What I'm sad about is that Neo Getter is my favorite Getter and with all these prototypes, they already have the pieces for a Neo Getter. Getter D2's legs and feet are already NG. Shin Getter did not even make it into the line yet and I would have preferred that.
To be fair though, idk how popular these Getters are compared to Neo Getter.

Looks like they are betting on the anime to push sales on these instead of nostalgia. Time will tell, though I am not optimistic about them, as they don't look that great from a design standpoint, even though they are also designed by Ken Ishikawa.

I agree with you guys... I really think neo getter deserves some love (was betting on sentinel but bandai is also welcome). I also agree this new designs are a bit bland... I dont think these will sold out fast so I'll wait for reviews ect...

The thing that bothers me about the newer Getter designs is that they have too much organic elements haphazardly put on an otherwise still pretty old school 70s clean robot designs. Doesn't seem like Ken Ishikawa spent a lot of time on the robot design, but just whip out something to move the story along (you see plenty of those throw-away Getter designs throughout his different manga titles, like all those trashed Getter prototypes and cannon fodders). What he nailed in his earlier work from Getter 1 to Shin Getter is that they are very clean and cohesive, and the story was more about technology and Getter Ray focused. They look like classic robots, as we all know and love. But with later entries, as the stories are more mythology focused with gods and demons, random organic bits are used more often, which really throws off the look for me (like the Getter D2, has the right head and arms, then the 'bat wing' chest throws off everything, mixed with very angular Neo Getter legs...and that is not even the more weird ones). Getter Arc push it to a whole new level with claws, teeth, monster face and bat wing ears, as well as organic muscles over the body. Imagine instead of Mazinkaiser or Zero as an upgrade, we get a Mazinger Z has eye balls, elf ears, ram horns, toes with pointy toe nails, and hair on his chest. Personally, I definitely prefer the cleaner and more traditional Getter designs all the way up to Shin, with Shin Getter 1 being my all time favorite, while Getter Emperor is the last acceptable one before the design start getting too weird. The newer organic demonic look while canon, just doesn't quite work for me. Though since this is what is trending, I'll go back and read the Getter Arc manga I bought ages ago and possibly watch the new show with an open mind, to see if they can change my impression on these.

Three more days? Damn…. 99 Getter Arc…. 100 Getter Noir G….? What does the future tell YOU? My crystal ball tells me I'm losing interest because it looks like they won't show us anything we haven't already seen.
Here are some links for those who may have missed some of the Getter reveals:
This stuff looks cool, but holds no nostalgia for me. I'll watch from the sidelines.

I doubt it will be ark... it is something they have already showed last year. It would be stupid to make all this countdown to announce something everyone knows it coming. even when it was just a prototype, with the new anime around the corner, everyone knows getter ark soc is happening, it was the only certain release from all those prototypes they showed. GX100 will probably be something we havent seen yet.

Bandai is banking hard on getter arc. Probably because armageddon is what kicked off the mecha revival of the 00s.

Getter Arc for 99? I thought Arc would be 100.
Greengetterguy called it. Maybe Noir G will be 100 as well.

A DX in the SOC mainline? They got me with that one. I might be interested in GX-100 after all.
edit: Looks like it comes with a new Giaking. I wanna get better pics of Bazolar, Nessar and Skylar.

At this price point, if accurate that this is GX-100... It should be a DX
