Just watched KotM and GVK, what are the best figures to get of the monsters? Hiya or SHF?
>>10980823Even the grimdark of 2000s and hyper violence of 90s were better than the woke of current era if entertainment.
>>10980848Hiya has unique molds like Muto and skull devil and shimo. There is no comparison because SHF didn’t do those characters.
>>10980818Please give us figures of those rangers, maybe Jada?
>>10980848From those two movies? Unquestionably hiya.
Rewatched Godzilla VS King Gidorah again, so the Godzilla from return and Biollante is just displaced from time then huh? Has there ever been any media about what happened to him? With the Futurians hovering over him at the beginning of the film when Godzilla was fucked up from the bacteria and that factoid about animals being easier to teleport when they aren't moving and, I'm going to fanfic that the future people teleported the original Heisei Goji through time to the future to make him into a Gigan-esque weapon, that's preferable to him just being gone. He could then be brought back into the past to get revenge and he has to fight Gozilla Junior.And to make the post actually /toy/ related I decided to get the Mecha King Ghidorah SHMA, I'm running out of shelf space. I mostly got it since it's the only viable figure rep of that silly Terminator knockoff, GVKG is such a silly film with some really heartfelt moments.
>>10981472Considering Biollante is reference in GvsSpaceGodzilla and the Super X in GvsDestoroyah is called Super X3, I don't think '80s Godzilla was displaced at all. I think the Futurians tried to get rid of Godzillasaurus but he just ended up becoming Godzilla again anyway through some other means.
>>10981505The subs on the torrent I watched might be fucked but the wiki says a soviet sub crashed near the dino at some point before 1984 and that it was still the same Godzilla throughout the events of Heisei, but in the version I watched they didn't confirm anything about soviets, they only speculated on there being nuclear waste in the area. The godzilla from before the time travel did disappear though and I guess he was just totally replaced with the new timeline one, there's definitely potential for a story in there somwhere.
>>10980918you're a gay aren't you?
>>10981472>>10981505>>10981518The way I always figured it, they never realized there were two Godzillas. They changed the Godzilla who attacked in 1954, they changed the fate of the second one. The one they moved still ended up becoming the one who attacked in 84. To get more fanwanky, the timeline disruption is why I like to think the Heisei and Showa timelines split after 54. It doesn't really make sense, but like to think time being altered caused ripple effects.
>>10980823>wokeyou wont explain why because you dont know what that word means. barf
>>10981592He's talking about you.
>>10981592Stop having sex with animals you degenerate freak.
>>10981574This is close to the theory I saw.Bascially they didn't change anything, it was a Terminator situation, they were always meant to go back to transport that Godzillasaurus which eventually would get hit by a sub to attack in the 80s.And 50s Godzilla was somewhere else on that island and got transformed normally.
>>10981574>>10981798It's probably not even that complicated, I think the Futurians just didn't change anything about the past at all, but rather the future. That is, everything that happened up to the day they time travel still happened. All they did was change how Godzilla emerged (or re-emerged) to after they came back. The point is that Godzilla is inevitable, past present and future.
I need Godzilla's bones, Bandai. Sell me Godzilla's skeleton so that I can autistically figure out if Godzilla is a Sauropsid or a Synapsid
>>10982193The original bones look different from what you'd think.
>>10982193There was a gacha figure of Godzilla's skeleton released about two years ago. Super7 also recently released a Godzilla skeleton figure in their 3inch figure line.
>>10981598>>10981633Yup, samefag has no idea
>>10982261Hello, would you please stop shitting up these threads with your bait? Try literally any other thread. Thank you.
>>10982197Poor fella, he should visit his grandma more often
>>10982223I got the overpriced gacha bones for both Goji and Ghidorah. I'm mostly saying I want Bandai to hurry up and release MV Goji's skeleton.
>>10982193>figure out if Godzilla is a Sauropsid or a SynapsidExplain your findings thus far, your nerding interests me.
Why doesn't Bandai release their products during their theatrical runs instead of waiting for public attention and hype to cool off? I would've bought Shimo and power glove Kong right after I watched the movie if they had them available.
>>10983852The effects on movies get tweaked until it's way too late to have the toys released on time. Studios don't care about the toy tie-ins anymore.
>>10983852Thats how you end up with a toy that resembles the concept art and not the character in the final movie
>>10980320All these stupid cashgrab collaborations are so tiring. It just makes me start to hate Power Rangers.
>>10980320Sorry OP but this is the shittiest pic to use for the thread, nobody would come across this thumbnail and think this is the Godzilla general
>>10983852The GMO merch came out before the film released in Japan, and GxK was just released there. They're proably banking on nostalgia releases first in case they hate the movie over there.
>>10984240Do we really ever get new people joining these threads? I feel like it's been the same 12 people for awhile
>>10983507Started out leaning toward Synapsid like most of the previous Godzillas. Showa, Heisei, and at least KiryuGoji all have skulls that are almost definitively those of a synapsid because of their single temporal fenestra. The presence of mammal-like external ears in several of the Showa, Heisei, and Millenium designs also pushes far more toward Godzilla being a Synapsid, even though he's often called a dinosaur in the Show and Heisei eras. Instead of being a dinosaur, Goji is more like a Sphenacodontid like Dimetrodon.The picture of Dagon's skeleton from G14 lined up with the older "Godzilla is a Synapsid" idea, and was even more extreme in how mammalian it was despite losing the external ears. Dagon's skull almost looks like a bear skull. The promo for GxK and the new Bandai Skeleton for MV Goji is a huge shift away from Godzilla is a Synapsid to Godzilla is a Sauropsid and even more it looks like Godzilla is some kind of Archosauromorph. He's got an Antorbital fenestra which is only found in Archosaurs like dinosaurs and basal Crocodylomorphs. His Naris is much more reptilian than the more mammal Naris of the older Godzilla.
>>10980320Got my monkey today, not bad.
>>10984685Do you keep track? These are the anons I have in mind:-The one that calls MV Mothra an ugly flea.-The one that has the diorama buildings.-The one that wants to fuck Godzilla.-The one that makes 3D models.-The one that's gay and had a Godzilla themed birthday.-The one that has the plastic risers with all the Super 7 Ultimates.-The one that's always calling SEAfag other anons.Some of them might even be the same person.
>>10984685I must be one of those 12.I've been here since 2014, 2013? Maybe earlier?
>>10984976I'm glad that I'm not notable enough to be listed here even though half the posts are always me
New releases on the American Godzilla store!
>>10985016Hey, it's Showa Shimo from the canceled Godzilla vs. The Ice Dragon movie. Crazy that they just used an older damaged Godzilla suit and painted it blue and white
>>10984976>The one that wants to fuck Godzilla.Can you blame them?
>>10984885Played with it a bit more, the middle torso part is annoying since it likes coming apart.
>>10985280needs gauntlet and metal tooth
>>10983852The GvK and KOTM Monsterarts ended up going on clearance, so I think Bandai wanted to gauge the popularity of GxK before committing to firm production numbers.
>>10985280I really dont know why they painted on the scars for the new release instead of just using the Comic Con chest mold which had the slashed sculpted in
>>10985112Yiff in hell, furry.
>>10985112>>10985855that ain't no furry mate, that's a scaly, not the samei wouldn't fuck godzilla either, i'd rather let him fuck me
>>10983372The spines aren't connected?
>>10985016I didnt know of this site, thanks anon.
>>10984685I've started to get into Goji figure collecting since Minus One, before then I only had the 4th night Shin Godzilla SHMA and Neca figures. KOTM is what made me watch through the entire film catalogue up to then.
>>10986395There's actually a split second moment in Godzilla vs Kong when kong jumps onto godzillas back and you can see them fold off to the side slightly. Neat detail.
>>10986395I went and looked at pictures of stegosaurus skeletons and none of them that I saw had plates that were connected to the spine. I had actually never noticed that before, so I guess its accurate to other animals that had a similar feature.
>>10984854I see. Yes. Interesting.
>>10986395Spikes like that would be modified scales and thus not part of the skeleton or made of bone.
>>10982193Why is there a picture of Jackie Chan?
Look at what came in
>>10987932that's cool, I kind of wish the eyes and mouth were painted like they are with the silver metallic version, but I get what its going for and why its plain.
>>10987932Nice! Can't wait for mine!>>10986896What scale accessories even fit Hiya/SHM like this?
>>10987932Lucky bastard. No idea why my Amazon copy won't come until September.
>>10986501Welcome to the crew.
>>10987932Looks better than I expected! I'm gonna rewatch this one today with my ex:(
Finally got Spacegodzilla, so the Heisei shelf is almost complete. Moguera's already pre-ordered so I just need Ghidorah, Mothra, and Battra to get another reissue. I also might need a bigger shelf
>>10987932that looks tacky as hell
>>10988760yeah you do
>>10987932Mine should hopefully be here by Tuesday. It would be here by now if my dumbass didn't contact zenmarket about the figure. Atleast shipping was really cheap ($30)
>>10988747Very nice, anon. MKG is tempting for the price, and Biollante's aftermarket price is starting to come down. I just don't like the movie enough for the shelf space. Also, you should get the upcoming 1991 Godzilla MMS too.
>>10987932Ordered mine from Side7 and it's saying August/September release. Anyone else get delayed ship?
>>10989742>$160Jesus Christ man just use a proxy. You overpaid
>>10989745Every time I've used a proxy the fees equal out to about the same as this. What a good one now?
>>10989747Zenmarket is what I use. I maybe payed like $120 for the whole thing including shipping
>>10989742I think because the figure in this set is actually the Monster King series.
>>10988747Nice. It's pretty much the same for me, just missing Battra, Little and Destoroyah. Also picked-up Hedorah for my birthday, really liking him so far.
>>10989731>MKG is tempting for the price, I like him and his accessories are great, but his left head loves to fall off at even the slightest touch >Biollante's aftermarket price is starting to come down. I just don't like the movie enough for the shelf spaceVs, Biollante is my favorite Heisei movie so it was an easy choice for me, but she is an absolute unit. Her, MV Ghidorah, and Irys are real shelf hogs. >Also, you should get the upcoming 1991 Godzilla MMS too.I've got the first SHMA Godzilla and 89 so I mostly think I'm fine with Heisei Goji's. I might pick up the MMS, Hiya, or SHMA, but I'm pretty indifferent to getting a third Heisei Godzilla.>>10989854>LittleYou reminded me that I forgot that I still need Junior.>DestoroyahI'll probably still end up picking up the SHMA when he gets his inevitable 3rd release from SHMA, but I really like the size difference of the Super7 when compared to the SHMA Godzilla, plus like 80% of the people I know who bought the SHMA Destroyah have had their wings break.>Also picked-up Hedorah for my birthday, really liking him so far.Hedorah is a fantastic figure. I'd say that SHMA has been killing it with their Showa figures, but even though Gigan looks amazing, I hate posing him because of his fins. Hedorah looks like a collector's figure should, but is still easy to play with without fear of breaking him.
I've been collecting middle CCP hedorah since 2022 and never opened them till now. (I'm skipping the smokestack ones though) I just think Hedorah is neat.
>>10990176nice, the metallic blue and nightmare version are my favorite
>>10990176Cruddy quick pic, but i just got my first full size hedorah. Ive kept this lil guy for 15 years, gonna grab a hedorah off of the godzilla store next since i know it exists now. Cant afford the high end stuff but i enjoy the few kaiju i do have.
>>10990176I've become a hedorah addict as well. Got something of him from every company. One thing I'll say is that the monsterarts isn't worth it. His design doesn't need the joints, they made his eyes really dim for some reason and worst of all their '72 Godzilla towers over him.
hey don't go around misgendering hedorah you lot, it's a she
>>10990828Actually its a glob
>>10990176>>10990688I didn't get the appeal of Hedorah's design as a kid. I do now. I only own one (Super7 Reaction) but I really like it.
May have the newest jap specials double ordered. If so I'll sell them for cheap
>>10990688Noooo why did you tell me about that I thought I had them all.Now I have to religiously check the toho store and retailers so I don't miss out. Is there a Godzilla news site to follow this stuff
>>10990006At least you know enough is enough lol. 1991 is actually my favorite, so I really just gotta pull the trigger on the pair of SHMAs. But honestly I'm holding out for reguler KG. Optimistic waiting for another Destroyah Reissue though.
>>10987932>>10988760It reminds me of a tinfoil wrapped easter bunny and I want to eat it
>>10991078I want to eat you
>>10989779Wait, there's a difference in what godzilla comes with it?This is the one coming with it
>>10991185here; looks like you were right about the MMS -1 version. What's the one everyone else is getting?
>>10991190Except with a custom tail
>>10991196
>>10984205I'm sorry, Mothra Ranger alone is way radder than that Anno fusion abomination this general was pogging out about.
>>10990006Biollante is one of my favorite monsters other than Godzilla. When I started collecting SHMA last year, I made it top priority to get her and King Ghidorah first.
>>10991219Mine is Final Wars Gigan but Biollante is next on the list. Would love to have that fig if I can ever find her for non-absurd prices. Fantastic shot btw!
>>10991221I admit that I overpaid for her. Only because I found someone selling the Special Color Variant for pretty close to retail and with free shipping. I'm Hoping that since next year is the anniversary of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah that we get reissues of Buring Goji, Junior and Destoroyah. Thanks for the compliant, I love taking photos of my Monsterarts even if they don't as much attention.
>>10991185Sorry, my bad. Apparently the Amazon.jp exclusive Mosnter King figure is in fact NOT bundled with the BD. Whoops. Still glad I ordered it, even though it was a pretty penny for just the figure.
Any guesses?I'm thinking Cyber Dragon, Red Eyes Darkness Dragon or Rainbow Dragon.Flame Wingman is my biggest want though.
Cyber End Dragon? Ultimate Tyranno? Flame Wingman? YUBEL?!DES KOALA?!?!?!?!
>>10991567Ancient gear golem
>>10991575Master of Oz.
>>10991567>>10991573Give me Venominaga
>>10991567I'm amazed they're already doing something outside of the original era since there's still a ton of potential monsters there. I'd also like to say Flame Wingman but just due to proportions he'd feel more like a Figuarts, as only his wings feel like Monsterarts. I'd assume they'll pull from a monster used in the show, so a Cyber Dragon? Winged Kuriboh Lvl 10? If it was 5Ds Stardust Dragon would be a pretty obvious one.Excited to hear that more is coming, but hopefully none of these companies step on each other's toes. And where are the SHF? A lot of the main monsters from the show and popular ones are humanoid after all.
>>10991738I feel like Bandai's weird about overlapping monsterarts and figuarts, like unless I'm forgetting something no series has figures in both the lines.Like all the Ultraman kaiju are under the Figuarts brand, same goes for Shenron and Porunga from the Dragonball line, meanwhile Jet Jaguar is a Monsterart.
>>10991894That's a fair point, ya, I can't think of a precedent where any brand has both SHMA and SHF. Are there any examples of a smaller humanoid monster in SHMA? There's Kong and like you mentioned Jet Jaguar (both versions), but their proportions aren't exactly humanoid in the way that someone like Dark Magician is. If they don't ever target those kinds of monsters that would seem like a pretty big missed opportunity for Yu-Gi-Oh since like I mentioned a lot of the popular ones would be more in-line with SHF sizing and proportions. It also seems like a mistake if they do tackle a monster like Dark Magician since one would think the expertise of designers in handling articulation for humanoids would be with the SHF team (and I'm going to be honest, based on Ultraman, at least the more recent ones, they're making better monsters than the SHMA team too (though they've made some great things too)).
>>10991934>Are there any examples of a smaller humanoid monster in SHMA?Predator Wolf and the Xenomorph
>>10991276Crazy that there's two different ones. Though they look the same minus (ha) the tail.
My gigantic Hedorah finally arrived. Anyone else order this during the brief window?
Why the fuck is it BioGoji and not Rebirth Goji
>>10992895Its beautiful
Will absolutely grab this guy when hegoes up online.>>10992966Because rebirth got like a half dozen reissues/repaints back in the day. This is the first repaint of BioGoji
>>10992993Well yeah but I don't have Rebirth :)
>>10992993I want to see more photos before I decide to go for it or not.
>>10991567Just looked at a pic of Flame Wingman and it'll definitely be him. The dragon head, the tail, the giant wing, it makes a ton of sense.
I hope Hasbro or something does something with the Kaiju Rangers and Kaiju Zords. Then again, we didn't get figures of the Mutant Power Rangers, or the Mutant Arkham Inmates from the Batman TMNT crossover.
>>10993257>The Kaiju Zords>the Kaiju Rangers>The Psycho Kaiju RangersJoining the ranks of never ever like the Mutant Rangers from the TMNT Power Ranger crossover, or Batman's mutated villains from the Batman TMNT crossover. Or Green Lantern Kong.Or any of the Trilopod hybrids, the Trilopods, Magita, or Zoospora.
>>10992993please come with a breath effect!
>>10993365lol lmao
>>10993370DO IT YOU FUCKS THE LAST BLUE BREATH EFFECT FOR A HEISEI ERA GODZILLA WAS IN 2011 WITH THE FIRST MONSTERARTS GODZILLA!!
>>10992966Why is Goku so pinheaded? Gohan's head looks fucking massive next to it. Look at the size of their features!
>>10992993>>10992966Engineering/Articulation wise, is BioGoji better than Rebirth Goji? Maybe they're releasing a BioGoji to fuck with Hiya lmao
>>10992966Dang I kinda want that Goku set but I'm not in America
>>10993450Tail actuation is better everything else is similar. Except the mouth, bio has a horrible ball joint in the jaw instead of the simple hinge joint rebirth has. I pray they fix it in this sdcc release.
>>10993499Man I hated the jaw on my BioGoji, it kept falling off over the slightest tough, one of the hands too,.I haven't had the same issues with the Shinjuku Goji luckily.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>10994342
HEHAS NO STYLEHEHASNOGRACE
>>10994346>>10994347is the whip gonna be a bendy wire or is that motherfucker have more ball joints than the actual Skar King figure?
>The Kong Beast Glove really is a fucking Skar King AccessoryFuck you Bandai
>>10994350Bendy and The BEAST Glove is a bonus that comes with Skar.
GIANT WOMAN ALERT! I REPEAT THIS IS A GIANT WOMAN ALERT
>>10994346>>10994347>>10994353Tusks are too small.
>>10994347Neat, I'll pick him up, I liked the evil monke, is he retail or Pbandai? >>10994353Never intended to get the beast glove kong but I guess I am now.
>>10994358Oh my sweet sexy ice mama. I wanna dig in her cloaca.
>>10994374>Neat, I'll pick him up, I liked the evil monke, is he retail or Pbandai?Webstore exclusive, so If you aren't American or Japanese prepare to get screwed.I'm honestly surprised that it's coming out in September that's so much sooner than either the Hiya or SHMA Godzilla.
>>10994381>Webstore exclusive, so If you aren't American or Japanese prepare to get screwed.Bunch of local online retailers in my country stock those so it won't be that bad, just have to deal with the later release date.
>>10994353>he wanted to buy yet another $80 Kong repaint just for the glove
>>10994381But they'll get a us release
>>10994358Legit, she can sit on me.
>>10994346>>10994347>>10994353Way, way, better likeness than kong. I really wish they would have included him in this wave of really stepped up new molds instead of half assing him and giving someone else his arm, maybe next movie i guess.
>>10994358Sexy silhouette
>>10994457no i wanted this>>10994559 This was the perfect opportunity to finally get a movie-accurate Kong since Hiya has failed with both of their attempts and Bandai didn't even try with their first attempt.
>>10994346Told you I was not kidding. I said this in a previous thread.
>>10994656Bandai never tries. They are like the kings of coasting on the bare minimum.
>>10994353His face looks weird. I did like him as a character, but I don't know if he's worth getting a SHMA for.
>>10994358Shimo will come with a Kong alt head that has the metal tooth
>>10994347>Evil >Bald>Toothpick arms>Likes bigger women>BaldWould he have browsed /toy/?
>>10994347Is that bendy wire or a series of swivels?
>>10994736No shit. It is all but confirmed now that the glove is confirmed as a Skar accesssory.
>>10994749The day monsterarts does bendy wire is the day I shove Ultima's tail in my asshole
>>10994381>I'm honestly surprised that it's coming out in SeptemberDecember.>>10994754Get the lube, it is.
>>10993262>Or any of the Trilopod hybrids, the Trilopods, Magita, or Zoospora.Or Singura.
>>10994347the whip is disappointing
>>10992966>>10992993Lucky I didn't get BioGoji then. Is there a price up?
>>10994811The whole thing is disappointing. Something about the sculpt and paint both look really soft and low-detail somehow. It's just not worth the asking price IMO, especially when many third parties have surpassed them quality-wise.
>>10994825oh I'm not buying itI was hoping something better though
>>10994825What third parties make good kaiju toys? Honestly Skar King looks fine, his heads could definitely have used more detail and the whip SHOULD be a classic SHMA style double ball joint fest but his articulation looks very well engineered.
>>10994825Does anyone have the playmates Skar? Not that I expect it to be good, but I don't know if SHMA is worth it for a character I passingly happen to like.
>>10994887Wait for a Hiya one?
Yongary update for those interested:It's currently sitting at 445 units ordered, so it's 55 away from unlocking the jets.They also said if Yongary reaches 800 orders by the end of May manufacturing will speed up by about a month or so.
>>10993376How many different breath effects by mold have there been?
>>10994353I wish he had a cocky face.
>>10994736That would be nice, the bit where he mocks skar would be the best expression.
>>10994346>>10994347>>10994353terrible how they didnt bother to use the smirking cocky japanese delinquent pose scar king did like at least 3 times in the movie.
oof likeness
This is kinda neat
>>10995232 the figure looking bright and clean throws it off
>>10995232Wow the face looks different at a different angle and under bright studio lighting. I swear to god Hiya fanboys are falling over themselves trying to manufacture problems with this figure when the only issue is this>>10995208
I’m very glad I stopped buying and stopped caring about 2014 universe crap. It took transformers place of summer blockbuster slop.
>>10995337Cool that it lives rent free in your head
Decided to pick up these two after it was confirmed the B.E.A.S.T Glove came with Scar King. I must say, pictures do not capture just how beautiful the blue on Godzilla is.
>>10995481What's that centaur lancer figure on the left?Got '19 acting up and shit
>>10995641A model kit. Kotobukiya Arcanadea Elena. It's an alright model, with the typical model feel when built (light and hollow)I would prefer a figure, but beggars can't be choosers.
>>10994912I fell for Hiya once. Never again.
>>10994912Ah yes Hiya because their previous Ape figures inspire so mich confidence
>>10995232Hey steven
>>10995232Not bad. Could be toofier but you don't want Timmy poking his eye on them tusks.
>>10995908Fuck you Sean.
>>10994353
>>10995051SDCC exclusive recolor version. >>10995481Yeah I better pick kong up now before he disappears.
>>10995239Is that a Bandai Trendmasters SpaceGodzilla??
>>10995370Kind of hard to ignore when every thread is flooded with monsterverse. But it is fun to watch everyone get excited and then disappointed at how terrible the figures always are.
>>10995012I'm making my own buildings.
>>10995481Mine came in today after the price drops. This is my first Monsterverse SHMA since KOTM Godzilla and was pleasently surprised. Sturdy as hell, very posable and the paint apps are almost perfect, save for some of the white lines in the spines. Might go grab Ultima next. Anyone have him?
>>10990176What is it that you love about hedora?I bought the blu ray a few days ago and am still waiting to get it.
>>10995239what's this spacegodzilla? some retro color movie monster series godzilla store exclusive or something?
>>10995232You've posted this image at least five times today Steven. Have you considered not spamming this image on twitter, facebook, and 4chan because it makes you look like a fool for getting this assmad?
>>10995333The growling face looks like shit, resting one is decent though.
Well fuck me, that looks good
>>10996341
>>10996341Does it? Also, I got fucked with the last Ghidorah, no way I'm touching this one.
>>10996343
>>10996347
>>10996346>Does it?yes, the detailing on the head sculpts looks on par if not better than the SHMA Ghidorah's heads> I got fucked with the last Ghidorah, no way I'm touching this one.Why did you buy a figure that had bad colors, no accessories, clearly limited neck articulation with the pre-posed S curve necks, and a visible underbite in the promo pictures? I'm not saying the figure isn't bad, but just like the Hiya Kong it was clear from the start it was going to have a lot of problems. This figure has better articulation, better paint, and detailing that seems to be just as good without having to rely on CGI files.
>>10996341Why does it look weird?
>>10996341Rad, might get this or continue holding out for a Showa SHMA Ghidorah
>>10995908>>10996291Yoooo! We schizoposting now?
>>10996341I'm gonna coooom
>>10996341I'd buy that for a dollar
>>10996341>>10996343>>10996347>>10996350Any visual/articulation failings compared to the SHMA? I don't own it (but I do have Mecha King G on the way)
>>10996341I'm kind of annoyed by them doing Heisei over Showa, but that look REALLY good.
>>10996493>I'm kind of annoyed by them doing Heisei over ShowaAgain, Bandai cockblocked from doing Showa.
>>10996524*cockblocked them
Monsterarts is in danger. Hiya is able to undercut them at every turn. Will this be what they need to be forced to improve?
>>10996341Should I get this one or the beam version king of the monsters
>>10996585Yes.
Heard from a friend that Hiya Toys teased a Millennium Godzilla figure line, is that true?
>>10996700Your friend lied
>>10996341Why are the tails twice the length of the figure itself and the heads so short? That's not what Heisei Ghidorah looks like.
>>10996341looks like an x plus with articulation. whys it 20 bucks less than mv ghidorah? this is the superior figure
Guys I love Godzilla so fucking much
>>10996601Anyone?
>>10996341its looking pretty goodI need to see how the 91 godzilla turns out before I can commit to ordering it though, I really dont trust previews anymore
>>10996918Get both. I got rhe gold monsterarts, i ordered the gold hiya and im ordering this one. I missed mecha but i would have ordered him too. I hope hiya does mecha. If you only want one then choose your favorite look. This and MV ghidorah look like 2 different beasts
>>10996601Not sure why you have to choose one or the other. The Gold MV Ghidorah comes out in september and the Heisei in June of next year.If it's a shelf space thing then just get the one you like more.
>>10995481>managed to get both of Kong's gripping hands around the axeHats off to you, I settled for one gripping and one open-handed for that pose
>>10991567I wonder why some announcements are teased, and others are just dropped. Is this one going to be a particularly interesting drop? Is it going to just be dropped on their social media one day or at the next show?
>>10996953Didn't realize it was so far away. Ordered them both
>>10996907me too :)
>>10996907I wish he'd put me in his butt
>>10996341Damn. Its even got better neck articulation than 16 Ghidorah>throws decade old MA ghidorah into the trash
>>10996918Idk man do you want monsterverse ghidorah or heisei ghidorah?
>>10997089I want them all
>>10996341Looks great, though I think it resembles the PS4 game model moreso than the film. My problem is that Hiya will inevitably put out the Gravity Beam/Updated/Hotfix version after the first wave inevitably has some issue. Hope the one they put out 6 months later keeps the nice color.
>>10996601Kotm one is terrible.
Hiya shills out in full force, huh?
>>10997112Deeply sorry the excitement for a new figure doesn't meet your arbitrary faggot contrarian standard.
>>10997112New item pics drop.>That looks pretty good.You>SHILLS
>>10997109Why
>>10994342CYOM'ON!!!!!!!!
>>10995916Those aren't tusks, they are teeth.
crazy how the HIYA is $100, when the SHMA was $120 in 2012, or about $163 bc of inflation
>>10997157100% think its bc of Yuji Sakai. Bandai taps him for the figs to give them credibility since an actual series vet is sculpting them, which lets them jack up the price. Afaik he only directly worked on 3 films, so having him sculpt other Kaiju is the same as getting anyone else, but that cred lets Bandai charge more for no good reason. Sakai's good, but clearly you can get along fine without someone like him.
>>10997112t. SHMonstercuck
>>10997120Not him, but I have one and it does give me trouble. The wings are a mess no matter what you do to them, each section has to be clicked together, and when you unclick them, each section is on little fragile balls that have to twist and turn just right in order to look halfway decent. Just moving them scratches off the paint, and on mine it seems to actually sand off the material to some degree. I was afraid of wearing it down more, so I'm content to let the wings stay as they are. Then the articulation is minimal, only a few of the joints in the necks and tails have any range at all. It looks fine, I think I prefer the basic colour over the special edition personally even though I do intend to give it some paint at some point, but it's a very finicky figure.
>>10997392That somehow sounds even more finicky than my SHMA. Though with the trade off of not being as posable I guess. Still has nice shelf presence. Also nice KG collection, which are your favorites? My only other one is a MKG vinyl.
>>10996341Unexpected, but cool. Hopefully some other monsters are on the way.
>>10996037Might as well, he is a decent toy.>>10996137Nice Anon, glad you enjoy it.>>10996981If I may suggest. The bicep swivels are on balljoints. I just moved mine all the way inward. Something else that helped me was putting both hands on the axe separately from the figure, then move the arms accordingly and peg them on when aligned.
>>10997527I'm rather fond of Trendmasters, obviously, if not only because I'm old and these were some of the first Godzilla figures I was able to acquire. As for which is the most fun, I'd have to say one of my current favourites the Jakks Ghidorah. Rather basic as they go, gave it some slight highlights as it was a solid colour originally, wing movement is simple, and the rotating heads can find a few interesting poses. I'm getting used to the new gigantic lad, and I suppose I'll bond with him as I give him gold highlights of his own. I don't have any Monsterarts versions yet, as I'm holding out that they sometime include Showa Ghidorah or especially the Void Ghidorah, though I doubt that last one.
>>10997756Confound it, I've uploaded the wrong picture. Let's try this one.
>>10997756I have the Jakks one too, it's really fun and makes you wonder why Bandai hasn't been putting the joint at the lower neck like that too. I think we'd get even a Ride SHMA before Void honestly. Here's hoping Hiya Ghido is good though,
>>10996700I fucking wish, I want a millenium godzilla so bad but I refuse to pay for the monsterarts
>>10996289He's that color scheme basically everywhere aside from on screen in his movie. Even the Super7 is that color. If only they remade that fuckin mold
>>10997832I bought g2m shma when it came out. the mouth would come off easily and he couldnt look up at all. i think it was the first monsterarts that felt different, plastic wise. it weighed less than the original heisei godzilla that came with the beam. the eyes on g2k were really nice though. don't buy it, is my advice, wait for an eventual suit accurate version.
>>10997865Damn, plenty more reason to not even consider it, what a shame. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a renewal or a release from some other company (ie hiya)
Trying to decide between the SOFVICS Ichiban/Ichibansho vs the Spiral Studios Godzilla evolved statues.I like the sculpt and pose on the former better, I think, but it's clearly not as high quality and the size is smaller vs the Spiral, being 22 vs 27cm.The thing that gives me pause is the Spiral Studios would nearly be in scale (around the size of MV Goji in 2014, not in the sequels/GxK) with the Sakai X-plus Shin Godzilla statue, Albatross Orga statue (both of which I have) and the Godzilla 2000s SHMA (which I want); wheras the Ichibansho statue would clearly be too small... ...but it might actually be in scale somewhat with the Hiya Ghidorah Gravity Beam figure, which makes more sense to pair with MV goji anyways? Godzilla would still obviously be too big, but it may not be too crazy?----------Anyways, autistic rambling aside: Is anybody here familar with the SOFVICs Ichiban statues and Spiral Studios ones and can comment on how closely the press photos match the sculpt and paint job of the final statues? I know with figuarts and Monsterarts, the press images often look significantly better then the final product>>10997865sadly, I like the Sakai sculpt the SHMA miregoji uses more then suit design. Gonna have to pay a scalper for one some day
>>10997920I have the SOFVICS shin and gxk godzillas. The Shin is huge and one of the best figures in my collection, especially for the price. GxK is well sculpted and good QC, but he's a bit smaller and his paint is a little off from the films. Almost entirely sand color. That said, I'm getting their Minus One Heat Ray ver. I'd take a photo of em with some other stuff for ya but they're packed. The only time they've missed is their Burning Godzilla, so odds are you'll be perfectly happy with their Evolved. I hated that fucking movie so I'm not touching that.>>10997905Don't listen to that anon, get the original purple SHMA it's awesome. Then just get a couple MMS' you can cut the head off one and there's your suit accurate ver.
>>10997975I ain't paying 180 bucks to mod the thing myself, fuck that, I can keep waiting
>>10997975How do the SOFVICS shin and Godzillas compare to the promo/press photos of them? Are they pretty much 1:1 or is there a gap in quality from the press images to the final statues comparable to like SHMA?
>>10997527>>10997392>>10997120>>10997109>>10996346any chance the gravity beam version will have less iessues?
G-Store announced Retro Spacegodzilla based on the original 8 inch release back in 1994. Think this is the first Heisei series of Godzilla monsters to be given a Retro color release too I think.
>>10998090Oops didn't see>>10995239. Anyway yeah figure mention anyway on what the color was based on.
>>10998081I know the meme is that Hiya gets better with each reissue/repaint, but I genuinly dont know how they can fix a lot of the issues with Ghidorah without radically changing things about the sculpt and articulation. The bad articulation in the necks cant be fixed without increasing the segments and scrapping the pre-posed s-curve. I dont even know how you would begin to fix the articulated wings. The only issue that should be an easy fix is the underbite.
>>10998090They need to retool that head so there isn't a shelf around his neck.
>>10991567>>10991573Well now
>>10998455I'm curious about that release date... how can it be around 5 months away, yet have no price and no current orders. Unless they have everything ready to go right this instant and just need to start manufacturing, I don't know how they could fulfill orders that quickly. And with how strict Bandai is with adherence to schedule (at the detriment of some of their products), that's a bit worrisome. Excited though, hopefully those little legs can support all that top heaviness.
Meh.
Got these fags in today
>>10998857Anguirus isn't enjoying Godzilla's smelly feet.
>>10998863Nah he looks Xtra pissed
>>10998857also Ghidorah has NO points of articulation
>>10998863Or enjoying it so much his face is flushed.
>>10998857That goji looks like one I had as a child. Which one is it?
>>109988851964
>>10998455Aww yeah that's the dude I wanted.Shit maybe I should pick up the Judai revo now.
>>10998515>I'm curious about that release date... how can it be around 5 months away, yet have no price and no current orders.You follow Bandai's schedule lmfao, 5 months is the higher end of usual wait time. They have price and everything, not public yet.>>10998758>Subscriber specialha can't get the clout the chinks already posted about, deal with it.
>>10999157>They have price and everything, not public yet.Of course they do, but my point is that preorders aren't yet open, and they have a teaser without the price listed. But I'd have to think it'll be up for preorder along with whatever else at the start of June. I guess 5-6 months is the usual turnaround time from preorder to shipment, but I guess this just feels quicker because there was no info on it until earlier this week with the teaser. I guess it was like that for the Kenshin figures too. Maybe I'm just not really paying attention...
>>10998455>>10998758Oh good, humanoid dogshit
>SpaceGodzilla shipping next monthI need to buy a bigger desk.
>>10998455>>10998758I tapped out of yugioh before this guy was a thing i think, is he cool?
>>10999242
>>10999242>is he cool?I guess that's up to what you think. Here's his card. He was the protagonist of GX's ace monster (like Dark Magician is for Yugi) for a while, until Elemental Hero Neos showed up.
>>10999257>>10999256Looks like a lame chimera. Like a half-assed Beast Wars megatron with a random wing.
>>10998005They're a bit better than SHMA in that regard. I think you'll be happy with what you get, especially for the price.
>>10999256>>10999257Such a cool design, glad they went with him, I hope they do another GX monster top, Cyber Dragon would be a obvious choice since, like Blue Eyes, some people will buy three of those.
>>10999495Is Cyber Dragon not just a noodle? I'll pretend they're working with Kaiyodo in secret, in which case the next logical choice would be Stardust Dragon. No Yugi monsters is a bit surprising for sure though. Gaia and Curse of Dragon would be a cool pair, or Summoned Skull, if they're not doing straight humanoids.
>>10999579Not against the idea of it getting made, but it's a bit of a simple design for an SHMA probably, no? There's a model kit of Cyber End coming but it's just a static kit as far as I can tell.
>>10999625>There's a model kit of Cyber End comingNvm it was actually Chimeratech Overdagon. Not even sure if it's a kit anymore, kind of hard to find info.
>>10999570Sure, but they did that one Monster Hunter dragon whuch is a noodle (albeit with tiny legs), plus it could be cool.That said I don't expect them to actually do it.
>>10999178>Maybe I'm just not really paying attention..Yep.
>>10999920Can't blame him desu
