MMS Giga Destoroyah EditionPrevious Thread >>11568252
The next figure to be freed up from the dreambox set is Mechagodzilla 1974 with him being released as soon as tomorrow in Japan. It appears he remains mostly the same as his boxed counterpart with Anguirus and Kamacarus given slightly different paintjobs. King Ghidorah and Gabera's solo releases remain unknown.
>>11596958What's the tariff+shipping up to for a $20 vinyl?
>>11596993Bad. I'd just wait for Godzilla Store US.
What’s taking hiya so long to release this guy?
>>11597010They have to release all the other figures they have on standby first, which is like 5-6 figures.
>>11597010>What’s taking hiya so longI'm still waiting on 91 & Evolved goji to show up from my preorders.
>>11597010BBTS originally had it for august. Now they say October. I'm still betting nukes fly before I get one in hand.
>>11596958Guess gonna have to wait for Gabera a bit longer I guess.
Haven't poked my head in here in, like, a year now, so no idea if people have talked about him since he released, but I finally freed my Godzilla Vs Kong Mecha Godzilla (Final Battle Version) from Private Warehouse hell. I like him quite a bit - lots of neat little bits, fold-out missile launchers I wasn't aware he had, and that awesome heat ray effect that wasn't included with the original version of this guy - plus some nice red accents that weren't on the first version. I remember that there was some discussion when he was announced about people being upset that he didn't come with a second 'mouth closed' head, given every promo shot we saw of him had his mouth open; now that I have him in-hand, I was pleased to see that the reason he only has one head is because he's got an articulated jaw, so all the fuss was over nothing.Part inventory is: two pairs of hands (one set open, one set closed), six back thrusters, six booster effect pieces for the thrusters, two energy 'punch' effects, an alternate tail tip, his heat ray effect, and a stand for the heat ray.
>>11598318And him with his heat ray. He's pretty fun.
>>11598318>one set open, one set closedYou can mix and match the fingers.
>>11598332Of course - see the second image.
Ah, wait - you mean the fingers literally come off of the hands and can be swapped around for a partially opened look. That's kinda neat - might be useful for making him hold things.
>>11598318This still in stock? Say since gonna take til 2027 at the earliest for Hiya to make one themselves.
>>11598780BBTS has him right now, but the price has inflated drastically - he's now listed at $170.99. No idea if anyone else still has him, so you'll have to look around.
>>11598320they still didnt paint the red segments in between the tail
I've been trying to sell my Shin Godzilla Awakening X-plus for like a year now at increasingly low prices, now even just at $230 + shipping and whatever listing fees are, so I'm actually losing money compared to what I paid for it/shipping on, and I still can't get buyers on ebay, discord groups, facebook groups, etcIs it normal to wait months and months for shit to sell even if you're listing it for hundreds of dollars cheaper then other listings?(If anybody is interested, email me at MajoraZ0000@gmail.com>>11597010>>11597020>>11597138>>11597454What's the deal with Hiya's scaling? This whole time I thought their figures had a bigger scale then SHMA but then I saw the Heisei Goji Hiya figure is shorter then the SHMA? Is it not consistent?
>>11599270been trying to sell my g2k x plus 30cm figure for a year now as well. on ebay if it's there at all, theyre asking 400+ bucks, but I've been asking for 200 or less and nothing. weird
>>11599270>>11599292People are fucking broke. Higher end Godzilla shit is a niche of an already niche market. If you really need to sell then take it to some local shop and sell it for whatever cash you can get and be done with it. Any money lost is what you paid to rent and display that piece for however long you did. You probably got that much enjoyment out of it anyway and the local shop gets to make some money and stay in business so you have somewhere you can still get cash if you need it.Nickle and diming a hobby is no way to live.
I have been looking at comparing SHMA, Hiya, NECA and Super7's 89-95 Heisei Godzilla's. No company has all done the same Heisei Godzilla's, but when Hiyas does their BurningGoji/DesuGoji they will all have done that one.I am looking at their sculpt, paint, price, articulation, packaging, scale and accessories. I am mostly looking at the "basic" figure here. They all seem to have their good parts and their bad parts so in the end it all comes down to personal preferences.
>>11599292I'm >>11599270 and I'd actually be potentially interested in your miregoji x-plus, go ahead and email me>>11599350I don't even know how i'd find a local shop
>>11600250>I don't even know how i'd find a local shopThe Internet? I don't know where you live but in any decent sized US city there is a comic shop, card shop, gaming or toy shop etc that deals in second hand stuff as part of their inventory.https://replaytoys.com/
>>11600250the figure I'm talking about is this version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAeqFD06puk
>>11600299Ah damn, I'm just after the Sakai version of Miregoji, not the movie accurate version>>11600273I'll try to look into that I guess
>want hiya gmk goji>have to move >wait until move is over to preorder>sold outnigger!
>>11600476Have you checked several sites?
>>11600476>>11600525I assume you mean on Hiya's own site but I see it on pre-order at both BBTS and Entertainment Earth.
>>11600476>not preordering and then just changing the address laterwhich shitty site doesn't allow that
>>11599270I'll buy it once you hit 200 shipped.
>>11600934Somebody else actually just expressed interest in it at around 215 (after fees and shipping and such), and I told them if I didn't get buyers within 2 weeks I'd go with themI'm not doing 200 including shipping, MAYBE i'd do 200 + shipping if nobody bought it after another few months still
>>11600961That's cool. I was just going to put it up on ebay and make 200 profit.
>>11600965Considering I've had it on ebay at only like 300$ and still couldn't sell it, I doubt you'd be able to sell it for 400
>>11601158I'm a very established seller.
>>11601277In that case and if you're not shitposting, why not take me at 230 + shipping and as long as you're not like across the country or in another country, you'll still only be paying like 30-60$ in shipping, so would be paying 260-300 total, and could still sell it then for $400 and make a 50-100 profit?If you're open to negotiate, email me
>>11599270Where did you see that the Hiya '91 Godzilla is shorter than the SHMA? I own both and the Hiya one is bigger than the SHMA '91.
>>11601780I was mixing up the normal SMHA with the light and sound effect version which is biggerHow is that version, by the way?
>>11601785Ah, got it. I really like the Hiya '91 Godzilla, it feels like he has better articulation than the Monsterarts. The tail really impressed me with it's range of motion. The only thing I really do not like is the glossy finish.
>>11601793I meant how is the bigger light and sound SMHA, since it seems relatively old
>>11601793>The only thing I really do not like is the glossy finish.Spray it with matte clear coat. For a less permanent solution you can wash it in dawn dish soap, dry it and then AFTER YOU POSE IT dust it with black or dark grey chalk dust then carefully touching just the feet or something put it on the shelf.
>>11601810Yeah I'm a dumbass and didn't realize that was what you meant until after I finished my post.
>>11601785I don't own it but the Kou Kyou Kyoku BioGoji looks great. I''ve seen some reviews but I bet it's not easy to get a hold of without paying a pretty penny.Pic related is the SHMA BioGoji, NECA BioGoji and the SHMA BioGoji Kou Kyou Kyoku.
>>11599292Should have invested in stocks, nigger
Check out bst if you wanted Mechagodzilla soul of chogokin

>>11602390I'm trying
I am currently bidding on the concept art 2000Goji special color version. Currently in the lead at about 80 bucks. No box with ith though.
>>11603401Why is he starving to death?
>>11600525>>11600570I've heard BBTS takes forever to actually ship, is that true or am I hearing from a retard who didn't realize the thing he preordered was delayed?
>>11603401Dangerous for you to post this when earlier in the thread I mentioned I'm after Sakai miregoji stuffThat said I can't even find the ebay listing. If you wanna be risky and give me a shot, link it.
>>11603453Well it seems to me that it's currently me and another guy bidding against each other. I don't think it's you though since you're unaware of that particular one. Also, it's not eBay. But I am a bit sad it doesn't have the box. But I guess we will see who wins it very soon. He might go over what I am comfortable spending.
>>11603450I haven't actually bought anything from them yet, so I can't say for sure.
>>11603450Yes. The shipping is just 4 bucks but it seems to take a week or so to actually leave their business.
>>11603458as I indicated, I can't find the listing, so yeah, not meIf you don't wanna share it, I'll give you advice that you should ideally ask the seller how well the tail can hold a pose, since many of them will have the tail droop and not be able to stay held up much
>>11603475Thanks for the advice. I am not expacting it to hold that well since it's a used at least 10 years old SHMA. But I will ask.
>>11603479expected* Sounded like it could hold a pose though.>>11603458>>11603401I kinda gave up at the end when he increased and let him have it. Shame about losing out but it is what it is.Now I am waiting to see more Heisei Godzilla's from Hiya since I think we're not getting anything new in a while from SHMA. But I suppose that Burning Godzilla and probable repaint from Hiya is going to be next year or possibly the year after that. I did a paint over to kinda see what the repaint might end up looking like
What a cursed way to package a figure
>>11604427He's doing the ABSOLUTE CINEMA pose.
>>11605220You have to hang that Mothra from your ceiling with a thumbtack and fishing line or you are not as cool as you could be.
$1200 bronze anyone? Shodaigoji looks like an old man in a wheelchair pushed off to the side of the party because he makes everyone uncomfortable with their own mortality.
>>11607741Hmmm, you could probably fit Shin in your butt.
>>11607741seems like kind of a random selection of godzillas and a weird order to put them in
>>11607741>GMK for the millennium rep.That's something.
>>11608013Weird order yes, random selection? Kinda. I mean they have Showa, Heisei, Millenium and Reiwa and they probably went with what is popular. By that standard the only outlier is GMK, unless we count having two Reiwas Gojis. But yeah, they do not seem to follow a pattern with how they are placed, not clockwise, size or "importance", probably just based on someones preference. I would personally sub out GMK for FW or any other Millenium Goji. Not a huge a huge fan of GMK's design. I mean it's cool but yeah.But let's have a little fun with this. If you had a Gozilla statue and you had to put 5 different Godzillas in it. Which ones would it be? This is an open question to everyone.
>>11608104I think there's really too many important eras and distinct identities for the franchise to be represented by 5 picks, it needs to be at least 7. Shodai - any later showa rep, Megalon suit would be my pick - Burning - 2000 just because it's more generally representative of the time than gmk - Shin - Minus one - 2014 or kotm design off to the side.
>>11608104MosugojiSoshingekiDesuGojiMiregojiFinalgoji
>>11608104The two Reiwa Godzillas make sense. One that represents the era, Shin, and the latest Godzilla, Minus One. GMK is still an odd, but welcomed, choice. Because they never use GMK for anything.I'd love to know the reasoning.
>>11608171They realized GMK's the fan favorite of the batch. Shoot, one of those Marvel books a few months ago was a sequel.
She looks pretty neat.
>>11608972
>>11608972>>11608974Looks pretty good. I am happy they are giving us more of the titans.
I'm still shocked they made a figure for Frost Vark. I would've figured he was too obscure compared to all the others.
Another 54 color variant https://x.com/t_features/status/1983700417914757249
>>11610458Basically an atomic breath version, but of course no breath effect present.
>>11609491I think he had more screentime then any other kaiju in that show.
What is the best Baragon out there?
>>11611297I would assume it's the Revoltech one, if we are talking about more articulated ones.
MMS stuff dropping like wildfire before Monday it would seem. First thing is a reissue of the 2019 Burning Godzilla with a new mold color/paint scheme more accurate to the movie. This is going to be a NON exclusive release and will be widely available. This I think is the first semi translucent figure to be be non exclusive since 1995 Burning Godzilla back in 2001 with the initial MMS launch.
>>11611399Second thing is a semi new release with think new molds. And that being the twin Mothra larva's from Tokyo SoS. The female was released before back couple of years ago using the original mold used for the 8 inch line back in 2003, but think both of them here are completely new molds.
>>11611400Third thing is a P-Bandai Exclusive Cybot Posing Godzilla as well as the Super-X (Which was bound to happen since Godzilla 1989 and Super-X2)
>>11611404And finally, another P-Bandai exclusive posing figure which is final shot 1995 Godzilla which is based on the final scene of Godzilla vs Destoroyah. It's implied a reissue of the toy dreams meltdown Godzilla as well as a new Godzilla Junior mold will be announced as Godzilla store exclusive figures on Monday.
>>11609491I find it funny that a monster from a dogshit boring pozzed young adult drama got a toy made for kids
>>11611404>The pose of one of my favorite G posters.Bandai really knows how to push my buttons.MV Burning Godzilla is getting some nice translucent figures.
>>11611404This is considered a posing figure? This legit just a way fucking better version than the one we got earlier since now it actually looks like the cybot.
>>11610458I'm glad i bought a custom head for mine. the one they used looks so off.
>>11611929Well, it's following what the Godzilla Minus One posing figure did, a pose from the poster, so I guess so.

>>11612535They showed off his figure, can't wait to get him!
Are there any static figures/statues for Monsterverse Ghidorah around the size of the Hiya figure or bigger that don't cost like $500+?
>>11613869I was but I heard shipping was even worse now since they're Chinese. Sucks because I wanted their deluxe OC figure and their city scape Gorgo combo.
Bandai will literally give us anything but a new main fighting game I see.No Gigabash is too Powerstoney for my tastes.
Repaint
>>11614074Its representing Godzilla the Ride btw

Was bound to be made and announced. Bad news it's P-Bandai exclusive.
>>11614104Fuck this gay earth.
>>11614074why the FUCK haven't they done odo island godzilla yet
It's up. If anyone has a high res DD link for this. GIVE IT TO ME. Toho like to remove these.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKHx9RYxric
Super 7's new Ultimate wave.And I dig 'em. They got a little sylization to them, and it makes the Ultimates click.
>>11614449Shin's teeth are way too thick
>>11614205They want people to not realize it's the superior minusgoji design and they fucked up by not using it for the whole movie
>>11614488I have a dream that they will do a samurai-era Godzilla movie with that odo island design. lol Seven Samurai but instead of bandits taking crops its 'lil goji.
>>11614449Those look fucking horrible.>And I dig 'emYou are a sucker
Fucking lol, how in the hell do they sell this garbage and think they can charge what they do? This is ABYSMAL.
You guys order your Giant Condors yet?
>>11614449Only thing to dig here is a hole to bury this trash in, Mr. Marketer. Does this look to be worth $95 to you?
>>11614495samurai-era Godzillawas actually the initial pitch for Singular Point
>>11614672It's a no-brainer. A license to print money. Using the odo island monster it's not even radioactive so they can do something fairly grounded in reality if they want to. It's basically a dinosaur vs. Samurai but with the Gozilla brand penetration to sell it. And they can call it "zilla" since it's not a god yet and trademark that shit for all time lol.
>>11614686They already trademarked Zilla as Godzilla 98's name.
>>11614698I always thought it was a fan name.
>>11614704It's been that way since Final Wars specifically for "They took the God out of Godzilla" reasons. While some Godzilla 98 specific merch still gets done every now and then when connected to that specific context, Zilla largely gets used more often then not to reinforce this new trademark and cut Sony out of any receipts.
>>11614669That literally looks like Playmates' release.
>>11614669Oh no no no no...
>>11614449>>11614621>>11614669>>11614748Funny that Super 7 progressively gets worse with each wave.
>>11612825I'd say they're about the same. Super 7 at the very least painted the dorsal plates green and all the other place the green actually was on Super Godzilla, but Bandai has the correct shoulders.
>>11614771Bandai's features new sculpting, Super 7's is just a repaint.
>>11614669I actually think it looks fun; it reminds me of the trendmasters toys>$95nevermind

>>11614959Dreidelwood has never and will never make a good Godzilla movie. Whatever it is I get from Godzilla movies only Toho projects have satisfied me. New Empire is the first movie with Godzilla in the title that I will never see. I have no plans to watch any of their future projects. I would love to be proven wrong and have them actually release something good. I don't think it's possible.
>>11615039New empire was a popcorn flick, take it as you will, but it wasn't some horrid unwatchable bomb.
>>11615060quality /pol/ ragebait.
>>11614959Another Toho monster and more focus on Godzilla (which seems to be what they're planning anyway).I'd like Rodan to come back too, would be nice to see him and Godzilla pair up to fight the new villain.
>>11614959Off the top of my head>Have Kong Fuck off to Hollow Earth with his kind so we can get some solo Godzilla films again>Attempt to use more Toho Villains like Gigan and otherworldly mutated threats like Orga, maybe a more horrific tone with Destoroyah >Bring back Rodan again, and or introduce Anguirus>Refatten, or embiggen Godzilla again , Evolved's form is too lanky for my tastes, maybe things got too quiet and he hibernated too hard
>>11615143>>11615126>>11614959"Kong focus" is not a problem in the MV, the problem is that none of the other non-Goji kaiju get the amount of spotlight Kong does, so it just seems like Kong gets too much.Mothra, Rodan, etc should be used as much and get their own projects too, if so then it wouldn't feel kong centric.
>>11614748
>>11615207lol fuggin saved.
>>11614959A Toho alien. Gigan preferably.
>>11614669>>11614748I like it actuallyat least the Stylization is something new to look at....
>>11615707That's what my problem with Super 7's figures is: they ARE stylized, but not enough. If they were all super unique or stylized (like 2000 C was) then that novelty could kind of justify Monsterarts-tier pricing, even if the figures articulate like ass.The problem is that they all have this vague stylization that attempts to set them apart but doesn't go far enough and makes them look cheap while they cost a premium. I mean, does the Shin and Kiryu look fundamentally different than other offerings outside of looking like it should be 20$ with antiquated articulation?tl;dr the 2002 should have been the IDW Godzilla, at least then the style makes sense
>>11615764>tl;dr the 2002 should have been the IDW Godzilla, at least then the style makes senseFrank actually said the exact same thing.
>>11613473I got a feeling we won't get the other three and I'm okay with that
>>11615764The thing is, there is a market for goofy offmodel art toys of Shin that clear two hundred bucks. But as always Brian is misunderstanding the demand for typical action figure manufacturing in their wasteful giant window boxes.
Scored the mms minus one minus color zillas for 30 bucks.
The blind box finger puppets cute as hell.
Is Monsterarts nearing the end of viability as a line? Or do you think there are enough whales to sustain these prices?
>>11618512BBTS is charging double for these - unsure if it's their greed or tariffs.They still can't do Megalon, Baragon, Orga or King Seesar for some reason. Jet Jaguar Gigan and Anguirus were great pulls though
How do you prevent or clean dust building up your Kaiju toys and statues?Most have a lot of small nooks and crannies it can collect in that seem hard to clean out, I dread figuring out how to clean my Shin Godzilla X-plus
do ive been out of toy collecting for a good 6 or so years and recently ordered the hiya toys 2000s godzilla.is this company pretty slow at releasing when they are supposed to, or what.
>>11619637Makeup brushes and soft-bristled toothbrushes. Canned air might also work. But the best way to prevent dust build up altogether is simply to dust your living space and toys regularly, at least once a week. If the dust is already caked up, brush them vigorously with the toothbrush underwater with dish soap mixed in.
>>11619666henlo satan. Shit is all fucked up because of hiya losing its US distributor and all the general fucked up shit going on with trade and tariffs and other (((stuff))). It will be here when it gets here and no one will know until then.
>>11619666The orange frat guy in charge decided it was a good idea to impose more export fees with everyone which includes exported toys and also >>11619798, so it's basically pushing every pre-order back unless you want to pay extra from the source.
Just got this guy ordered.
>>11619724Would these work?https://lenspen.comOne of them, or an air can for areas I can't easily reach, is what 've been using so far, can't tell if it's making a difference
>>11619798>>11619982ah, bbts said something like there'd be no tariff charge. figured that meant they had a line on importing.
Any advice on getting a crease out of a sticker?The corner of the nameplate sticker on my Mechagodzilla 1974 Ultimate Article got bent in the corner during application. Normally I wouldn’t let such a small crease bother me, but it catches the light in the room such that it always sticks out, so I can’t help but notice it. Is there a way to fix this or should I just get rid of the sticker?
>>11620509you can apply more glue. A tiny spec of super glue will do.
>>11618402I like them a lot, in fact I have a couple on my work desk.
>>11618588>BBTS is charging double for these - unsure if it's their greed or tariffs.Hmm. I think it's mostly tariffs but some of their prices seem like greed...Megaguirus is 20,000 yen which is about $130 but bbts is charging $220. That's a $90 difference. Godzilla 1954 move graphic plus is 11,000 yen which is about $71 but bbts is charging $110. That's a $40 ish dollar difference. I did notice that some of bbts godzillas had a tariff disclaimer that has since been removed from the product page.
