i guess is made short since of the extension part for its legs articulation, if he had it extended he could be same or a bit more taller than the original Getter G. Oh no, not again!!! Another SOC that will be displayed with his BALLS hanging out just because he is shorter than its predecessor. If the size difference is really important, don't display them together... that's what I do. ;D }D

although the extension part is good because it gives more articulation for the figure, i was hoping it would be more like Revoltech style.
i don't like the idea of extending the leg parts

Compared to most of his other SOC bretheren, he looks kinda stubby short. Nice paintjob, but looks stubby.
I'd think Bandai would try to find another way to extend the legs for height without Dropping the figure's balls through its underwear... ...perhaps extending the legs from the thighs, instead of the hips... the outter thigh would contain an inner thigh that slides/clicks out.
I dunno. I have to wonder why go balls out trying to articulate a diecast action-figure to such extreme articulations; it's a Robot, Not some athlete practicing Yoga. Even a robot wouldn't articulate so extremely in real life. <sigh>... it's because that's Anime. ;D

Actualy you can display them with the Metaltech Grendizer they should be about the same size.

Mine came in the mail today but I wasn't home to sign for it, guess I'll pick it up tomorrow. But it's smaller than I hoped, I hope this isn't a trend to downsize the whole line and just effects the newer designs.

It's a trade off. If it were bigger in size, it would be reflected in the increased cost. And that would set off a slew of complaints. I'm curious RJ memebrs: would you pay MORE for the Dragon if it were, say, 1" or so taller?

The "new standard" was set during the new joint has been used on the Shin Mazinger Z. I believe from now on the small size SOC will base on that "standard"!!

Really didn't expect it to be shorter than the old SOC Getter Dragon. Does make it look out of place, when placed with the Aoshimas too, with both Getter 1, Black Getter & Shin Getter 1 all towering over Dragon. Hmm.... kind of hurt its big, beefy appearance, when Dragon turned out to be a cool, but short chubby guy.

Damn it! I just knew it would look great beside my Aoshima getters! I guess I could make it work somehow though.
