black looks amazing. the getter 1 haters are gonna end up getting him anyway because you will need the tomahawks to complete black. Unless you do like me and get neither of them I'll be honest here. Bandai packed the tomahawks with the regular and the machine guns with the black just so most collectors would have to buy both to give to each Getter the weapon that better fitted them. Kind of a deek move, if you ask me. But not a big deal if you like the figures, getting both to display them as a small set might indeed be cooler than just getting one of the two. But I'm not in that group. I think that Bandai screwed up big with the figure's sculpt in some areas, so no thanks, I won't be getting neither of them

I love my getter 1, and I'm sure I'll like the black even more, being that it's my favorite getter mecha. I do agree that the weapon choice was intentionally a "deek" (lol) move by bandai.

Got my Getter Black today. Brilliant! It is packaged in an outer brown box packaging that protects the main box. Picture of packaging shown my treatment (May 27) is spot on. Got mine from NY. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

Decent figure but MY ISSUE..at this stage in teh game WHY is it SO HARD to swivel the legs on the Getter bros,why?and they dont swivel all that much when you do turn them,knees look like they are in the wrong spot in certain poses cuz you cant swivel lower legs all that much.Same issue I had with the red getter Robo,with all the articulation Bandai tauts with these SRCs youd think LEGS shoudl be a no brainer and for me its the worst part of most SRCs,the upper hip balls suck and lower legs dont swivel all that much.YOU CANT get Knees to face sideways its impossible.

i had chance to handle this figure and wow...
pros.
paint:color app is perfect. just a beautiful matt black with lovely grey and weathered red cape. very nicely understated. the actual clear green jewle like plastic chest pieces are real beaut..
sculpt: sculpt and proportion look very nice in person. especially the head looks very accurate to the source.
materials:the very intricate core joint which connect to his hips is diecast. the lower legs are diecast. part of the ankle joints are diecast. I cant find any soft gummy pvc on this figure. even hands feel like theyre made of quality abs. the enitire figure feels extremely durable due to the thick high quality hard plastic used. i can play this fig without worrying anything major would break. cape, cowls, head, hands all feels like abs.....no pvc used.
articulations: his head can bend very far to the back to achieve natural flying posture. his new shoulder joints tabs accommodate furthest movement ever in src. elbows and knees have clicky joints...lovely.
cons once you put the cape on hes little back heavy. diecast chest would have helped. also his feet should be diecast to further help him balance. his hip articulation is indeed very limited even with the extremely elaborate diecast hip joints. his forarms falls off too easily on mine. and finally, his segmented belly is ugly....but black and grey covers it very well.
in summary, even with limited hip articulation, lack luster diecast content and ofcourse the ugly ugly segmented belly...i recommed this figure. its a very solid figure. feels like tank, albeit a plastic tank. it looks great and has an awesome presence on my getter collection. btw, NY package this thing extremly well. cushioned with newspaper with bubble wrape around the tamashii brown box. no dings on the box.
