Kaiju General 2: Tokyo SOS

I missed out last time, so i gotta go for this. Whats the word on them wings?

>>5284796
Is that the new one that's heard to be a shit ton better than the original?

>>5284825
idk about material wise, but it coems with:

-his own stand to put him in a flying mode or to have godzilla lift him by his tails
-KIDS time machine with stand
-blue, red, and yellow beam effects

>>5284796
THIS IS MY JOB

Hey guys KaijuOP here! Thread by me here!
>>5284865

>>5284867
Hey fag! You were late. No thread for you.

>>5284867
Don't be a fucking faggot. You haven't provided a pastebin or any useful information like release dates like the other generals, there is literally no reason for anyone to wait for you specifically to create a thread or leave this perfectly good one for yours which does nothing differently.

>>5284880
But there is none beside statue shit for godzilla

>>5284921
No shit, so why would we need one specific person to make the generals?

>>5284796
Yo, when's the release for this? I missed out on initial KG cuz I was scared of the wings, but now I hear it's improved (?)

>>5285088
January
http://www.shma-articulationseries.com/upcoming-releases.html

I want to get Monsterarts but the latefag tax is too damn high.

>>5285188
You have some good opportunities at the moment:

Godzilla 2000 repaint and kiryu HA are still decently priced (compared to then) right now I think, ghidorahs gonna be out in January.

It depends on who you want really

>>5284880
We used to have a badass OP that made super bulky OPs filled with upcoming release dates for every piece of Godzilla merch, then I think /toy/ either trolled him out or he got annoyed of the constant arguing.

I'm scared, i fear the end of the line is upon us.

>>5285608
It's pretty much "Dead", but it will have a few final releases before Bandai finally kills it off

>Shin Godzilla
>New Gamera

Both are the only I can see besides maybe a repaint somewhere in there.

>>5285608
>Spacegodzilla poster version
>Blown off head Gigan 2004
>Glitterfied Godzilla 1993(the rodan fusion scene)
>Nuclear Pulse Godzilla 2000

Tbh i wouldnt be agaisnt spacegodzilla just cuz hes super expencive and i love him. glitter godzilla might be a cool novelty.

i doubt theyd be cool enough to release a Mechagodzilla 1993 with garuda combo pack

>>5286159
Don't forget Rodan 1993 Normal version. They even had a prototype shown off.

>>5285608
>>5285995
Drama queens. We'll get plenty of releases when there's movies to advertise.

If anyone still interested, also pic not really related just thought it'd be cool to have it on a kaiju thread.

Thinking of getting Birth Godzilla for 5970 Yen(shipped). Best deal I can find as a Canadian.

How is the general QC on this guy? Do I have to worry about getting Derp eyes?

>>5286316
if you want to wait on it, ive heard they are reissueing him in a different hue

>>5286333

Any source?

>>5286333
that was released on October 9th apparently

>>5286268
If Godzilla 2014 is any indication we'll get one Godzilla and a few repaints at best for Godzilla Resurgence.

>>5286386
I doubt it's an indication; toho wanted to play it safe incase Godzilla 14 was another '98. Godzilla '98 had a pretty big push by Toho, with all kinds of merchandise and things. All of which was basically disowned after a couple years.

>>5286405
Then when the hell is Monsterarts MUTO happening? Also Godzilla 2014 actually had a pretty sizable merchandising push here. Nowhere near the extent of 98 but there was a full toyline and a whole lotta the usual merch.

>>5286316
Reissue doesn't have the torso popping off issue.

>>5286412
>>5286351

is it true it has a green hue?

>>5286766
Yeah, a sort of tint

Not sure if this is old to this board, but there's a jap review of the 64 repaint out.

Also the beam effect looks much better, they definitly added some nice blue highlights to it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmTlv6B-uOk

>>5287141
Damn, the beam effect looks much better than the promo photos

>>5285515
or there really arent any releases ever with kaiju stuff anymore.
Just that repaint ghidorah, and that one NECA PR thing.

>>5284796
Pre-ordered mine back in August the instant I saw it existed. I needed Ghidorah bad. Just fleshed out the money for Spacegodzilla as well because I don't trust this company to reprint/release repaints of anything they've made before.

>>5286316

Me again, I have an amiami shipment in November, would it be cheaper to buy him there(5,270) and combine shipping with two other items? Or just get him from another site for 5970 shipped. Both are registered sal.

how do you deal with saggy tails for monsterarts? my 2k special color and 2014 goji are having this issue

>>5287758
For those specific issues, it's something particular to those figures. G2000 and G2014 were made of softer plastic and the tail region had smaller ball joints. So you sacrifice pose for flexibility and joints.

Wait for another anon to confirm this, but I've heard if you leave the figs in a freezer for a certain amount of time the joints will tighten

>>5287758

Anyone see any chance of NECA doing any of the other monsters later on in the future?

>>5293874
not really. they are struggling to get licence approval for the remaining Godzillas they want to do. We'll get more Godzillas from them before anything else. its a shame, monsterarts isnt doing shit and neca would do a good job with the licences

>>5293875

I wish NECA could've gotten the rights to other monsters. I'd love t have a monsterarts Ghidorah but I can shell out $150 plus for shelf decor right now.

is there any word on the next step in NECA's line? im really wanting a 1974/75, kiryugoji and finarugoji (I can dream)

>>5287840
Can anyone confirm if doing the nail polish trick will fix the tail? Also how is the tail on the spitfire version?

>>5295597
cant confirm the nailpolish, but ive seen articles online that say it works

i think spitfire has the tail issues fixed

Was recently in a Jappo merch store and did my usual ritual of buying one random Ultraman kaiju vinyl based entirely on how silly/rad it looked.

Trying to figure out the name of the one I didn't get. It was a big golden fucker with a stub tail that looked like maybe it was supposed to be an electrical socket? Anyone know who it is?

Naw, he looked like he had to be from something very recent. Very detailed and monstrous. Pretty sure he did have more than four legs. In my shitty, bourbon-soaked memory he looked like a cross between Legion and Ghidorah.

>>5296170
Yeah, bummed I didn't break my one-at-a-time rule and get him. The little dude I got is pretty dope. Black bipedal dragon fella. Dunno his name, either. I should probably get around to watching something newer than the original.

>>5296172
part of me really wants to watch ultraman but dont know where to start since there are so many spinoffs

>>5296180
I'm gonna get back into it with Ginga. Most of the designs from it that I've seen are rad as balls.

>>5296192
Probably not the best idea. Despite having some cool designs and a great theme song, Ginga is a not so great show. It's incredibly, painfully low budget and frankly pretty damn boring. That said its sequel series Ultraman Ginga S is a big improvement in both the writing and budget department. You can also give the newest series Ultraman X a try, since it's being simulcast through Crunchyroll.

>>5296180
The best Ultraman series are the original Ultraman and Ultraman Seven. (The sequel to Ultraman)

After that it's whatever, if you're interested in cool monsters, definetly check out Ultraman Taro, and Ultraman 80 is available on crunchyroll. Don't watch any new Ultraman series though, they're pretty much Sentai-level baby shit now. Anything pre-90's is the way to go.

Also if you're really curious, there's a prequel to Ultraman worth checking out called Ultra Q that's essentially a Japanese X-Files equivalent. (No Ultraman, but features monsters of different origins and anomalies)

You should watch Mebius first. It contains a lot of cameo of old Ultramen and they may pique your interest on the old series. And the casts are all likable.

Not really. I tried to collect all the FW sets (Gigan and Rodan being my favourites, got Manda and King Caesar respectively too) but they're almost extinct. I wanted the Anguirus set so bad.

Legendary scales really well with the standalone Destoroyah, but...

Bumping to keep alive.

Assumming Neca has a few more Godzilla versions to make, who would you want for the remainder? My top ones:

FinaruGoji (I just love Bruce Lee godzilla, I always felt banpresto did a better job than x plus at capturing him)

KiryuGoji (literally a must, the only millennium godzilla that hasn't gotten a 6 inch fig)

Godzilla 1974/75(I need jackie chan godzilla)

>>5306774
Still hoping for Zilla.

>>5306776
I remember in an interview saying they put him at lower priority, so sorry about that (maybe eventually toho will extend the rights to multiple monsters, but I think that's more bandai's field of oversight)

>>5306776
Randy said he wouldn't do a Zilla and that the line would have to have done absolutely ever other form of Godzilla before NECA would even consider it.

>>5298071
You can't. The site staff are assholes who abuse connections (see Chris Mirjahanagaigairgigrigr and Michal Shipman working with Bluefin and then Shipman starting his scalping of SHMA knowing when stock is drying up and Mirjahangarballs covering his ass), the mods are, simply put, blabbering idiots with a 3rd grade education who silence anyone who talks about the quality of the site and let people who were permabanned back every other week, and then the user base is pretty dumb, too.

As for the site.... Shit, nigga, it's written by a 12-year old.

Any webstores have good deals on SHMA stuff? I know of one that has a coupon that can be used with any purchase. Any others?

>>5309185
Barnes and Noble has a Black friday 30% off coupon ending today. will take SCV Godzilla 2000 down to about $55 shipped. Code is 30BFRIDAY

>>5309153
To play devil's advocate for a second here, Chris doesn't abuse his connections as much as he shills for them and makes promises he never keeps (Where's the results of the Bandai survey?). Shipman's basically fucked off to parts unknown after the recent Tamashii survey where they revealed SHMA Zero was in the works.

>let people who were permabanned back every other week

That literally happened only once and it was one of the admins who had a crazy religion outburst about "forgiveness for all" and everyone on the site agreed it was a bad idea. He too has fucked off to parts unknown.

I will not disagree with you on the user base being fucking stupid. There are a few knowledgeable people here and there, but it's a distinct minority. The newer mods are also retarded, deleting threads for virtually no reason and ignoring obvious flaming attempts.

But, in the end, it's the best place for Godzilla discussion at the moment and it's better than nothing I suppose.

>>5306774
I really want Zilla. And I think they already confirmed Toho said no, but I'd love a Hannah Barbera Godzilla. Otherwise I think all my favorite Gojis are pretty well covered by NECA and SHMA, but I guess I could go for one of the really goofy looking ones, like 1966.

I doubt it would be covered by the license they've got, but I'd love if they did some mechagodzillas, even if it was one with the fake Godzilla skin beginning to burn off.

>>5309189
Yeah that's the one I was talking about I was hoping for others.

>>5309269

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-005291-S001

Decent price for Birth Zilla.

>>5309189
Absolutely no need for SCV due to already having the superior original but that is awesome to know. Could grab something else I'm missing.

>>5309189
Trying to decide between spitfire zilla or 2000 I have the sdcc clear Cheeto flavored zilla already. Any opinions?

Got my 1964 today! I'm really happy with him... He's so little and cute. My only other SHMA (dessy) completely dwarfs him.

Got him just in time, too. I'm moving out of my apartment tomorrow... I'll take pictures when I'm in my new place.

>>5309255
Toho never said no. Randy just hates him.

>>5309486
Toho is incredibly difficult to work with.

>>5306774
62, GMK, Final Wars,

>>5291571
Its a fucking robot King Kong you dumb ass, who gives a shit what abjective you use to describe it.

>>5306774
Zilla and GMK please. Especially Zilla just for a "different" kaiju

>>5309937
That's literally the name of the monster you goober. That's his name in licensing and what he's called in the fucking movie. Next you're gonna tell me you call MechaGodzilla "ROBOT GODZILLA"

>>5286316
>>5287440
>>5288177

Well he added 800yen to the shipping just by himself, kinda pissed off.

>>5310323
You're "kinda pissed off" over a difference of 100 yen?

>>5309551
This. Not that I couldn't believe Randy would just make up an excuse, but he's usually pretty straightforward about figures he just doesn't want to do and Toho is pretty strict with what they let get produced.

>>5310420
Is there some confusion here? Toho did pass on Hanna-Barbera 'zilla, but Randy specifically snarkily replied before that he'd only do Zilla after every other Godzilla - more or less never.

>>5310660
>snarkily

Oh come off it. Most people don't like the monster, you really can't blame him if he doesn't either. It isn't a guaranteed seller, most people would probably see it and go "oh...it's THAT one" anyway.

So anyone get any good hauls over the weekend? And/or cyber monday

Zilla's an It

In the movie I remember them saying it's hermaphrodeticle (I don't know the word for it, but hermaphrodite like)

>>5310961
I'd buy an adult Zilla Jr. I really loved that cartoon when I was younger. It really did a better job at being an american godzilla than the 1998 film did, and anyone who remembers it would probably agree, at least to some extent.

Hell, I'd probabaly buy a SHMA Zilla is she came with an alternate birthing pelvis and some eggs... I'm a terrible person. :c

>>5310935
Mecha G/Spitfire and SpaceG just came in, found them super cheap too. Mailmonkey almost trashed the box of my SpaceG and came with his right arm detached but luckily was able to fix it.

Okay, so Two Questions....

Does anyone fucking know if there will be a new (Non American) Godzilla Movie? Final Wars was great, but it's been years...

Also When's the release date for OP's King Ghidorah fig??

>>5311081
>real feel jiggling MUTO belly never

>>5311343
Shin Godzilla/Godzilla Resurgence in 2016.

December; Bluefin will probably have it in January.

>>5311374
Thanks!

>>5294292
I hope they do some day. I could see them doing a lot of the lesser monsters SH will never do.

As a side note tho I was able to find an original release ghidorah for 75$ shipped, but I had to assemble it myself. You might be able to find something like that. Mine was probably assembled from spare parts smuggled out in a workers shirt or something, but honestly having assembled him myself almost makes him more fun to have. So if you can put up with him arriving in parts in a shoebox there might be an option out there. I'll see if I can find where I bought it from.

>>5311390
I'm not sure if they're still up, but Ebay also has (mostly) assembled loose Ghidorahs for around$130-180 shipped. I got mine in February like that. Head, tails, and neck are unattached. First time I attached the wings, it came loose and fell off, breaking a tip, but the seller replaced it. It seems fine otherwise, some minor paint scuffs and stiff joints, but otherwise good. I don't touch the wings much, though; which is a shame because they seem well articulated in theory.

>>5311402
>http://www.shma-articulationseries.com/upcoming-releases.html
That's still a lot of money... I'd love a NECA quality figure for NECA prices...25 bucks max

>>5311412
Otachi is probably the closest thing to what a NECA KG could be and its still like $60.

>>5311412
just buy a vinyl off of ebay if SHMAs are too rich for your blood.

NECA would give KG rubber bendy necks, so just be happy that they haven't made him.

>>5310723
"Come off" what? I'm not exactly a Zilla fan of any kind. I specified about the snark because the first time I ever brought it up in a kaiju general, other people missed the fact that his comment was derogatory and thought "oh, we might get it eventually!" Don't jump so hard to conclusions, could fuck up your knees that way.

Damn, finally got a Garuda and it's taking a while to get through customs. Cmon I've been waiting forever!

>>5313398

Well, a good price for Garuda I mean

It's a fun concept, but it wouldn't really work out as a single figure. Monser X has almost no visual similarities to Keiser Ghidorah, so you'd either end up sacrificing something and ending up with a clearly half-assed Ghidorah mode, or you'd end up having made two completely separate figures.

I'd suggest keeping your day job. It's a good idea, but not one that could work in practice.

hes gonna make the best new Star Wars movie.

how do i know that? Donnie Yen is in it and so is the writer of the klumps

checkmate athiests

>>5320789
he also did a movie before Godzilla called Monsters. It took place in a world where giant jellyfish alien monsters took over a large portion of america, that has been since barricaded off from civilization
The movie is about 2 strangers who, through a series of unfortunate events, are forced to cross the infested part of America alone.
The movie was really about the developing relationship between the two, the monster thing was just a setting, and it was written amazingly. After I saw this movie I was like "Oh nice! This guy really knows how to write human characters, I'm excited to see how he handles the human story in godzilla"

Then we got a human story focusing on the most bland blank slate of a character I've seen in a long time. Did not see that coming at all..

>>5320798
Wasnt his Script, that was max Borenstien derived from a story by Dave callahan with some help by drew peirce and frank darabont

if they didnt make cranston such a big deal in the first part (dont really see the big deal with him, malcolm in the middle was cool and all i guess) and focused on the kid it wouldve been better

>>5320820
>dont really see the big deal with him, malcolm in the middle was cool and all i guess

Anon there's a little show called Breaking Bad that starred him, maybe you should probably give it a watch.

>>5320847
I know it exists, but i guess i dont really buy into actor hype for a movie. unless like Jackie Chan was playing Joe then maybe i wouldve been disapointed in his death or screentime

>>5320820
>and focused on the kid
it absolutely would not have. Malcom in the Middle dad's kid was the worst part about that movie. He was the problem. Super dull.

>>5320820
>if they didnt make cranston such a big deal in the first part (dont really see the big deal with him, malcolm in the middle was cool and all i guess) and focused on the kid it wouldve been better

I honestly think the opposite, his character was the only one to feel like they had emotion. The kid felt flat and emotionless whereas the dad had a real drive to find out about goji.

I honestly really like G14. It was the most classic Godzilla feeling movie I'd seen.

>>5322189
I loved a lot and I've watched the original Godzilla since as far back as I can remember. And unloved it a lot more when I realized the humans in the movie literally don't matter. Nothing they do is effective at all and really only serves to make things worse. Which I feel like is very much in the spirit of the old movies, with throwaway scientists and people that don't matter; the only one that matters is Godzilla.

You're probably not going to enjoy most Godzilla movies if you can't enjoy the human element. It's something you got to appreciate when you're watching the movies..and in time you start coming around to liking certain characters or recurring actors.

>>5322354
I do like the movies, I like basically all of them and have seen them all. But the people don't accomplish anything. Its like, the people aren't the point and people like to shut on G14 because of the useless main characters when it's perfectly in line with every other Godzilla movie.

>>5322349
>people in series don't matter

No disrespect, but a lot of the times they really impact the story and cause a lot of the events on the movie:

Serizawa in 1954
Godzilla vs The Sea Monster's castaway cast who wake him up and drive the plot
Katsura in Terror of MG
Miki in biollante, MG2, and SpaceGodzilla
Akane along with most of the rest of the cast in Godzilla x Mechagodzilla

I could name a bunch more, but the people do matter and create events, situations, and feelings that matter to the movie. If a godzilla movie was all monsters fighting and no side human plot to run along side it, it would be entertaining for like 10 minutes but it wouldn't have much to care for. A godzilla movie needs a human element to create emotional connections in its own right. Sure sometimes one has to make up for the other, in Deatroyah the kaiju plot was pretty much playing double duty to make up for the particularly weak human plot (whenever it wasn't Aso or Kuroki), but we need t to create emotional content

Who's excited for Mutavore? Otachi was pretty good.

I have given up on Neca Pacific Rim figures to be honest. I'm about to sell the whole lot of them.

>>5324178
Give me your Cherno.

>>5324178
If it hasn't been for Otachi and the upcoming releases I would probably be right there with you. This big slow down from Bandai has caused a big kaiju toy hole in my life. So at least Neca is finally putting an honest effort into their recent giant monster/robot toys.

>>5323788
I'm more excited for Hardship since his paint is cooler but I'm also hyped for Mutavore. He's pretty fucking weird looking

>>5322455
I actually really want a Serizawa figure.

>>5324625
Yeah Hardship does look good. What the Leatherback figure could have been.

>>5320798
well it doesn't help that kick ass can't act for shit. They better bring back bryan cranston's character. I don't care how cliche the "i wasn't really dead" thing is

>>5324628

Sculpt an eyepatch onto figma Okabe. I don't have the picture, but I've seen it done before and I thought it was a pretty good attempt. Probably your best bet for a Serizawa figure without making one entirely from scratch.

I don't think I like the design THAT much. It's fine, it'll work. It's good that they're doing something new, like all Godzilla movies. But definitely not one of my favorites by any stretch.

That may change when I see it in motion, who knows. Too many teeth though. Well, in such a weird "nightmare" fashion I guess. I was fine with double rows of teeth on Godzilla.

Look at those fucking Angler fish beady eyes and those... fucked up angler fish teeth. I fucking hate angler fish. I hate anything that comes from the ocean really. Everything from real life atleast.

Ugly design, and not really in a good way.


The teeth don't look functional at all, nothing has teeth like that besides deep-sea fish, and that's just because they need to blindly hook a meal in the shittiest conditions possible.

They're super scary stiff at first. But once you move them (carefully) they do feel more sturdy by far.

Well, yeah, he isn't really meant to use them for eating. Also, you gotta remember he's a radiated mutant freak of nature that rises from the deep. You ever seen people suffering from radiation defects? That shit is fucked up. His teeth is probably the result of crazy bone cancer shit.

Those are laid out in a way that makes sense to hook passing fish. Godzilla's are straight up and down as if he is supposed to chew with those things.

Also:

> "Sharks with needle-like teeth commonly feed on small to medium fish and or other small sharks. Their teeth are especially effective for their prey because they can easily grip their slippery and narrow meals. Some examples are the blue shark and bull sharks. These sharks specifically use their teeth to feed on small prey like squid, flounder, stingrays, and even hammerhead sharks.[4]"

The Monsterarts line has all of them poseable, but Gigan is in his Final Wars form. If you want classic Gigan, the Revoltech is your best bet.

Yes, it was auto correct

So ghidorah does have posable tail, legs, neck at least?

Well it's unusual to have such terrible taste.
Actually you're feelings are totally valid even though I disagree with them!

>>5358055
I want to talk about Godzilla movies but /tv/ has their head up their ass about star wars

>>5358056
the figure looks badass
I just associate it with the movie, which imo is the worst one

I don't know how I'd fare having it without a proper figure to pair with it

>>5358077
Okay, it's cool to not dig on 2000, but the worst one?!
I mean, c'mon, Godzilla's Revenge still exists.

>>5358081
Alright, you got me
I was told to stay far away from revenge so I did

Someone recommended 2000 and I bought it first and watched it

How can destroy all monsters be so old and be so good?

I literally just finished Millenium. It has flaws, character motivations and the way they act doesn't make sense some times, and the one actual fight it had wasn't that interesting, but it's still far from the worst Godzilla movie.
It's average. Alien monster that looks like it's from Metal Slug, and the proper alien monster had cool designs.

Watched it on TV, I have no idea.

There is a torrent floating around with every goji movie as well as a bunch of other movie monsters in it. It's like the Monster Madness pack or something. I believe it has the english dub with it, though.

>>5357992
Holy shit, that Gigan is nice.

...they hug it out like champs.

>>5358224
Oh, then just buy the fucking dvd from amazon then!

>>5358260
I think it's over 100 dollars
Apparently it's rare

>>5358101
Yeah, the manga of 2000 was way better (like the destroyah and Mothra 92 books as well), they actually went into detail about Io's mother and played more with the idea of the aliens. I also like the fact that when you think about it, Katagiri really did nothing wrong in the movie

>>5358224
I remember back when godzilla vs MG 74 was such a common movie, I said "meh, I have the VHS dub, I don't need the DVD. It'll always be available"

I'm okay though, probably because the 70s and some 60s dubs are the only godzilla dubs I can stand

>>5358260
>>5358274
Is there a cheaper option?

Fuck, I guess I'll pirate it

>On my wishlist is the ultraact/figuarts of the manga ultraman

>"Oh shit! I hope I don't get that Ultraact then... It's not like mom has ever gotten me any figures since I was a kid"
>Christmas morning
>I got the Manga Ultraman figure
>The one time she gets it right is when I end up not wanting it in the end

I sound bitter with that greentext story, but I'm not. I love it and I love my mom. She's the best mom, and I'm thankful for all she does for me.

It's really a shame one of the best seminal godzilla films can't be easily accessible on DVD. The closest there is for normies is the iTunes Store

>>5358370
You know, early this year they were putting a lot of the movies on blu ray

I had my fingers crossed for all of them but they ended up doing all the 90s and up and completely left out the rest

Kind of disappointed

>>5358380
The sad thing is, I managed to get an upload of godzilla vs king Ghidorah from metacafe (the JPN cut) and that's actually more intact than what sony put out. Has all the proper credits and everything. And the quality difference isn't even that big.

It's nice especially for mg2, Spacegodzilla, destroyah, and 2000 because the print and version differences are worth it, and it's nice if kraken to release the 3 Showa movies, but yeah MG74 idk what's happening there

There's youtube videos where it shows stop motion animation of the figures with a nice close up of them, at least for Destroyah and Ghidorah. You looking for MechaG 2 or Kiryu MechaG?

Do they still SH monsterarts Mechagodzilla type 3 and Destroyah

>>5358996
how do they get the animation so smooth like that?! it looks like real motion

>>5358996
I'm sold, that is amazing work

If I get all 3 of them I'd be content for awhile

So since new Ghido is out in Japan, did anyone stumble upon some new photos from our anime friends?
