Change Getter-1, switch on! If you were born in the 80's then you were most likely exposed to the golden age of mecha and you were very likely to know the Getter Robot.

| This weapon is something to behold. The length is longer than the height of the figure itself. |
I have always wanted to get myself a Shin Getter-1. I have my chance when Kaiyodo released one years ago but I missed that opportunity. Fast forward to the present, when I heard that Bandai is going to release Shin Getter-1 in their Super Robot Chogokin line. I ordered mine without a second heartbeat.
Overall, this was a great figure. A big portions of the figure were made of steel so it was rather heavy. Articulation was a bit limited due to the design of the joints. Paint application was good with little to minor flaw. The only complaint I have with this figure was the price tag and the limited accessories. This figure was priced at 25% higher than the older release from the Super Robot Chogokin series. Shin Getter-1 was slightly taller than my other figures from the Super Robot Chogokin line but I do not see that as a good reason for the high price tag. The least that Bandai should do was gave us a generous amount of accessories but that was not meant to be.
If you can look over those issue, this Shin Getter-1 is the figure for your collection.
