter design was a reaction to  the heavy Spawn craze in Japan  in the early 90s. Toy collecting was not a huge deal in Japan, at  least, not outside of hardcore Otaku. But when the Spawn figures hit, a whole  new wave began. People started collecting toys again, and the Spawn aesthetic  slowly infiltrated Japanese toys. Its influence can be seen to this day in toy  lines like S.I.C. (Super Imaginative Chogokin).  I can see this influence in the design of Shin  Getter 1, from the large black wings to the exaggerated forearm blades.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081490.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97836-5/PB081490.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>

<p>Shin Getter Robo First made its appearance in a 1993 Manga  called Getter Robo Go, but didn’t become animated until 1998’s Change!! Getter  Robo (Released as Getter Robo Armageddon). The new modern design gained Getter  Robo a whole new legion of fans, while alienating some fans of the original  1970s show.</p>
<p>The design has been made into toy form many times in the  past, most notable is the <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/496">Aoshima  / Miracle House version</a>. This diecast monstrosity is practically a weapon,  with loads of diecast and sharp details. Howver, with its hefty price tag, this  toy is not for everyone.</p>
<p>Kaiyodo throws its hat into the ring with a Revoltech  version of the Shin Getter Robo, available from <strong><a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01152">HobbyLink Japan</a></strong>.  How does Shin Getter transition to the Revoltech format? Let’s find out.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081486.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97832-5/PB081486.jpg" width="497" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>Shin Getter features a stunning 44 points of articulation  made up of a combination of Revoltech joints and traditional cut joints. The  large purple wings are connected to the body with Revoltech joints and ship  unattached. Other accessories include a 2-piece Getter Tomahawk, Stoner Sun  Shine effect parts, four extra hands and a display base.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081494.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97840-5/PB081494.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>Articulation is really great, but it is one of those toys  that seems impossible to do a neutral pose with. The feet are connected in such  a a way that it makes it all but impossible to make him stand up straight. I  guess that’s what the stand is there for, might as well use it.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081485.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97831-5/PB081485.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>The Getter Tomahawk is large and all plastic. It comes  shipped in two pieces and you have to put it together. Shin Getter comes with  optional hands so you can hold the tomahawk with one or two hands.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081497.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97843-5/PB081497.jpg" width="640" height="480" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>The Stoner Sun Shine is an energy weapon that manifests out  of Shin Getter’s palm. Included is a special hand with a hole in it to attach  the energy ball to, and then the blast part of the energy attaches to that.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081501.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97847-5/PB081501.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>Pay careful attention around the sharp points of this toy.  The wing tips and arm blades are very sharp and made out of hard plastic. You  could definitely puncture skin with them.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081487.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97833-5/PB081487.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>The display stand is your typical Revoltech stand – three parts  and a Revoltech joint. The joint attaches at the back of the figure so you can  put Shin Getter into flying poses.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/sg1/PB081499.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/97845-5/PB081499.jpg" width="640" height="480" class="giThumbnail" alt="Shin Getter-1" longdesc="Shin Getter-1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>In all, it’s a pretty cool figure. I know a lot of you  collectors already have a few Shin Getter designs in your collection, but if  you are a fan, you should definitely check this one out.</p>

Ryoma made several improvements to the Getter  design, and the robot can now be piloted by one person instead of 3.  Unfortunately, Black Getter can no longer split apart into the three getter  ships, but he more than makes up for it with his advanced firepower.</p>

<p>The Revoltech Black Getter is basically a remolded Getter  Robo with some extra accessories. The chest, upper arms and upper legs are  identical. Black getter sports a new head, hands, accessories and color scheme.</p>

<p>Included accessories are:</p>

  <li>44       Magnum Shikishima SP</li>
  <li>Strike       Gun</li>
  <li>two       Getter Tomahawks</li>

  <li>Getter       Wing</li>
  <li>three       pairs of optional hands</li>
  <li>display       base with a joint arm</li>
</ul>
<p>Black Getter is of course fully poseable with 30 points or  articulation. The design of the feet make getting him to stand on his own  tricky, but the included stand makes this a non-issue. Black Getter can easily  hold his weapons in either hand.</p>

<p>One set of hands includes the notorious spiked knuckles.  Unfortunately, my Black Getter came with 2 right hands! Fortunately I got mine  at  <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01144"><strong>HobbyLink Japan</strong></a>  and they said that if anyone ever has a problem like this to contact them, and  they will get the replacement part from the manufacturer and send it to you,  free of charge.</p>

 <label><p>It's official, I have completely lost track of the Getter Robots. </p>
<p>For those of you playing along at home, we have:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Getter Robo</li>
  <li>Getter Robo G</li>
  <li>Getter Robo Go</li>
  <li>Shin Getter Robo</li>
  <li>Neo Getter </li>
  <li>New Getter Robo</li>
  <li>Black Getter </li>
</ul>
<p>And now we have this Getter Robo, which I believe is called &quot;New (Change!!)
  Getter Robo.&quot; I haven't seen a Getter anime since Getter Robo: Armageddon,
  and that melted my brain. This is likely the robot from &quot;New Getter Robo&quot;,
  released in 2004, but who can tell anymore?</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206452.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/84627-6/P7206452.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 1" longdesc="Getter 1"/>

<p>Regardless of its origins, Getter 1 is one of the latest releases in the popular
  Revoltech franchise. Fans have been waiting for the classic super robots to
  be part of the Revoltech line, but we keep getting teased with the new versions
  of the old characters. Getter 1 is the closest we have gotten so far. It's
  not a bad figure, but it's not breaking any new ground.</p>
<p>Getter 1 comes courtesy of <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01135"><strong>HobbyLink
Japan</strong></a></p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206455.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/84629-6/P7206455.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 1" longdesc="Getter 1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>Getter 1 features 16 points of articulation - 10 of which are Revoltech joints.
  Kaiyodo made some odd choices here in terms of which joints got the revolver
  joints. For example - those round red shoulders seem to cry out for revoltech
  joints, but instead are 2 monoshaft joints. There's no swiveling waist joint,
  but there is a chest joint. The neck you would think would use the dual Revoltech
  joint, but only uses one (and it's kind of loose).</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206458.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/84631-6/P7206458.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 1" longdesc="Getter 1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>In terms of accessories, Getter 1 comes with:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Getter Machine Guns x2</li>
  <li>Getter Tomahawk x2</li>
  <li>Getter Wing</li>
  <li>Open Hands x2</li>
  <li>Gun Holding Hands x3</li>
  <li>Knuckle Hand</li>
  <li>Flat Hand</li>
  <li>Stand (4 pcs)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Getter Machine guns and Getter Tomahawks fit snugly into the hands. The
  guns have some nice detail and look menacing.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206453.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/84628-4/P7206453.jpg" width="640" height="474" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 1" longdesc="Getter 1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>I found the Getter Wing a bit confusing - there are no instructions as to
  how to attach it to the figure, and the box art isn't clear. After some playing
  around I figured out that it basically wedges itself to the back of the shoulder
  armor.</p>
<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206461.jpg.html" >

    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>


<P>I was also left clueless about the knuckle fist and flat hand. The knuckle
  fist is just that - a closed fist with one knuckle out farther than the others.
  No where does it describe what these are for. Perhaps If I had seen the anime?</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206465.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/84636-4/P7206465.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 1" longdesc="Getter 1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>


<P>
  And what is up with the two holes on the back - is there any purpose for those?
  Maybe they get used in the black getter sculpt? They distract from an otherwise
  beautiful figure.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/OVAGetter/P7206466.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/84637-4/P7206466.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 1" longdesc="Getter 1"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>Make no mistake, Getter 1 is a nice toy. Good quality, good articulation,
  good play value. It just leaves me scratching my head a little trying to figure
  out some of the decisions they made. Perhaps I am too critical... The casual
  fan, and the Getter Robo collector should really dig this figure. You get get
  your very own at <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01135"><strong>HobbyLink
  Japan</strong></a>. </p>

<p> Getter 2  is built for speed, and it is evident in the design. Clean lines and a sleek  profile help Getter 2 scream through the sky.</p>

<p> In regards  to Revoltech joints, this figure has 12 joints in it and one on the stand, for  a total of 13 joints.</p>

<p> Getter 2  has no accessories aside from a stand. But when you have a giant drill for one  hand and a giant claw for another, do you really need any? The claw hand  rotates and each claw is articulated. The drill moves, and is sharp as hell.</p>

<p>  Not much  else to say about this one, it&rsquo;s awesome looking, and if you are getting the Getters,  you gotta get Getter 2!</p>

 Instead of legs, the Getter 3 has three treads to move  around on. While the treads here are just solid molded plastic, the Revoltech  joints add in an extra level of articulation that you wouldn&amp;rsquo;t expect with a  figure like this.:

<p>How many different Getter Robo series are there now? For  most of us old-school fans there is only Getter Robo and Getter Robo G (aka  Starvengers from Force 5). There have been several incarnations of Getter Robo  since then, including Shin Getter, New Getter, Neo Getter&hellip; The list goes on.  And with all these new anime series we have also gotten new toys. The thing is,  all of the toys have been of the same. Damn. Character.</p>
<p>Getter 1.</p>
<p>Well, the cool cats at Kaiyodo have done what we have waited  so long for &ndash; they made toys of the other Getters! The Revoltech series has not  only done Getter 1 from New Getter Robo, but they have made Getter 2 and 3 as  well! It&rsquo;s about time those other Getter modes got some love.</p>

<p>The Getter 3 Revoltech toy is a really unique thing.</p>

  <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01080">Revoltech Series No. 017 Super Robot Type Shin Getter 3</a></p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/Getter3/PC172414.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/58407-3/PC172414.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 3" longdesc="Getter 3"/>

<p>Instead of legs, the Getter 3 has three treads to move  around on. While the treads here are just solid molded plastic, the Revoltech  joints add in an extra level of articulation that you wouldn&rsquo;t expect with a  figure like this.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/Getter3/PC172418.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/58411-3/PC172418.jpg" width="640" height="480" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 3" longdesc="Getter 3"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>Getter 3 has 12 or 14 Revoltech joints, depending on how he  is displayed. The head, chest, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and feet  all have Revoltech joints.</p>
<p>In terms of accessories, Getter 3 does not have many, but  what it has is pretty cool. The figure comes with one set of extra hands, and  additional arm sections. You can add the arm section at the shoulder and it  gives the appearance that Getter 3 can stretch his arms out to great lengths.  This also gives the figure two extra Revoltech joints, hence the 14 joints.</p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/Getter3/PC172421.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/58413-3/PC172421.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 3" longdesc="Getter 3"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>

<p>The legs are pretty interesting. The rear leg is fixed and  attached to the body, and acts as the pivot point that supports the other two  legs. Each leg has a Revoltech joint at the hip, knee and then at the front of  the tread where it meets the leg. They are challenging to pose nicely, and you  can&rsquo;t really do a lot with them, but they look damn cool.</p>
<p>The figure can also go into a sort of battle tank mode,  where it gets crouched down and points its shoulder missile launchers forward. </p>

<div class ="giImageBlock g2image_centered"><div class="one-image">
  
                              <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Toys/Kaiyodo/Revoltech/Getter3/PC172416.jpg.html" >
  
      <img src="http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/58409-3/PC172416.jpg" width="480" height="640" class="giThumbnail" alt="Getter 3" longdesc="Getter 3"/>
    </a>
  
  
   </div>
</div>
<p>This is a pretty cool figure, but I really wish the treads  worked. I understand at a 1,900 yen price point this isn&rsquo;t realistic, but it  would have been cool.</p>
<p>Now all I need is Getter 2 to complete the set! Santa, are  you listening?</p>
