Still no word on if or when Nanmu is gonna do a Kong to go along with V. rex, but it probably won't be any time soon since they're working on Indominus and have teased that the project after it is the JP3 SpinoPrevious thread >>11188925

>>11219542>>11219546lmao SHMA BTFO againyou can spend like $100 to get a complete, screen-accurate Kong by buying this and the other upcoming Kong figureor you can spend $500 to get a complete SHMA Kong
Godzilla Minus Two is Habbening bros.https://youtu.be/wDD2gTgxQJ8?si=UI9kLYRanTDaRVhn
>>11219656Many saying Minus One is a standalone film and this is a new Godzilla film entirely.
>>11219667Nothings been confirmed either way yetBut i find it unlikely that the same director returning and the anocement reuseing Minus One's OST won't be a sequel
>>11219630The glove’s panels on the front are articulated too, unlike the $500 one….
>>11219669>But i find it unlikely that the same director returning and the anocement reuseing Minus One's OST won't be a sequelYou do know a good chunk of Godzilla films basically do all of those things and they tend to usually intend said film to be stand alone. The only Godzilla Series to basically say it's a sequel and runs with it the entire course was the Heisei era of films.
>>11219685The music used is specifically Naoki Sato's Rendition of the theme, aside from that Yamazaki tweeted this which seems to indicate its a sequel"Hm? Something's on my neck..."https://x.com/nostoro/status/1852356407590596825
>>11218836Godzilla was a dinosaur too.
I told myself I wasn't going to buy any more Super7 figures after being unsatisfied by their minus color... but I am a glutton for punishment
>>11219542>silver toothThank god, was that so hard? I've been waiting forever for hiya to get their kong game up enough for me to get one and i think this is the one where i finally pull the trigger.
>>11219390How did they think it was going to help? Seems like everything they do hurts us because they don't want to do the job of moderating...
>>11219542No smirk face? :(
>>11219851Comes with Skar Kings 3rd re-release in 2028
>>11219872This ain't SHMA we're talking about here.
>>11219872Which will be a Japan only convention exclusive and only available for three hours.
>>11219874>This ain't SHMA we're talking about hereAre Hiyashills dishonest or do they just have a bad memory? I had to buy a convention exclusive Burning to accessories for my Ghidorah.>>11219880>Japanyou mean Chinese
>>11219916>I had to buy a convention exclusive Burning to accessories for my Ghidorah.Can you try that again in English this time?
>>11219916Wait is the exclusive Burning out???
>>11220023Out and all gone instantly several weeks ago, good luck tracking one down.
>>11220023Yeah, i've had mine in hand since the 24th. It arrived a couple of days before my Hiya Ghidorah from Awesome Collector, funnily enough.
>>11220064Really wish they'd done more to change the necks, because the neck articulation is pretty bad compared to the SHMA
>>11220064I do hope they release that burning Godzilla as a regular release. I don't care for the Ghidorah parts so them being event exclusive is fine. Would Hiya even get in trouble for those gory bits like Super7 did?
>>11220036How? Wtf! That's insane.
>>11219765>no beam effectFFS Brain c'mon.
>>11220066The way they cut the neck scales really hinders it
>>11220070>Would Hiya even get in trouble for those gory bits like Super7 did?no idea, Toho is very weird about what they want to go hard on and what they don't/.>>11220151It was a convention exclusive, so it sold out really fast. I don't really think Hiya figures are worth $80, but I'm glad I managed to get my pre-order with INS Hobby before is sold out and people started scalping it for insane prices.>>11220161Kyle from Super 7 confirmed that Toho wouldn't let them include a beam because of the raised spines. If they want to do an atomic breath version it has to be a retracted spines version. It's basically the same reason why the SHMA atomic breath version doesn't have raised spines. Toho is being super particular about Minus One Goji for some reason.>>11220170yeah, the segments are too long and already preposed. I know they changed the joint at the base of the neck, so i was hoping that they might do other stuff to fix the articulation.
>>11220178>Kyle from Super 7 confirmed that Toho wouldn't let them include a beam because of the raised spines.And I thought Nintendo was anal with their IP's.
>>11220178>INS HobbyAre they a good site for Hiya stuff? still trying to figure out what my supplier will be for this company.
>>11220178Kyle lies a lot. He's always making excuses for the company.
Any other wild anons going to stay up late tomorrow night?>>11219656Very nice
>>11218447Why is no one talking about this figure?
>>11220289Because im a fucking brokie tbqh
>>11220289I really like his atomic breath effect.
>>11220188after they decided to kill Super7's best selling figure because it was too gory I wouldn't put anything past Toho.>>11220210>Are they a good site for Hiya stuff?I think so. This is the first time I've ever ordered from them. I used to get my Hiya figures from Gundamit, but then they started up charging massively for no apparent reason, so I started getting them from Awesome Collector and BBTS, but because Diamond handles all of Hiya's shipping in the US the figures are always months later than they should be. I'm hoping that INS will be my go to from now on, but I'm not a fan of their shipping rates so I might just end up sticking with Awesome Collector even if it means getting the figures later than I'd like.>>11220289>seamlessthat's why
>>11220507What exactly are the issues for seamless figures? I've heard good things about other Threezero seamless figures like their Rambo line.
>>11220904NTA but historically similar products have not held up over time. Shit always tears or fails in some way. Now maybe someone has finally "solved" the issue but you wouldn't really know until one had been in the wild for a decade or more. To me it's also kind of an answer to a question no one is asking. Companies keep trying to do this for some reason and it always fails. If you don't like seams get a statue. If you want a pose-able figure seams are just a part of that aesthetic. Also does anyone know how to be placed into a medically induced coma for free? I want to sleep until Hiya Miregoji drops.

These were the ones leaked a couple days ago. They'll be regularly released figures (not exclusives).>>11220978ムービーモンスターシリーズ 躍動(ポージング)ゴジラ(2023)(Movie Monster Series Dynamic (Posing) Godzilla (2023))Releasing: 2025/03/29
>>11220980Forgot pic
>>11221040I would probably get that. The trendmaster Space Godzilla was one of my favorites as a kid mostly due to those colors
>>11220978Funny they decided to release this first before the standard version which hasn't been seen in over 20 years. >>11220981I take a new statue going to be introduced for this?
>>11220178>Toho wouldn't let them include a beam because of the raised spines. If they want to do an atomic breath version it has to be a retracted spines version. It's basically the same reason why the SHMA atomic breath version doesn't have raised spines>"Toho wouldn't let Minus One have a beam when the figure is literally how Minus One looks when he's firing his beam"wtf
>>11221173Godzilla's spines retract back into his body when he fires the beam. The Super7 version has the extended spikes so he can't be depicted with a beam effect. The SHMA has a beam because Bandai didn't have the spikes extended.
Any Godzilla day streams up yet?
>>11220289>seamless meme>limited articulation>electronic gimmick no one asked forShame, the sculpt and paint look fantastic.
>>11221180This one on the official JP Godzilla youtube. There may be another one out there like they did last year, when things start rolling.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-y9dzKixzYI'm hoping we see the 5 winners as figures, along with some never before seen MMS reveals.
>>11221261If anything, the limited articulation is a problem with seamless figures in general. But Iirc it's a full armature underneath. I might get it because it's cheaper then X-plus and the arm and leg rotation have space to move unlike Mezco's 1954 seamless which has the skin covering the whole thing like a glove.
>>11221263>I'm hoping we see the 5 winners as figures, along with some never before seen MMS reveals.They will be shown off no doubt considering Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla molds were already made before they were announced as winners (The PB blue promo ghidorah figure and the 5 inch mechagodzilla figure they released a few months ago.) Although I doubt we will get any more shadow drops like we did last year unless the leaker guy only covered the figures G-Store wanted to show off before the event started.
>>11220904>What exactly are the issues for seamless figures?Rot and stretch marks, both of which are things that generally take several years of posing to show up. I love the sculpt and the accessories and I'd love to add another Showa Godzilla to my collection, but I don't trust seamless figures.
Where the HECK is my SH Evolved Goji? It's been like 6 months.
>>11221328it ships this month
>>11221329Thank you, quick-response-Anon.
Monsterarts Angweenus
>>11221341Confirmed. Part of the 70th anniversary announcements. About goddamn time.
>>11221341>>11221344Now all that's left is an official SHMA Showa King Ghidorah
>>11221346You'll get a MG2 and -2 details and like it.
>>11221341Perhaps there is hope for SHMA after all
>>11221341fucking awesome>>11221349fuck off Hiyaoid
>>11221341Very nice! He looks like he has a nice sculpt. Between this, the fairly recent 55 MMS and now the Showa Anguirius MMS: I'm loving all this Anguirus love! For such a prominent kaiju in the series, he doesn't get that much attention as you'd think he would.>>11221040Oh man, that's tempting too
>>11221341FINALLY!
>>11221359You bandai schizo's need to get a grip if someone cant even compliment a new shma release
>>11221341$600 Tamashii convention toilet exclusive
>>11221341Yay, my main man.
>>11221341Fucking FINALLY god damn.
>>11221341>>11221373Call me when there's a fucking Gorosaurus
>>11221341Sure hope it's not impossible to get. Fucking shit line...
>>11221367>>11221381What's with the rise in people just straight up lying about SHMA? The "Mechagodzilla can't close his mouth" meme spread like wild fire even though you could literally see that it's jaw was articulated in the pictures, and now retards are spreading the rumor that it's going to be a convention exclusive.
>>11221458Expectations get set by patterns, idk about convention exclusives i dont think they really abuse that all that much but two of my shma figures can no longer close their mouths.
>>11221458People on this board have a bad habit of jumping to the absolute worst assumptions for no real reason, it's not really something specific to SHMA.
MMS is doing a Godzilla '65 in the dance posehttps://youtu.be/TRWJG6gtcPQ
>>11221480You act like Bandai does anything except fuck us.
>>11221483>New DestoroyahGuess finally figured out they fucked up royally on the most recent release by making him way too small
>>11221515It's a new MMS series set akin to the 5 inch figures. It translated to something like "Giga Shuka". I think this may be Bandai trying to restart the 8 inch line of figures they used to do with that black Kiryu from last year being a teaser.
>>11221519They described as trying to focus on recreating specific iconic poses, what with the Minus One figure in there recreating that poster render.
>>11221040I wish anyone else would tackle this color scheme. I know this guy suffers from soft sculpting and a gappy waist.>>11221341Tempting since its directly measured to that Godzilla which was also great.>>11221483>>11220978Will get.
>plush Oxygen Destroyer>Godzilla x Digimon collab with new Godzilla Digimon fusion looking monster teased>barely into the event>my wallets face already
New Godzilla THE Art figure, Vol.4It is a recolor of the 1968 figure interestinglyHmm....
>>11221568Think the one leaker mentioned the 1971 Godzilla would be getting a MMS release, guess he meant the 1968 suit in general getting an reissue.
>>11221568Guess this is the closest thing Bandai will ever do in terms of making a Godzilla figure in Imperial colors.
>>11221529The Yakudou series is the "specific iconic poses" line. The Destroyah tease is for a different line which we don't know anything about yet outside of it being "giga."
>>11221583>>11221519>>11221515That would be really nice to have an in-scale version of Destoryah for the line. It would be cool if they went back and upscaled the Biollante too so it was closer in size to the original Biollante Bandai vinyl.
>>11221568I'm pretty sure the joke is "Godzilla if he Ultraman" given the Specium Beam pose from Hedorah.
Greymon Godzilla
>>11221341Strange that it kinda looks like he's based on the 1972 suit (which I know was just the 1968 suit, but still). Was this so he'd match better with Godzilla '72 and Gigan?
>>11221600>>11221601Yeah, he's the 72 version.
Best Godzilla design coming through
>>11221600>Anguirus has spikes on his arms.These Vs. Gigan Monsterarts are making notice suit details I never knew about before.
>>11221600Tbh I think his skin could use a bit more grayish-green dry brushing so the figure doesn't look so flat and matches his on screen color more.
>>11221600finally... after all these (13) years of waiting. day 1 preorder for me, he cute
>>11221613>still no monsterartsBut why tho?
>>11221600He cute. Now i just need a Baragon
>>11221648the 72 suit was more red brown than they grey-green of the 68 suit in order to conceal the damage to the suit
Giant Condor won the poll!VICTORY LAP
YOOO>>11221693YOOO
That was basically just the final fight from GvK, not that I'm complaining. It was fun seeing Goji power up Jet's scythe to cut off Ghidorah's head
>>11221716Will these ever be sold separately?
>>11221724That was sweet, well worth staying up for. The rainbow beams and the claws were super cool. I hope someone recorded it in case they take it down after the stream. Also that song at the end was a 10/10.
My special color Ghidorah gravity beams are now canon feels good man.
>>11221716apparently soIt's weird because I was fairly excited for this, but I don't really want any of them, already own a repainted Bandai Collection King Ghidorah, a Bandai collection Anguirus and the YMSF Gabara sofubi. The box for these looks like ass too, maybe I'll get Anguirus when it releases separetely.
We're getting a figure of the Gigan claw Jet Jaguar!(sadly its P-Bandai it looks like..)
Takashi Yamazaki is currently on-stage for the 70th Anniversary livestream, and the crowd started up a big "Ta-ka-shi!" chant.
>>11221744Haven't gotten a chance to watch the short yet, Jet's got Mega Man's copy powers now? I'm here for it.
>>11221755[spoiler except not really since spoilers don't work on /toy/]The military took Gigan's arms after Godzilla killed him and retrofitted them into weapons for Jet Jaguar.[/spoiler except not really since spoilers don't work on /toy/]
>>11221744Didn't Bandai just make a thumbs up Jet Jaguar in the last few years?
>>11221724It's weird that they'd continue that parallel, because I thought Godzilla vs. Jet Jaguar last year was fairly reminiscent of the initial Hong Kong fight from GvK as well (with Jet Jaguar running around and leaping off buildings to avoid Godzilla's ray and all).
>>11221724>>11221764Good riffs are worth hitting twice. It's important to remember that the Japanese do not share the same disdain for Legendary's output that Ken-sama type otaku do. They're very much on the "Sweet, two cakes!" mindset.
>>11221716>2025 release (First time ballot winner not available on Godzilla Day>No new shadow drops aside the Jet Jaguar/Artzilla>No Gemstone filmGuess last year really was the "real" 70th anniversary in terms of reveal and excitement because holy crap this year was a left down.
>>11221598This looks cool - certainly better than those two horrible Godzilla x Transformers crossover bots (seriously, how'd they drop the ball that hard TWICE?).
>>11221786>>2025 release (First time ballot winner not available on Godzilla Daynot really, I think 2025 is for the individual releases, they come put december the 22nd according to the item listingAm I the only one pissed off about Gabara not being accurate? Aside from XPLUS the old Y•MSF is still the best one (the new one sucks ass too)
>>11221341HOLY FUARKING BASED. GIMME VARAN, GIMME BARAGON, GIMME GOROSAURUS.
>>11221775Oh, I'm of the "Sweet, two cakes!" mentality, too, I just thought it was an oddly specific beat to try and replicate, especially since GvsK portrayed Kong with a type of vulnerability Toho usually doesn't with its kaiju.
>>11221598MONSTERARTS WHEN?!
>>11221716>Anguirus looks mostly the same as its 2001 release>Mechagodzilla 74 has no articulation on the legs and seems to already be suffering warpage. Which the now 22 year old 75 Mechgodzilla had leg articulation>Gabera basically just a carbon copy of Legendary Kong>King Ghidorah's wings squished so it could fix into the box and is also not articulated>Kamacaras has articulated parts on every leg and armsYeah think we now know the real winner this ballot was
>>11221803And before you ask "What Mechagodzilla leg warping you talking about?" It's literally on the display they used today
>>11221803>Anguirus looks mostly the same as its 2001 releaseWell, no shit. It's based around that particular Anguirus.2, The new Anguirus went above and beyond for a new sculpt and paint.
>>11221744Why?
Anyone got a download link for the new short movie from this year? Surely someone ripped it from the stream?
Happy G-day
>>11221919Hopefully.If you go to 4:51:00 of the stream still up that is when they play it.
>>11221716>Box releases on December 22nd with separate releases in 2025Well can cross these five figures off my Christmas list.
>>11222041>with separate releases in 2025Was that verified somewhere? Source?
>>11222049Right there>>11221741
>>11222063>>11221741Oh wow,! Derp, should have read that! Thank you!That is awesome! I'm glad they are doing that! I was thinking it would be fun to get more than one Kamacarus too.
>>11222155
Looks like the formerly Blu-ray exclusive Golden Minus One figure is up on the US store.
>>11222155Super7 has no shame
>>11222194Nor should they, considering their excellent product! :D
>>11222155>>11222160Honestly looks way better in these colors
>>11222155This is the kind of shit S7 should have been doing from the outset. They were never that good at screen accurate suits so leaning into the toy designs is a great idea.
>>11222192>32 dollarsGlad I held out from having to shell a hundred or whatever this thing cost in the market before today.
>>11221786No Gemstone movie was a let down. They should have saved some of the reveals leading up for the day of.>new Godzilla movie announced literally the day before>shadow drop 5 new figures a couple weeks before>several other figures were just leaked, weren't shown off in the event yet uploaded to the store along with other merchandiseMaybe they were rushed for time? Or other announcements were happening not shown on the big screen? It was weird. At least they didn't spend like 2 hours recording people meeting Gigan and Godzilla this time.>>11221792I had to do a double-take on him. The strange thing is I think it is pretty accurate (besides the chest colors). I'm so used to seeing the old Y-MSF figure that my first instinct was>Hey this isn't Gabara! What did they do to Gabara?But then looking at pictures of him online and me not seeing that movie in years- I think they did a fairly good job of capturing his likeness.
>>11221176No, they retract while he's charging. They pop back out at the moment of release... which is when the beam effect would be used.
>>11222227Why would you lie about something that you can literally youtube?
>>11222215>I had to do a double-take on himYou know what, I'm OP and after seeing it in the left side picture I must say it's a good figure, it's really accurate, it just looks like he has a giant ass in the promo shots. As I said, If I didn't own already a KG figure and a Gabara one I'd be picking up the box, I'm not specially fond of either Mechagodzilla or Kamacuras.
I was expecting them to announce Monsterarts Megalon this Godzilla Day.
>>11222334Ima be honest, I really like that.
>>11222337sameThe colors just go together with the sculpt so much better than the normal release. Shame is doesn't come with a beam head, but I'm still gonna get it
>>11222155>>11222160>>11222334I like it. Those colors look rad.
I made an image showing all the upcoming Bandai Movie Monster Series figures. I think I captured them all.The Godzilla Minus One 5" figure seems to be out? I didn't add that to the list. There maybe other smaller 5" scale figures coming too that I'm not aware of.This image will probably be outdated by the end of the week- Tomorrow night we should get more info. on the P-Bandai Jet Jaguar. I'm guessing/hoping it will show up on AmiAmi, BBTS, HLJ, etc. or wherever else sells P-Bandai exclusive items for us foreigners.
>>11222334I love the colors but it really makes S7 shit being glossy unpainted plastic all the more apparent.
>>11222393In this specific case I think it works because the original trendmasters spacegodzilla was also mostly unpainted blue plastic
>>11222385Thanks anon! I always enjoy these pics you make, love that crowned giant condor. The dancing Godzilla MMS is exclusive or is it a general release?
>>11221040....so he's the SAME price as the normal release, but he comes with less. He doesn't come with the crystals that the original comes with.
>>11219542>>11219546Wish we got this kong without the faggy power-range glove.
>>11222424We did, he is up for pre-order right now, he was revealed way before that one.
>>11222428Oh neat, didn't see it.
>>11222334Looks like shit
>>11222414The dancing Godzilla seems to be a general retail release (strangely enough). It seems like it would be something that would be an exclusive though, doesn't it?And thanks!
Has there ever been a Godzilla 1972 MMS?
>>11222393In the figure's defense, that's what the original Trendmasters figure looked like, too.
>>11222453I can't find a picture of it off-hand, but there was, yeah. It came out along with one of the newer Hedorah figures a few years ago. It was just the 1968 figure painted darker.
>>11222340Yeah, I've decided - I'm getting this. Looks too cool to pass up.
>>11222453I mean, not specifically labeled as such, but the 1972 suit is also the 1968 suit, which does have MMS figures.
>>11222539>>11222548Hopefully not a stupid question: Online it says they used the same suit for the 1968, 1969, 1971, and 1972 movies. Is it literally the exact same suit, or did they make modifications to it in each movie (changed the face, etc.)? Kind of like how the 1973, 1974, and 1975 suits are all slightly different from each other, even though its otherwise the same suit?
>>11222557I think they may have repainted and repaired it when necessary, but otherwise, yeah, it's basically the same suit. There aren't any noticeable changes to it like there are with '73/'74/'75.
I found footage of someone going to the Bandai booths during the Godzilla 70th Anniv. even yesterday. They show some closer shots of some of the figures and such.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlxmdyR8Eic>>11222573Ah, that makes sense- thanks!I found a cool website that talks about the suit differences and stuff too:>https://www.kaijubattle.net/monster-suits.htmlDuring the event they mentioned the Fake Godzilla suit in the 1974 movie was used for a different purpose and re-purposed for the movie. I didn't know that either. Hope we get a MMS of the Fake Godzilla that's slightly more accurate than the previous one we got in the past. Nothing wrong with the one in the past, just would be nice to have it readily available. A re-release of the original one would be neat too!
>>11221613What line is this from?
>>11222334>>11222340THIS is what I always wanted Super 7 Godzillas to be, just go for the full cheap plastic Trendmasters look. Now if only they WERE cheap plastic.
>>11222192>>11222209Made the mistake of not doing research and pre-ordering it with the blu-ray set from Side7. Motherfucker still hasn't shipped and it cost me 160 something. Have literally sent over a dozen emails and called him out on facebook since september.
>>11219656Hope its a fun vs. movie. Toho hasn't done one since final wars.
>>11222649They're the only chance of getting a Red Alone
>>11222649>Now if only they WERE cheap plastic.They are, S7 just charges a fuckton because they're """boutique collectibles"""".
Kinda crazy that Hiya didn't announce anything for Godzilla Day.
I'm so excited to get the Burning Goji x Eva x plus did anyone get theirs?
>>11222697I don't think Toho wants to openly promote a Chinese company in Japan
Are there going to be any shorts this year?
>>11222615Those new showa HG's look great i want every single one
>>11221176>>11222227So I just went and saw the rerelease of Minus One earlier tonight, and I had this discussion in mind when the atomic breath sequence came up. Godzilla's fins glow and extend, but then when he fires his ray, they go back down but also continue glowing. So honestly, including a beam accessory with this particular figure could go either way. Yes, the fins aren't extended when he fires his ray, but they are still glowing when he does. So... whatever. It's super picky.
>>11219546That's a really good angry head
>>11221341FINALLY
>>11222803I got the shipping notification for mine. Should be here in a week or so. I'm also pretty excited.
>>11221600>>11221600So who are the remaining heavy hitters left from Showa? Megalon and King Caesar?Sure there is Rodan, Ghidorah and Mothra but they were done already in their Heisei designs...not super excited for those.This leaves the B and C listers, 62 Kong, Kamaracus (a praying mantis..), Kumonga (a spider..), Ebirah (a lobster..), Gabara, Minya, Titanosaurus..Then the cameo monsters: Varan, Manda, Gorosaurus, Baragon..Honestly Baragon is top tier, always was my favorite. IMO, Megalon, King Caesar, Baragon and Rodan (I guess) are the next big 4.
>>11223025He's a prawn you philistine.
>>11223025We need Mechanikong.
>>11223025>Minya a B-listerHe has more movies than Megalon.
>>11223025Oh come on, Gorosaurus is more than a cameo, he's a key player in the final battle against king Ghidorah in the finale of the entire era. Varan, Baragon and Manda all appear less in the movie.
>>11223025Megalon definitely is the most likely of what is left.
>>11221600video with other angleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIA1wyHlVoI
>>11223089>$150 MSRP with wonky eye paint and zero accessoriesI can't wait.
>>11223095it's a web exclusive btw, what accessories could he even come with?
>>11223096>what accessories could he even come with?If they were cool dudes in charge it would come with a bloody ripped up lower jaw. Imagine they included a stand with a tiny wipeboard speech bubble so you could replicate vs. Gigan silliness. Too bad total assholes seem to be in charge over there.
>>11223095>whiny Hiya shill literally making shit up againit's so fucking tiresome
>>11223096The speech bubbles.
>>11223025Showa Rodan and Ghidorah look radically different from their Heisei counterparts and have considerably larger fanbases than Angirus so them getting figures is a given. The question is if they are gonna use the good Rodan 1956 design or the ugly 1964 design. Mothra's also a given because she's one of the "Big 5". Megalon and Minya are probably the only other "guaranteed" Showa monsters since Megalon has consistently sold a lot of merch and Minya is a small enough character that they can probably do a combo with either a Godzilla or larval Mothra from 68. As much as I want Titanosaurus and King Caesar, I really am skeptical that Bandai would put the money into tooling figures that will not sell well at all and will as a result have to be pretty expensive because of their more limited production runs.>62 KongKong is 100% not a C lister. If it weren't for his rights being tied up with Universal, Toho and Bandai would happily have already done a King Kong figure, but unless something massive changes with Universal we're never getting an official 1962 King Kong>>11223054>Gorosaurus is more than a cameo,lol, lmao evenBandai isn't going to spend the money required to tool a Gorosorus that will sell less than 5 thousand units.
>>11222631>>11222631>>11222631bumping
>>11223112Are you gonna bitch like this for literally every shma critical post in these threads from now on? I can almost understand responding like this to the posts about web exclusives or whatever but this one you replied to is actually likely, he will be over priced and his production figure will probably have shit paint qc.
>>11222682Do a charge back.
>>11223138Tooling is probably around 50,000-60,000 for one of these, and a run of 5,000 would probably cost around $100,000 on the high end for actual production. Any way you slice it there's still close to $200,000 in profit at minimum.
>>11223202>>11222631It is from the Banpresto Ichiban Kuji new wave coming up soon. It is like a lottery where you purchase a ticket and the ticket gives you a letter, which assigns you a prize (with 'A' being best prize, 'B' being second best, 'C' beng third best, etc.).
>>11223687So it's gambling. I only gamble my life, never my money.
>>11223687what's the scale?
>>11223738I don't know. I think they are pretty decently sized. The Godzilla figures they took to the Oscars is a Banpresto Ichiban Kuji figure from the first Minus One wave to put it in perspective.
>>11219630Or I can spend $0 and not get any of them. New Empire sucked.
>>11223869Perfect. Save your money so you can buy Chibi Godzilla plushes with me.
Has any 3rd party ever tried to do modern armor upgrade kids for any contemporary Godzilla figures?
>>11223601Going to have to. I've done dozens of emails, messages on FB, and posts ON his facebook. Dude just deletes and never responds.
>>11221600>>11221603>>11221604>>11221617HAPPENING?!
>>11223860So the Odo island goji should be around the same size as those?
>>11223025I'm down for a Showa Mothra, Ghidorah and Ebirah.KKvG Kong is a pipedream which I'd love to come true but I'd also settle for a reissue of the Petee Jackson Kong (it's the 20th anniversary next year, wonder if we'll get anything?).
>>11223138'64 Rodan is dopey but he potentially sells more for Ghidorah displays. I'm down for Showa jank honestly, my biggest monsterarts and hiya wish is Daiseno Godzilla.
>>11223899I'm surprised Super7 hasn't tried doing something like this.
>>11223899Closest thing is those Titan Tech figures
Preorders start on the 8th
>>11223025SHMA has been sitting on their Anguiras release for a long time (pre-Shin Gojira) same as they waited on Hedorah's release. They did not have Megalon at the time, I do not know if they now have one. They had a working Showa Rodan prototype at that time, but the wing articulation was a major problem and so it was not released. I am not sure if this has been corrected for a future release or scrapped.
>>11225268Is it a normal release? I'm so tired of this...
>>11225394Web exclusive unfortunately
>>11225268>no injured head>no speech bubblesThis reeks of Toho faggotry.
>>11221604>O K !
>>11225268fuckk this looks good, day 1 for me
>>11218805
>>11225394No Showa figures that aren't a Godzilla get a standard release. Showa figures are not popular enough in Japan for Bandai to justify a normal wide release because they will shelfwarm
Thoughts on the super 7 space zilla? I want it but y'all say super 7 is shit
>>11225492I'm getting it for sure. From what I've seen, Godzilla Ultimates are only shit because of shitty glossy paint jobs or bad articulation, and poster version Spage Goji has none of those issue. My only gripe is it not having an articulated mouth like every other super7 figure, but I can excuse that.
>>11225492I preordered it on bbts so I can think about it. The size and colors go well together. The in-hand pics posted earlier in the thread look good.
Finally found the time to add supports and print the Maser Cannon I modeles a while ago
>>11225549Modeled*Supports are super finnicky though, I should find a better orientation that doesn't put so many supports on the aerial dish to ease the cleanup process, the back was full of very tiny supports that were a bitch to cut off
>>11225492Super7 is shit. It's not just the gloss, it's the bad articulation, bad sculpt, bad paint, bad accessories, and bad price.
>>11225492I'm getting him - he looks great, especially in those in-hand pics posted earlier. I ended up really loving their Blazing Godzilla, so this guy is going to be perfect to put with him - they both do a great job of capturing the same aesthetic as the toys I used to have as a kid.
>>11225636>they both do a great job of capturing the same aesthetic as the toys I used to have as a kid.Being total garbage
>>11225652Notice how you're literally the only person who ever complains about Super7.
>>11225652>not being able to appreciate based trendmasters godzilla nah, you are the garbage here
>>11225666Tons of people from tons of fandoms at this point hate Super7.>>11225652Hating Trendmasters is fucking gay though.
>>11225652Trump won, sorry faggot
I'd actually go for this if it weren't just MMS.
>>11225666Notice how you're full of shit?
How will trump winning affect how much I pay for my Godzilla figures? This is all I care about
>>11225907From a strictly economic view, Mostly good. Trump loves Japan and won't be putting new tariffs on them, inflation won't be as bad, and real wages will rise because 15 million serfs will deported forcing employers to pay Americans real wages for those jobs. Also the war in Ukraine ends so the Russians will stop supporting the Houthis in Yemen which will drive down the price of shipping insurance.The US has been teetering on the brink of recession for 6 months which could blow all these indicators up if it does slip into one, but Wall Street has been incredibly green since Trump won so it looks like they have confidence that the economy won't implode.
>>11225916Chances of a Showa Ghidora next year?
>>11225916Buncha lies and bullshit
>>11225268>>11225405>>11225476I jumped the gun on Jet Jaguar back when he was announced and pre-ordered from Hobby Genki, not realizing Western distributors would be getting him too.Is BBTS a better option for exclusives? Any other good sites for these?
>>11226008If you are American then BBTS is probably one of the places of last resort along side Amazon. I always go with one of the these three because they are the most competitive pricing https://www.kappahobby.com/collections/types?q=S.H.Monsterarts&sort_by=created-descendinghttps://awesomecollector.com/collections/godzilla/s-h-monsterartshttps://www.eknightmedia.com/figures/sh-monsterarts.html
>>11226008Was gonna go with Genki too but the mark up is so much that getting it domestically is actually cheaper for me after shipping is applied (not in the US), too bad I'll have to wait a extra 3 months though.
>>11225549>>11225551This is awesome anon, are you the same person who posted the 3d model of one they were working on a few months ago?
>>11226254yep, that's me! thank you for your words and for remembering it anonI did a quick and dirty paintjob and while up close there are some things that could be much better I think it does the job well enough from a distance, makes me want to print a bigger version of it (Though this scale looks really good next to my Bandai and YMSF vinyls)
>>11226255well It's cool to see the finished product, totally diy stuff like this always gets me
>>11226255Dang, that paint job does look pretty good. Any time I paint something I always have the same issue where I see tons of issues that you would only notice from up close. But I think that mostly just comes from being intimately familiar with flaws that no one else will ever notice because you did it yourself.
>>11226255That's SICK! Are you hosting the file anywhere?
>>11226261>>11226279>>11226303Thank you so much anons!>But I think that mostly just comes from being intimately familiar with flaws that no one else will ever notice because you did it yourself.I think you have to balance out the time you put into things with how noticeable the flaws will be, because sometimes you spend 2/3 hours doing something that in the end won't be that much of a deal, specially if it's something for yourself like in this case, so I think you're absolutely right.>>11226303Yep! They're on Cults3D, It costs 2€ (sorry mates, I've put a lot of time on it and still I think it's pretty cheap) and it comes with two sets of files. One has more detail and the other one works better for smaller scales (chunkier detail to ease the printing process pretty much, it's the one I took a picture of), the latter one comes both unsupported and supported, which I've tested myself.
>>11226348https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/maser-cannon-type-66Forgot the link
>>11218553no its the vrex from peter jackson godzilla so it does belong here
>>11226255Reminds me of the old Gashapon figures. Speaking which, anyone have of the Super-X Gashapon figures and if so, do they scale well with MMS stuff? Was asking since was debating of maybe picking them up for my 84 and 1991 (pretending its 1989) Godzilla's for a display I was brewing.
>>11226823I'm curious about that too. No way I'm paying the aftermarket prices for those monsterarts accessory packs.
Will the Hiya Toys Evolved Godzilla be as good or better the SHMA one? Seems like the latter is better than usual quality. Has anyone had or seen eye issues typical with SHMA figures though?
>>11226839The first super-x has yet to be made for the SHMA line, only the second and third. My guess is they're probably saving that with a 1984 release whenever they get to that point.
>>11226855The MA will probably be more posable but the Hiya will be bigger and should be able to look up more. Still hard to say since hiya is updating their figure
>>11226958More posability overall isn't always great. SHMA Godzillas tend to have issues with tail tips or hands popping off in my experience. Still I'm more worried about the eyes.
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/297510?o=1BBTS has him

Is the MMS Super Godzilla still available to preorder anywhere?
>>11227813You don't know what words mean.
>>11228142You don't know what good prices are.
>>11228152You're poor.
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite toy was the Bandai DX transforming Moguera. Now I have the Monsterarts reissue and I love it so much too. It's fun, seeing how much articulation they were able to fit into Moguera's design. If Monsterarts wants to do a Land Moguera/Star Falcon set, I'll hop right on that.
>>11228504feel like if they were going to do it, it would have come with this set... a chogokin version that actually combines would be really cool too, though I imagine its not a popular enough design to ever happen
>>11228399You're ghey
>>11228113Should be. But the aftermarket prices won't be really any higher than the figure itself. Say since last few P-Bandai MMS figures saw (like the Eva Mechagodzillas) are almost the same price retail on Ebay as it was on Bandai's site.
>>11226968so amazon wont get him since he's web exclusive?
>>11229364no, Amazon will have it.All web exclusives get brought over for normal releases in America. The Atomic breath Minus Goji is a convention raffle exclusive which is not the same as a web exclusive which is why it isn't getting an American release unfortunately. But Anguirus we be available on any American site.
>>11222803It showed up today. The tip of the horn on the helmet and the fins on the knees were slightly bent (in typical X-Plus fashion) but they were easy to fix.What I'm really struggling with is the positioning of the halo. I think I got it to look decent, but I might play with it some more tomorrow. It's a little awkward with the way it sits right up against the shoulder fin. Honestly it looks pretty good even without the halo though.
>>11230236Here's some more pictures. Maybe you can tell a little better what I mean about the halo position being awkward.I really love the way they did the spines and Godzilla back parts. It looks great.
>>11229372>The Atomic breath Minus Goji is a convention raffle exclusive which is not the same as a web exclusive which is why it isn't getting an American releaseThat's fucking stupid. How can they do this?
>>11230623>How can they do this?
Did Gashapon.jp shut down?Wrong place to ask probably but the gashapon general died a long time ago
>>11231795Looks up and running to me? does the link not work for you?
>>11231795Wish they would just properly fix this board now, one of the spammers is gonna leave us alone now because his terms were satisfied and just perma ban the other few and boom, also remove the stupid autosage
>>11232384>one of the spammers is gonna leave us alone now because his terms were satisfiedQrd?
HOLY FUARKKKK
>>11232928What an odd choice for a the next figure in the line
>>11232528GoAnon, he said he would leave if his prefered candidate won, and this time he won. Fair deal.
Lets fucking go
>>11232989$500 PB
>>11232928>>11232978Hideous.>>11232989OH FUCK
>>11232989Nice, hopefully it won't take forever to get Gyaos now.
Holy shit
>>11233202
>>11233205Absolutely wild that SHMA announced 3 new figures from 3 different franchises
>>11232379It hasn't been working for a while, maybe they banned Europe like they did with Yahoo Japan
>>11232989YOOOOOO
>>11233202>>11233205>>11233209Neat, don't really care for the series hut as a generic dragon this will be nice, they should make that white one too
>>11233202>>11233205>>11233209Finally, Anti-Troon Monsterarts
Found this 1992 reissue of Anguirus by Bullmark for 50$ locally, I really like the look of these, would love to own Gabara
>>11232989HOLY SHIT
Lol, Bandai finally releasing an "accurate" Mire/GiraGoji and it's still stylized and will be a coinflip whether it's good like 1972 or garbage like the MV or MinusGoji figuresand it'll probably be $140 or something outrageous like that
WELL
>>11234161>>11234162>>11234163Absolutely mogs the soft detailing of the Hiya.
>>11234178The suit didn't have the excessive detailing that Sakai slaps on the figures, the HIYA's "soft" detailing is just suit-accurate.
>>11234162>>11234163This looks pretty sweet. I wonder if/when they'd do a Megaguirus. He's one of my favorite "one-shot" monsters.>>11234197I like the extra detail. It looks cooler while still maintaining the overall same design of the movie suit. At a glance, you can tell which Goji it is. For me the extra detail just makes it look better up close, which is more important than autistically conforming to the exact scale textures of the suit, which was made to look good on screen.
>>11234197>>11234178>>11234163>>11234208>>11234162>>11234161As somebody who prefers the movie inaccurate sakai sculpt of the original monsterarts 2000 goji, if anybody has that (especially the grey color version) and wants to sell it to get the Hiya or the new monsterarts please let me knowI missed my chance back when people were selling it for 120$ to 150$ and now it goes for 300$+ and i'm not paying scalpers on ebay for that much
>>11234162Hiyabros...not like this...
>>11234162>another MAAre we in the end times?
>>11234162>>11234163Hiya bros, our response?
>>11234280The response is simply the sculpt being better
>>11234280$50.
>>11234280$50Same level(or even slightly better in some areas) of articulationFilm-accurate sculpt$50
>>11234280Half the price and pretty much the same quality.
>>11232928>>11232978Very interesting. Good monster choice, but not sure thats a good fit for the Monsterarts line. Stardust needed a figure though.>>11234161>hey guys you wanted an accurate miregoji, we listened>releasing after Hiya's $50 one after we were asking for years for one>still slightly stylized>going to be over $100>probably QC issues tooWonderful job Bandai, perfect timing on that.What is funny is they either had it ready to go this whole time or rushed to sculpt it in order to compete with Hiya.
>>11234327How'd that car manage to leap up onto his foot?
>>11234280Different suits, both can exist.
>>11234162Take that Hiya!
>>11234280>Waaaahhhh but ours is made out of cheap rubbery plastic because it's a cheaper cheap figure but that means it's better!Are Hiyafags the new Necafags?
>>11234507>Are Hiyafags the new Necafags?No, because Neca fucking sucks and Hiya is actually good
>>11234162hiya looks more accurate
>brand warsIt's all so tiresome...When the fuck is Anguirus going up on online euro sites?
>>11234161>>11234280I am getting both. One to display, one to play...oh and one to break! Guess which is which? :3
>>11234163Not a fan of where the head connects to the neck. His little ears also look low res. The paint on the spikes is sexy as hell though.
>>11234163Looks better than hiya for now seems like Bandai fucks up cgi modern godzillas all the time but nails the old rubber suits no problem Hiya should do a shin Godzilla and a minus one Godzilla
>>11234665Really? You think that neck and head look better? Lmao look how soft the Figurearts looks compared to how sharp the Hiya looks. The head to neck transition is also way better on the Hiya. Looks almost like a statue. Figure arts does have better back fin paint.
I'm buying the normal and any heat ray versions of the hiya millenium era figures. I won't be buying shma.
>>11234507Pretty much
>>11234667>Lmao look how soft the Figurearts looks compared to how sharp the Hiya looksHiyafags are absolutely delusional
Just got this badboy in. He's as old as I am.
>>11234806I guess suit accuracy is only good until it conflicts with the nu/toy/ contrarian opinion of the month
>>11233910>>11234949I love the look of these older toys. Not that I would ever go out of my way to buy one. But it's nice to know there are others who appreciate the aesthetic.
>>11235002>/nu/toyis this what chinese shills have been reduced to?
>>11234949I always loved this guy. I just wish there had been other monsters, either from Toho or Imperial originals, to go along with him. I guess technically there was the Imperial King Kong, but he was weirdly out of scale with the Godzilla, too small for the big Godzilla and too big for the small Godzilla. Why would you make Godzilla and King Kong figures and make it so you can't have them fight each other?
>>11235534I had the two on the right as a kid. Zilla won everytime
>>11235116I think they look very cool as a decoration piece, the guy had other 1992 Bullmark reissues for the same price but that Anguirus really complimented the colours and aesthetic of my living room
the hiya looks better. the SHMA has a too thin of a neck here. Also the finish on the SHMA looks too crusty/dried. almost dusty look. the hiya looks better with it's smooth dull finish.
>>11235860Just like the shma better. Better materials, better articulation.
>>11234222That was my first SHMA and Final Wars Gigan was shortly after. I will be buried with them. Best of luck, anon!
What's the Super7 Minus One figure like? Is it any good at all? The charged spine version looks kind of neat, but I'm hesitant.
>>11236522I dont know if it will have been fixed with the charge version, but the barbell joint at the base of the tail is too short to plug in properly so it falls off easily and doesnt articulate well. The rest of the tail is has a better range of motion than their previous Godzillas but it's still pretty limited, especially when compared to the SHMA. The sculpt is pretty good, except for the teeth and the hard plastic lower body which very soft in the sculpted detail. The articulation in the legs is good, but dont expect any really dynamic poses. The softer plastic they used is very low quality, probably to try and keep the cost down, and as a result it gets damaged very easily. The hips and shoulders of mine have already started to turn green as a resault of normal articulation and that is consistent in both the minus color and normal version which probably means it will be the same in the charge up version.All and all, I'm not sure I can fully recommend the Super7 figure, but I will be buying the charge up version since I am not paying $200 for the SHMA convention exclusive on the aftermarket
>>11237073>>11236522Forgot my picture
>>11237073Thanks for the input, friendo.
Jesus I forgot how huge Legion actually is.If Bandai was cool they'd give us a bunch of small ones too.
>>11237679Well that's going to be like 500
>>11237679Fucking Turtle Christ
>>11237679Legion will be a brick. Sure there's gonna be movable parts but all in all this thing won't pose. Not gonna pay 500$ for a statue.
>>11238270>this thing won't pose. Not gonna pay 500$ for a statue.Nigger what do you need legion to do? Headstands?
>>11238322would be kinda cool
>>11238322Isn't there a point in the movie where she rears up onto her hind legs?
>>11238430>he was a simple man, with simple dreams>>11238613I dunno it's been a minute since I watched it I just remember legion being about as dynamic as biollante without the added action of the vines.
>>11237679There's a revoltech one that's small.
>>11237679X-plus made a 300 pc. set that comes in a bag like the old green army men. I've seen it pop up on Mandarake a couple of times.I almost bought one, but it sold out becore I could commit to it. Maybe next time. I think it would be cool to try to paint all 300 of them individually.
>>11239379>300 pcChrist, imagine what you could make reselling them in sets of 5.
>>11239379That's awesome, I'll keep an eye out for it
>>11234163I want to be hype for this, but I just know those teeth will look like chunky gold grills when he finally comes out
Hey, a genuine surprise. I guess this line is selling well guess they keep pumping them out. Still no Scylla then - which is like the only major titan in the movie that doesn't have a toy now, except for maybe those wolf things from the beginning of the movie.
>>11240035I do like my giant snake monsters. Playmates wins again from out of nowhere.
>>11240035Never thought One-Eye would get a figure. Here's to Boots next.
Flame Wingman is 50% off on ninnin, if anyone happens to be looking for it.
>>11240035That's really sweet! I hope we keep getting more monsters.
