so i got some time with this figure and im not feeling it honestly
first there is this color i dont know what to call it, its like a weird shade of blue, its not like the promo photos or the reviews i saw, its not white, and its not the same blue (maybe its just mine ?)
second the Getter ships are feather light, why Bandai didn't put some diecast in them ?
third the chest piece is just like the Fewture Getter lol, i dont know maybe its me i didn't put it right i dont know
lastly could some one explain to me why we got 2 faces and 2 chest pieces ?

Damn, sorry to hear that...
The two sets are one for " the original cute rabbit doe eyes face" / chest, then later on it got face lift in the series...more aggressive slander squinting eyes.
Cant wait to get my 2 cents on this figure. Ill be hard on it....i hope Bandai doesnt cry when im dome with him.

That's my first Getter-1 robot, so I'm very happy with it ! It's add a nice touch of color among The black/grey/dark blue Mazingers. However, I'm a little disappointed with 2 points : - Main color is light grey/blue and no white. I've always seen Getter-1 as a red and white robot, but in fact this light grey/blue color seems very accurate with anime color, never paid attention to that. So, It appears to be a good point afterall. - The second face (the one with small eyes) has a nice cockpit window made out of clear blue pastic, while the main face (the one with big eyes) has just dark blue paint (same as the mouth paint). Too bad they didn't put a clear cockpit on the Main face too, cause I prefer the big eyes one, but I have to place the second face cause clear blue cockpit is so cool !^^ Maybe this difference is related to anime ? I don't know... Also, That's a pity that the red chest and back parts are made out of plastic and no Die Cast. Don't know why, but I was pretty sure they're will be made of metal. Overall that's a great figure to me !

i just finished my photography set for this figure
and im still holding my word on it (worst DC so far)
the neck is very annoying, it will knock off the chest piece easily
the neck have alot of joints more than the actual figure lol
the blue paint, is just wrong
the process of putting the tomahawks in his fist is a true pain, the small ball wont go inside with easy and it kept falling like crazy, (you better have small hands)
the Getter ships are plastic
it have a flying hands but without a stand to make it do so lol
Bandai should really really upgrade the joints system for this line

Getter 1 arrived today. I effing love this thing. Finally a TV Getter 1 where they nailed the colors. Posing is great, very easy and fluid to get it into all the classic poses. I even like the Getter ships more than I expected; they look so good in hand that I don't mind the lack of die-cast.
S_Gokin, are you sure you are snapping the chest piece on all the way? Mine won't come off on accident once it's locked in place. Also, the balls at the ends of the tomahawk handles need to be turned a certain way to plug back in. The holes and pegs have a flat side.

DAMN!
Ba ba, ba ba, back to the topic.... Well mine just arrived. Ill try to give my first impression late tonight.
Interesting thought about this release is that 5Pro Studio gave up on its Getter 1 ( not the Armageddon VCM Carbotix 02 Getter 1)but the one that they showed around a year ago along with Poseidon, Getter2 and Getter 3 prototype. From what i understand, According to RollRoll, after seeing the DC Getter 1, It resemble way too close to DC so they decided not to pursue it. Maybe that was a smart move...but i hope they can see a market for their Getter 2 and Getter 3 to go along with this DC Getter 1.

yes i push till i hear the click, but if you push the head down it will knock off the chest piece That sucks. If I push the head down on mine, it just shifts the chest forward, then bends the torso; the chest won't pop off unless I want it to.

Hey guys, whats up its GGG here. Welcome to my review chanel..hehehe. Always wanted to say that. But seriously, i had some time with this guy and wanted to share some thoughts.
Pros Heavy and gorgeous box..out of three DCs .it feels heaviest. He is GORGEOUS. The best original Getter sculpt, true to the source. Perfect in my book. None of the BS western superhero proportion here. The color is a beautiful shade of greyish blue tinted offwhite where all the white would be...i love it. Ton of metal as it should be. Luxurious metal clicky knee joints. Other friction joints are apporpriately tight. No noticeable toxic PVC..i mean, where are they? Its listed on the material but i dont see or feel any. Not on the hands, tomahawks, ships, effect parts, NOTHING!! They are feel like hard quality ABS... Maybe the hands?
Cons He is little smaller then Great..for some reason thought hed be bigger...I'm bias. Sloppy paint app on wing, the wing cover and theyellow painted part of hip ball joints...this is unusal for Bandai SOC team...Looks like some one dropped few thinner on mine... The end cap of the tomahawk falls off like theres no tomorrow...you ARE going to loose it if not careful. The front chest piece IS bit temperamental(?) as If you push the head too forward will give out and dislodge (it doesnt fall off, but cracks open upward)...maybe its intentional. Oh Heinous unrecylable toxic styrofoam coffin....how can GGG forget that?
After owning three DCs, DC def seems like Bandai puts the number one priority on source accuracy so Bandai let the articulation suffer...but whats the excuse for ill fitting Tomahawk end cap and sloppy paint app.....? In the end i still Recommend this guy, its heavy, source accurate, fun to handle piece of art. He is def NOT the best DC. Is he the worst? I dont know. My other two DCs have serious issue of their own...it just means Bandai SOC team needs to either crack down harder on the factory owner or change factory altogather.
Well thanks for reading sad review and till next time press LIKE and Subscribe!! Teehee always wanted to say that too. Whew.
