Yup, seems like a standard release to me. Nothing wrong here, just what you'd expect. Some extra hands, effect parts, accesories, and the robot itself. one tray, simple. Yeah I think I'll get it. It's either this one + the black Getter that'll come out in 2015, or the ones from Sentinel. And I'm sorry for Sentinel, since their Getters do feel like slightly superior, or at least superior-looking toys. But money is a b*tch and Bandai's offer is much more reasonable

The spin on my left leg was SO TIGHT i had to pry it as hard as i possibly could to loosen it.It moves now but when you overturn it the seam very slightly splits,not a complete break open but splits slightly.Ive had issues like this with many of my SRCs they just are not consistent in the legs dept.
Never had issues like this on older bandai toys,maybe they are getting cheaper in quality or QC is just OFF.Either one leg is floppy,the other insanely tight on a few Ive owned.Only a few have been worthy of my praise:Mazinkaiser,Mazinkaiser SKL,Shin Getter and the Super Sentai Megazord guy come to mind.The rest are all just OK.Im hoping God Sigma and God Mars really put SRC in a higher bracket for me.

Yes, it was released a couple of days ago. This SRC will make a great 1st Getter Robo action figure! }D

Nice review there Chachipower I'll try hunt down one of these when I can. It's lacking in metal content, but the articulation seems nice, and I like how Bandai improved upon the cape of the GX-52! This one not only doesn't fall off easily, but can also be angled anyway you want. Cool.

it looked boring. and fat. i already preordered black getter (because of the guns) and I was happy with that.
the accessories are drab too. just tomahawks and the beam effect.
but the review made it look so cool and that beautiful shade of red looks very attractive. the beam effect looks rather large too so thats a bonus.

Mines sitting on my table at home, haven't had a chance to open it but I'm sure it's another solid release in the line. Nothing spectacular but a good simple figure.

I am still on the fence! Why getting this when u have the soc one? Which was great! And there's not even a huge difference in size. In fact, if you're not a big Getter fan, I suggest you skip this one. I'm getting it for 2 reasons: 1) it's cheaper, smaller and overall less solid but more toy-like than the SoC GX-52 Getter 1. Which means that I'll spend more time playing with it and posing it, it's more "play" and less "admire" 2) it will pair nicely next to the upcoming SRC Black Getter. I'll swap the weapons too, I'll give the gatlings to Getter 1 and the tomahawks to Black Getter. Then I'll pose them together. Of course, if one already owns the Sentinel Getter pair, this one is kind of redundant. But I don't have no Sentinel Getters, and these 2 are going to be way cheaper. And you get almost the same thing! The only things that are missing are the cloth capes. Oh well, plastic should do the trick...

SRC releases don't usually come with many accessories. Sure, I've seen better, but this is a standard release. Just a handful of accesories/alternate pieces and the figure itself. I say get it, so you can pair it with Black Getter

skipped this one too.. i felt it was unneccessary for me,, already having GX-52. Plus the soc line also has GX-51 Getter Dragon to go with it. well u can say SRC line instead has black getter, but the same-scaled Sentinel's version already solved my itch for that. I want to feel whats like owning one of Sentinel's version of getters.. and im happy with it.

Love this figure ! But theres some wierd joints that a bit tricky to handle, like the crotch joints and the un needed shoulder joints. For photoshoot, this is one of the best figure to pose. Kinda photogenic lol (i own the aoshima, soc, revo ver of this guy)

looks pretty sweet, i was a bit concern about the design style in the waist area but it seems to be it goes well with it.
Can anyone post a picture for size comaprison with the SRC figures as well his SoC GX-52?

It's right here on this page, just a few posts before. Check after the 3:15 minute mark.

Now all im missing is to see a comparison shot with the SRC figures.
