Any of you fine gentlemen have one of these? I was considering buying one over the weekend.

?
>>5708021
>there's a unit 02 version too
Fuuuuuuck
>>5708002
Yes! All the Revoltech Toho monsters are great, but Baragon is particularly fun. He's very expressive, and he has a derpy/cute thing going on. Just makes him fun to pose and play with.
>>5708021
>¥30,000
They finally found my point where I'm like "nah, fuck that".
As much as I wanted to collect all the things from this collab, that's a vinyl for more than a Hot Toys we're talking about.
>>5708021
Every time I enter these threads, I just end up more and more and more depressed at the state of things.
>>5708100
rerelease when/?
>>5708174
Unfortunately never. Even if the Sci-Fi Revoltech line wasn't dead, Bandai has pretty much crushed any other company's ability to do Toho monsters.
If you find any of them for a reasonable price you should definitely buy. They're great figs.
>>5708021
Are those X-Plus? Holy shit.
>>5708025
These are much different from the vinyl toys people were talking about before.
>>5708221
Not really. These are statueshit, not toys.
>>5708100
Wish Baragon got more love.
Zilla did nothing wrong
>>5708384
Zilla was just in two bad movies. Jr got it good.
Monsterarts GMK at the end of the month finally a new sculpt after the age of repaints.
>>5708021
They look awesome
>>5708025
>>5708100
Good to know. Managed to snag one for $42 off Amazon. Still waiting on pic related to arrive though.
Anyone know if the Shin Gojira SHMA was revealed yet?
>>5710221
Wemail will probably see it at SDCC or Won Fest.
>>5708280
And these are statueshit.
Yaaa gomen gomen
>>5710543
>>5710546
>>5710548
>>5710551
>>5707814
>those tiny arms
I had a good giggle.
Wait the SHMA Bio Goji is from a line thats really a spin off of the SHMA line thats not in scale with SHMA?? I guess none of them are technically "in scale", but the ones that share a movie with eachother are... But he's not gonna be in scale with biollante.
Why?
Why?
Bandai... what the hell are you thinking lately?
>>5712216
I guess Hedorah isn't sorry for what he's done
>>5712358
He's in scale as far as we know. The new line is figures with LEDs and sound effects. This one plays the Godzilla theme and does the roar in addition to a couple other sound effects. The sound of Godzilla's footsteps was one of the others.
>>5712439
>He's in scale as far as we know.
New figure is like eight inches tall, so certainly bigger than all the previous Godzilla MonsterArts.
>>5712448
Huh, that is really stupid then. Monsterarts will be fucked when this bombs.
>>5712501
>heisei shit
>bombing
japan loves this stuff
get ready for the entire heisei line to be done again in this new subline
>>5710463
Are X-Plus considered statueshit?
The boxes say "garage toy" on the cover, and i've always heard people call them vinyls because they're...Made out of vinyl.
>>5710543
Why are they apologizing even? At first I thought they were just greeting the public as it's a conference but I just noticed the kanji for apology.
>>5714048
>Why are they apologizing even?
they all fugged the secretary, who happens to be mothra, and are apologizing to the nation for it.
>>5712511
Doubt it, considering the pricetag.
>>5712439
>The new line is figures with LEDs and sound effects.
Man, fuck this. Fuck this to hell and back.
>>5712501
Nah, it's a first shot at a technically new line. We have SHMA and SHMA KKK. If KKK bombs, we still have SHMA.
>>5714344
>SHMA KKK

>>5714707
You didn't know Godzilla was part of the Kaiju Klux Klan? It's common knowledge buddy.

No worthwhile reveals since G1954?
http://www.kaijuaddicts.com/x-plus-teams-with-magazine-publisher-to-offer-exclusive-large-monster-series-shin-godzilla-2016-figures/
That looks godlike
Do you guys leave tags on your vinyls or remove them?
All of mine still have their tags attached.
WARNING: NOT STARTING A COMPANY WAR, JUST A GENUINE OBSERVATION/QUESTION
Is it me or is the NECA 1954 Godzilla more accurate in proportion than the 1954 SHMA?
When I first saw the 54 SHMA I was like "Damn, the NECA one has such a big head" but then I'm looking at pictures of the actual suit and it did have a big head, and the SHMA's looks a tad too small. The NECA one's pretty close. I would prefer it if his eye was looking outwards rather than forwards like the movie though. And more depth in the scales like the SHMA. Glad to see they didnt give it a gloss finish though.
Besides the SHMA's head being a tad small his legs look a little skinny too. right?
Still gonna pick him up though, looks like an amazing figure regardless.
>>5717543
People have already talked about this before.
If you're gonna pick him up still, it doesn't matter.
>>5717543
It kills me how both NECA and SHMA lines are so close in making perfecet figures. If only we could combine traits of the 2.
Like, for the NECA and SHMA 1954s. Imagine the proportions and sturdyness of the NECA, combined with the sculpt detail paint and articulation of the SHMA.
That would be the best 1954 figure, maybe the best Godzilla figure of all time.
>>5708021
Yoooo I'm fucking ready. Going to look sick with these three guys in the back here. Check it out how the Unit 02 at the bottom is the SOS version.
>>5717353
They lose a little value if the tag is detached. I don't care though, all of my tags are removed. I'm comfortable enough that I'm never going to sell any of my shit. I've detached the tags since I played with them when I was younger.
>>5714048
Yeah... why would a giant monster who destroys cities apologize to the public
HMMMMM
>>5716572
none
>>5716909
Stop linking to statueshit. Hell, that's a model.
I could use a good King Kong. What's a good alternative to the Monsterarts one?
>>5722040
There isn't.
>>5707815
This seems like such a waste.

How big is the fucker going to be even? By lookig at that promo pic seems like it's made of translucent plastic like Spit Fire.
>Bluish-white LEDs faithfully recreate the light effects from the films.
Can anyone post an actual shot of the film? I was watching it the other day but don't remember any moment were the spines light up, only the mouth.
>>5722603
Thanks, I didn't notice it on the background.
Seems like it's just a bit taller than the others, I'm not sure if I'll get it, perhaps not as $130 is just too much.
>>5722571
>>5722660
Tip of the tail looks like a used cigarette.
>>5722660
The paintjob looks so fucking disgusting, bones aren't painted, the mouth is a mess, everything has that shitty glossy finish.

How do they rationalize this burnt turd being over a hundred bucks.
>>5722844
The same way they've been doing it for years, I'd imagine.
>>5722660
Is that monsterarts?
[spoiler]NECA will do better[/spoiler]
>>5722660
>neca one will be 100$ less
How does that make you feel?
>>5722862
Unless the Monsterarts comes with accessories up the yin yang, it'll be NECA or wait for this punk to go on a drastic discount.
>>5722869
Like I'm getting way better value.
>>5722660
It looks really fucking fat.
I thought he was emaciated in this film?
>>5722660
I can't defend this line anymore. RIP
Lads I'm conflicted, I really want to collect all the monsterarts Gojis but their prices are getting outrageous. But my 'tism flares at the thought of settling for neca and having a mixed collection like with GMK Godzilla and '54 being made by both. I prefer to not break the bank buying these, but I want a uniform collection.
what do?
>>5722893
> needing to "collect"
I just get the stuff that I actually like. I've got Birth and 2001(gray) and I thought I'd be getting more, but everything MA is pumping out is overpriced, comes with no accessories, or just doesn't even look that good.
I'd buy their GMK, but being Canadian and it being exclusive makes that really, really difficult to do for under $130, so I have no problems settling with NECA since they are good figures too.
>>5722927
>>5722934
>>5722660
I really like this, but it'd most likely be out of my budget.
Unless it's standard and about 7600y after discount.
>>5722878
He looks a bit damaged, that's about it
>>5722956
Standard, 12k before tax.
>>5722973
Oh fuck, we got a price.
...And it's out of my budget. Hopefully it clearances, as bad as it is to hope for.

>>5722987
>steadily rising prices for no good reason
Inflation, m8. It's affecting all companies.
That, and this one has a huge-ass tail. It's like 1.4~ Gojis worth of plastic.
>>5722988
Not too important in this case, but adding :orig to the end of a twitter image url will give you the full size instead of a scaled down one.
>>5722998
And it looks stupid as shit.
>>5723003
I like it, Anon.
Just not enough to pay that much. Maybe I'll stick with a sofubi.
>>5723005
>I like it, Anon.

>>5723054
Good comparison.
What a shitty figure.
>>5723057
And here you again with sharing the opinions I never asked for!
>>5723053
It's about as good as the mass product will be.
>>5723064
Well if it bothers you that much I guess I'm just going to have to keep doing it.
>>5723053
The retail one could be a bit different but I think it's more a real world vs ideal photo issue rather than two different stages of prototyping.
>>5722973
Almost looks like he could light up
>>5722973
Tamashii figures are hardly worth the price they usually go for and now they expect me to pay over a hundred bucks for that crap? Man.
>>5723073
I'm clearly being flippant, Anon. I don't really care.
Speaking of Annoshit, I wonder if we would ever see these things make a come back. Considering Bandai's more exclusive-happy compared to 4-5 years ago, it seems less risky to sell.
No clue how poorly the RDs sold to warrant ditching several, already completed prototypes for a few years.
>>5723087
You care enough to reply to this post I am typing right now.
>>5723087
Was that a prototype or was the paint supposed to look shitty?
>>5722987
Why the fuck are you sharing that shitshow of a website?
>>5723097
I don't see anything wrong with the paint (assuming it's actually painted and not just molded), just could benefit from a matte coat.
It is a prototype, yeah. Doubt the final product would look better if it had actually came out.
>>5723106
> implying it's not accurate
>>5722987
The painting on that 2014 Godzilla still amazes me.
But personally I've always found Bandai's figures lacking for the price.
Based off the photos this will be a the biggest Monsterarts G by far guessing height to be 7.5 to 8 inches that's just the height. The tail that's a whole other figure in it self.
>>5723118
It's ran by an asshole who uses his connections with Bluefin to scalp.
The info's already in the thread.
>>5722550
>>5722550
Anyway, looks like a new design.

How is this guy? He's on sale at HLJ right now
>>5725207
I have Bandai vinyls, monsterarts, x plus and that is one of my favorite figures.
>>5722973
This itteration of Godzilla has even smaller facial features (teeth, eyes) than the usual, and Bandai was already having a hard time minimizing previous suits to such a small scale, while retaining detail. Now we got a 100+ usd figure that looks like Meltman from Action league Now.
>>5724229
I'm still all for that concept of judas ripping itself from godzilla spine. I'm hopi lie hell the movie is gonna be good. Either way I'm picking this up,the designs too out there for me not to like it.

How come we can't talk about Godzilla vinyls and statues/models?
This is a Kaiju general and there's nowhere else on 4chan to talk about it. I guess it is breaking rules (I always thought that rule just meant for PVC anime figures though) but I don't see what else we can do about it.
>>5725227
Well, dang, sounds pretty convincing.
But is it better than eva-08? which is also on sale, and has caught my eye.
>>5725955
I mean, just look how rad!
>>5725882
130k is 130,000yen, you dumb ass.
And even then, you're not paying the MSRP price.
>>5725956
But then also, look how cool, and endearing!
which one?
For real though i'm going to start reporting post that talk about things which aren't SHMA/Revoltech/Neca, we were free of the vinyl and x-plus kit shitposters for months and only now with the new info are they breaking rules and spamming the thread with off-topic content.

I'm not lurking through the kaiju general often, but why does shin godzilla looks like this ? Do we already have an explaination or not ?
>>5726146
Think of it this way.
We know as much about why Godzilla looks the way he does, as we do the movie itself.

Break down your thoughts on the upcoming SHMA releases and why you think the line is dead!
> 1954
This one is actually pretty reasonable, even though it again comes with nothing. At least it looks good, isn't exclusive and is the same price as previous figures in the line. Still sticking with the neca.
> GMK
Sculpt looks great but again zero accessories and they bumped the price so there's zero value proposition, plus it's exclusive so no discounts unless it shelf-warms. Non-Americans are fucked.
> 1989
Looks like a nicer rebirth Goji(as in they bothered to fucking paint it). The gimmicks are kinda cool but there's no way they should warrant like $100 more dollars. Only for the richfag diehards.
> ShinGoji
Debateable design on the source materiel, but NONE of the promo shots of this guy have looked good. Not to mention they went fucking crazy with the price again at $120+ for another figure that comes with no accessories and has... a big tail? It's almost certain that they will fuck up the complex paintjob when it comes to mass-production as well, expect QC issues abound.
>the tail has a face
>>5726731
I only buy X-Plus
>>5726734
That's cool
>>5726731
I don't think its dead. We're getting 4 (well, 3.5) new molds. Last year we got mecha KG and 4 repaints. I think its a slight improvement.
>1954
No issues here, preordered.
>GMK
Also preordered, but thats just because I'm a SHMAfag. NECA will be a better choice for most people.
>1989
Pass. Nice, but too expensive and nobody needs that many heisei godzillas
>Shingoji
I dunno man.. its gonna depend on the movie. If the movie is really good I pony up for it. However, if the movie is shit, then that price will make it very unappealing.
>>5726731
Man, good thing you 'Monsterarts are DED'fags collect Ultra-Acts, huh?
>>5726822
It's swirling the toilet, sadly. This isn't a line with promise anymore.
>>5726731
>1954
I can understand why they did it, but I just hate those eyes. They should have done what NECA did.
Gonna pick him up later, just not now.. Have enough under my belt.
>GMK
Basically what you said. Thankfully it's a release I can skip, and I'm not sure if I dig the NECA alternative enough.
>1989
Too similar to Rebirth so I would not have bothered (and the Rebirth I got was the reissue, so no torso issues or anything). It's definitely unfortunate that there's no option for a normal SHMA, for those who want '89.
>Shin Goji
I genuinely like how that figure looks. I like the design, and I think the SHMA looks cool.
Unless the movie turns out really good and I need him right away, I'm gonna just wait for the possibly inevitable sale, or get him pre-owned. It's expensive.
>>5726146
Current speculation is that it's the original '54 one fucked up by the oxygen destroyer (though not reduced to skeleton bad), and resurfacing only now because he regenerated enough.

>>5728630
Mmmm steak
>>5728630
>>5728632
I assume, given his behavior in the trailers that he probably has dementia and is just aimlessly wandering. He doesn't respond to the barrage of missiles and just keeps on walking.
I'm really curious what caused him to scream/roar though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS31sZH2p0Y
>>5728580
His tail is just too much and his joints are wayyyyyyy too obvious.
>>5728586
It's completely made of translucent plastic like Spit Fire that's why it looks like that. See pic related as an example, the translucen pieces look shiny and entirely different from the rest of the body.
>>5728645
yo is that roar official?
because if it is holy shit im so ready for this movie
>>5728760
No, it's from this fan video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEgEnTQ4tQE
I'm kind of sick of Monster Arts getting a pass on being overpriced just because it's Godzilla. This Shin Goji really pushes it too far. It doesn't look terrible, but it really does not look like it's worth the price it's going for given it's size. I'd much rather spend that amount of money on other toku related bandai merch.
>>5728787
Are you dumb? People have been constantly complaining about the inflating SHMA prices.
>>5728580
Looks a little better here. Not $130 better but still.
>>5723583
Was at TTS today. I've never got a SH MonsterArts before, which is the best Godzilla to start with?

>>5727688

Do it, dude. Get a 1/6 scale buck and cut the body peices, the vinyl should be hollow, so then just put the pieces on the body like armor.

Looks like he's terrified of himself
"My god what have they done to me?!"

Dont get the vinyl, some other company made a JJ figure that comes with Megalon and they scale well with 64 Godzilla and Revo Gigan. I cant remember the name for the life of me but im sure some other anons here know.
Am I the only one who loves vinyl figures ?
They're well sculpted, they don't break
Got a few of them like pic related, Keizer Ghidorah, Titanosaurus, Orga, G54 etc...

When we had this shop in the mall, called "Toyko" they had a fuckton of vinyls from Ultraman and stuff that I'd never seen in before. I bought SO much shit, let me tell you. Vinyl is a lot of fun, as far as I'm concerned. About 90% of the stuff we wouldn't get a regular toy of otherwise.

I know those ones, those are super fragile micromen with articlation restricting rubber costumes
and theyre super hard to find and aftermarket prices are up the ass

I was super interested in these figures when I found out about them. I LOVE the concept of having figures that are Kaiju suit actors.
Theres a 2 pack of Megalon and Jet, a 2 pack of 1964 Godzilla and Ghidora, and then theres a 1954, a b&w 1954, and a Final Wars godzilla. Then some Gameras too.
But all the reviews said the micromen would break just from being looked at, and were unbelievably difficult putting on the suits, and that the suits would render the really good articulation on the micromen figures useless.
