I don't think T-REX is involved which is why this isn't under the same line as there Black Getter and why Sentinel has started yet another line.

Preordered from hlj, Sentinel has quickly become one of my favorite Japanese toy companies in such a short time. I haven't been displeased with any of the figures I own from them. Seeing them move on to transforming figures with some metal content is another big step up for them.

Thanks Chen, it isn't good news to me though, I really thought the involvement of T-Rex is what made Black Getter such a successful project. I'll wait for more news about this new one, hopefully they'll manage to keep their previous quality or even improve on it. The upcoming Wonderfest will tell us more!

My Gurren Lagann is amazing. I have heard far more hits than missed with them. Not sure I understand the trepidation

No trepidation, just cautious optimism Isn't it the first time Sentinel does a transforming figure? I always think how MegaHouse or CM's can make great Gokin but when they try transforming mecha they systematically fail at maintaining the quality. I know Sentinel usually does a great job, but at 14000 I want some more proof of it before I preorder.

I don't know how much transforming they do. Looking at the pics it does not look like a full transformer. The wings behave more like a Scrander

Alright the black color getter is cooler in my eyes, I'll preorder this one instead of the red one. Given the july release date the preorder should go up later this month or next month.

Oh no, recolors............ This is a beauty. From Wonderfest booth : Getter 3 alt mode is odd... A double headed-tank-Skylink !

The pictures are confirming my belief that they are not full fledged transformers

Mmm, the black scheme actually helps the design a lot. All the detail makes it looks busy with the normal Getter scheme. The other two work just fine with the colors.

I love the getter 2 alt mode. Actually the robot mode looks awesome too.

Preordered at amiami. I hope they eventually provide a means of getting the bonus for getting all 3 units.
I am not usually one for straight repaints, but I'd consider the black getter, especially if it gets discounted like a number of other Sentinel releases have. I could perhaps justify it to myself if I were to keep one in dino form (I am already thinking similarly in regards to their great Dancouga prototype, as I already have the SOC!).

I was into this figure until I saw the production shots. Something didn't sit right with me, but I think the black recolor brought me back. Its soft of ironic considering I prefer the OG color of the fewture G1 vs the Black color.

Considering how hard NY managed to turn something as simple as the extra Fewture parts, if you add coupons into the mix their minds will be blown away.
