Nice work! The only thing I

Nice work! The only thing I would like to add is that it can be very difficult to get this toy with no paint loss on the head, and one without it can be significantly more expensive.

And maybe the only reason I tend to think of Getter 1 as being more common, is because I haven't got Getter 2 yet. :)

What the....

The jumbo looks sweet, but something is not right. Notice how on the waist sticker it says "Getter 2", with "Getter" being written in Japanese and "2" being written with the numeral 2 with the Japanese pronounciation over it? Well, the Japanese over the 2 doesn't say two.... it actually says one! It's obvious that the person who made the repro sticker based it off the Getter 1 waist sticker. They messed up, however. It's actually quite funny if you think about it.

Good eye!

I mentioned that to Mike after he sent the review. But he's a pretty busy guy and I'm sure fixing that is way down on his list of priorities. I recently finally picked up a Getter 2 myself so maybe I'll take a pic of the proper waist sticker and add it to the gallery.
