Can't wait for this guy. Getter Dragon is my favorite Getter, especially the OVA version!
Something interesting to note is that this is the real Getter Dragon and not the fake Metal Beast Getter Dragon used by Saotome. The Metal Beast version had inverted "arrows" on the legs, turned upside-down to look like V's.

See the juncture on the fore arms... now it's graphic (instead of a straight one). Hope the rest of the getter crew will follow...

another head that removes the mouth plate and shows the sinister face. No, because this is not Metal Beast Dragon. Not only is the MB Dragon's head different from the OVA Getter Dragon, even the rest of the body has some design differences. Reposting these pics for comparison: Getter Dragon (OVA version) Metal Beast Dragon

Hmmm... he looks more Aoshima-ish than SOC-ish, but I guess I got used to SOC's releasing the classics. Getter army is getting bigger and bigger! Still though...I'm hoping to see Shin Getter 3, and Texas Mac. Aoshima or SOC, I don't care, lol!

I still prefer GX-18 way more, but you can't have too many Getter Dragon's IMHO.

Reposting these pics for comparison: Getter Dragon (OVA version) pics Metal Beast Dragon pics I see, it has been a while since I saw Getter Robo Armageddon, but indeed there different in some areas. I wonder if they will make the Metal Beast Dragon version as a GX51S, like what they did to GX45 Shin Mazinger that has the other GX45 version but Dark mode.

Rewatched the first episode of Shin Getter Robo today. It looks like the SOC is the same model as the "Mass-Produced" Getter Robo G's that Ryoma fought.

That's the one that killed Michiru and is partially the cause of why she turned into a dude named Gou... ;D ;D ) Gold

Well she killed herself but the whole Michiru/Go thing was majorly messed up and really made no sense at all, was Go a clone or what. I think they could have omitted the whole Invader thing and just made it a lot simpler by just using one of the old villains or maybe both (from Getter Robo and Getter Robo G).

Well unfortunately the director of Shin Getter Robo was fired after the third episode, and was unwilling to share any of the ideas he had for the rest of the series, so the writing team had to piece together the remainder of the story from scratch. I have a feeling it would've turned out a lot better if Imagawa hadn't been let go. ^^;
