Neo Getter 1 is another quality Revoltech release, available from HobbyLink Japan.

Neo Getter Robo comes from an alternate universe, different than the one that the Revoltech Getter Dragon comes from. It's an entirely different series from Getter Robo: Armageddon.

The toy comes from the series Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo, a four-disc Japanese OVA from 2000.

Personally I am a big fan of the Neo Getter designs. They seem right at home with the classic Getter aesthetic. I only wish we would get designs of Neo Getter 2 and 3. And while we are on the subject, where the hell is my Texas Mac Revoltech?

Neo Getter 1 Revoltech arrives courtesy of HobbyLink Japan.

So the toy is cool, as you would expect, and there are a few neat things they have done with it.

The back of the legs have collapsable panels that enables Neo Getter 1 to achieve more dynamic poses.

Neo Getter comes with a few accessories:

• two pairs of optional hands
• chain knuckles
• Plasma Thunder
• chain knuckle effect
• knife holder
• knife
• machine gun
• shoulder missile launchers
• display base with joint arm

The included option hands are the standard fare - gun holding hands and open hands. The open hands have hinged wrists.

The hands can be swapped out with Chain Knuckles - Long chains attached to fired fists. The chains are fixed pose, so you are stuck in they pose they are in. To add to the effect they have added a yellow burst effect that is placed on the arm to make it look like it is firing.

The optional hands can hold either a gun or a knife, and the knife can be stored in a special holder that attaches to the back. Unfortunately, the right holding hand sits loosely in the arm and has a tendency to fall out, something I have never experienced in a Revoltech before.

The Plasma Thunder effect is a large translucent blue energy bolt that attaches to one of the open hands. The part has a peg that fits firmly into the palm of the hand.

Probably the coolest accessory is with the shoulder missile launchers. The launchers attach to the back of the figure and can actually open up. Using a small Revoltech joint as a hinge, you lift the top up and then swing out and rotate a concealed missile.

All of this of course comes with the standard Revoltech stand, coin and container.

It's a Whole Lotta Gokin! Read on, with HD Video Review

We reviewed the original EX-Gokin way back in 2006, but unfortunately I never got my hands on one. I always wanted one though, and when fewture announced a Repaint version, I knew I had to get my hands on one.

Well, thanks to our fine friends at Angolz.com, I now have my sweaty mitts on the new Repaint Version Getter 1.

It's awesome.

The awesomeness comes with a price though. The Getter 1 EX Gokin will run you 24,800 yen, or about $250 USD. There are few cases where I think the price is worth it, and this is one of those cases.

Lets start with the packaging. The entire package is sealed in a slipcase with a monochrome print of the Getter 1. Inside, the outer box is glossy heavy cardboard, that is made out of a lid and the base tray. The fit between the two is so tight that a vacuum is created when you try to separate the two. Inside of that there is a double flap, followed by the toy in styrofoam.

When you first pick up the EX Gokin Getter 1, you are immediately impressed with the weight. It feels as if the entire thing is made out of metal.

The toy is big, much bigger than your standard SOC. All said, it's about 9 inches tall.

There's so much to talk about.

Starting from the top, the head is all PVC, including the double jointed neck. The head has a removable faceplate that is translucent in the right places.

From there down, its mostly metal. The chest is a mix of ABS and diecast parts, but it is very solid. There's lots going on here, so it deserves its own paragraph.

The chest features two removable diecast plates that are held in place with nothing but small pegs and friction. The bottom plate goes under the top plate, both are heavy, thick metal. When you remove the plates you can see the inner skeletal structure, with the core engine of the getter visible. This core is removable.

Moving around to the back, the outer structure is metal, with pegs for three different medallions. these medallions designate the three different Getter machines that make up the Getter 1. You are presented with two different sets of medallions. One uses English numbers (1,2,3) and one uses old Chinese calligraphic symbols. Once in, they are a pain to get out.

Below the chest is a diecast waist. The two are held together with a ball joint that is just a bit too loose for the figure's weight. You could probably take it apart and strengthen it, but you shouldn't have to for $250. The waist features an opening crotch-door that has a removable circular cover. The cover is supposed to be for a translucent green tube, but the tube cannot slide in, so you get both the cover and a tube.

Moving back up to the arms, you get a shoulder joint that a) rotates, b) swivels out and in and c) moves inwards towards the chest. Moving it too far forward will pop off the metal chest plate.

The upper arms are metal, leading to a plastic elbow joint that clicks with movement. The forearms are also metal, and feature a removable panel that can be replaced with the sharp plastic arm blades.

The hands are interchangeable. There are two sets of hands, Open hands and grabbing hands. The grabbing hands are not quite fists, but they are hinged at the knuckles. They feature holes in the palms to attach the Getter Tomahawks.

The hips have great clicky joints that are loose in the forward-backward motion, but SUPER TIGHT in the side to side motion. You might think you were going to break it trying to move the legs out, but they will go, almost to a right angle.

The upper legs are solid metal. The knees are double jointed with a solid metal center. The lower legs are solid metal as well, leading to the feet.

The feet are also solid metal, and are hinged in the toe. The ankles are plastic and metal, and rotate, swivel and bend.

Impressed yet?

Getter 1 also comes with the Getter Wing attachment. You have to remove one of the back medallions, and place the wing in its cavity, then you replace the medallion. The wing is solid ABS plastic. It looks great, but would have been better with a little articulation.

For weaponry, the Getter 1 comes with two Getter Tomahawks. The tomahawks are made out of PVC and feature a ball on the handle that plugs into either hand.

Also included with the set is the Getmachine Eagle. For those not in the know, the Getter Machines are the three ships that combine in various ways to create the three Getter robots. Technically the Getter 1 and the Getmachine can't exist together because they are the same, but who cares really.

The Getmachine ship is also metal, and is a fine toy on its own right. The chest and underside plates are metal and are removable, revealing the inner workings. The rear engines (which form the arms) are articulated and can be moved out to the side to replicate the ship as it looks during combination. You can even attach another set of arm blades and even the hands for more effect. They even included extra medallions to place on the vehicle as well.

The toy includes a stand, but I didn't bother to take it out of the package. It's unnecessary. The figure stands fine on its own.

So you may have read the part above that says "Repaint version". So what is different from the 2006 version? Well, not much. Mostly there is slightly different paint applications, such as the white on the body being turned a slight grey, and the yellow eyes turned white. If you missed the first run, this one looks pretty much the same.

This toy is a masterwork. There are a few small flaws, but it is absolutely gorgeous and full of metal. The two weak points are the easily popped-off chest plate and the loose chest joint. I can overlook that though, because the rest of the toy is sheer awesome. The finish is perfect with an automotive like sheen.

If you collect gokin, and can tolerate the high-end pricing, do not miss this one. These appreciate in value like crazy, so if you wait, expect to pay more.

You can get the EX Gokin Getter 1, and the other EX Gokins, at Angolz.com

This is a cool toy, not so much for what it is, but for what it means.

This is a cool toy, not so much for what it is, but for what it means.

On the surface it is a redeco of the old GX-06 Getter Robo set, but this time it is just Getter 1 all by his loneseome. It's essentially the same toy as the GX-06, with different color and material. The metal content has remained the same.

What makes this special though, is that it is a collaboration between US toymaker Toynami and JP toymaker Bandai. This toy was an exclusive at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, and was limited to 500 pcs. This is the first time a Soul of Chogokin toy has been offered as an exclusive to the American market. The toy was later released as a Bandai Tamashii web shop exclusive, but still, we got it first.

This collaboration between Bandai and Toynami is remarkable for several reasons. First, it shows that Bandai Japan recognizes and understands that there is a domestic market (at least they did when they planned this). They also decided to bypass the logical choice of Bandai America in favor of the collector-focused Toynami. BA would likely try to re-mold or change the toys for a more general audience where Toynami is more likely to keep them intact.

There was a lot of talk at the time about bringing future SOC releases to the US through Toynami, but as of this writing, this has been the only release.

The packaging for this release is new and unique to the US market. A monochrome red box with the Toynami logo on it holds an old-school styro tray. Very cool.

Here's to Toynami bringing more SOC exclusives to the US.

Get Get Gettaa! Gettaa Robo!

Even though we have had a ton of Getter robots reviewed here on CDX, we've really not talked much about the relevance of Getter Robo. Getter Robo is one of the Super Robot Icons.

Alongside Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, Getter Robo fought on the airwaves of Japanese television in the early 70s. It had the fortune of being part of the massive merchandising wave that accompanied the shows of those days. It was like Toei had a direct link to what every 5 year old boy in 1974 wanted.

Getter Robo is important for many reasons, but largely because it was the first series to feature a combining robot. Getter Robo is a robot made by the combination of three ships - Getter Jaguar, Getter Bear and Getter Eagle. Depending on which order they combined, you got a different Getter Robo - Getter 1, 2, and 3. All three Getters got toys, but Getter 1 was by far the most popular, and the one who always finished the bad guy in the end.

Getter Robo never aired in the US, but its direct sequel, Getter Robo G, was aired in the US as part of Jim Terry's Force Five, renamed Starvengers. In fact, the first scene from the first episode of Getter Robo G shows Getter 1 burning up in flames. Toys from Getter Robo G would also reach the states in Mattel's Shogun Warriors line of toys.

The Chogokin line of toys was launched with the GA-01, Mazinger Z. The figure was a runaway success, so naturally, other toys in the line would follow, and the next up was GA-02, Getter 1. The toy was a full on chogokin - die cast metal and full of firing gimmicks.

Instead of firing fists, Getter 1 got fists that were simply removable. However one fist featured an axe-launching action.

Another gimmick was the spring loaded head. Push the head down and then press the button on the back and the head launches up, just like in the show.

The toy had a very folk-art feel. The metal was rough, the decals never wrapped quite right, and the sculpt was far from anime accurate. But it was Getter 1, and that was enough to inspire generations to come.

Being the Second chogokin, one would assume that obtaining this piece would set you back a tidy sum. Well, yeah, it will. But here's the thing. In the late 90s (early 2000's maybe?), an unscrupulous toy dealer in Hong Kong began making near-perfect reproductions of the GA-02. The reproduction is almost identical, right down to the box and packaging foam, making differentiating a bootleg from an original an arduous task. But this HK bootleg company did not stop there. In a surprising move, they also bootlegged the second version Getter 1 (with blue shoulders), and even released a training colors version - shown in the TV show but never made into a toy. Below is a handy guide to the differences between the two. (there aren't many).

Special thanks again to Joshua Fraser for allowing me to shoot this piece for CollectionDX.

Another super robot talker that doesn't quite fill me with joy, I think I just realized that the talker format works better for Tokusatsu heroes.

The Getter 1 talker is really the runt of the lineup, checking it at only 12" tall whereas most others in the series are closer to 15". He'd probably be even smaller if his head wasn't so huge. This guy is super deformed before there was such a thing as super deformed. It's a shame too because the sculpt of the head is good and the sculpt of the body is good but the sizes just don't match up. This could have been a really neat toy if the proportions were not so skewed.

Like most of the toys in this line, it's articulated at the hips, shoulders and neck and you pull a string from the back to make it talk. Even if I understood Japanese, I couldn't tell you what it says because the talk box on mine is broken. This has been a pretty common complaint with the re-issues of these toys. Evidently they are very prone to failure. I bought this one cheaply with full knowledge of it's condition, but I have another that I bought brand new in box that failed to work the very first time I pulled the string. I do not own any vintage talkers, but by all accounts, they were much higher quality.

Although it's not the best rendition of the character ever made, it's still a decent pickup for the Getter Robo fan. Unfortunately, Masudaya (nor any other company) ever made talkers of Getter 2 or Getter 3, though.

So here comes the review for the Getter 3, the last one from this series and probably one of the most "funky" Machinders!

Fuji TV broadcast the original Getter Robo(ゲッターロボ) anime from April 4, 1974 to May 8, 1975. The show featured three vehicles which could combine to form three different robots, called Getter 1, Getter 2 and Getter 3. The show was very popular and all three robots were released as Jumbo Machinders in 1974.

What makes this Machinder so different from the others? Well, it's certainly because he doesn't have legs! Instead, he's built on a white tank which is supposed to mimic the head of Getter 2. The treads on the sides are molded in one piece, so nothing moves there, but there's two pairs of wheels underneath to make him ride on the ground. The front part of the tank is a separate piece. On my specimen you can pull it a bit, but I'm not sure this was made on purpose. On the back of the tank there's two little red reactor made of plastic.

Compared to the two other Getter Jumbos, this one is the rarest and really hard to find. Maybe one of the hardest of all Machinder heroes to find. Like the two others he's quite simple in design. Well, simple but clearly nothing to do with any other exisitng Machinder. But this is more due to the design of the robot itself. So first let's talk about the color. Getta 1 and Getter 2 had a different color scheme than in the original anime serie, but strangely Getter 3 is exactly like the anime.

As for articulation, you can only rotate his shoulders. You can also rotate the missile launcher to adjust to your target. Those missiles launchers are really unique. No other Jumbo shares the same mechanism and missiles. You put the missile in the launcher and it's held by two little hooks which you have to press to release the missile. Most loose specimens are missing those missiles and it's really hard to find them separately.

One of the interesting things about this little guy is his red body. It's made of a thin layer of plastic wrapped around the main yellow part. There's dark green stickers on the chest made of paper, quite similar of those on Getter 1. There's something specific with the stickers of both Getter 1 and 3. They were made out of different paper as the other Machinders, which results in a lot of cracks generated by the passing of time and storage conditions. Most specimen have those cracks in the stickers and finding one without will probably result in a higher price. The belt sticker is different from his two big brothers. There's an inversion of colors, so the background of the stickers is chrome and the letters black with the same layout and fonts as Getter 1 and 2. There's also two stickers on the head, one black line on the upper part of the head and one with eyes printed on it. This is interesting because from all Machinders, only him and Getter Poseidon have stickers on their heads instead of paint.

Like the rest of the Getter family, you can separate him in two parts by pressing a tab on the front and back waist. You can see in the pictures how he looks on the other lower part of his brothers. One funny thing about doing that is that his upper body part is quite tall, so when you put him on a regular pair of legs, this little guy becomes quite tall. Playing with them like that was not easy, Getta 3 body was a bit difficult to fit in Getta 2 legs. Well, with my specimen at least so this is probably not a defined rule.

Getter 3 body on Getter 2 legs

So what make this Getter 3 so rare? Well, there's some theory saying that this robot didn't meet the same success as the other Getters, so fewer specimens where sold at the time, and then it's harder to find him today. And like in most collecting, when something is rare, it's quite expensive. This little guy is quite a challenge to acquire. The smallest Machinder and probably one of the most expensive, a strange paradox. But sometimes both the top and bottom parts of this toy can be seen for sale separately. Buying one half and then waiting for the other to show up can be a nice way to try to get this toy more cheaply. This can be a gamble though because you just never know when that other half will appear!

When I started collecting Machinders, I was a lightyear away from thinking that one day I'll have one. Luck was with me one day and I had an opportunity to get him at a decent price. It made me realize that with patience and some luck you can go far in this hobby.

So in conlusion, he's the most "goofy" machinder with his small size and straight look, but clearly one of the most interesting characters from the line. He's also a major piece in any collection.

If you like simple design, a bit more organic shapes, this JM is for you.

Fuji TV broadcast the original Getter Robo (ゲッターロボ) anime from April 4, 1974 to May 8, 1975. The show featured three vehicles which could combine to form three different robots, called Getter 1, Getter 2 and Getter 3. The show was very popular and all three robots were released as Jumbo Machinders in 1974.

Compared to Getter 1, Getter 2 is also easy to find. Some would even say it's easier to find than Getter 1, it's really depending of the market in fact but they're defenitively quite close.

Like his big brother, he's really simple in terms of design, sharing almost the same colors, with a darker blue for the upper part on the chest. It has two pairs of wheels on each feet and is articulated like most of the Machinder from the early production. The neck and shoulders rotate and that's mainly it.

Two interesting things about this Machinder: first, he has a more feminine shape than most of the other jumbos. His legs are thinner and not straight like the others and the lower part of the legs have some kind of "wings" on each side. His pelvis is really small compare to most of the JM. The second thing, it's the only Machinder who doesn't have any hands. One arm ends with a big orange driller and the other one with a giant claw. None are articulated but it gives a singular look to this Jumbo.

Also, one interesting thing is that it's probably the only Machinder to have no stickers except the one on the belt. The belt sticker is the same as Getter 1, black background and chrome lettering with a big number 2. The specimen displayed here has a repro belt, so the size of the writing on the belt is probably not accurate.

Like the two other Getters, he can be separated in two parts by pressing a tab on the front and back waist. You can see in the pictures how he looks on the other lower part of his brothers.

Most of the loose specimens I've seen didn't have the belt sticker. Compared to other Popy Jumbo Machinders, it's one of the cheaper and probably one of the first you'll hit if you decide to start collecting the Japanese Jumbo line.

So in conclusion, if you like simple design, a bit more organic shapes, this JM is for you.

Fewture Getter 2 is the third figure to be released after Fewture Getter 1 Black (a rare limited edition) and Fewture Getter 1 (red, regular edition).

The Fewture Getter Series has been the most exciting modernization of the classics I have ever seen. The designs were created by Taku Sato, who unfortunately passed away the same year that this series was released. Although Taku Sato has passed on, his legacy will be forever set in diecast.

Fewture Getter 2 is the third figure to be released after Fewture Getter 1 Black (a rare limited edition) and Fewture Getter 1 (red, regular edition).

Let me first comment on all the negatives on this figure:

1. This figure is EXPENSIVE! And you may want to think twice on this series, there are the three regular Fewture Getter’s (Getter 1, Getter 2, and Getter 3), and the very limited Black Getter (which is even more expensive). This adds up to be one costly series.
   
2. This figure you’ll find has some balance issues. It’s not horrible or impossible to have a free standing pose on this figure, but I wouldn’t advise displaying the figure without support. But the balance varies on what you display with. With Getter 2 having its chest cavity open, it is very unstable. Getter 2 was definitely balanced with the chest plate on. Displaying the figure with the drill arm (either the large drill bit or the small one) stabilizes the balance quite a bit, versus both regular arms.
   
3. Getter 2 has some really small issues that I’ll just point out in this section. The Chest plate on this figure is very difficult to put on. On Getter 1, the chest was very loose. They must have over compensated on Getter 2. The chest fits a little bit too tight, and you will need to put some gentle force to put it in. Another small issue is in the difficulty of opening the secret compartment in the hip. The instruction manual that came with the figure clearly shows that there is a compartment. But I fear to investigate any further may cause damage to my hip plate. On another note, be careful when you pick up your Getter 2. The mid section or spine part is only made out of plastic.  Though the plastic is fairly strong, you may want to avoid any chance of cracking or snapping.

Aside from these faults, there are still a lot of pluses (this time round I’m finding the faults of Getter 2 are far fewer then Getter 1.

The design is very striking. Taku Sato outdid himself when designing this figure. It has a nice balance of the classic design, but still able to have a modern industrial look. The chest plate and face plate on this figure are removable, to reveal the inner skeleton.

A Getter Generator and Radioactive tube can be placed inside the Getter.

Specific details like these make this figure stand out.

1. The amount of diecast in this figure is quite clear the moment you pick it up. It’s heavy, plain and simple. There is some plastic but it’s solid and sturdy. The paint job is quite nice too. The paint job seems able to withstand any normal scratches you might get from playing.
   
2. Most of the hinges are ratchet jointed and hold firm when posing, so you won’t see any loose joints over time. The pose ability in the thighs has a greater range then Getter 1. This helps balance it a little better on its very thin feet. Overall there are a lot of small technical improvements that they’ve made over Fewture Getter 1.

Getter 2 also includes the Getter 2 machine Jet. Even though it plays second fiddle to Getter 1 machine, its quality is equal. It’s mostly diecast, and fairly heavy. There’s very little gimmick to it. The most is you can do is pop the fists into the back of the engines (arms, and they have elbow joints) to replicate the forming of the upper torso. Though simple, it has a nice touch.

Overall it’s a very high quality figure, if you can afford it; I would recommend getting this figure.

Getter 2 had a limited production run of 2,500 units.

Just like the other Jugarama jumbos, it is nearly impossible to acquire this in a box.

Geta 1 was the second Jumbo to surface from Mexican toy makers Jugarama. It is nearly identical to the Popy Getter 1 Jumbo Machinder, but does feature some distinct differences. First of all, the toys are obviously named slightly differently and have unique stickers on their waists. While the Popy toy says "Getter 1" in Japanese, the Jugarama says "Geta 1" in English. The yellow on the pelvis of the Popy version is a thin vinyl covering, while it is simply painted on the Jugarama toy. The top and bottom of Geta 1 are not intended to be separated and are actuallly connected with two screws. The paint on the head is sloppier and the vinyl softer. Also ,the legs of the Jugarama version are softer. I can actually squish them just by squeezing the sides. Lastly, the Jugarama toy is slightly smaller, measuring only about 22.5" tall. All the other proportions are shrunken as well, so that a fist from a Popy Getter 1 will not fit on a Jugarama Geta 1.

Much like the Aquaman Jumbo before it, when specimens of this toy first starting appearing, they were often seen with incorrect fists. For awhile it was actually unknown if it really had two matching fists like the original. Sometimes it had a missile launcher, sometimes two right or left fists, sometimes even an Aquaman fist. But most notably, it first appeared with an axe throwing fist like that of a Getter Dragun Jumbo. This is significant because the fist from a Popy or Shogun Warrior Dragun should not fit on this toy, which would suggest the existence of a Jugarama-made Getter Dragun, although to date no such toy has been discovered.

Note also that the specimen above does not have the waist sticker, but does have all the other appropriate sticker details, which are missing from mine. Though neither pictured here has the cape, I have seen at least one specimen that did. It often seemed like no two specimens of this toy were the same!

One very cool thing that Jugarama did was to include the missile launching accessory with this toy. You didn't have to buy it separately like with (most of) the Popy Jumbos, nor did it replace the correct hand like with the Mattel Shogun Warrior Jumbos.

Just like the other Jugarama jumbos, it is nearly impossible to acquire this in a box. So far, just one example of the box has surfaced. It features artwork that mimmicks the Popy Getter 1 box. The following image is from the auction for the only known boxed specimen.

Jugarama Geta 1 box

Popy Getter 1 box

The side of the box shows the other toys in the Jugarama Jumbo lineup. There is no Dragun listed as you can see, but I have also been told of a Mazinger Jumbo from Jugarama so it's possible there was a second wave of releases. It has always been my hope that since there definitely is a Getter Poseiden and that there may be a Getter Dragun, there might even be a Getter Liger out there somewhere! Hopefully more of these toys will some day come to light.

One of the most popular super robots ever gets the Jumbo Machinder treatment.

Fuji TV broadcast the original Getter Robo (ゲッターロボ) anime from April 4, 1974 to May 8, 1975. The show featured three vehicles which could combine to form three different robots, called Getter 1, Getter 2 and Getter 3. The show was very popular and all three robots were released as Jumbo Machinders in 1974. Of the three, Getter 1 is probably the easiet to get, followed by Getter 2. Getter 3 is indisputably the rarest and most sought after. These three Jumbos were the first hero characters in the line to not be numbered on the box. Why Popy chose to assign numbers to just the first 5 toys in the series is unknown.

The character of Getter 1 is one of the most popular of Japanese Super Robots and the Jumbo Machinder is a perfect example of what most Jumbo collectors like about the line...a simple design, bright primary colors and just enough gimmicks to make it interesting. And, of course, size. Getter 1 is the standard 23.5" tall, with a soft vinyl head and polyethylene body. It has two pairs of wheels on each feet and the hands, which can be removed and swapped with separately sold accessory fists, feature some nice white spikes on the forearms. This toy also has something that no other Popy Jumbo had....a cape! White on the interior and shiny red on the exterior , it really gives the toy an added dimension.

The soft vinyl head has painted details and is actually more orange than the red on the rest of the toy, but it can be hard to see in pictures. The rest of the toy features stickers for details, green on the chest and red on the legs. Note that the green on the chest has a thin line of black along the outside edges. This is an easy thing to overlook, but should be noted for those that might need to do some repro work, as these stickers are often damaged or missing. The waist sticker is black with "Getter 1" written in Japanese, in shiny silver. It may not be very noticeable, but "1" is written both numerically and also phonetically in Japanese (ワン). Copyright information is stamped into the back of the toy, just above the top of the cape.

Probably the most noteworthy feature of the toy is that it can be separated into two parts by pressing a tab on the front and back of the waist. Each of the three Getter Robo Jumbo Machinders have this feature and you can mix and match the parts to create different forms! Sadly, I do not own either Getter 2 or Getter 3, so I will let the box art show you what I mean.

The other side of the box is less interesting and simply shows you which Jumbo accessory fists were available in stores at the time.

Although Getter 1 is an easier acquisiation than the other Getter Jumbos, it can still be on the expensive side since it is a popular character. There is another bootleg version from Mexican toy makers Jugarama. They released a slightly different version of this toy, that can occasionally be found cheaper.

Here is the opening of the show. Note how the color scheme differs. For this reason, many collectors have made custom Getter 1 Jumbos to more accurately match the anime.
