Anyone else who ordered from HLJ? I had the metallic version on preorder, now the status says backorder, and I got nothing sent out? Hmmm I hope I get it soon!

Is it just me, or does it look sorta inflated like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade character balloon? ;D Figure looks pretty good though. Very nice paint job.

Go figure - that's HLJ for you: take a bunch of pre-orders and not receive enough inventory from their supplier. Kinda defeats the purpose of pre-ordering, doesn't it? I like - but I'm probably not gonna get this one. I didn't really get into the 2004 series. In my warped personal universe - the one and only true Shin Getter was the 13-part OVA from 1999. This particular design borrows a little too much from the original Getter One - the entire lower body seems recycled from the yellow "trunks" to the "A" lines on his shins.

Its very tempting.. it looks better actually when the figure is posed. Kind of tempted to get it now... but that elbow bothers me!!!!!! I think I'll wait.

I'm off the fence!
I'm definitely getting this, only because it completes my Getter Army, and the fact that Aoshima did good by us, by encasing the elbow joint! Unlike that joint on Mazinkaiser!
I'm sold!

I love the look and the fact it comes with two Getter Tomahawks, but from the description and some pictures I've seen it looks like it will be on the small side, maybe 18cm or 71/2 inches, but will be smaller than Shin Getter 1.

Were there any problems that you noticed when you held the original color one?

I saw the Aoshima Shin Getter displayed in a Taipei toy shop (4th Floor Wannian Building). I wasn't too impressed with it. Just as someone commented, Shin Getter looks like a balloon from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. ;D I'm not too sure about the paint. It seems to have imperfections, such as bubbles and nicks. It might be just the one they have at the store. I haven't bought any of the SOC Getters before. I am a fan of the Shin Getter OVA series.
Hey, Zetaking, how much did you get your Aoshima Shin Getter for in Taiwan? I didn't bother to ask how much it was at Wannian.

are you meaning by the limited edition or the regular version? Wannian? Are you in Taiwan? Thats the place where I always go when I am back there. I got the limited for 3000 nt which translates to a tad less than 100
