>>11719351These look so stupid. I love it
Reposting from last thread, but new Monsterarts GodzillaxEvangelion announced.
>>11719440Wait a minute that's Monsterarts? I didn't even realize and thought it was just a statue, holy fuck.
>>11719498Yep.
>>11719351This is a fun concept.>>11719440>>11719507Thus looks stupid as hell
My Hiya Millenium Goji has a floppy torso joint and a right hand that constantly pops off, but other than that, it's pretty good>>11719440>>11719507Out of the three Eva cross over designs they decided to go with the worst
>>11719842Yeah mine has a pretty loose right leg, and the hands do like to pop-off a little too easy. Though to be fair he's just gonna be in one pose on a shelf, but still a bummer.
>>11719842Could be worse
>>11719842Why didn't they paint the spines?
>>11719909It seems like loose joints are a widespread problem for this figure. I don't have their 91 Goji so I don't know if that was an issue with him, but other than the hand popping off on their G14 figure, I haven't had any real issues with looseness in their Monsterverse Godzillas.>>11719937I prefer that freaky cat thing over the bland Unit 01 with a tail and Godzilla spines. Neither are very good, but at least the Unit 02 looks interesting.>>11720841I need SHMA to release Megalon.>>11720851what do you mean? They are painted. They're the wrong color, but they are painted. The paint on the tail spikes cuts off at about the same point as it did on the suit.
I just ordered the HIYA Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, both the mecha and the 'zilla since I know they'd go together.Don't own any 'zillas currently so hope they're good. I should have really asked for advice but impulse purchased because of how cool the Mechagodzilla looked.
>>11719415same.came here to hate and then realized i love all of them. i don't even need the clip on accessories, i'm just excited to have funky colored plastic monsters
>>11720939I'm sorry to inform you, but the Hiya KiryuGoji looks like ass.
Building accessory to come with Titanic's Reptilicus
>>11721463Neat, I really like the European-style buildings.
Hiya GMK or 2000?
>>11721608They're entirely different designs, you can't pick a favorite between two completely different Godzillas?
>>11721250
>>11721613I like both, I was just wondering how people who own one or both felt.I do prefer GMK's design tho
>>11721608'99 is objectively better, even with the dorsal plates being inaccurate. GMK has a mismatching finish on the feet and tail, an overly heavy brown wash on the body and a terrible headsculpt.
>>11721250>Hiya KiryuGoji looks like ass.The Kiryu and Goji or just one of them? This guy looks okay to me.
>>11722091I like this dudes photography. It's fun.
>>11719351CHAAAAAAAANNNNNGGGGEEEEE iNtO Di. Gi. Tal monsters
Why did they neglect to paint around the eyes of tigrex? It comes like the bottom pic. And the tip pic is after I fixed it
Another threezero goji review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-Z-rH8EFlI They uses silicon instead of rubber so it should hold up. The tail also has joints inside. Thought it was bandy or something. Articulation seems pretty good all around. Wonder if we'll get a Mecha G to go with him. Closet thing to his scale is the Dx Chogokin. Which is way over priced.
>>11722437Instead of buying expensive collectables ya might want to fix your roof and ceiling
>>11722340They neglected much more than that. It has almost zero washes and very little shading. The stripes are also not blended at all, they look very flat and cartoony (Rajang has the same problem).
>>11722091I meant the KiryuGoji suit
So um got the Marusan silver 1989 Godzilla today, and for some reason came with the Bandai MMS Statue Shin Godzilla with it even though it was never mentioned in the original listing. Funnily enough, I was gonna prob get that figure at some point and it just kind of got packaged with this for free I guess lol?
>>11722958not accurate or don't like the head or?
>>11719351Pure Trendmasters energy
Wait a minute, I heard HIya Shimo was too small and the Monsterarts was accurate sized but base on outdated design materials. Was that wrong? They look to be about the same size
>>11723367
>>11723367>>11723368They are basically the same size, and that's the problem. The Hiya is in a larger scale than the SHMA. That's "mostly" fine when you put her with since the Hiya Evolved Godzilla since it's also too small, but it's not good when you pose her with the Hiya Kong or the upcoming Hiya Skar King. The Hiya Shimo is fine if you are posing her with SHMA figures, but not with most figures from her own line.
>>11723039It's both. The body isnt accurate and the head sculpt is ass.>>11723367The Hiya line is supposed to be 7-inch scale. It being slightly smaller than a 6-inch scale version of the same figure is bad.
Forgot to post I finally got my light up version. Got him for free. Still trying to sell my non light up version. Was able to sell my other extra one on ebay.
>>11724384You again? Clean your shelves before taking pictures of your figures, man, you've gotten enough banter already. That Sony thing looks dirty as fuck. Cool figure btw
>>11725148terrible picture but amazing collection anon
larger than 384 x 510 resolution would help
>>11725165noice regardless
>>11725148Damn, super jelly of that Gigabrain KG.
>>11724384You are a fucking SLOB
>>11725148What actual trash
>>11725412jews are p bad but slobs are in fact worse
>>11725148Very nice collection there. I see some good YMSF figures throughout.What is that giant King Ghidorah on the upper left?
>>11725547>What is that giant King Ghidorah on the upper left?-> >>11725348
>>11725165Yikes, I knew some of you were slobs, but holy fuck
>>11725148>>11725165You can tell how fat they are just by how gross these pics are. Pretty common in the fandom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4g8hmTZJfI
>>11726460That head sculpt is terrible.
>>11726460Bandai should give up already.
>>11726477Sakai really struggles with Showa suits aside from MosuGoji, it seems.
>>11726488Lmao no he didn't. The shape of the eyes is wrong and the teeth are so oversized he can't close his mouth fully like the suit.
>>11726460>13,200 yenWhat the actual fuck? Inflation has not gone up enough in Japan to justify this by being 2,000 yen more expensive than Godzilla 72.>>11726469>>11726480Insane that I can shit on this figure without resorting to making shit up about it.
These kikes will literally use this as a promo image but include no beam effect, just a pair of fist hands.
>>11726613>>11726460I was going to complain about it being more expensove than the 72 figure, but it's spines are on ball joints so i guess that's fair.
>>11726613I will never understand the raw lust for beam effects. I have a drawer of them and they never see the light of day. Do they sell well on their own?Give me hands, heads, props, vehicles, buildings, anything but a god damn beam.
>>11726641>The fins are jointedWh-why...?
>>11726694In the showa, those fins are flying everywhere.
>>11726655I'd like a beam at least for every era and Showa hasn't gotten a beam since 2018 with Godzilla 62, so it would be nice to get one. That being said, in general, I agree, alternate hands like the ones that 74 is coming with, buildings, or even an alternate head like 72 came with are preferred to beam recycling. >>11726694so that you can move them around when you're posing him. His spines in the movie jostled around a lot, so they decided to replicate it in the figure. The 72 has one spine on a weird hinge joint that can move forward and back, but I guess Sakai or whoever does the articulation decided that wasn't enough, and that the main spines needed to all be on ball joints.
Found a 1991 Mothra larva a while ago, I'm just missing Manda now, thinking about getting the HG one
>>11726747Creepypasta Minilla.
>>11726747Minilla has given up
>>11726747
>>11726750>>11727054>>11727164kek I just loaded up this image before I even saw your posts>hurts just a little bit
don't tease my baby boy
>>11727389Garten of Banban lookin ass
>>11727326Y-MSF really need to reissue this or make a new mold that has color in his eyes beyond just pure black voids
>>11726613I would complain but fists are more than we’ve gotten on any other goji in ages so I’ll take it
>>11727414they did that other one based on the All monsters attack suit, but the sculpture was too much soft for my liking and the paintjob didn't do it too much for me. Scale-wise this is the only Minilla figure that looks good with the rest of my set and repainting the eyes wouldn't look much better because it's a little off-model too. I love my broken, empty child.>Y-MSF really need to reissue thisThey've thrown out many, many molds in the the last two years, so I wouldn't count on that. I hope they come back to Godzilla sofubi soon, I'm not into Ultraman that much, only the first series.
>>11727478Didn't he make the 98 animated series Zilla not too long ago, as well as the Marvel Godzilla?
>>11727409lmao
It's out, and it has more paint apps than the original. Came with both a missing head piece and the head, no undamaged wings however.
>>11728273>it has more paint apps than the original.Eh, I like the way the original looks better. The Battle Damage version is too dark.
74 is up on Kappa Hobby for $99https://www.kappahobby.com/products/s-h-monsterarts-godzilla-1975
>>11728728Cut that price in half and I'll think about it.
>>11728742Lol, okay poorfag
>>11726747Where did you get that tiny Varan from?
>>11728196It's gonna be on sale soon, they've announced it on their socials
We got three new kaiju in the recent IDW comic for the ongoing Godzilla. All I can see is three new creatures that won't get a toy, joining the ranks of the Trilopods, Magita, Singura, Antra, Mothra Gemini, Usuru, and Yuggoth.
>>11728792It's from the Godzilla HG Series 6, I got it from Mercari through Zenmarket. Varan's also in the 2025 HG Series in other pose.
>>11728823No one and I mean NO ONE cares about the current IDW ongoings.
>>11728841But....Kaiju moose!
>>11728823Wow, fuck off back to /co/
>>11728846So when are you gonna show off your collection?
>>11728846It ain't like we get figures of comic exclusive stuff>Batman and King Kong by McFarlen>Superman and Godzilla by McFarlen>The Kaiju Rangers from the 2nd Godzilla vs Power Rangers comic>The TMNT Kaiju from TMNT vs Godzilla>Tiamat, who made her first appearance in a comic>Godzilla Dragon Zord from the Godzilla vs Power Rangers II>Kaijumegazord from Godzilla vs Power Rangers II>Darkhorse Godzilla>YMSF's Marvel Godzilla
>>11728469Problem about Heisei King Ghidorah as a whole is no one actually knows what the actual suit color was. Some say it was bright gold, others say it was a darker gold, and then there's bronze gold. Think it's probably due to Godzilla vs King Ghidorah film quality differs with each release with some having filters, and some being poor quality. For this case, think Hiya based this new figures color on the recently shown prop heads at that one expo shown here (yeah they're basically completely rotted away.) which are more darker gold and possibly due to them being 35 years old and faded. Only thing I like about this new figure is the wings being more detailed than the original in paint while the older figure looks a bit too rubbery.
>>11728912I thought he was the same shade of gold as Crow from MST3K.
>>11728273>Literal battle-scared vs factory new comparisonStill probably gonna pick up the first release.
>>11728915Yeah idk. I always thought he was of the darker gold variety rather than the bright gold one would see from say Showa or GMK. Is why I never picked up the MMS 2.0 versions of both it and Mecha King Ghidorah and have the 2001 versions of both.
>>11728912>>11728922And just also doesn't help these two shots are from the same blu ray release which only made things worse on which is the actual color.
>>11728927He's actually Blue and White, he just LOOKS gold.
>>11728980That's Showa King Ghidorah
>>11728986Not that you know anything about kaiju
>>11728988Do you?
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO
>>11729095Best Goji desigm
>>11729095>$350
>>11729103Are you retarded or just baiting? it's litetally cheaper than Godzilla 74
>>11729154>falling for Bandai's schemes
>>11729095It feels like there's been a ton of Monsterarts announcements this year, is there an anniversary going on or something?
>>1172909512k yen for a figure half the size of the minus one, alright man
>>11729095>100-130 burgers for a 4.5 inch figureRemember when everyone was complaining about how expensive SHMA Shin was for being what it was? Good times.
Hiya Destoroyah incoming!
>>11729291Coming 2029
>>11729291Magnificent. And knowing Hiya we'll probably get the damaged version as well
>>11729292Wonder why this guy didn't appear in the other Jackass movies. He was like, in the first one and then stopped.
>>11729294Think it because he died after the first movie
>>11729296lol
>>11724384still selling the non light up version for 250 on bst
>>11729296You're thinking Ryan Dunn, that's not Ryan Dunn.
Anybody else really excited for the Super 7 light up Godzilla? I think it looks a lot better compared to the original release BurningGoji and I love gimmicks like lights and sounds.
>>11729101I didn't care for the Minus One design, so this neat guy is all I'll want from that movie.
>>11729310I've only bought one super 7 and it's the dead goji at the bottom of the sea.
I don't collect toys, all I know is that I assume the some of the Bandai and other higher end models have great articulation but you pay for that.I checked and see that the 8 inch Reaction retailed for $55 and you can get it as cheap as $44, so would asking $30 for this, "pre-owned" in that it's never been taken out of the factory box but you are just buying the Godzilla from the McFarlane two pack, a fair price for either B/S/T or eBay? I'm not looking to make a profit, I just want to unload it for a fair price to other collectors but I want to make back some of what I paid. These sold for $79 which isn't what I paid, but after postage and taxes, it's very close, so $30 I'd be happy enough with, maybe $35 on that site given that eBay will collect fees from me.Any realistic, constructive advice would be appreciated.
>>11728823Black Hart looks potentially pretty cool. Not a lot of detail to go on at the moment.
>>11729308Dunn was alive for number 2. This dude think legit died shortly after the first movie. That or he went to prison.
>>11728823>Usuru, and YuggothWait, I'm falling behind. Who are these two? Also, there's Zoospora.
>>11729095>>11729101>>11729245I'm new to this, preorders go up today, right? Where would I actually preorder this at?
>>11729310Looks like shit
>>11729540one of the import shops that will rape you on tariffs and shipping
Lmao, the bootleg SHMA '91 Ghidorah got featured in an official Toho video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUzDUhzyTB4
>>11729339Yuggoth was a mushroom titan introduced in Escape from Skull Island. Usuru is from the Godzilla 70th comic, a giant mosquito.
>>11729339>>11729779It'd help if I provided links.:https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Yuggothhttps://wikizilla.org/wiki/Usuru
>>11729095
got this not quite keshi goji blind box. He comes in a little building
>>11729791Shame they didnt do more of these figures. I got two about a year ago and got a purple King Ghidorah and a orange Mothra.
>>11729791aw man, I want one
>>11729101I'm not the only who sees American Godzilla in that design, right? The influence is certainly there. Iguana looking mf. We've finally come full circle to japan loving the design.
>>11729913>I'm not the only who sees American Godzilla in that design, right?You're not, just not that one.
>>11729913He definitely has a bit of Zilla energy to him with that hunch, though the angle is probably also doing work. Not that I mind, since Zilla is still the peak Godzilla design (long live Junior)
>>11729913I mean they've wanted to make him more dinosaur-like since the Heisei era.
Won these little Godzilla and Mothra plushes from a claw machine. They now hand proudly in my car.
>>11730119Hang*
>>11730119Cute. I found this old Trendmasters King Ghidorah at a shop and now he sits on my dashboard.
Just ordered this. My favorite zilla movie.
Hiya prices started low. Now they climb. Why is this inevitable? In only a year they have gone up over $10
>>11730864Everything always gets more expensive with time except the Costco hot dog
>>11719842How posable is he compared to an equivalent SHMA? The HIYAs in promo pics just seemed to be pulling off more than the SHMAs to me but maybe I'm just mistaken
>>11730864Hiya figures were always artifically low. This was made obvious with the first Shimo costing 60 bucks and the second costing 90. They had to stop using government subsidized factories so that they could get figures out on time. International retailers book shipments months in advance so Hiya delaying figures by six months to a fucking year was losing them money and pissing them off. All chinese factories are subsidized but there are some that service Chinese companies and brands which are much more heavily subsidized by the government and because of that have enormous waitlists which result in heavy delays. You can either have cheap figures or you can havecon time figures, but you cant have both.
>>11730937I'd rather have the delayed cheap figures
>>11730659Rad
>>11730659I'd love to get one too, but I don't have the space or money for it.
>>11730900I dont have the SHMA so I cant vouch foe it, but i find it hard to believe that the Hiya has better articulation then it. It's not terrible or even bad, but it isnt even as good as the previous Hiya Godzilla
>>11731263How sad, even with all those cuts, Godzilla articulation just doesn't cut it.
.
We're getting one of the ugliest Godzilla designs ever.
>>11734247It's impossible to judge any Godzilla design from any one angle, especially from a cropped picture.
>>11734247What dis from? Also MMS 2.0 Godzilla Junior is finally being released (It's a G-store exclusive item.)
>>11734247See Godzilla did the fusion dance with Theodore Rex finally.
>>11734247What the dink is that supposed to be
>>11734247>Theodore Rexis this an early season april fools joke?
I noticed that deepdiscount.com (known for blu ray sales mostly) also sells SHMA, Hiya, Ichibansho and other kaiju toys. I found the SHMA Mechagodzilla and Rodan set (Makuhari Battle) there for $110 after coupon. I bought mine last year for $160 and enjoy it, so for $110 I recommend it to anyone still undecided.
So who's looking forward to Megaguirus?
>>11734913It should have been Orga.
>>11734913First Monsterarts to sell two copies.
>>11734913If the price wasnt so retarded I would have picked her up.
>>11734247Isn't this just the design from the 70 Years video Toho put out?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZHsJ-v2MYQ
>>11735295Also on second look the pic says Malaysia, and this is the statue thats at the Malaysia Godzilla Store.
>>11734913Nobody, it's too expensive
>>11734913The same people who bought that SHMA Legion.
>>11735584No one bought that, no one could afford that.
Trying to decide on my next Hiya (have 91 ghidorah and 24 kong), is it crazy that I'm leaning towards Scylla over Shimo?Shimo I'm sure is the objectively better figure but the more I look at her / it the more I realize I can't stand her design lol
This is a $35 toy now.
>>11735996Whats this? Godziburst? Also bought the 1974 MMS Godzilla to go with my memorial box fake Godzilla. Like the color contrast for an otherwise identical figure (Bummed we never got the alt suit as a figure with more battle damage.)
>>11736275Space Godzilla by Super 7topkek
>>11735996Barrel chest lookin mother fucker
>>11735441>US Godzilla is a kodomo-gator bear of a Godzilla.>Malaysia Godzilla is 54, but pointy and green.>Japan Godzilla is a crispy, pissed of amalgamation of Godzillas.Neat.
>>11735996More like Swolegodzilla.
post recent gets. this and
>>11736987this cute guy
>>11736987>>11736988Very cute. I picked-up this guy at a toy show recently along with some SW Micro Machine playsets for him to terrorize.
trying to watch Monarch for the kaiju and wow 20 seconds in and I want to turn it off. It looks SO bad.
>>11737188>trying to watch MonarchHave some self-respect, anon. Watch a youtube compilation if you must and leave it at that.
Ignore Miku. The popcorn bucket is great. Will be one of my centerpieces lol.
So how are you guys feeling about 1975? Better than 72? Also where can I get 72 for not 200 fucking dollars?
>>117387497.99
finally got them out. yes I need to clean that area. just enjoy the zillas
What's generally considered the best Hiya Legendary release? There's like 30 goddam repaints and variants now.
>>11740344Of Godzilla specifically, or any monster?Whatever you do, don't get the Ghidorah.
>>11740628Godzilla, specifically. I don't particularly care which Monsterverse iteration, other than that fruity pink evolved thing, they look similar enough to me.
Did I wait too long on Monsterarts Anguirus, is he out of stock now?
>>11740628>Whatever you do, don't get the Ghidorah.Why not? Both MV and Heisei figures mog both of the SHMA ones.>>11740661Depends on which one you want between normal or atomic breath versions. This case, the GvK reissue and the KOTM AB one.
>>11740150The lighting on that Deforeal Shin is really vivid, and he's super detailed. I had convinced myself I didn't need a light-up Godzilla 2016 (and I don't have any other Deforeals yet) but he's actually still available on godzilla.com. Picking up this little (big? big.LITTLE?) guy might be worth it.
>>11740729he may be worth it to you. Mine ended up being free. I had a non RIC version that I got for 150 or so off of HLJ. Sold him once I found a light up one on ebay for a decent price. They sent me a non RIC version knowingly so I called them out. They gave me the non RIC version they sent for free. I ended up having 2 of them as I ordered a actual RIC one from Mandarake for 400. Sold the 2 regular versions for 500 so got him for free.make sure it has a big yellow sticker and is listed as a RIC version EXCLUSIVE. If not they are selling the regular non light up version.I attached the pic of what any light up version will look like with the sticker. Again if it does NOT have that sticker it does not light up. Sorry about the long post but I don't want other people to get scammed like they tried to scam me.
why is this black thug nerd chick in the Monarch show? Please tell me she's not a reoccurring character.
>>11740706>Both MV and Heisei figures mog both of the SHMA ones.
>>11740823Um yes? The SHMA MV Ghidorah is not movie accurate at all and has two wings that are basically just giant fragile dinner plates. And the Heisei Ghidorah figure breaks the moment you just move its win a single degree, and also inaccurate. Final nail is both are expensive as shit (even the bootleg SHMA Showa King Ghidorah is cheaper and looks better than the official one.) TDLR, stop huffing the SHMA cope fumes.
>>11740849Ignore him, it's the NECA fag whos just larping again.
>>11740823You're right, HIYA gapes it.
>>11740853Jesus the Monster Arts didn't age well at all. What was that hack Yuji Sakai smoking with that mold by giving him laughing teeth dentures?
>>11740853>tfw left was the cheaper one in retail priceYeah... don't think Bandai will ever reissue this Ghidorah anytime soon. That is unless they do some 2.0 mold or some shit to justify being the more expensive figure between the two because no sane human being would buy right ever again in its current state.
New Godzilla virtual pet, modeled after the Digimon Pendulum. Are you able to identify every kaiju in the top box from just the sprite?
>>11740897Yes, except the third to last one between Burning Millenium Godzilla and Gatling Gigan. I can't tell which iteration that is. Maybe the GEMSTONE Godzilla?
>>11740853Hiya should've reduced the size and price of their figures.
Destroyah arrived.The joints are so fucking stiff, man
>>11741360
>>11741360Apply Vaseline to it via qitp, but not much. Just don't use it on say the wingflap joints since pretty sure like the two previous releases break easily. But yeah this and that BG are the best releases of them currently. Also if you wanna get say the smoke effect or BG, pick up that one Bandai line that has them since they're basically the same effect part but not as detailed.
this show is filled with redguards and lesbos. How terrible
S.H.MonsterArts GODZILLA (2004) Action Figure worth 66 bucks before nip shipping?
This Shin was revealed around 8 months ago by Threezero, preorder when???
>>11741360How's the overall articulation?
>>117415305poa
>>11741395Thanks for the advice! And I actually already bought that new Bandai line Burning Godzilla for that exact reason. It's just sitting in my pile of loot on BBTS while I wait for the Hiya GMK to ship>>11741530I havent had a chance to try freeing up the joints more, but as it is.>The Good:-Range of motion on the neck is surprisingly good-Same goes for the tail-range of motion in shoulders is good-hips allow for a nice crouching pose-ankles have a good range of motion and are strong enough to support him standing with his tail off the ground >The Bad:-left arm elbow is totally frozen-torso joint can swivel but nothing else-if there are knee joints I cant tell because I get not motion from them.-the wings are scary as fuck to mess with
>>11740853The scales on the hiya look wrong like they lack definition or something
>>11741428Any reason you're talking about a garbage tv show in a thread about autistm over plastic pieces?
>>11738750What's this ugly little guy?
>>11741556do you not know where you are?>>11741606word's smallest godzilla figure
>>11741551Interesting.., you think he's worth the 200+ price tag or should I wait for Hiya's variant?
>>11741798It's tough because the figure has some glaring issues with articulation and that really make it difficult to whole heartedly recommend at that price, but the sculpted detail is really great. If you only want/need one Destroyah figure, I'd probably wait for the Hiya, even though I hate the idea of bendy wire wings. I really love Destroyah so I think it's worth the $200 and look forward to posing it with the Hiya when I get that one too.

I really love Destroyah so I think it's worth the $200 and look forward to posing it with the Hiya when I get that one too.Fair enough, as expected from SH quality, I'll possibly just wait for Hiya's variant since after a few SH Monsterarts experiences lately, my mind has been cautious with them.
>>11729310supper 7 Goji stuff always seems like such a ripoff, only thing i can really justify wanting from them is shogun Goji because no on else is gonna touch shogun gojisuper7 could easily carve out a small niche doing the more obscure stuff like this but nah fuck it, "i cant belive its not hiya" and "what if godzilla was kenner starswar"
>>11741895>bendy wire wingsInstant hard pass. Do they also still use that soft plastic? I got their earlier mv figures and I hate how they feel, like it'll rip or erode or something so I treat them like statues for the most part.
>>11741995I will say, after taking him apart and lubing up his joints he actually moves pretty well. Knees still have no range because of how chunky he is, but his torso arms and wings are moving a lot better.>>11742428They are still using the soft plastic, though Godzilla 1999 is a little harder than any of the Monsterverse Godzillas. Scylla is pretty bad though
>>11743389
anyone use those acrylic risers for their sh monsters? Trying to measure how wide they should be. I tested it on some ones I have for figmas and they aren't wide enough to support Godzilla's FAT fucking tail.
>>11743389How do you take it apart like this without breaking anything?
>>11743876I barrowed my girlfriend's hair drier and heated it until it became soft enough that I could tug them out of socket then I lubed up the joint and put the parts back in the socket while it is was still warm.
>>11743884What kind of lube did you use?
>>11743888Silicone Shock fluid
Titanic Creations have posted a first teaser for their upcoming Reptilicus figure.
>>11744421lol
>Monsterarts Kiryu was 2013>SOS Kiryu was 2014>final battle Kiryu was 2018When is final battle SOS Kiryu? Get on it Bandai.
>>11744421Well, that's a recognizable and non-redesigned Reptilicus head, so it's already off to a good start.
holy fuck search engines are so shit now a days. Does anyone have the Defo-Real Hedorah ric version? Or can find a video of the light up feature? I want to see it in action.
>>11744435Uh oh>>11745777And here's a better look.
>>11746344>ReptisaurusAh, so it is unlicensed after all.
>>11745603Those Kiryus were under $100 the reissue of heavy arms will be $250 sadly...
>>11746379Only regular Kiryu was $97. SOS Kiryu was $125 and final battle Kiryu was $135.
>>11746349Amazingly not, actually. Back in the '60s there used to be a Reptilicus comic in Europe. The publishers eventually lost the rights to Reptilicus, but had the brilliant idea to continue the comic by reworking the character into their own OC, Reptisaurus. Based off of >>11744421 it looks like you can swap parts out so the figure can be either Reptilicus or Reptisaurus, which is a fun touch.
Lately I've given up on Godzilla figures. I feel like no matter what they do, because the figures are so chunky and the monsters are not typically acrobatic or highly movable in movies anyway, there is so limited a set of poses that 'work' for them I wonder why buy a highly articulated version rather than just a statue
15 inches long, 45 points of articulation, alternate head and wings, "danish building" and flight stand, $100.
New Aztec Ghidorah colorsIf anybody wants an obsessive breakdown of his Aztec cultural influences let me know and I'll post one
>>11747941>If anybody wants an obsessive breakdowyeah, lay it on me. I love this look. The Aztec Godzilla is peak design.
>>11747965SureFirstly, the skulls on his knees are probably meant to evoke the Tzitzimime (a group of lesser goddesses or "demons" associated with stars that would end the world if the New Fire ceremony wasn't preformed every 52 years) and other feminine deities with destructive traits, since they are often depicted with mouths or eyes on their joints. You'll notice that the Aztec Godzilla also has mouths on his joints too for the same reference (though sadly that's one of the only meaningful iconographic details the Godzilla Vinyl has, Ghidorah has way more, as explained below), which makes sense since both are destructive monstersNext, and tying into that, are his wings: The inside portion of the wings are rendered like how butterfly wings are in Aztec and Mixtec artwork. This is actually another reference to the Tzitzimime, as some major deities were considered Tzitzimitl (the singular term) too, namely the war goddess Itzpapalotl was the "queen" of the Tzitzimime, and she was particularly associated with butterflies (which also had other ties to soldiers/war) and predatory birdsNext, we need to talk about Xiuhcoatl: Xiuhcoatl ("Turquoise serpent", but often called fire serpents because...) like their namesake the color/mineral turquoise were associated with fire and lightning (again, fitting for Ghidorah) primarily, but the "xiuh-/xihuitl" in their names can also be read as "year", or herb, grass, or reed (I forget which, maybe all 3) or as meteor/comet, which ties into Ghidorah's extraterrestrial origin. Xiuhcoatl are often depicted as serpents, but sometimes they're depicted as monstrous caterpillars or with butterfly attributes, tying back into the wings, and there's also symbolic connections between catapillars/pupae and comets, grasses, etcYou can see a collage of some elements of Xiuhcoatl symbolism in pic related, though it's missing elaboration on the year thing (which I'll get into in my next post) and the catapillars2/3
>>11748018>>11747965cont:The Xiuhcoatl elements on Aztec Ghidroah are both implicit, due to it emitting lightning and being serpentlike and with butterfly wings, but it's also explicit when you look at his tailtips in pic related. As you can see when compared to the tailtips in >>11748018, they're a very close fit, with the "tassels" acting as the reed glyph built into the tail, just with a large knife/tecpatl replacing the fire drill. You can also see rattlesnake tail segments, which Xiuhcoatl generally have (though often presented as trapezoidal segments, which combined with the triangular tailtip make a "trapeze-ray" sign representing sunrays and also that resembles the sign for "year", again, tying back to the linguistic connection with Xihuitl and solar/fire associations), and a set of curved triangular arrowpoints, which are representations of sunrays like in the trapeze-ray motifs I just describedOne last Xiuhocatl thing: I'm not sure this is totally intentional, but the color scheme on the Planet X variant, the red, gold, and turquoise, also matches the colors seen of Yahui in the Codex Zouche Nuttal as seen here: https://arqueologiamexicana.mx/sites/default/files/manuelhermannlejarazu25_am185_ii.jpg?itok=0E5NVnOG, Yahui being the Zapotec and Mixtec equivalent to Central Mexican/Aztec Xiuhcoatll., aRegarding the knife in the tail, knives were obviously associated with death, harm, or war, so again that fits with Ghidorah though Godzilla also had some in his Vinyl. You'll notice there's also knives lining Aztec Ghidroah's wings which was another trait of Itzpapalotl's, with her name litterally meaning obsidian/flint butterfly, and more broadly the feathers of predatory birds are sometimes drawn like flint knives.Whoops ran out of space again3/4
>>11747941thunder lizard
>>11748020>>11747965cont:Finally, Ghidorah has earrings shaped like shields/chimalli, with a step fret design in the middle (the spiral/meander pattern seen in Mesoamerican art, Ghidroah has other meanders all over him but none are explictly the step fret aside from here), with there also being two trapeze/trapezoidal shapes trailing off the back of them. You can probably draw a connection bewtween the shields, war, and Ghidorah again with him being violent but really I think the chimalli earrings are just there to look cool and "Aztec-y"So overall, there's a lot of intentional references to destruction, lightning, and violence/war in Aztec symbolism with the Vinyl's design. It's pretty well done and I'm impressed by it, especially in comparsion to the Aztec Godzilla vinyl which has way, way less such references.If you want I can also post a list of papers and publications about Xiuhcoatl iconography, I dug some of them up I just need to get rid of the duplicates. 4/4 for now
Thanks for the history lesson, anon. I think I like the Monster Zero colors better than Planet X, but it's a tough call.
>>11748072mondo isn't worth it anymore
>>11748586Odd that they're revealing it in weird mixed stages instead of just "Here's Reptilicus and here's Reptisaurus." Either way, the Reptilicus head looks great.
Finally
New from Titanic Creations, Super Space Gorgo!
>>11749588>>11749589I don't remember that in my Gorgo movie and original canvas poster I have

I guess this is a stand that comes with Reptilicus/Reptisaurus so you can pose him flying.
The Super7 ReAction Figure line has almost completed the entire Showa era and started doing Heisei era figures. I wish they would finish the last few Showa figures before doing any more Heisei stuff.I know the line is overpriced, but I'm happy to have smaller figures and we're getting a full roster

>>11750901If you fall for hiya's scummy practices at this point you only have yourself to blame.
GodziBurst are super fun, I just got the first wave. Very impressive for what they are. The Mothra Larva set is just okay by self, but with TWO sets it becomes loads of fun as you can have the Kamacuras and the Shockirus swarm.
I wound up getting a copy of Final Battle Mechagodzilla, with the main tail tip broken off, it can't switch to the drill tail. So, before I do something stupid, does anyone know if the original Monsterarts Mechagodzilla's tail tip used the same kind of connection or if it was a single piece? Or, how to remove the broken peg from inside the peg hole?
>>11751194>at this pointFemale MUTO was released way way back. There's nothing to "fall for" here unless you just got her recently.
>>11750901This is the first time this had actually made me mad
>>11751273Post a picture of it
>>11751460
>>11751471Might have to get a tiny tiny drill bit and be careful as you set a new hole. A flexible shaft drill would solve your problem real quick, I use mine for everything from model building to house repair.
>>11751273>So, before I do something stupid, does anyone know if the original Monsterarts Mechagodzilla's tail tip used the same kind of connection or if it was a single piece?I have both, and the original is a single piece.
>>11751868That's a groovy stegosaurus .
>>11752245It's a fun figure. He's an absolute shelfhog though.
>>11721250Well it's a month later and probably as part of some scam the aliexpress package failed to ship the KiryuGoji so I got a refund. I've ordered a HIYA Godzilla 2000 version instead.
>>11752620This Hiya KiryuGoji isnt out yet, not even in China
