Although nothing is 100% certain these days, but chances for a black getter reissue or repaint is slim at the moment. Fewture has tons of backlog and that includes the shin getter and es gohkins.

Agreed, it seems that Fewture is really lagging behind on its projects, I also doubt they will reissue the Black Getter Ryoma. It was a limited Magazine mail-away item and those kinds of things rarely see reissues in most toylines.

And with the problems Fewture has been having lately, if they go bankrupt all the other getters and mazingers will get even more expensive prices.

On the other hand, if they have funding problem, reissuing Black Getter would not cost much to them, and it would sell a lot.
And if it's like the original, it's a win-win situation. They get a lot of order, and we can buy the Black Getter at a reasonnable price!

Well I personally hope they never reissue it.
It is one of the very few modern items that have appreciated in my collection. Though I'm not looking to sell it, its nice to have something this valuable in the collection and to think I almost didn't get it because of its high initial price [$450].
If they do reisssue it I hope they reissue it as a "limited" offering again with a $850 price tag that way the original does not depreciate as much.

They get a lot of order, and we can buy the Black Getter at a reasonnable price! I like your idea! It will definitely sell, and even more so if they re-issue it with the same color scheme as the original and at the same original price. I don't know why the people who own the first (only) release get so bent out of shape about it being re-released anyway. The original will always retain it's collector's value and even more so if it still has Sato's signed poster that came with it. Besides, not many will pay more than $1000 for the original anyway, and those that did pay that much, already have the figure... they will not pay for it again. But going back to the re-issue - yes, it will generate LOADS of cash for Fewture at minimal costs...! ;D }D

My suggestion: re-release the Ryoma Getter as a re-paint.....get rid of the purple (ugh) and keep him in black/grey as in the anime. Maybe add a new weapon, and viola!.....instant revenue generator for Fewture. It's not that complicated.

i am not too sure about that. just look at getter 1. when they reissue getter 1 repaint, the market was flooded with it since and its value, go south.
btw, if you decide to spring for the black getter, be sure to check that the original signature by taku sato is included.

Repaint is what make a product loose value. I would personnaly like an original color scheme. But for those who bought the first release, I would not include a copy of Sato signature, and I would state on the box something like Reedition.
Best of both world for everybody!

I agree with you, if its reissue it should be less expensive than the original one. maybe they could change the color scheme. I have the re-paint getter set and I love it as hell. getting a repaint black getter would be awesome. the price of the original black getter is 1300usd up and no one is insane to buy that. for me personally having reissue is ok, it doesn't mean the original release would depreciate. I should bought the black getter when it was at 450-650usd rather I bought godaikin voltes V incomplete. Just got lucky someone traded my voltes V to a Bnew repaint fewture set. nice!

i think that the purpose of limited edition like the black getter should stay limited simply because the patrons who took the effort to purchase it should really be rewarded in the form that the piece has gone up in value. I know I made the effort to purchase the item when it first released. So is it unfair that there are people didnt jump on the bandwagon earlier? You bet... Reissue to appease those who didnt take the plunge? Why? Everyone had their chance...

I really hope Fewture will reissue it. Those people in Ebay are selling at such a ridiculous high price & I can't find it anywhere else.

I have one black getter, in fact i bought two but the first one got aprehended by customs because of declaring it low price in order to pay less taxes. Faced with the prospect of a legal process and go to court, because they already caught me before one time. But then i escaped with a fine. This second time i had to bluff and to say they were wrong. That the item really is low price and that otherwise i would not want it. I think it still is in their deposit up to this day... how sad... I was also involved previously in the popsalute fiasco like some of you may remember. Finally i got one from an italian seller for a still not outrageous price at the time. It is very similar to the getter 1 except the colour, the cape and a few weapons. And the getter 1 is easy to find. So for that reason i dont think it should be reissued especially since when this all first started 90% of toy colectors didnt believe in fewture to say the least and that only started to slowly change when getter 2 and 3 came out. So those that helped them start should be respected by fewture and therefore no black getter reissue imo.

Reissue to appease those who didnt take the plunge? Why? Everyone had their chance... I agree. The fact that they specifically sold it on the premise that it was "limited" thereby charging an extra $100 (reg. Getter 1 $350, blk mail-away getter $450) for it should deter them from re-issuing it. If they do then that'll say a lot about their credibility...even bandai & takara do not stoop that low......you don't see bandai re-issuing GX-01RB or takara re-issuing a Gold lucky draw MP-01 now do you? I think it will be a stupid (yet likely profitable for the shorter term) move for Fewture to reissue it as I for one won't be sucker-ed 2x into buying an "exclusive/limited" issue that will eventually be re-issued.

Feelings aside, as they don't go well in a money making business, a Fewture Black Getter reissue (maybe repaint) would be the smartest business move for the company. Understand that a reissue will never drop the value of the originally signed Sato Black Getter, and at the same time, it will allow people thta want the figure just because they like it to get one. There are far more people that buy figures just to collect them than for reselling them at a higher price later.
Like I said, the Fewture Black Getter will most likely be reissued in the near future, no questions about it...
