i like the figure but the face sculpt is just wrong
looks like Getter is smiling But Getter/Ryoma IS supposed to be smiling. Face sculpt is actually pretty dead on for that frame particularly, minus the eyeballs.

Another reveal from yet another Naver reviewer....
Lower leg armor is removable to reveal inner mechanism...and there is a apparently a surprise gimmick or feature of some kind that's tied to this that they are not revealing....forgot to mention the battery already comes preloaded, just have to remove the clear plastic tab to light up LED..
Typhoon Kim was quoted saying there is "a bigger picture" to this feature? Maybe an added parts that comes with Black Getter? Something that's related to Getter2 or Getter3?!?! Just guessing.
Stay tuned guys..

The face does look off in the particular picture, though. both the shape of face and emblems are a bit larger and more rounded and it looks more like a cute Getter 1 emoji than toon accurate.
It doesn't necessarily look bad but S_Gokin was dead on in his assertion of it.

Looks okay to me
the edges on the anime cover looks alot sharper than the figure maybe thats why it ended up with the smiling look
dont get me wrong over all the figure is good but not my cup of tea, since its overpriced (at least for me)

Looking at the size next to the 4inch-nel Ryoma I may just replace my Sentinels with these in terms of display.

I'm not a big fan of 70s robot designs (Go Nagai, et al.), but Armageddon made a big impact on me when I discovered it in college. I still remember picking up a VHS tape from a local Japanese video rental store and watching the first episode without subtitles, not knowing what the hell was going on, but being utterly entertained all the same. I've been in love with the (modernized) Getter designs since (we're talking late-90s).
Cancelled my preorder a while back, but the new pics had me salivating. I was waffling back and forth last night, and found another preorder for a really good price. I also watched this video, which sent me over the edge:
As far as the face, it looks spot-on to me. But the entire thing just looks like amazing and better than any other version that's come before...at various points, I've had the Aoshima, Revoltech, and Sentinel ones. I was particularly disappointed with Sentinel's version.
So I preordered again late last night, and hopefully it'll arrive without any problems, QC or otherwise.

Yeah, I got an email from my store about the delay too. Arriving end of Oct/beginning of Nov. I hope it's because the company is ensuring good QC. I just might get GX-88 before this guy. And to think that I cancelled my first preorder because I didn't think I'd be home back in July to receive the package.

HA!!!Finally got my payment notice from HLJ! It's now sitting in my private warehouse, waiting for my green light. ¥4,220 JPY shipping cost by itself. Not THAT bad. I was expecting worst. The bad news : with that typhoon about to hit Japan in the next hours and most flights cancels, it's not going to ship before next week even if I slam the shipment button right now. Too bad there's no sale going on at HLJ. Is there a holiday coming soon? I think I'll do some shopping to see if I can add some more useless crap to pad that package. Scary. Surely Japan is much better prepared to face that kind of weather now than 60 years ago, even in the rural regions. I hope nothing of that magnitude happens this weekend. Because OF COURSE it has to happen on a weekend. Stupid weather. But seriously, good luck to them. Hope everything goes well.
