I can't preorder as I actually don't find out about the releases till its out Thats why I'm trying to make an effort on keeping on top of things now (Black Shin Getter, I shall get my hands on you) If u r interested in the ex getter g trio I might have set for sale which is reasonably priced! Pm me if u r interested Sorry but I'm only interested in the Dragon for the G line, besides the fact that I only have enough for a single purchase. I'll be flying home in a few days so I wanna check out the prices locally (Theres an actual Fewture dealer in my country).

Wow, is the Poseidon a gorgeous toy. Probably the best of the 3... And these toys have such a...satisfying heft. I can't wait to see what Fewture does for Grendy.

I'm one of those guy who isn't too big on most Getter 3s (Fewtures Getter 3 though is intriguing) so I don't see the appeal

But, there is just something so appealing about Poseidon IMO in general; he's definitely not the sleeker of the trio but being the heftier-looking robot has its appeal here. Now, what makes the EX Gokin version so wonderful for me are a few things: I love the pistons on the feet...I have no other word than "cool" for this. The detailing on the sole (i.e. fans and boosters) are also fantastic. I also have sore spot for any toy with tank treads (so, ask me how much I love my Hurricanger Gouraijin). Anyhow, just some late-night perspective. Zzzzz...

While i agree with a lot of the folks on the thread that this release of the Getters were in fact great with a lot of new plus to the overall fewture ex gokin line, my biggest disappoint had to with Poseidon figure. Not because of the figure but with the million and one paint smudges I had on my figure that was seen on the chest and leg areas with my specimen. I'm not sure what happened but the smudges were atrocious on mines. I'm not even sure, but has anyone dealt with Nippon-Yasan's customer service department here? I'm actually thinking about asking them on this as I'm guessing I'm one of the lucky few that ended up with a relatively smudged-up Poseidon figure... If only the paint smudges weren't so visible on mines, I'd let it go but as it stands the best one of the bunch had to be getter dragon and as someone else had mentioned it before the q.c. just sort of dropped with each new figure release for this series

Dark me and Chachi also had that problem with Poseidon. We are pissed at 500 a piece collect able would have sucha stupid QC problem... I don,t know how it happened and i don't care why it happened. It inexcusable. Two bit Hasblo or Revolting wouldn,t have QC like that. And they are of course less then $30 toys.
So wth happened. Does anyone know if Fewture responded anywhere? Or they CMsing us.

Aside from those tiny screw covers popping off and goofy over bite....and of course asinine paint smudges, This thing is perfect. It beautiful. Playable, sturdy. Tons of diecast and clicky joints for just about every joints. Gorgeous colors...

Sorry to hear about the peeps with QC issues. The Poseidon I have here is pretty flawless.

Trust me. You know what I did to clean up the smudges? I had fingerprints in my paint like they didnt wait for paint to dry before handling it (NO EXCUSE FOR THIS AT THIS PRICE) What I did is rub the area with polishing compound, not straight up compound but turtle wax polishing compound and a terry cotton cloth. You wanna rub the spot with some pressure. Do a couple of rubs and check the cloth. You will see color meaning it is eating away at the paint. Depending on how deep the smudges are, you should be able to rub it away by removing paint. After all that is how they do it at the factory with a high speed buffing machine. They just seem to do this while on crack. I had a 1969 mazinger with a HAND BRUSHED foot that was actually FLAT black. Seems they forgot to polish it. At least it looks like the paint is applied thick. Just be careful...oh and its possible to make it look even glossier than possible from factory since they rush through the process. Remember Bandai's red Energer Z? Its a $70 toy retail and mass produced but it had an absolutely FLAWLESS paintjob, probably the best Ive seen yet. Then theres Fewture that makes very few of these at $500 retail, meaning their workers can spend a little more time with these but they make them like sh*t. EVERY DAMN fewture figure I have has flaws in their finish...every single one including the ES Gokins.

a question guys
is it best to display Fewture Gokins attached to the circle display to make the joint stress free or that will damage the back section with time ?

Btw, nice pics TJ.
Yes, i do put my fewture getters on the display stands, i want to prevent any future problems involving loosening of joints and the toys starts falling down and gets damaged in the process.

mecha-mecha - Thanks I don't use the display stands just because I display in detolfs. The joints aren't going to weaken in most standard poses , IMO.

Are teh joints plastic?Tell you one thing MOSTLY diecast figures with plastic joints WILL break over time.Does anyone own the CMs Tetsukyojin?{Galient} have you picked it up in a while if its in your detolf?I dare you!watch the arms fall off if its got the sword or shield in hand.Mine did,and just from hanging arms.
All 90% or above diecast toys with plastic joints will not hold over time,I have no idea the percentage in these Fewtures or the joints etc,but if they are anything like the toy i mentioned your in for trouble.Im worried for Aoshima toys too frankly..but maybe Im beimg over paranoid.After i saw what "sporting over 90 percent diecast"does for a toy over the years! JUNK.

JUNK. Well, I'm currently at 13 Fewture EX Gokins, and for the most part they've held static in my display case for around a year or so, so if it's inevitable then it is what it is, but as is they've been fine. So, knocking on wood and hoping they at least last a good while longer since they weren't cheap.

My mazinger repaints arm joints are pretty bad, they became loose after less than a year on display and have problems holding on to dynamic poses now. Fewture gokins are heavy and chunky, but not indestructible, they might not react too well to a fall due to loose joints, tremors or simply gravity. i rather put them on stands than take a chance haha
