You know? I love this thing Bandai is doing now, starting with emperor and go of ACTUALLY MAKING OTHER GETTERS! about time. Hope they keep at it and give us shin and arc soon. If I'm not mistaken, those are the only main line getters Bandai is yet to makebin the SoC line, after this past two releases

For those worried about transformation, I think you can rest assured. In both the manga and anime, getter robo go isn't actually powered by getter rays, so it's transformations are mechanical. Nothing just morphs into existence like the other getters. I found this vid of an older transforming getter robo go figure, and I'm sure this SoC's transformation won't be all that different from this one. It should give us a good idea of what to expect

Also, for those wondering about scale, you can just look at the stands being used to support them. Those appear to be tamashii stage act 4 stands. One of their segments is 6.5cm long. I calculated getter sho at about 17cm and getter go at over 20. I'm honestly not thrilled about that. Getter robo go is supposed to be very small for a getter, at only 20 meters (getter 1 is 38, getter dragon is 50, and shin getter 1 is 55) but it looks like this figure will be almost as tall as their emperor, unless I messed up the calculations, that is. Also, it seems like die-cast content will be very low. Those stands have a lot of trouble holding up larger super robot chogokin figures, like shin getter and mazinkaiser. In fact, those figures can break the pegs of the stand because of the weight. Here, though, one of them is holding getter sho completely in the air, so we might have 200 grams or under for this chogokin. Of course, take this with a big grain of salt. I'm just making assumptions based on pictures. I might be completely wrong about everything.
