Hi all,
I'm still working on my "Lego Nagai" collection, this time I've prototyped my version of Getter 1, another 70's super robot originally designed by Go Nagai of Mazinger / Grendizer / Cutey Honey / Devilman fame. The cartoon showed three jets that could combine, and according to the combining order, the resulting robot would be more suited to certain tasks. The transformation is practically impossible in real life so I've skipped the possibility with my 20cm figure. But I might still work on Getter 2 and 3 when the mood takes me !
Here are some pics :
I tried and built a version with a more rounded face and more "holes", as in the original cartoon (for robot's eyes and pilot's cockpit) but the robot ended up looking like an ugly machine from Matrix, so I came back to my semi-cyclops 4-petal plate !
And a special version to say "enough with war !" - Getter is not carrying his "Getter Tomahawk" club / axe this time :

Hope you like it. Enjoy !
