I ordered one of these cheap Tatio Getters from Hong Kong for 6.99. It will be here in a few weeks, it looks like it has some articulation in it, does it? How does it look in person? Im thinking about maybe painting it "Ryoma's Black Getter" style.. any advice or ideas?

Im thinking about going with the colorscheme from a Relovtech Black Getter. Dark grey leg and arm trim. gold belt, green breast panels and green windows in the face, gold shoulder spikes, silver axe. What do you guys think? Should I do it or leave him stock? He was only 16 bucks to my door.

At that DEAL of a price, try to get as many so you can paint them according to their original anime appearance versions. Great score, bro! ps: I replied to your FB link and sent ya an FB friend request, I use my real name there at FB (Tony). That Getter there looks really nice. So, is Tatio a manufacturer or a toy line? I wonder if they make any Mazingers, I'd get one if they did. zozo-mag

Because that link is currently a LIVE auction at eBay... we do not post live auction links in public.
I followed another link where a similar item was available at an actual store in Japan, but their quantity was limited. If this is indeed a toy line, it's not as big as it may seem.
Right now my budget is very tight and I'm not ready to go shopping just yet; I just wanted to drool over these vinyls for a while.
If you browse eBay, you just might find some of these available from other vendors who carry this line. A while back I saw some bootleg white unpainted vinyl renditions of the LeReve Mazinger-Z on eBay which I'm still drooling for to this day. I have a fetish for good looking quality booties.

sabbath, 21 euros is too high, keep looking my friend. boricua, yes my friend. it is against the rules to post ebay auctions here. Just keep looking for "Tatio Getter" you will find it.. its a inexpensive toy in Hong Kong.. look for Hong Kong. For me, the best part about collecting is "searching".. its like big game hunting. @ Tony thank you for explaining it to him, I hate to look like a thingy.! ha ha

No problem. Well, I know it's been discussed here in RJ many times before; but I'll briefly mention it again... We do not post live eBay auction links here in public (meaning Here in RJ, nor should you do it in any other collectors community forum!) Because: > It creates unfair shopping competition between fellow collectors who may be looking for an item, especially if it is a RARE and Distinctive item that can only be found on eBay at a certain deal of a price. > That also results in best friends here becoming bitter rivals/enemies when two or more people go after that one item, one person wins it while the other persons lose it, then an armageddon breaks loose. > It's also a cut-throat way of starting rifts and flame wars among fellow collectors in the community. That results in members (guilty or innocent) getting banned and forums getting shut down. Well, y'all get the basic idea. Believe me, I learned that lesson the hard way some time a while back when I should've known better. Gettershadow's right about collecting, this hobby mostly involves lots of Searching. Although you'll find a good amount of goodies here in the forum's Sales/Repairs section, most of that searching is usually done outside of RJ... ...the best holy grails can only be found Out There, if you go out and search for it. But, ya Gotta do the leg-work and search for it. Now, if someone here posted a link to an item You found, and others beat you to that item Before you could buy it, you'd be Pissed at them folks with such stepchild-deep homicidal hatred, right? Well, That is why we don't post live auction links. If the auction item got sold, Theeeeen you can post that link so we can all comment about the item. The item gets sold and the auction is no longer live... ....you'll know it aint Live by looking at the date/time that auction Closed when the item was Sold. zozo-mag

Yeah the guy I got mine from had an open bid going.. nobody was looking and I scored it for his starting price.. had I posted it here, that sucker could have gone as high as $30 bucks to some unsuspecting soul. Posting in places like this causes hype and bidding wars and the winner of the piece ends up being the loser. This Getter IS A TOY.. its not worth much more than 6.99 anyway!

I think this line was discussed a couple times, but started under the topic of Raideen, which is a popular one in this 1ft tall Taito lineup. (crane prize toys theez dayz) They made it in full color, and a Black Raideen version, possibly unpainted also. Joints do move on these.
