love the pictures, and the soundtrack is also one of my favorites in matter of facts most of the soundtracks in Armageddon are crazy good

Well i just got this figure and even though i like it im somehow quite disappointed with it, i was expecting more for the price or maybe is that CCS toys raised the flag so high that this figure feels not enough compared with the competition but that's just me, still im ok with it as a Getter fan

Since we were talking about these, did a couple quick snap for comparison. And this one is just badassery overflow! Believe in Getter!!! (....and Mazin Power too, I suppose ) Need an appropriate soundtrack to go with these, nothing more fitting than a theme named 気勢 (Kisei - meaning overwhelming prescence, the kind you find from a warrior in a battlefield)! Just realized how fricken spoiled we are... the soc is so tiny... figures have come a long way...

Too bad that this is a really good release and some of Sentinel's best work, but not a lot of online coverage aside some Asian toy groups and reviews. Barely any noise compare to the not so great Metal Build Shin Getter 1 (similar size and price point, no less). Just saw this Wiki guy (that S_Gokin hates ) posted one. At least his has English subtitle.

Got my copy today Only can feel heavy at legs only .... Nice! Feet, thighs, and dark grey mid torso are exterior diecast. The rest are on the joints like the shoulder ring, elbow, inner crotch (yup, inside the orange speedo where the wiener would be LOL). Possibly some inside the hip and shoulder ball, but can't really see the inside, so not sure.

Atleast they now have a blister for the stand. Shin Getter doesnt have it. The base is taped inside the box and it sucks big time!

i was forced to watched it a while back, he just cant stop giving some crazy information
he said Shin Dragon is stronger than Shin Getter, which is not right, if Dragon was stronger then why did it become Getter Emperor

But wasn't Shin Getter Dragon a stronger unit than Shin Getter 1 in Getter Robo Daikessen? Thought Shin Getter Dragon was a unit that came last (I could be wrong, I have not play the game myself so don't know their actual stats). While I don't follow you on Getter Dragon becoming Emperor has to do with Shin Getter Dragon being strong or not, maybe you can elaborate or educate me on this. Besides, the Getters have so many alternate universe in manga, games, shows, that they are not always in the same timeline/reality. So the wiki guy may not be completely wrong (if he solely based on the Daikessen game), also the answer can change depending on what source you based on.

Though, Shin Dragon didn't make an appearance in the Manga. The original Getter G evolved straight to Emperor after a long hibernation, though in Daikessen they introduced a what if where G left its cocoon early and became Shin Dragon instead. In Armageddon Shin G seems like it was more powerful than Shin Getter, at least in pure mass destruction capabilities. And then the Arc introduced a potential evolution of Shin Getter after it traveled to space in the last episode.

F**k !!! Just realize these part only limited edition exclusive buy at sentinel store I hate sentinel !!!! 😤🤬😡🤯 Yeah, I found out the hard way too, but not as hard as yours. Found out after I placed preorder and used a coupon I saved up with points. So after cancelling my preorder and bought the exclusive at D4Toys, losing my coupon, cancellation penalty, plus the shipping cost difference cost me almost an extra US$100...

I just put on the 'exclusive' Poseidon/Cyclone parts. It is pretty cool. But they made the center hole of the 'spin effect' plastic sheet a bit too tight, so you'll get a bit of stress mark around the hole after putting it on the first time. But it is all covered up by the Poseidon head. If you don't want that to happen, maybe you can sand the hole a little to make it bigger, though too big may make it too 'spinny'. Maybe Sentinel would rather have it more snug (since you can't see the stress mark) than loose, in case the arms or the Poseidon head can scratch the print on it if it is loose and spinny. But I would have preferred Sentinel actually made solid sculpted clear plastic parts for these, to eliminate the issue, instead of printed thin plastic sheets. ...In Armageddon Shin G seems like it was more powerful than Shin Getter, at least in pure mass destruction capabilities. I guess part of the reason I like Shin Getter Dragon so much is because of its appearance in Armageddon, in an era where others getting their upgrades (Mazinkaiser & Shin Getter), nice to see Getter G got its turn. The top half of the robot look so cool and powerful, yet plopped into a weird looking dragon body and never have any legs (even though I knew about the origin and homage on where that design came from). Shin Liger and Shin Poseidon look even more weird LOL. This figure version, as well as its appearance in SRW games, kind of made up for that 'perfect form' I wish it had in Armageddon many years ago.
