Getter Robo Armageddon - Getter 1

Go Nagai's iconic mecha was given a slick update while retaining its classic look in Getter Robo Armageddon. Bandai released the original Getter trio way back in the ancient time known as 2001.

Loaded with detail, poseability, and some fun little extra bits, it's a dynamite release. Hit the jump to learn more!

Revoltech - Dix-Neuf

The first Revoltech featured on Getter Newtype is Dix-Neuf from the Gainax OVA Diebuster! The 19th created Buster Machine in service, Dix-Neuf (French for 19) is also the oldest, said to be thousands of years old. Because of this, the biomechanical warrior has accumulated hundreds of lifetimes worth of battle experience. He can fight ably on his own, but his true power is unlocked when controlled by one of the Earth's few specially powered pilots, the Topless. Hit the jump to learn about gangster-inspired mecha!

Getter Robo G - Getter Liger (Star Arrow)

Our second super robot from Getter Robo G, it's the speedy Getter Liger! Produced by Bandai as part of its Soul of Chogokin line, it's a faithful representation of the Getter Robo's Liger formation. The Liger is specially adapted to operations on land, especially underground. The Getter Liger's pilot, Hayato, skillfully uses the giant drill of his robot both as a weapon and a tool. Hit the jump to learn more about this lanky, stylish mecha!

Getter Robo G - Getter Poseidon (Star Poseidon)

Let me start this off by saying one thing. I love all things Getter Robo. This blog is called Getter Newtype because I am the half of the review crew that is obsessed with all things Getter. I first got hooked as a young kid watching Starvengers, the Force Five translation of Getter Robo G.
