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.

Close up on Getter Poseidon.

Getter Poseidon came with the Getter Poseidon Machine.

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.

D-Arts X (San Diego Comic Con Limited Edition)

Bandai produced a D-Arts figure exclusively for the San Diego Comic Con which was the much beloved Blue Bomber, Mega Man X.

Out-of-the-box content. It was exactly the same with the regular release.

Front view of the figure. The chrome finishing was very eye catching.

Close up on the figure.

The regular version looks pale in comparison to the chromed version.

We do not negotiate with the Mavericks!

 

Ready! Aim! FIRE!!!

It is time to put this buster to good use!

The articulation was as good as the regular version.

Charged buster shot!

I was reluctant to get this chrome X for the exorbitant price tag it was put on sell in the secondary market. Fortunately, I stumble upon this while I was on honeymoon in Hong Kong and I remember paying around USD80 for mine which was acceptable for me. It has all the pros found in the regular version such as the great articulation, good proportion, sharp detail and a good amount of accessories. I have mixed feeling towards the chrome finishing. On one hand, the finishing looks great! There are some imperfection on the seam lines but that is still acceptable to a certain extent. On the other hand, the chrome finishing reduced the freedom of articulation on the figure. It was very likely for the parts on the figure to make contact with each other and in the process chipped or scratched the chromed surface. That was one of the reason why I was reluctant to pose it vigorously during the photoshot. That aside, it was still a very nice addition to my Mega Man X collection. Grab this if you can find one for a reasonable price.
