Getter Robo G
Getter Robo G (ゲッターロボG - Gettâ Robo Jî) is a Super Robot anime series created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa and produced by Toei Animation. This direct sequel to Getter Robo was broadcast on NET (now TV Asahi) from May 15, 1975 to March 25, 1976, with a total of 39 episodes (some episodes were rebroadcast, erroneously giving the impression that there were 43 episodes).
People familiar with Mattel's popular Shogun Warriors toy collection will remember all three of Getter Robo G's robot formations in that toy line: Getter Dragon (Dragun), Getter Liger (Raider) and Getter Poseidon (Poseidon). As a result of the popularity of these toys in the US, Jim Terry included this series in his Force Five anime lineup under the title of Starvengers. The original Getter Robo series, however, has yet to appear in the US. (Wikipedia)

Popy's final Getter Robo G Jumbo, Poseidon gets more love here than in it's homeland.

Of all the Getter Robo Jumbos, I like this one the best.

The original Japanese version of the popular Shogun Warriors toy.

A very ugly toy, but it has a certain pathetic charm I just can't resist.

This version of Getter Dragun is very slightly smaller than the Popy version and although it is nowhere near the same quality, it's a very interesting and different take on a popular character.

In 2002 Marmit released a series of scaled down reproductions of classic Tin Robot toys. Retailing for 4800 yen, these reproductions are the perfect way to get some tin without spending a ton of dough.
