Getter Robo
Getter Robo arrived in 1974 with an idea nobody had tried before: three vehicles that combine into different robots depending on how they join together. Created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa, the series pioneered the combining robot concept that countless anime would later build upon, with each configuration suited to a different environment. The franchise grew darker and more ferocious over the years. Shin Getter Robo pushed the designs to intimidating extremes, while the 1998 OVA Change!! Getter Robo: The Last Day of the World, widely known as Getter Robo Armageddon, remains a fan favourite for its uncompromising tone and spectacular mecha animation.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
Diecast action figures are the natural home for this franchise, echoing the heavy metal toys that accompanied the original series. Our selection centres on the POSE+ Metal Heat series Shin Getter 2 by POSE+, a premium diecast action figure based on the Armageddon OVA. Metal construction gives the figure genuine heft in hand, while its articulation is built for the aggressive, dynamic poses the character demands, signature drill included. Pieces like this are engineered for collectors who want their display shelf to carry real presence rather than lightweight plastic.
Why Collectors Love It
The combining gimmick is only the beginning. Ishikawa's manga gave the franchise a raw, untamed energy that still sets it apart, with machines that feel less like tools and more like forces of nature. Getter 2 in particular has long been a favourite, a lean silhouette defined by its drill arm and associated with blistering speed. Armageddon's designs took all of that further, giving Shin Getter's forms a menace that modern figure makers love to capture. For collectors of super robots, this lineage sits alongside the greats of the genre.
