Idk what's the problem with him and people like him. They cling to this whole "you kids these days don't know real godzilla. I grew up in its time, I have more authority on this", when that's just stupid and a bit pathetic.

Younger fans like Showa a lot. ffs I and many godzilla fans I know, who were born in the 90s absolutely love Showa godzilla and 84 has always been held in high regard because we shared links and rips with eachother.

HOL up this ain't real, too good to be true

According to a script leaker, Kaiju A is a trilobite throwaway monster for Goji to fight, and Kaiju B is a parasite from nuclear fallout. Godzilla is decaying, not regenerating. The parasite is supposed to be a symbol of how Godzilla is a shell of what he used to be, a symbol of hope and a hero instead of a demon representing death. The parasite grows throughout the movie, because it feeds off of his regeneration abilities.

Question is, what is the actual price of this figure? amazon says 245 dollars which i don't think is correct
Thanks familia

What would you guys recommend for getting into Kaiju figures? I'm a big fan of classic kaiju flicks. Also, is there a damn mechagodzilla?
>>
>>5683325
But how much does it cost originally?

Found one for 150 dollars where i live [spoiler] Brazil ;-; [/spoiler] where shit costs at a minimum double their original price, so i don't know if its a good deal
>>
>>5683330
Shit i fucked up the spoiler tags, oh well the damage is done don't mind it boys
>>
>>5683330

My bad, thought you were talking about the fig in OP. $150 (usd) for Kiryu? Seems pretty good compared to all the prices I'm seeing for it online.

I don't buy aftermarket figures once they reach scalper prices myself, but that doesn't sound bad. All of the past releases retail prices can be seen here:

http://shma-articulationseries.com/past-releases.html
>>
>>5683347
Oh shit, thanks a ton mate. Do you think i should go for it then? any recently-released figures that you'd reccomend instead?
>>
>>5683312
Well that's the price now. When he was released I think he went for somewhere between 70-90 dollars. He's out of production and SHMA tend to shoot up in price, hence the 245 dollar price tag.

You might be able to find him slightly cheaper on mandarake. You might also be able to get a good deal if you scour ebay long enough, but don't get your hopes up.
>>
>>5683356

Depends who you want I guess. All of the recent figs that you can still find for retail-ish prices are:

Birth Zilla
Emergence 1964 (dusty version)
Special Color 2000
Probably one of the two 2014 Godzilla versions as well.

I also recommend the Neca 1954 Godzilla since it's a great figure and pretty damn cheap compared to Monster arts. Their Pacific Rim Kaiju are nice too.

But assuming that is a legit Kiryu it's a pretty good opportunity.
>>
>>5683356
If you're talking purely about kaiju figures, I think Kiryu might be my favorite in the SHMA line. He's a lot of fun to fool around with and looks fucking great on display.

It all depends on how much you like him. I mean you could grab a couple of cheaper figures instead, but if you want Kiryu enough to pay 150 usd for him I'd say that it would be a good purchase.
>>
>>5683382

I should also mention that Birth-Zillas are now re-issues and don't come with the blue paint-wash you see on the first release. I was kinda disappointed when I got mine last year, but apparently the joints are less prone to popping off.
>>
>>5683391

Could you guys recommend me some buildings suitable for kaiju dioramas? I'm putting together a Hordes minions army who use giant crocodiles and pig men.

Actually, on the whole? Kanegon and Garamon where the most popular, but when Garamon was made into Pigmon, he skyrocketed past Kanegon.

Kanegon was like, prototype Booska. Hell, even played by the same suit actor.
Other popular ones where Lilly the Demon Child, Ragon, M-1, the Kemur Being, Peguila and Litra. Gomess was like, top ten tier.

8 inches tall and about $40 too expensive.

This is going to be a harder sale for a lot of US SHMA collectors, I think. Our local store sells a ton of SHMA stuff, and the crowd that flocks to them is often younger. Another godzilla for that much more than the others isn't going to fly.

That is a fucking book. Go look at >>5682584 again. The cover is of the new SHMA Godzilla and the description mentions it, and its light-up feature, well before the toy's reveal. Listing either went up early or Bandai fucked up on the timing, so that's how we found out about the figure first, is all.

Also, it costs 4000 yen and has an ISBN number, come on.

>>5690064

I'm confused, this new figure doesn't seem to be boasting about sculpt or paint detail. Isn't it all about the electronic gimmicks? What does this have to do with X-plus?
>>
>>5690290
Twentysomethings to Thirtysomethings grew up with that as their childhood Godzilla. So it has that going for it.

Tho I'm in that age range, I wasn't even aware there WERE Godzilla movies past 1985 until I was in my teens and didn't get to watch them until I think my early 20s, so I grew up on shitty VHS recordings of TV airings of Showa Godzilla.
>>
>>5690313
Same, I experienced the heisei movies pretty late, i guess because those films didn't have the most exposure overseas when they were new. But almost all promotional material with Godzilla seems to reflect suits from that era. Even this Eva vs Godzilla stuff, despite shin goji being revealed.
>>
>>5690290
basically what he>>5690313 said

the current buying market grew up with him as their godzilla,so they pander to that demographic
>>
okay so let me get this straight

FIRST we get the ugliest Godzilla repaint ever for way more than it's worth, when it would have made more sense to give the EVA colors to the SHMA Kiryu sculpt

NOW we get YET ANOTHER Heisei Godzilla with unnecessary features that add $100 to the price.

What is happening? Why are they doing this? Do they want to fail? Just show us Shin Godzilla or something, jesus does someone want to get fired?
>>
>>5690064
>Light up feature
Does anyone ever use light up features to display toys? Like, wouldn't that be wasting the battery/bulb when you're not there, or do people turn it on/off when they enter/leave the room?

Like... with me, I'll take it out of the box, check it out and then never use it again. I doubt I'm the only one.
>>
>>5690479
Considering the abomination that is Eva-01 Goji, it's almost 10k and exclusive. Bandai will still pull a profit, so it doesn't matter.

You complain about Heisei shit, but it's what sells. That's like complaining to Bandai about making another SHFSS fucking Kuuga.
>>
>>5690491
apparently bandai has worked some way in with the led features to do wireless charging for batteries via that wireless stage act thing they talked about, so that's why they are pushing the led stuff now.
>>
>>5690479
>FIRST we get the ugliest Godzilla repaint ever for way more than it's worth

>NOW we get YET ANOTHER Heisei Godzilla with unnecessary features that add $100 to the price.
heisei shit unfortunatly sells most
>What is happening? Why are they doing this? Do they want to fail? Just show us Shin Godzilla or something, jesus does someone want to get fired?
they pander to the heisei crowd and godzilla is always a guarenteed sale. i agree its idiotic, i mean i know titanosaurs or orga are risks, but no excuse to not make classics like mechagodzilla 1 or anguirus

It's entitlement when they're crying about how Bandai is making shit they personally don't want, as if they're the sole consumer for these products.

I don't like the figure as well, but I'm not gonna cry about it. I'm simply not going to buy it and spend my money elsewhere.
>>
>>5691416
When theyre making figures where the general consensus from the fans is "what the hell?" then theyre fucking up.

That was everyones reaction to EVA Godzilla and from what I can tell is the general consensus for bio goji is "That cool but why is it that price?" or "Why another heisei"
There's really not many people who are pleased, atleast going off by here and other sites.

Like, I personally don't really care about Orga, I'm more of a showa fan, but if Bandai made Orga I wouldn't be mad. That's cool to see other people getting what they wanted, and some more variety in a line that's mostly the same character.
But when a minority of people are happy, then it's like Bandai what the hell are you doing

>>5691455
>where the general consensus from the fans
Except /toy/, or even TK and such, aren't the "general consensus". Japan very much plays a part of this as well.
If Bandai wants to focus on a more niche consumer market (as if the near-20k pricetag wasn't obvious) than the typical SHMA consumer, then let them do so.

As for EVA, it's definitely a cashgrab marketed towards EVAfags who'd buy pretty much fucking anything. It's not necessarily targeted for us, either.
I wish we could get other SHMAs first, but I'm not going to whine that Bandai decides to focus on another consumer demographic for two releases.
>>
>>5691485
>Except /toy/, or even TK and such, aren't the "general consensus". Japan very much plays a part of this as well
I realize that, but I visit more places than just those two

>As for EVA, it's definitely a cashgrab marketed towards EVAfags who'd buy pretty much fucking anything. It's not necessarily targeted for us,
Do EVAfags think it looks good? If godzillafags dont think it looks good why would they think any different? It woulda made more sense to use the SHMA Kiryu, like that Kiryu Vinyl. It's a horrible choice aesthetically to put a straight up robot paint job onto an organic character.
>>
>>5691500
>Do EVAfags think it looks good?
Considering the aftermarkets on this ugly thing, sure.
Maybe not even "good", maybe some people just want it for the sake of owning yet another Evangelion merch.

Regardless, it almost costs 10k and exclusive. Bandai will still make a profit off the hideous repaint, and that's all that matters to them.
>>
>>5691522
So people aren't allowed to be disappointed because Bandai gets to make a profit?
>>
>>5691522
I get why they choose to do Eva exclusives the way they do, the Eva-01 has an iconic color scheme and all. That said, it makes me long for a proper crossover. get some eva artists to redesign Optimus Prime or Godzilla in the style of their Universe. Or get Takara Tomy to do transforming Evas, or maybe do something where Jet Alone was rebuilt with cybertronian tech. Ot have Toho's crew make up a practical effect style Eva and have a figure of that.

Of course, all that is more expensive than just slapping new paint on an existing figure, but it'd be nice eventually.
>>
>>5691592
>So people aren't allowed to be disappointed
Disappointed =/= bitching about how Bandai's such a terrible company for making something they don't like and catering to people that aren't them, etc.
>because Bandai gets to make a profit?
No, not "because". It has nothing to do with that.
More like it doesn't matter if they used Kiryu or not, or the actual existence of the release itself, because it'll still nail them a profit. This is not the first time a company churned out a needless Eva-01 homage for the sake of pandering to Evafags.
>>5691613
I'd love to see that, personally. Likewise with Ultraman and Evangelion.
Anno loves that shit, it's just the matter of whether Gainax as a company itself and Toho and/or Tsuburaya agree to it.
>>
>>5691640
>bitching about how Bandai's such a terrible company for making something they don't like and catering to people that aren't them
People are saying it looks awful, and it's dumb. That is called expressing disappointment. So people CAN be disappointed but can't express disappointment is what it sounds like youre getting at.

>More like it doesn't matter if they used Kiryu or not
Yes it does. Kiryu makes more sense to use than Godzilla, more people would be on board with it, since it'd be a less terrible looking variant, more money for Bandai.
That repaint of the vinyl of Kiryu didn't get the flak that this SHMA EVA Godzilla did, because it actually works better for Kiryu.
>>
>>5691731
>People are saying it looks awful, and it's dumb. That is called expressing disappointment.
Except I'm not referring to criticisms of the figure.

I'm clearly referring to those who complain about Bandai as a company for making shit they don't like and not catering to their wants.

I never use electronic features on toys, ever. I think the only toy of mine that actually has batteries is my Beast Wars Optimal Optimus from when I was a kid. The only electronics feature on a toy I thought was well done lately was my Hot Toys robocop, which actually has a remote control to activate it, which is very nice. Still I don't actually use it.

Still, I think I may go for this just because it'd be nice to have a Godzilla that looks nice in a regular size case(most of my Monster arts are in a small cabinet because they look awkward in a detolf) That said, it doesn't seem as dynamically posed as the X-plus stuff, and while its articulated the ranges seems limited, and its not a very exciting default pose, all things considered.
