Because they assume no one loves Getter-3. In fact, they probably assume barely anyone even loves Getter-2, consider how few versions of that they made. It's always all about Getter-1.
I'm actually surprised Sentinel's making all three Dinosaur Getters, they're not even "classic" designs!

Then, Aoshima should try the Pre-Order approach, just like Bandai (exclusives), and CM's (Dancouga Nova). Bandai only makes about as many exclusives as are pre-ordered, and CM's scrapped the Dancouga Nova project because they did not meet the amount of pre-orders required. Either way, very little cost on their side, and a good chance to make lots of fans happy - AND make some money while at it. }D

On sentinel front, I'm only buying Getter 2. Not buying Getter 1 or 3. I don't like them.
But I skipped only getter 2 on Fewture Getter G set. I have dragon and Poseidon. I don't like how Fewture getter 2 looks.
For me, it's all about the design and perceived quality of that particular toy. The Aoshima Getter 2 looked aweful and few people who bought and reviewed it and reported how awful that toy is. So retailer dropped it to 50 usd and still there plenty to go around.
If Aoshima put out an outstanding getter 3 with quality and good looking design. They can make money. It just has to be done well.

What was exactly wrong with the Aoshima Shin Getter 2? Seems to me it is pretty anime accurate, and it is not Aoshima's fault if that design was not best suited for the real world. Well, I do have to say that Aoshima did piss me off by putting a slight "weathering" on the regular color version, instead of just leaving it with regular unweathered colors. Other than that, I can't think of anything wrong with it.

The face looks a little different to me, like the eyes are bigger or something.

The face looks a little different to me, like the eyes are bigger or something. I looked at both of mine,they painted the eyes more yellow and less red outline inside the eye.So more yellow means bigger looking eyes Chen.Good eye LOL!!! AND BTW GGG Getter 2 is actually awesome,how it stands on its own with such skinny legs and big drill Ill never now,its balanced magically.I love it.AND TMZ RIGHT WITH YOU on the weathering thing,hate weathering.SRs dont begin with dirt on them,so dont add dirt to the figure,i want my SRs right from the factory,or just from the car wash.

I think I prefer the silver one. At least it won't stick out so much among the SoC Mazingers.

Decided to order as well. Looks good and I haven't bought an Aoshima Mazinkaiser in forever.

Same here. I'll just paint one of my old original Aoshima anime color Mazinkaiser in light grey, and make an "Italian" version out of it. Pre-ordered mine from Anime-Export, which has it the cheapest right now. We need to support Aoshima... so they can finally make a Shin Getter 3! }D

Never really got around to picking the aoshima, wanted to but the planets didn't align the right way I guess, I'll be picking this up for sure, and red wing is perfect, it's the version I prefer. Oh glorious day!!

I want a comparison shot of the old OVA and new OVA..new one seems to have a purple hue to the white,i like it.Just wondering if i should go for the limited one,even though I own teh original. That's what I was looking at, it's kind of turning me off to that version, if I can find it at a decent price(not from Italy, I Do Not buy from Italy) and it doesn't have a tint to the white then I'll be all over it, but if it doesn't become available outside of Italy then I'll make my peace with not owning this right now.

It's been 12 years and they haven't fixed even the elbow joint??? Plus the figure now goes for nearly twice the original price??? Thanks but no thanks. A koji gashapon isn't worth all that money

Now the question is, how am I gonna justify getting this since I already got the Max Factory one?
I mean that one is basically a "game accurate" Mazinkaiser, while this one's anime accurate.
I just wish Bandai made a SoC Mazinkaiser that was best of both worlds and I could just lose both and get that one instead.

A hybrid Mazinkaiser? No way! I'm already chopping up the SRC one to make it a real Mazinkaiser, not the hybrid thing Bandai went with.
Bandai, like Aoshima and Max Factory, should respect the original designs and just pick one or the other. Enough with screwing up someone else's creations and calling them their own!
