Fewture Ex Gokin Getter 2

Getter 2 was piloted by Hayato Jin with the assistance of Benki Kurama and Ryoma Nagare in the original Getter Robo anime/manga.

Getter 2 was the most petite among the 3 Getter Robo configuration.

Close up on Getter 2. It has a good amount of diecast metal on it.

Getter 2 came with the Getter 2 machine.

Getter 2 with the Getter Reactor inserted into the chest compartment.

The lower chest armor used to conceal and protect the reactor.

The shin can be lowered to review the Getter energy tube.

Close up on the face.

Tilt the the head up and the skeletal feature such as the grinning skull can be seen.

Both arms were equipped with a pair of gigantic claw.

Either one of the arm can be removed and reattached with the iconic Getter Drill.

The drill was a huge chunk of resin/plastic so it was difficult to have the joint hold it in place.

Getter Drill!!!

If you were not satisfied with the thin drill bit, it can be replaced with this gigantic cone bit.

Drill on mecha was made popular by Getter 2 way before Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was around.

Since I was a late to the Fewture Ex Gokin series, I have problem trying to hunt this old release down with the limited budget which I have with me. This figure suffers a lot in terms of balancing and articulation. The slim design with a high center of balance makes it a challenge to keep this figure up right. The weak joints on the legs does not help either. The arms suffer a similar issue especially when either of the drill was attached to the arm. Despite the issue, this version of Getter 2 is still a masterpiece and is really something to behold.
