The long waited last simple change is finaly just landed in my home. It is the Getter 3. I had also the simple change Getter 1 and Getter 2 bought some years ago. So now the "trio" is complete. But the mecha design of this getter 3 is different than before. Also the colors are different and it is a bit more little. The trasparent emerald green of getter machine 1's windows is awesome. I bought the mecha directly from Studio Halfeye factory so i got the long arms like bonus. In every case the 3 getter machine can combine for transform in the getter 3. It is marine module of Getter robo anime TV series. Studio Half eye has also annunced a new version of simple change Getter 1 & 2 so all three mecha will have the same design. In the last pics you can see the Getter 3 simple change with the perfect change in getter 3 mode.

it really looks great, far better improve than the previews one not only in the aesthetics but as well the accuracy. but can't blame the old one for what it was since it was trying to be 3 robots at same time.

Hehe, that box looks a bit oversized if you ask me Something bugs me though: this Getter 3 is small right? The web page said 55 millimetres, that's a bit over 2 inches. Then how comes that the price is so high? I know what you might be saying, it's SHE, it is an accurate-transformation Getter 3 and it is hand made. But still, 20k yen for a 2-inch robot

i dont know because some people are obsession with the measures .... maybe because of the size of their own little sex (joking of course ). Anyway this is a SHE "simple change" so the size is little but really well detailed. Dont forget that Studio Halfeye is Haijme Takashima so a little house in Yokohama. It is not Bandai they are crafts products hand made 100% in Japan not china, taiwan or other asian region, produced in really few kit (some tens) they are composed by a lots of little detailed parts. Every parts created with his mold and painted directly in it. Perfect transformations without removing parts. not possible with diecast robot. The components can be rotated and moved without removed it

The components can be rotated and moved without removed it I agree with e everyhing except when you said it was not possible with diecast. Resin used in the SHE figures is solid, just like diecast is solid. If the SHE figure's parts would be made out of diecast, it would transform exactly the same way. }D

Being that these SHE figure are already super expensive as is. Casting did cast part would cost a lot more. Their main reason for not using die cast due mainly to the weak ball joint system they use in their design. Die cast part would probably be too heavy for them ball joints. And cause they use resin, they really can't used ratchet type joints. They could cast some die cast parts for these simple change figures though, cause there isn't much transformation. I have the Getter 1 and the feet could of been cast in die cast. But it was already an expensive 4 inch tall figure. I didn't get Getter 2 and have no interest in this Getter 3.

Yes, but I was no referring to price. I was referring to the possibility of the components being made out of diecast. Also, instead of diecast, I should've said metal, since small diecast moving parts tend to be fragile. We all know (SHE figure owners) that SHE pretty much requires the use of a screwdriver when the joints are going to be manipulated. Taking that into consideration, all the same resin parts could be made out of metal, and the end result would be the same. The only advantage I see to using resin is that it does not have to be painted over. The metal, on the other hand, has to be painted or powder coated. So, the friction of the moving parts would eventually cause paint chipping. }D
