Why called Limited Repaint Version?

[Kenichi]

Hi guys,

Would appreciate your inputs on these one. I recently bought an Aoshima Shin Getter 1 Limited Repaint Version. I understand that it has a white chest and the normal has red.

My questions are:
a. Which one is anime accurate and looks better???
b. Which anime movie did the red and white colours appear???
c. Why is it called Limited Repaint?

Now Im thinking of disposing it and get the Double Wing version instead when its out... Im confused now..Please help me decide...Cheers

dude, i don't know anything about this but it just bugs me.. why the hell would you want to dispose of it? ;D just save again to get the Double Wing version.. unless the two are completely the same...

Thanks for the thought dude. Yeah they are different. I'll decide when I have them both already...

Uhm.. I assume we're talking about the original Shin Getter 1, not the more recent Shin Getter from the Oni battles?


A. They're both Anime Accurate, The red one comes from the original "Shin Getter Robo:The Last Day" ("Shin Getter Robo: Armageddon" in the ADV Films US dub)


The white one comes from "Shin Getter Versus Neo Getter" (a different "alternate reality" setting, both OVAs are set in totally unrelated realities from the original Getter Robo series.. or so I've heard).


B. (see A.)



C. It's called a limited repaint because Aoshima only released limited quantities of it (it's the first "reissued" Shin Getter if I remember right).

The standard number of releases for Aoshima gokins is around 3000-5000 units supposedly. The original SG-01 Shin Getter only had 3000 units released if I remember right. The "limited" white chested repaint is around 1500 units I think.

Note that the "limited" white chest version has a "pearl finish". As for preference I still prefer the original released Shin Getter One.

Also note that the upcoming "double winged" Shin Getter is rumored to have "weathered" (matte?) paint finish.

Thanks a lot Gold. Now I fully understand where it came from and appreciate the value of the gokin I acquired. So the damaged Aoshima Getter 1 released recently came from the Neo Getter OVA.

And youre right, I also prefer the original Shin Getter 1 from Armageddon. Looks better. ;D Since it's hard to find it nowadays, Im still happy to keep this my Limited Repaint version. Yup, can't wait for the double wing version.

You are a Chogokin Guru mate. The world of robot collectors wouldn't be the same without you. Hehehe.

Cheers and more power to you bro.
