I will probably spring for GMK godzilla just because the promo shots made him look so great and they really seemed to slim down the belly (one of my main gripes with the actual suit). Considering 1954, if not just to support more Showa.

1989 looks cool, but putting him in another scale rather than the standard shma one just seems wrong. Id get him if he were the same size as the rest.

Something just seems off about 2016 though, especially in the face paint aps

Nah, they'll make a killing in sales this year. Pandering to the Heisei crowd with the big guy, getting ones like GMK and 54 that fans have been pining for for years, the Eva Godzilla (despite looking like shit) will sale very well because Eva fans will buy anything.

So dead? Nah, not close. Dead on a Creative level? Pretty close, with godzilla godzilla and more godzilla. Sceencap this: this light up monster arts line will be an excuse to get older popular figures remade into that line.

But since we dont have SHMA Anguirus or MG1, they don't have my permission to die

Forwarning that the whole body is pretty much unpainted black plastic, at least for the re-issue.

I'd agree with this, though the sculpt on his spines doesn't let him turn his torso to the right at all.

The reissue on a positive note fixed the torso issue, so he's pretty much fine to play with.

99% of the stuff they sell are resold to you and they take the middleman cost. You know how much money you'd save by learning how to use Mandarake and Yahoo Japan?
>>
>>5745939
I think a year or two ago some guy was practically giving away the (then) out of stock G2K SHMAs.

A lot of people resell as a service but you can find plenty of great deals too. There's a decent amount of stuff you won't just find on a trip to mandarake, and in the long-run you beat out the shipping cost of individual merch you wanted by getting everything that interest you in a single trip. (Unless you were also financing a trip to Chicago for G-Fest in which case the novelty of witnessing the biggest warehouse of unique kaiju merch is kinda cool, I guess)
>>
>>5745907
I don't care for venders because it's all mostly overpriced, the guests (real godzilla people not the YouTube model crowd) and the movie related promotional stuff is the only real reason to go.

The only main things I ever buy are the theater programs which I collect and the autographs and getting to meet people. I met takarada, Sahara and nakajima at a SoCal one and they were super cool people, but g fest brings a lot of rarer ones like Teruyoshi Nakano and Masaaki Tezuka, directors and such
>>
>>5745956
>out of stock
You must be new to the hobby.
That G2K is not out of stock, it is out of print. Two different things. Out of print just means scalpers are gonna scalp but check Amazon there's over 194 there not counting eBay, comic book shops, YJ, Mandarake, etc.

Mandarake is an online shop as well. You can find everything on YJ, you're just apologizing for shitty business practices of those vendors.

I do love G Fest weekend though, it's when the vendors are too busy to bid on rare items that go for cheap on YJ.

While we're talking vinyls, I want to get a few sofubi (mainly Ultraman and some Toho here and there), and I think the ones that look like gaudy Chinese knock offs are really neat

Are all of these kind of sofubis expensive as fuck? Or is there a company that isn't like Marmit and Bullmark and charge a more decent price for plebs such as I?
>>
>>5746253
Generally you're looking at paying in the range of 60-120 dollars for those vinyl figures. Marmits are a decent start. Bullmarks are old children's toys that are rather expensive. M1Go and Marusan are inexpensive choices imo.

I understand that's X-Plus and they have to accommodate for Toho licensing and high quality pre-paints, but $85+shipping for what's barely above a six inch vinyl figure is really busting my balls.

>>5746311
I'm like 90% sure the strategy here is to make the Ric set for Kamakuras look appealing.

If you go for $200 ric boy release then instead of one, you get three Kamakuras, which amounts to three figures for the price of two. I get the idea of it representing the on-film group of three Mantis props, but honestly the gimmick itself is just stupid from a consumerist standpoint, nobody actually needs three figures of the same character, especially considering they're made for shelving units. However if you buy one then you're just gonna feel silly for tossing $85+ on a 6.5 inch figure. (I'm still doing it tho)

Funny enough, we can actually talk about this vinyl figure in the thread, it apparently has poseable limbs for some reason. We pass rule 2 guys!

It's an expectations matter. Anyone who knew bout they neca line knew that it was gonna be just godzilla (because Bandai and toho are notoriously difficult with allowing other companies to do godzilla figures). No one expects a whole lot from them in general.

When shma gets it right,, they nail. Their kiryu is probaby the best representation of the character outside of those rare as hell dx models that came out in 03/04, and the same goes for 80% of the line. The problem is that they are pretty much stuck on not only godzilla, but probaby the most done and redone era (but GMK and 54 Give hope)

Granted, it could just be toho twisting both their arms and telling them what to make

I assume you mean for things like reissuing Destroyah and what not?

And aside from very obvious cashgrabs like EVA Goji and the mess that was Cheeto '14, I don't see what you mean. Recolours like G2K were definitely needed, and the first release of 1964 Goji was getting pricier to warrant a quick Emergency repaint.

Well, on one hand, you have tiny 6 inch figures that articulate and come with little accessories so you can pose them in your own fight scenes!

The other are screen accurate portrayals of our favorite monsters that are actually quite nice to look at and have conversations over when adults come visit.

Now think about how adults would judge you if you whipped out your SH Monsterarts and showed them your cute dioramas.

>>5748066
Normal adults are given a tour of your home when you're inviting them over for the first time or hosting a party. I proudly display my collection out in the open and it becomes a solid conversation over what creature is this and what movie it came from. They comment over the sculpt and how cool they look.

Now try doing that with your shitty NECAs and Monsterarts. You'd be laughed at and asked why you collect little boy toys.

Maybe you just don't have any friends that come over your home for drinks or a good BBQ.

Um, no one gives a shot about the fresh vinyl dealer shit or whatever, when it comes to rare figures, we take what we can get. Not that it will help anything since that site isn't any help either.

Anyone who knows what's up knows that people at cons tend to raid the fuck out of prices, that's why most buy online, and most people go to g-fest for the actual godzilla/kaiju related guests, not some vinyl guy or their goon squad

Yes, actually, a good amount of people do go there specifically for some dealers because they think they're getting the best prices.

>>5748397
Honestly it's not much more than them complaining about their X-plus stash and a little bit of SHMA mumble.

>a good amount of people do go there specifically for some dealers because they think they're getting the best prices.

Clawmark Toys

Xian

I can go on.
>>
>>5748360
Nobody autistically raged about Bluefin being at G-Fest, the issue is that, for the time being, there were talks of putting them outside of the dealers room to accommodate for their size, which means that people would potentially spend most of their money (on already expensive products like SHMA and $400+ X-Plus) before entering the actual room.

Whether you like the vendors or not that's still giving seller privileges which is just unfair, especially when there's product overlap of people that actually do sell SHMA.

Extremely doubtful. They'll just bitch about how the fans don't support grassroots dealers and something about capitalism being bad. Most GFans are short liberal faggots.

It's a shame dealer people at g-fest are like that. Most of the guys I meet at west coast events like Monsterpalooza are really cool people
>>
>>5748448
Absolutely, some of the organizers in the West and East coast are some of the best people there. 4 suit actors in KY in July sounds a hell of a lot better than G Fest which has been hijacked by a bunch of cock gobblers. All the great toys are gone because of that "dealer swap" before the showroom opens.
>>
>>5748432
and these scalpers have been there for years lol

it's a yearly investment for them (and I say this as somebody who witnessed a vendor give away his Ogra Bandais near the end of the convention during G2K's release) and to skew sellers just because you got a whiff of corporate is exactly what happened to Comic-Con.

I don't sympathize the action of it, and how defensive people are about it is really obnoxious to me, but they are doing a service and investing in the convention as another middleman, I understand the hustle to make money. We have phones to check prices, we know the big names, we can check Mandarake, we can learn how to use Yahoo Japan like they did, you can make a choice to avoid the boogeymen you fear, but that situation itself is too unfair whether you want take a moral high ground.

>>5748433
Not really, Bluefin doesn't have a broad market, even their dip into X-Plus isn't good enough because they only have the license for 25c, so demand for 30cm and the RIC releases hasn't changed significantly.

In any case I doubt any of this matters because I'm pretty sure they'll just move out the weird pottery booths into the lobby or whatever.

That's generally what he's called.

Idk about others, but I do that because the figures tended to mess up the year dates (GMK godzilla was released as 2002 while the movie came out in 2001, while kiryugoji was packaged as 2003 while the movie came in 2002).

Idk if it's because they came out in December so they want to align with the new year or because godzilla x Mechagodzilla takes place in 2003, but if it's the latter than GMK took place in 2004 so idk

Kind of a wierd question, but does anyone know if SHMA MOGUERA can be separated from the torso mid section? Obviously that's not an intended feature, but I mean in the same way as say, the Godzilla's can have their hands removed and replaced or tails attached and reattached.

I ask this because I'm inretested in seeing if I can put removable mods for the upper and lower part so I can recreate the "Star Falcon and Land Mogera" duo

Agreed, it does look like shit. Like, literally, it's a sculpted piece of fecal matter...same textures.

It'll probably have a period early on where it drops in price significantly.

Worried about shipping costs. EMS hits me with customs.

Just wait a bit, it'll probably go down to something like $80 or so on Amazon or BBTS after a month or so.

I live in Canada, so I'm not entirely sure if that's an option either (especially with the USD being shittier than the Yen).

Might just use a middleman and get it undervalued.
>>
>>5752268
On Amazon, sure.
BBTS? Hell fuckin' no.
Patience, friends. S.H. Monsterarts are widely available, buy from Amazon to get great prices on them. Don't buy into scalpershit.

Yen dropped below 1:100 and Asian markets are falling. There is no certainty at this point.

It wouldn't be impossible

One time, I tried making my own stop motion ish figure. I used the twistie ties you get at the grocery stores like nobhill as the Frame and kept overlaying them till they got stronger. I applied masking tape over certain areas to have the feel of flexibility to compensate and cover the areas I left bare, like the frames for the thick part of the legs

I still need to finish it, but for a thin figure like muto, it would be possible to do
