Intro: Figure we're going to review today is from Kaiyodo's Revoltech series (Kaiyodo). For those who do not know, Revoltech's selling point comes from the 'Revolver' joints which all the figures have. This allows a much more dynamic pose for the figures because of the ratchet like joints resides internally and the revoltech joints lasts longer compared to other conventional joints which tend to wear out after sometime. This Getter #1 figure is molded from OVA (Orignal Video Anime) Change! Getter-Robo series (真（チェンジ!!）ゲッターロボ 世界最後の日).
OBE: (Out of Box Experience) Well, they redesigned the packaging, now the box opens above as oppose to the sides. This way you can keep the little paper wrapper in front of the box intact. Fresh inside the box, Getter sits there in his plastic case, the moment it was taken out and checked, we noticed that the knee has paint chip problem. Well, it is quite noticeable, but not while it's in the box. You have to twist the revoltech joints to reveal it. Too bad, next... tried to twist the elbow. Guess what, the left one turns fine... right joints would not even budge. After some frustrating minutes gone by trying to pry the thing open, we finally come to a conclusion that it might be mis-glued together. A few slice of the side of the joints proofs that we're right. The joint finally moves! Shame of the fellow who glued it in the first place! Other than this, there is no other complaints. It has 2 machine guns with knife attached at the end of the barrel, 2 axes, a few different fists to pose and the all important... display stand! Display stand is not included in all Revoltech figures... only some have them(EVA series particularly do not have them).
Pros: Highly poseable like the rest of the Revoltech series. Nice weapons included and also display stand.
Cons: Paint job problem on the left knee, mis-glued left elbow joint.
Rating: 8/10 (would have given 9 if no paint job problem and mis-glued elbow joint.)
Enjoy the rest of the pics! Go! Getter Robo!
