LOL. Screwing around with possible repaint looks for fun. Yeah......I'd buy it.

That does look good, more uniform looking but it does lose some charm and style without the red and yellow.

The Getter G were such perfectly executed Fewture releases (in terms of articulation and quality and TIMELINESS), that repaints are absolutely inevitable. I would tend to think there will be Repaints, and not "black" variations. I don't think the black/gold schematic would make these Getter Gs more attractive.

Yeah I am not a huge fan of the screwed up colors from Armageddon but they will still look good on the toy. The Shin getter colors were even more screwed up. The Neo Getter vs Shin getter colors were better. Shin Getter 2 had red legs and yellow rocket boosters in that show that matched the other modes.

Bros, I just opened my Poseidon after a month of recieving him. I,m getting really bad... The figure itself is Awesome! But, Finger prints all over. This is not a mint figure, although it,s brand new. No point in babying this thing. It,s already jacked and manhandled right out of box! With moderators blessing, I would like to politely asked for a thread for an open letter to manufacturer or toy maker. For 500 collectible , it,s unacceptable. It,s like getting a Ferrari unwashed and scratches all over it....even two bit 30 Revojunk wouldn,t come this way. BTW, tons of lung destroying, spike ridden styro...I mean ton! Fewture could of been smart or at least be nice to us and put these toys in smaller efficient packaging...but nope. Ton of cancer causing styro... Update: I did manage to wipe off most of it, but there,re couple of fingerprints I need to buff it out. Thinking of using baking powder paste or a tooth paste.... I lay blame on rushing to meet the unreasonable set in stone dead line..... I guess Fewture wanted to rid of one of it,s most infamously crticism..delays. In turn we get a finger prints ridden figure because under pressure, the factory in question didn,t let the figure cure in time. Not even by time the figure is being handled by the workers to pack, it still wasn't,t dry enough. Maybe wearing the glove would make it even worse, by it being too sticky and perhaps making the worker drop the figure. So we get all the dirt and finger print smear all over this expensive figure....

I have a review on youtube for this guy and guess what? Mine has fingerprint issues too. I had to use automotive pishing compound . Toithpaste may be a bit rough and leave swirls. You will want to be careful because if their pai t application is as sh*tty as the finish, you might wear through. There is no clear coaf so dont get alarmed when paint comes off on the towel . If you use auto stucc make sure its polishing compou d and not straight up compound which is more abrasive Bros, I just opened my Poseidon after a month of recieving him. I,m getting really bad...

Got it . Thanks Chachi. I def saw your review first. So in back of my mind I knew what to expect. Maybe that,s why I waited so long to open him. Delaying the inevitable.
Thanks for the tip.

I was looking over the new destruction sets for the Fewture Ex Gokin Getters. From what I can tell, there are two sets, the first being for the Red Getter 1 as he rips his getter power core out. A classic scene from the manga. But the second set appears to be for the Black Getter, and it had a rocket impaling him from the back. Can someone tell me where that scene comes from? (Also, I can't seem to upload images from my iPhone/iPad app. Not sure who to talk to about that.)

That sucks about the fingerprints. They are IN the paint? Totally unacceptable. Guess I got lucky. My 3 Getters were all pretty much mint.
Still loving these guys, but I don't really handle them much. I kind of want to change them around a bit, but it's a chore to handle them (since I don't want fingerprints so use gloves) and fish different accessories/hands out of the box. Nevertheless, these guys are so f**king great. I'm actually surprised how little I regret spending the money. Though sometimes I wonder if I really neeeeed Poseidon. I really wouldn't buy him if not for wanting the complete trio. On his own, I don't think he is necessarily worth the money, although he is still pretty awesome, just not in the same league as Dragon and Liger.

I don't know if the missile was in any of the manga versions but it can be seen in this clip

Can anyone supply me with a list of online stores that carry Fewture and ship worldwide? I only know a few after lurking around a little: TnT BBT Angolz NY (not sure after all the mixed opinions now) eBay: mainly Goodshipped Angolz just sold the last Dragon earlier this week and I'm kinda sour about that

Just visit forums like here, CollectionDX, and etc. and note announcements/updates of toys as they come in. Many people contribute to toy news. Make note of which ones intrigue you and keep an eye on the websites of your favorite online shops (i.e. Bigbadtoystore.com, hlj.com, amiami.com, and etc.). Pretty easy.
