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.

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.

Fewture Ex Gokin Getter Poseidon

Getter Poseidon was the successor to Getter 3 in Getter Robo G. It was formed with the machine Poseidon-Dragon-Liger set up combination and it was piloted by Benki Kurama, assisted by Ryoma Nagare and Hayato Jin.

The chest part can be flipped over to review the chest compartment which house the Getter Reactor.

The rib cage was lowered to protect the Getter Reactor.

The articulated arm of Getter Poseidon.

Getter Poseidon came with an extra set of legs. This was the default leg.

The default legs can be swapped out with these track legs.

This leg have some degree of articulation in the ankle it is very detailed.

Time to test our might!

The chest housed a number of missiles. Getter Poseidon also comes with a pair of open-hand with articulated fingers.

Getter Cyclone! The fan at the base of the head can generate a sharp burst of air to decimate an opponent.

Poseidon Punch!

You will be in trouble if you see Getter Poseidon reaching out for you.

Ikuzo! Hayato! Benkei!

I have bought both Getter Dragon and Getter Liger so I am compelled to get Getter Poseidon. Fewture have once again produced a very good gokin figure. The design is slick and very true to the original. Articulations were good and a huge improvement over Fewture's product from the previous years. My only complaint regarding this figure was the finishing. There were something which looks like finger prints on the figure especially on the chest piece. It does not stand out so you wont be able to see it unless you focus your attention on the area. This will truly be a masterpiece if Fewture can step up their efforts in improving the quality of their finishing.

Fewture Ex Gokin Getter Liger

Getter 2 gets an upgrade in the form of Getter Liger in Getter Robo G. It was formed with the machine Liger-Poseidon-Dragon set up combination and it was piloted by Hayato Jin, assisted by Benki Kurama and Ryoma Nagare.

Front view of Getter Liger. It is smaller than it's brother, Getter Dragon but still pack quite a lot of weight.

Close up on Getter Liger.

Getter Liger came with the Getter Liger Machine.

Close up on the internal. The skull feels funny. I cannot describe what seems to be wrong with it. It could be that sinister smirk/smile. The Getter Reactor is sitting nicely inside the chest compartment.

The rib cage was lowered to protect the Getter Reactor.

Close up on the right arm. There was a lot detail on every inch of the figure.

Close up on the left arm. It functioned as a canister to conceal the weapons on Getter Liger.

Look at those sexy legs!!! Do not get me wrong. I do not have any leg fetish.

The left arm can be opened for weapon deployment.

This figure came with a chain weapon and a Liger missile.

The weapon is attached using a magnet mechanism. Chain attack!

Liger Missile!!!

There was a total of 3 different hand to choose from which can be attached to the arm.

The right hand on Liger can be transformed into a gigantic drill. Drill Arm!!!

I knew I was in trouble when I bought Getter Dragon. I was awed by the design and detail of the figure. I knew I have to get it's brothers too so once Getter Liger was up for preorder, I quickly secured mine without a second thought. Imagine how excited I was when I returned home from work a day or 2 ago and found this big box sitting at my home with labels telling me that Getter Liger is in the house. I postponed all my evening plans to do a quick unboxing and then took Liger out for some inspection. I have to admit that this was another great release by Fewture, the Getter Liger on par with what I have expected. The only complaint I have with this figure was the panel line. Some panel lines were not painted while some were painted in a very haphazard way. Fewture really needs to step up on the quality control especially on their finishing. With that aside, it is safe to say that Getter Liger is another masterpiece which you should not miss if you can afford to pay for the hefty price.

Fewture Ex Gokin Mazinger 40th Anniversary Version

Mazinger Z was acknowledged as one of the most well-known robot from the Golden Age of Mecha. It was created by Dr. Juzo Kabuto and it was later piloted by his grandson, Koji Kabuto.

Close up on Mazinger. The head spot an evil and vicious design.

Kabuto piloted a Hover Pilder.

Pilder On!!! Mazin! Go!!!

Come! Kikaiju!!!

Here is a knuckle sandwich!

Not getting enough? Here is another!

Rocket Punch!!!

Size comparison between Mazinger and Leader Class Optimus Prime.

This Mazinger was a reissue in conjunction to Go Nagai's 40th Anniversary celebration. It spotted a different colour scheme which was more fateful to the original anime series. 

It would have been very difficult to find this figure nowadays because this have been out for years even if you are willing to sacrifice your first born to the devil. I consider myself lucky because I accidentally bumped into this while I was honeymooning in Hong Kong a while ago. It was slightly more expensive from the retail price but it was worth it. I told the shop assistant that I wanted to look at the figure and once everything was proven in order. I paid up in cash without looking back.

The articulation was good but not as impressive as the later Ex Gokin releases. The paint job was nicely done but there were still some flaws here and there but it was not too prominent. I was reluctant to pose it aggressively for I was afraid to chip off the paint during the process. My only issue with this release was the lack of accessories. The original release came with the jet scrander and 2 extra hands with cutter on it. In order to complete this figure, I will have to hunt for the add-on parts separately which will most likely cost me another few hundred bucks. That aside, this is a great release from Fewture and it is a must have if you are a Mazinger fan.
