Getta 3

Getta Robo 3 was the ugly duckling of the early Popy toys. It was sqat and simply not limber. Kids shuned it, sales stagnated, and it then became obscure.  

Currently GR 3 doesn't come up for sale too often. It is a gem in the collectors eyes and, speaking of gems, has two ruby-like gems as headlights. This is quite a weird feature, only comparable to white gems used in Kremler, GodSigma, and a few other toys that came later.

Above is box art that traces to Jumbo toys and prototypes, not the later production Getta Robo 3.
