Considering how well Sentinel did with these do you guys think theres a chance for Shin Getter after the Dino releases (if they keep going with Armageddon)! I feel like Shin Getter has yet to have gotten a great gokin. SRC is cool and all but that head is just kind of sad. Would definitely want to see some more out of Sentinel x T-Rex on the getter line!

I'm sure they will keep releasing better and better stuff the more successful they become.

Totally agree with you about the SRC Shin Getter 1. I bought mine as I've wanted to own at least one SRC figure for some time now. And since I didn't own a Shin Getter 1, and wasn't interested in any prior releases (or willing to pay their high secondary prices), I decided on the SRC, nice, but ultimately it's way to 'action figurey' for my tastes. Which is basically the reason why I've avoided SRC all together, while on the contrary the SRC Shin Getter 1 offered an interesting design (to me) and is larger than most other SRCs at a price that was relative to it's value for me. So yeah, Shin Getter 1 by Sentinel would be a must buy, especially since we'll never see an SOC version. Now if I could just find one of Aoshima's Shin Getter 1's for a reasonable price...

Wow, T.O.P is much bigger than I thought. Nice overload effect. Must mess with all the poses when the flame effects come out!

Gonna buy my first getter one, dunno what to get , the sentinel or the soc? any suggestions??? They're of the same price from the store I visited. Who by the way, has more diecast contents? I saw some pictures of the sentinel with parts broken off like the arm and the feet . Does look like it easily break, am I right??

I've had both and I prefer the Sentinel. The SOC might have more diecast but it's not as fun, and doesn't look as good IMO.

I also own both, and I also vote for Sentinel.
It has Plenty of diecast, but just not as thick of metal walls on the parts that are diecast on SOC. But pound for pound, sentinel is a better figure to me.

I have both as well, and while the Sentinel's design is unique, it is also a lot more fragile than the SOC. If I had been given the option of only getting one, I would've choosen the SOC in a heartbeat. }D

The soc one for me as well! It is heavier and more anime accurate

SOC is just a cleaner figure.

Modern toy engineering that allows for fantastic articulation aside... I'd go the SOC. The SOC is a more substantial robot toy, that just feels right - something the Sentinel Getter doesn't do for me. But hey, that's me.

Therefore, Sentinel/T-Rex Getter 1 is more anime-accurate. --- Gonna buy my first getter one, dunno what to get , the sentinel or the soc? any suggestions??? They're of the same price from the store I visited. Who by the way, has more diecast contents? I saw some pictures of the sentinel with parts broken off like the arm and the feet . Does look like it easily break, am I right?? I got both. I posted pics of both in the previous pages of this thread to help you and the others decide which one will be more acceptable to get. Both are great stuff to get and, depending on how you play/display it, you can't go wrong with either. That said, SOC GX-52 is quite readily available. The Sentinel/T-Rex Getter-1 is not as readily available. So, imho, get the Sentinel/T-Rex right now, but only if it is around US$100 max. Don't get it if more expensive than that. Scalpers have been jacking the price coz of availability, so be aware. The scalpers will probably hide the GX-52 again to artificially fluff up the pricing (again), but try not to get tempted to get the GX-52 at over US$100.

One more thing T Rex getter 1 has going for it is the companion black getter.
I don't see SOC as more anime accurate. Something about the SOC doesn't sit right with me. I like the Aoshima getter more than the SOC one.
I really like how the T. Rex look. It's dynamic. I had many chance to get the SOC but never did.

I wish one of these companies would do something really original, instead of just doing their version of the same characters we see over and over. Sure, the dino getters are technically originally, but they are still just re-imaginings of the same characters. I want some dang Xenogears gokins, or some of the jets from Einhänder. Seriously, why aren't these gokins?

perhaps not popular enough or not classic enough to make old timers/adult collectors want them. or maybe not eye-candy enough, incase for newbies. companies will always make sure they get the profit from established fanbase.

Definitely my top 3 figure of all time! Getter One is cool but Black Getter is my cup of tea I want a second one but can't really find a decent price.
