I got all three of the getter team robots as a christmas gift (: However, are the arm joints at the elbow stiff on the Dragon Robot, and I have a hard time articulating them, same for Liger.

@MrMaxguy1 Hmmm.... I am wondering if they are stiff because they have been made for such a long time ago and that the stiffness comes because they have never been played with. Perhaps they will loosen up a little if you move them around a little more. And apologies for the late reply. Have a good 2012! =)

Wonderful review as usual, Charles! Your channel rules, man.

You are to the point and includes everything we need to know.

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@VanDammedia Thanks for the compliments as always my friend. =)

The show where this robot stars, Getter Robo G was broadcast in the USA long ago as part of Jim Terry's Force Five series: The Starvengers, the original Getter Dragon Chogokin and Jumbo Machinder was also imported to the USA as Dragun in their Shogun Warriors line.

@nightslash3535 Thanks for the background information of this series. Seems like they did something similar to what Harmony Gold did by importing 3 Japanese series and consolidating them into the Robotech series.

forgot to show his leg wings!

[nightslash3535]

Yes, but the Robotech series seemed to be better since they managed to refine the story and original script while still true to their Macross/Mospeada/Southern Cross counterparts.

[nightslash3535]

I wish Bandai would make Shin Dragon, Liger and Poseidon in their SOC line.

I would love it if bandai would release the liger and Poseidon figures alongside gx51 but a re release of the 18 19 20 would be better! I want the launchers and gett machines too :-(

[nightslash3535]

Speaking of which, Getters Liger and Poseidon Chogokin and Jumbo Machinders were also imported to the USA under the name Raider and Poseidon respectively. Their Force Five versions were named Star Arrow and Star Poseidon while Getter D was named Star Dragon.
