Getter Dragon was the successor for Getter 1 in Getter Robo G. It was formed with the machine Dragon-Liger-Poseidon configuration and it was piloted by no other than Ryoma Nagare assisted by Hayato Jin and Benki Kurama.
Front view of Getter Dragon. This was a huge chunk of gokin. |
Close up on Getter Dragon. Details were littered all over the place. |
Size comparison with Black Getter 1. Getter Dragon was about 1 inch taller. |
Getter Dragon Machine. How I wish that it was transformable. |
The chest can be opened up to review the Getter Reactor inside. |
Close up on the arm. It has a joint at the elbow and the shoulder. The hand was attached with a ball joint. |
Close up on the leg. There were tons of detail here. The leg was hold in by 3 major joints. One at the ankle, another at the knee and lastly on the hip. |
Getter Dragon with the Getter Wing attached. The wing adds another level of detail on the figure. |
It is time to bring out the props. Getter Tomahawk! |
The Tomahawk was a double bladed axe. It was a finely crafted weapon. |
What is better than a Tomahawk? What about double Tomahawk? |
It has been a while Fewture produced another figure for their Ex Gokin line. All this while it was just a reissue/repaint version of the Getter 1,2 and 3. Everyone was excited when Fewture announced the Getter Dragon, Liger and Poseidon. I missed the chance to preorder the Getter Dragon and so I thought it might not meant to be mine. I was given a second chance to purchase this figure and I grab it without looking back. The design of this figure was awe inspiring. Sato sensei must have poured a lot of work into designing it and the sculptors did an excellent job translating the design from paper into the figure which we can see now. The articulation was limited but sufficient enough to do it's job. The finishing was nicely done but there are a few places which were not painted at all. The area at the side of the hand padding was not painted. It was an annoyance to me. Not to mention that some of the panel lines were half painted over. Fewture really needs to improve their quality control on these. Even with those apparent issue with the finishing, Getter Dragon is still a great figure and you should grab one too if you can afford it.
