Thank Goji for someone like Steven
Figured I ask here first, anyone know where I can dl Godzilla vs Biollante? Like a mega or something?
>>6059224
Dude is a textbook company fanboy. I suspect people like him don't even understand the fundamentals of paintwork, since so many of them keep confusing the red for paint and not understanding it's the plastic underneath.
Also he's a disgusting fag with a nose-ring.
>tfw we'll never get a Raiju figure
>>6059224
>outside the box reviews
Damn, I used to kinda like him
2channers are goint to town with shingee. Customs and modding can save this dissapointing release
>>6059417
Yeah, but not for the general consumers.

Decent sale on shma if you are a leaf. Kinda tempted to get moguera, but I dunno.
>>6057563
No. It definitely has a crazy plastic smell, though, but it's not the figure. It's the clear plastic shell. Fucking super strong odor.
>>6057734
I have a potato camera and everything looks like shit anyway. I'm not shilling the figure but mine looks way better than others I'm seeing. I got lucky with G14, too. Teeth and eyes were fine.
So many Japanese on twitter are asking either for exchanges from Bandai or modding it themselves. What a fucking mess.
>>6059275
i feel you man, Raiju would have been awesome. I know there was less chance of Karloff getting made, but dammit I love his design.
>>6059417
What sucks is that yeah we can mod it but with the price that it is, we shouldn't need to.
>>6059417
I can totally repaint mine, but that's way too much effort for a figure like this.
Way too time consuming.
>>6059109
Now to see them keep up this trend of fucking up the latest Godzilla designs with the anime version.

backshot for those interested
>>6060747
Eh at least it's not Mechagodzilla 2
>>6060719
I know that this was designed by the artist for MGS but it does not look like it belongs in Evangelion . Looks like Metal Gear Ray .
>>6060863
I just need something that looks formidable to fight my [spoiler]Bonkles[/spoiler]

Anyone own this guy / know where I can find one.
Bought him for $47.99, I do good?
WHAAAAT?! SHMA 2016 is FRESH!!!!!!
Buy SHMA, FRESH SHMA!!
Imagine being on this level.
I wonder how much that girl was paid to take that picture
>>6061714
That's the gf/wife of the Taiwanese beefcake Godzilla collector who runs the Taiwan collectors group.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHzEhSVgbec
His collection is so revered that people will visit that house for a scheduled tour he host on the Taiwanese facebook group.
>>6061704
I wonder if he'd give up his whole collection, just to grow an extra couple inches taller.
>>6061472
Nigga you did awwwright. Your first Ultraman fig?
>>6061839
No, but it's my first Baltan ever. I missed out on the Ultra-Act version.

>>6061065
I dont think it was ever released
>>6061848
Ah, cool. You'll like him. feel kina burned you spent $50 on something that relatively simplistic with no accessories, but he's better than the UA in some aspects.
>>6061902
>I dont think
Then shut up.
>>6061065
Good luck. It goes for at or over $150 whenever it's up on secondhand sights. Everyone who I've spoken with who has it said it's okay at best.
>>6061705
Does the waifu come with being on that level?

Poster-Mecha looks like '74 Mecha had a mid-life crisis & spent all it's money on flashy upgrades. If the figure actually transform: I'll consider buying one
>>6061958
Well when it comes to Kamata-kun, they won't fuck him up due to his fanbase.
>>6061873

>>6061873
Now I just hope we gonna get the 75 Godzilla to go with MG.
>>6061870
Showa looks shorter than the others.
SIZE COMPATIBILITY WITH MOSUGOJI CONFIRMED!
>>6062172
More like because his color palette is simple enough for their shitty sweatshop painters.
I don't know about the rest you of you, but I need me a cuddly Kamata-Kun

question about the new movie .... was I supposed to make up a reason why godzilla kept going to central Tokyo? Just wondering since I dont know if i missed something
>>6062544
Yes, he was going beyond Tokyo but we never find out where because they stopped him there
>>6062422
What? Looks the same height to me. I want it to be in size with the showa ones though
>>6062650
As of right now? No not yet...maybe never.
>>6062518
Definitely interested, but I gotta wonder how much the shipping will be on these boys.
Is grape ape a kaiju?
>>6061870
>>6061873
>>6060719
WHAT IS THIS
>>6061902
It was. It has some very boring box art.
>Take a close look at the weird mongolian barbecue texture of Shin Goji's back area
>Finally realize it's so red because the flesh is being stretched and torn apart by the rapid mutation of his dorsal fins, revealing the raw, bloody musculature underneath
>It lights up when he uses the atomic breath because it's been stretched so thin
I don't care how late I am, this disgusting bastard is the design that keeps on giving.
>>6062422
Nah. He's the the same size as the others. Tamashii finally found out it was stupid to make showas that small and abandoned that dumb idea
>>6061876
The only thing I care about here is showa mechagodzilla
when do we get this beautiful boy?
>>6058522
Didnt mind the deco, but after seeing the japanese pics i touched up mine, took about 10 minutes. also repainted the right eye to be more symmetrical (felt like brain surgery)
>>6063280
>>6063282
>>6061882
Did they repaint him?
He looks more accurate to the film here.
>>6063284
Holy shit is that ultimate gypsy danger? Did you mod it or is it that articulated out the box?
>Showa Mecha G and MG 2 poster version.
>Shin Goji's other 2 forms.
Things are looking slightly up.
>>6063620
Famous last words.
>>6063282
>It's Godzilla!
>AND HE'S GOT A GUN!
>>6063488
Not that anon, but I can confirm she IS that articulated out of the box.
Only thing is she can't look up like that, so I'm guessing they basically popped the head off the balljoint and set it on there. Or maybe mine needs to be messed with to loosen her up like it was with Cherno's torso joint.
>>6063284
Dumb question, but what effect part is that? I keep seeing it everywhere.
>>6063991
Looks like the clear version of this effect piece
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-DOL-7264
Could be wrong though.
>>6061871
lol anon, that IS the SHMA. The guy just primed it to repaint it and took comparison shots next to the official maquete which had a similar color.
All the detail is there, it's just buried under a really shitty paintjob.
>>6060861
The fuck is wrong with Mechagodzilla 2?
I like it's design better than the other two (Showa, Kiryu).
>>6064214
Dude, thanks a ton for the info.
>>6064242
Dull facial expression, suffers the most from the Heisei syndrome of bigger/chunkier design = immobility (not as bad as destroyah though), and he just looks rather plain especially compared to his older and younger brother and his concept.
Honestly only thing I like about him are his weapon sound effects and the idea that he can combine with garuda
Hey are the wings really that fragile? I'm not gonna play with it roughly obviously but some people are making it sound like the wings snap off if you look at them funny
>>6064324
The special colours release doesn't have that problem
>>6064326
Oh cool, that's good to know, I'm suspicious of Bandai now after seeing how Shin Godzilla is falling apart on people
>>6063280
What paint did you use for black and red, anon? I want to repaint mine when it arrives.
>>6063778
Can the SHMA do this though?
>>6064242
MechaGodzilla Heisei is a glorified tank, it doesn't have the personality of '74/'75 and Kiryu.
>>6064440
Funnily enough, I think Kawakita did a much better job on the robot that WAS an actual glorified tank
>>6064242
I love the movie itself but the actual robot is pretty goofy looking compared to the original and like others said it's a Godzilla-shaped tank in the end.
I guess it makes sense since it was a big tank since it was made by a military committee and shit
>>6064480
That is so ass lmao, better off not even bothering with that sword.
shma should legit start including hand-bends, there is literally nothing wrong with them.
>>6064514
Sorry kinda came off as a dick there, appreciate the photo.
>>6064320
>>6064440
>>6064501
>Dull facial expression
>MechaGodzilla Heisei is a glorified tank
>it was a big tank since it was made by a military committee and shit
Exactly why he's my favorite. He's just a Godzilla robot created by the military to fight Godzilla. It doesn't need to look flashy or anything. The "Mechagodzilla" name fits him the most in fact.
None of that "actually made by evil aliens" or "actually controlled by a fucking ghost" bullshit with him.
>>6064537
Meh, you're boring.
It doesn't even really do anything interesting in it's own film, Moguera came out more interesting.
>>6064405
Isn't about if Godzilla can hold guns or swords it's about the likeness. And it isn't there. And it can be argued that the SHMA didn't get it either.
>>6064543
It's about having fun with toys.
If you want to be autistic about the likeness, buy an Xplus.
>>6064546
THIS
>>6064537
I find his face has personality, honestly.
The SHMA is a pretty fun toy.
>>6064542
It killed Rodan and nearly killed Godzilla.
Just looked really goofy and non-threatening, if it looked like the poster I think it would be more well regarded.
>>6064554
Kiryu is the only cool mechazilla design.
>>6064557
Why do Millennicucks constantly prove they are garbage?
>>6064570
Doesn't even look like a robot.
>>6064577
>Doesn't even look like a robot.
God this thread has some retarded opinions
>>6064577
millennium fags are not only underage but retarded too it seems
>>6064570
>millennicucks
So we just start making meme shit words outta the blue?
Anyway, kiryu and mg1 actually had designs that felt like they had style. Mechagodzilla 1 a very aggressive and menacing look, and kiryu had a rather heroic design that still had that menace to it (probably a visual nod to the fact that he still had the spirit of 54 in him, from a design point of view)
Mechagodzilla 2 just looks so basic. Even the argument that he's "more practical" than the other 2 falls flat because he has things like non-missile fingers and awkward mobility. Of he was actually a "tank", he'd have projectiles and actual enhancements all over, like the poster.
I find it rather disapointing that Kawakita, who had such a knack for making cool tank and mecha shit was forced to tone down his design for that.
Also I'll never get over the fact that his waist section looks like a goat diaper
>>6064598
>goat
I meant giant but you get the idea
I also hate the fact that the suit was built to look like his knees were giant ball joints but it moves an entire top section with it, destroying the effect
>>6064546
>Having fun
Is wanting your toys to look accurate to the source material too much to ask for?
>>6064605
If you like shin godzilla apparently it is
>>6064609
Man, what a mess that was.
>>6064542
>Meh, you're boring.
Maybe, but I myself just think it's because I've seen so many over-the-top designs over the years that I'm tired of seeing them. I just prefer simple designs with clear purposes.
Not that Kiryu or Showa Mechagodzilla look bad. They both have their charms and I still like them for what they are.
>>6064553
Too bad I can't get one right now without spending over a hundred bucks.
>>6064615
I'm just so baffled as to how tamashii fucked this up
They had the cgi model to work with, unlike 2014 this was a domestic film so I imagine it would be easier for them to have access to the resources and knowledge needed to make it work.
And to add to that, they fucked the paint so hard toa just embarrassing. When little godzilla, godzilla jr, and THE FUCKING DORATS have better paint than what was supposed to be the crown jewel of the line in 2016, there is something seriously wrong with who ever is running the show up there.
I mean for fucks sake, a monster that only appeared on a poster looks better than shin, the fucking second form that appeared for such a short time looks better.
I'm starting to think America never got it because they knew how shit it was and figured it would bomb hard, no matter how hard reviewers shilled it
>>6064577
The original MechaGodzilla honestly has the most "mechanical" design, you can see intricacies in the suit that don't really exist in other MechaGodzillas (opting for a more sleek suit) such as that neck vent. This is fitting considering that was the Mazinger era, and designers in fields such as anime spent so much attention to every little feature or detail, which would progress to the early '80s with works such as Patlabor, Gunbuster, Macross etc.
OG Mecha wasn't simply a metal Godzilla, it was incredibly "lively," hands would continuously move, it's helmet was a spinning forcefield (that would eventually reveal a core in the sequel!) and compartments of the body would occasionally open, with the actor emulating mechanical movement despite being very mobile. The work that actually went into MechaGodzilla was incredible, and you could see the effects team was proud of it.
Kiryu has some moments of brilliance similar to that, but it's mostly just a wash of silver plates and black under-cables. But '74-75 had the perfect mix of mechanical attention and animated choreography.
>>6064623
I saw reviews were the paint was STILL WET and the Reviewer was like "I Iike that, It gives it that nasty look that ShinG had" They shilled so hard.
>>6064642
Shin really showed us about what a lot of reviews were really about. I can't believed so many of them actually could look at this shit storm and say "oh it's good. You guys should all buy this" like it was just a fucking one time thing that wasn't with every model. I wouldn't be surprised if people bought it, realized how shit it was and dropped them.
I can only think of one american reviewer thus far who called it shit like it deserved. A friend of mine was gonna review it and said he was immediatly putting it up on eBay as soon as he was done and sticking with his banpresto
All I know is tamashii better pick somehting good for their next "non-mecha/organic" kaiju from godziller, and actually not fuck it up, because shin g was such an inexcusable collossal fail.
Call me a neca shill all you fucking want, but their mold looks a fuck ton better than what monsterarts put out. Even if they give it that shine wash, they just have to not fuck up on paint bleed and the neck and it'll be a fuckton better than monsterarts.
Tamashii needs to make an actual good version of like an Angurius or a Godzilla 62 if they want to win people back
>>6064653
> bending a godzilla figure all the way forward is ugly
I thought that was obvious. Does the shma not a have a huge gap in the dorsal in the same pose?
>>6064668
And just to specify, I meant NECA's updated 2016 mold. Also they need to make sure it doesn't fall apart like shma's shin g. Tamashii may make superior tail articulation, but that means jack shit when shin g is such a mess
>>6064609
Truly this is a confusing hell for me.
On the one hand the SHMA has great proportions and detail-wise nails the look of the design, but it's a fucking QC disaster with sloppy and sometimes non-existent paint apps, and is currently a bitch and a half to get for a fair price considering what you get. On the other hand NECA is affordable and will probably be consistent but has weirdly normal proportions, with a tail that's just not quite long enough and a body that's too THICC where it should be emaciated. Kinda nerfing Shin's freakish disproportional look that draws me to it in the first place. Also NECA's Godzilla figures always tend to dull down the skin texture and don't tend to handle color washes that well for me.
At this point I'd just say fuck it go for the vinyl. Y'know if those fuckers weren't stupidly overpriced now too.
>>6064636
I think AVGN said it best. OG MechaGoji was sinister looking, but didn't look very realistic. Heisei MechaGoji looked more realistic but also derpy. Kiryu is a happy medium between the two.
>>6064676
>At this point I'd just say fuck it go for the vinyl. Y'know if those fuckers weren't stupidly overpriced now too.
What pisses me off is that venders are selling the 12 inch kiryu and godzilla 04 for like 70-90 dollars, but those fuckwrs were bandai creation stuff I got for like under 20 at toysrus back in 2012.
It really saddens me to think some poor dude is gonna buy those thinkng it's actually worth that shit just cuz it says Japanese writing on it
>>6064672
They do but they are sculpted so that the body looks okay. The body for that one just looks so off.
>>6064672
They have gaps but they're SIGNIFICANTLY smaller. Not to mentio the back, neck, and legs all have multiple articulation points to help the bend look natural.
>>6064676
I was gonna do that too. I wanted the damn Banpresto one but holy fuck the prices.
>>6064714
You're kinda an autist my man
God have mercy
>>6064762
Bruh look at this doode
>>6064762
GODDAMN THAT PAINT JOB IS FUCKING HORRENDOUS

HOW COULD THEY LET THIS SHIP JESUS CHRIIIIIIIIST
>>6064973

>>6064605
>that Goji-Maki cosplay
I'm in love.
>>6064973
Honestly, I'm baffled too. Regardless of what's anyone's opinion on the design, it's a big movie that's done and doing well too, even getting another screening just barely a few months since its release... Not getting their shit together on this release is a really dumb move.
I actually really want a good toy of Shin G but at this point, I might just end up buying statueshit.
>>6064231
FUCK ME lol, is any of them putting out tutorials how to fix the paint on the figure? Honestly, I want a good figure of this so bad but while I have the cash, I really am not willing to pay for something that is actually shitty.
If there's a tutorial for fixing the paint... then I'll reconsider.
>>6065109
>making purchase dependant on 3rd party repaint tutorial
kek
>>6065132
well... the paintjob on the actual figure is ranging from inconsistent to poor... so... yeah. It's a lot more feasible for me to fix the paint than sculpt an actual articulated figure on my own so kek all you want anon. kek kek kek.
>>6064762
>he actually stuck his face in the fryer, the absolute madman!
>>6064537
This is the most iconic MechaG for me having been born in 87. The only Showa monsters I knew at the time were the sea monster, Megalon, and Gigan from the VHS tapes I had but this MechaG was used in all the promo material for games etc. that I came across. After finally seeing the film he was in, yeah he's not the most exciting onscreen but he's still great in that he's basically a gigantic tank created purely to destroy giant monsters and even serves as a giant visual "fuck you" to Godzilla since it was created in his image. Fucker doesn't even need to be able to dish out close combat techniques like the regular Godzilla, can just fuck him up at a distance.
>>6065137
Fix your paintjob and don't be a bitch waiting for others telling you how to. I'm making fun out of you, not the figure quality bitch
>>6065006
Yeah being upset about your extremely expensive figure having universal criticism for being flat out garbage must make that anon 12
>>6065576
Lol this guy is mondo bad ass for suuuuure
should i?
>>6065736
No.
>>6065736
It really isn't worth it
Wait for the inevitable spitfire re release
>>6065736
Fuck no, just wait for the re-release. It comes in a 'slightly new but still similar to the average shmuck' paint job. Two years, tops
>>6062820
It's Yoji Shinkawa's take on an Anti-Godzilla weapon developed by NERV,
>>6065870
Is NERV the villain that makes the mecha in the Metal Gear Solid games? Because it looks fuck all like anything from NGE.
>>6065941
It has the NERV logo on the shoulder, that's Eva enough.
>>6065870
Why wouldn't NERV just use Evas to fight Goji? It ain't like their too small for the job.
>>6065736
Just wait for the next Godzilla film for his final form.
>>6065968
>Why wouldn't NERV just use Evas to fight Goji? It ain't like their too small for the job.
Clearly that IS the Godzilla-verse NERV's version of the Eva, do you know nothing about either franchise?
>>6065941
Long story short, NERV is the organization that makes the EVAs (giant robots) in the Evangelion series. Yoji makes designs for the MGS, so this is a three way crossover concept piece
>>6066067
So, it's a version of NERV that's just there to fight godzilla? Why would NERV even exist in a world without a second impact and without Adam? And if they could clone Goji, then the king of beasts doesn't amount to such a big deal to begin with.
>>6066246
>Overthinking a crossover that exists just to sell fanservice and merch like this
>>6066246
>Why would NERV even exist in a world without a second impact and without Adam?
BECAUSE GOJI IS ADAM!!!

>NECA not doing Skull Island
...w-will bandai atleast do a SHMA?
I will cry if SOMONE doesn't do a new kong.
Not really, but I'll be pretty bummed.
Also would LOVE a well articulated 1933 Kong.
>>6066083
I know what NERV is, my point is that the design seems to leave out the NERV and NGE aspect entirely. It's a pure Yoji Shinkawa MechaG with a NERV logo slapped on as an afterthought for marketing purposes.
>>6065870
I love Shinkawa but I really think they should have gone with Ikuto Yamashita for this... Too bad Shinkawa's name is just trendier. At the same time, I feel like ppl who buy this kind of toys know who Ikuto Yamashita is.
>>6065736
I'm with the other anons, I just got my paycheck and had a few k excess to spend, almost pressed the button, looked at my SHF... and went NAAAAH these fuckers will re-release it with a better paintjob sometime.

Christ. I can't believe how hard some of you are shilling for Shin Goji. I mean come on, the paint is just bad. Period. Universally shat on. But here you people are, getting so goddamn angry at someone who tells it like it is. You can't possibly let someone bad talk your precious Bandai. It just baffles me how you could possibly think the paint is fine, among all the other falling apart issues.

I know thats how he is in the movie, but when you see it on a toy it just looks even more retarded.
>>6067598
This has extreme implications of a possible personality disorder. It's not bad that he's a manlet, has a pierced ear, or that he's a disgusting wop. It's the fact that he PAID a company to make a figure of himself. It wasn't even gifted to him as a funny gag gift. He got it made, for HIMSELF.
I swear, a good 90% of kaiju fans have mental disorders.
Which one /toy/?
I pick Patterson
>>6067598
those fucking disgusting plastic shelves
>>6067327
Please no.
>>6068414
The ugly one
>>6068414
Patterson is the obvious choice, but Hiromi Ogashira is the only one who would appreciate /toy/'s hobby
>>6065870
Looks like an advanced metal gear ray
>>6067601
He truly is as a g fan but toy shits on him
>>6068551
Other than the fact that he likes statues, what is there?
>>6068538
Money=/= G Fan
The fucker sells shirts of his face to his "fans", which consists of children, manlets, and old men who are complete losers in life.
>>6068554
Have you met the dude? He's an elitist in a dying hobby. The only reputable companies making new Godzilla figures are X Plus and SHMA. Toygraph, M1, Marusan, Marmit, Bullmark, CCP, etc have all gone out of business or are rehashing old sculpts. The only figures we're getting out of Godzilla 2 is X Plus, SHMA, and shitty Bandai of America toys.
>>6068612
That just means he loves the hobby. I'm not particularly one way or another about him, but I can't knock him for something like that.
>>6068613
>loves the hobby
>has a legion of neckbeards wearing his shirt
>has a figure of himself
>makes artists draw him
>is 5'2"
Yeah, I'm sure he loves the hobby and not trying to make up for his shortcomings. Doesn't take a PhD in Psychology to see what a deeply flawed individual he is.
>>6068619
Like I said, I can't hate him. There are far worse people in the toy community than him.
>>6068621
Go to bed, Eso. If you don't get enough sleep, you won't grow into a big boy.
>>6068623
>Not hating someone = being them
Kaiju general truly became a bulletpoint list of things to smear shit on one after another
>>6068414
The one who reminds me of my autistic girlfriend.
Am I cool now?
>>6068697
Well, the Facebook groups are like that and so is Toho Kingdom. Would you expect anything differently from the Kaiju fandom?
>>6068414
...Why not both?
>>6068612
I know you have an (slightly) understandable hateboner for the guy, but Eso isn't really an elitist at all, the only time he's ever crossed that road is in retaliation when people insult his or other brands/collections, hence where the "you hate it cause you can't afford it" meme comes from.
As a whole he genuinely tries to help other fans in any possible capacity, I've messaged him personally for sale prices, and at some point he contacted me personally when there was a certain X-Plus figure up for grabs that I was looking for. It actually boggles my mind that somebody would call him an elitist when he doesn't exactly look down or make fun of other fans for the most part, and is more often than not inviting, especially in a hobby where you have cancers like Russo who are always on a high horse about where younger consumers/fans stand in the community, and Cordaro who not only takes pride in his unreasonable vendor prices, but struts his knowledge of vintage toys like a trophy, while calling out any non-active posters in his collector group. Or that a certain producer for the Ifukube 100 concert that basically bullied a long-time collector and Matt Frank out of a group for their opinions on a western Godzilla movie...
Eso himself has openly admitted he doesn't know too much about the merchandise industry and has a lot to earn. For as stupid as the youtube community is, a good fraction of which are children, he's pretty reasonable with them as well.
>>6068831
You named 3 people who are in the so-called 'goon squad', yet Eso is clean from all that? Come on, bro. Quit sucking up to Eso so you can get the 2017 G-Fest exclusive.
>>6068831
Russo, Cordaro, DeSentis, and Matt Frank just all happen to be liberal faggots which might indicate why theyre so hostile to people
>>6068858
Not all Muslims are bad.
>>6068817
sauce?
>>6060964
>tumblr in the filename
Fact: Eso's a closet elitist masquerading as a swell guy.
>>6068403
Is his neck 90% tumor?
So Toho Kingdom thinks Anno actually trolled them
>>6069057
Was this about the leaked script a user apparantly posted that had Godzilla splitting his back open and having to fight a big angel monster before both of them get nuked to death?
>>6068922
Yeah... yeah I can see that.
He used to say elitist shit.
He used to scoff at the idea of NECA figures and said they were specifically made for children not so long ago, and then all of a sudden he's shilling them so...
>>6068778
Now do it with the Monsterart.
>>6069094
He's an elitist, coming from someone in his inner circle. He's too fucking stupid to know who I am.
Don't introduce yourself to him, he'll just laugh at you with the rest of his buddies when they drink at G Fest. It really makes things awkward, I think I'll skip hanging around the goon squad this year.
Y'all missed this cringe worthy moment. Thought I'd share with y'all.
https://youtu.be/01k1rKcN5Y4
I need to buy every X-plus figure just to have it, to fill the gaping void in my soul. Perhaps Fresh Vinyl will show me the way.
>>6069126
Lol he's so tiny.
Btw, this looks like the prelude to some really gay shit.
Then I will make "reviews" with a rubber chicken, wherein I don't actually review anything, I just bask in the glory of having another thing. I love things, all the things. Shelves of things.
WAS DEWIN YEWS GUYS?!
I heard you was hating on Mr. Fresh Vinyl! NOT FRESH!!
I'm sick of you bozos talking shit about me. YOU WORK HARD, YOU PLAY HARD!!
Now excuse me while I count my figures again.
FRESH
"Wrasslin" with other sweaty man-children in a crowded hotel room is possibly the gayest thing I have ever seen. Can you imagine the smell in there? I'd have more respect for them if they were just full on fucking each other.
MEGA ELITE COLLECTOR
Been curious for awhile, what does manlet do for a living?
He's obviously loaded.
Yo Goon!
Wanna throw down?!?! My boys Russo and Jenkins will belly flop dat ass on a bed of vintage Marusans! FRESH BEATDOWN
>>6069174
Loaded with wrestle jizz
>>6069177
Russo is chained in his basement by his goblin wife and Jenkins is too busy trying to top Eso's figure count.
>>6069174
Aircraft mechanic. He did a couple years in the pussy branch of the military (Navy). Pretty much did a lateral move to tbat occupation.
His wife works too. Just another childless white couple, that buy toys to fill the void that children has left.
This is all too funny. Even anonymous told me about this thread. That's my boy! You lil punks think you funny eh? You hate me cuz you ain't me! I bought 12 X-Plus 25cm figures in one sitting before I even got my first!! Now bow before my garage shelves!!
>>6069186
Every branch of the military is a pussy branch. It takes a real pussy to sign their lives away in order to become "yes" men. It's the ultimate emasculation of a person, becoming the government's personal bitch boy.
>>6069201
As opposed to being a bitch for minimum wage? Shut the fuck up, kid. Quit derailing the conversation. Get off your parent's wifi and go suck on a lemon.
>>6064554
That design that would've been used for the original script was supposed to kill TWO Rodan if I recall. The original script was pretty fuckin' cool.
>>6068403
You know, not to defend this guy, but I've always wanted a figure of me. I think it'd be surreal, you know? Like, whoa, this thing looks like me, and if I wanted to, I could take it like, on imaginary adventures and shit. I mean, I'm a bit old for that now, but it's always been interesting for me.
I could probably afford it depending on the price I guess, but I dunno. It's also kinda weird.
>>6069057
Man I love godzilla, but I really hate having to be put in with these people as a "fanbase"
>>6069216
The original script was great
>2 Rodan were on adnoa island protecting the egg
>Mechagodzilla was sent to kill them, one survived
>the surviving Rodan lives to fight MG and Garuda in Tokyo but dies before godzilla shows up
>MG would seperate into parts and all defeat godzilla
>Garuda crashes and the nuclear core explodes and turns baby into adult godzilla who would kill Mechagodzilla
I was watching mg2 with a friend the other day, and he asked if baby would become godzilla in this film after MG killed godzilla. Kinda funny how that we as the original plan
>>6069225
I'd molest a toy version of myself.
He buys toys, is a manlet, thinks he's some type of elite super nerd and sell shirts with his face on them.
>>6069213
Enjoying being a meat shield for your leaders. No one can tell me what to do in my job with the threat of ruining my career and facing jailtime, I make the calls in my division, I still have my testicles. Perhaps you should find yours.
>>6069256
Hey, hey, being a professional Call of Duty player doesn't count alright?
>>6069249
The saddest part is that people actually BUY shirts with his face on them. That's fucked up. He's literally just a guy who buys things and idiots thing he's some sort of Godzilla celebrity.
>>6069293
think* he's some sort of celebrity.
>>6069225
It's okay, I'd get a figure of myself too if it was well done. Would be the ultimate desk toy for work.
>>6069293
Aren't they called the Fresh Vinyl Army?

How do you deal with disappointing purchases?
>>6069335
>>6069335
I was told that figure was pretty good...is it?
>>6069373
I heard and saw that it is very disappointing. Limited articulation. Lights don't stay on, they just flicker and look so dim. The sounds...sound like swap meet Godzilla toys quality. No good and it doesn't scale with any of the SHMA
>>6069393
Lucky you. I got a defective one. The sound stutters & loops over & over. Until you turn it off. Oh well. I decided to leave it in off mode and make some blueprints on how to modify the inside to make it more pose-able in the future
when the fuck is this lil asshole getting shipped out
>>6069057
To play devils advocate, this guy makes a ton of unfunny joke posts
Just picked up NECA GMK Godzilla at TRU and jesus christ those bottom jaws are painted terribly. Only 2 had jaws that were mostly covered up, and one of those had a big chunk of paint missing from it's spine, so I took the other.
Other than that bizarre stuff, their Godzillas have improved. Paint detail (Besides the jaw) is nice on this one since it makes it looks like the sculpt has more depth, although i would have preferred something more film accurate. No glossy shit though, so I'm liking that.
After seeing the paint job theyre doing for their shin, combined with the updated sculpt they showed off, I'm super pumped for it.
>>6069724
He has been out
>>6069768
Just a heads up since most people don't seem to know it.
His torso is connected via double ballpeg, so it can move pretty far in all directions, takes a lot of force though.
>>6068414

Original Mecha-Goji will be here eventually. Now if only Bandai would give us Jet.

haha wow someone's touchy
NECA Godzillas are flawed, SHMA Godzilla's are flawed. Neither are perfect but Godzilla's cool, and we can all agree on that. Let's just move on.

It's just a cover.
Both Neca are SHMA are crap. SHMA just happens to be ridiculously expensive crap while Neca doesn't pretend it's worth much.
>>6070563
It's kind of obvious, innit?

they fucking gave him a hollywood nosejob

>>6061879
Never watched the movie, what is he supposed to transform into?
>tfw thread hasn't hit bump limit yet
>>6081225
Mechagodzilla. He was never in a movie. He has a top half and a bottom half, separated at the waist, you stupid idiot!
>>6082951
It did but some fucking retarded janitor decided to delete a bunch of posts instead of just letting it die

>>6059224
DESU my 2014 Godzilla MA has a pretty staggeringly mediocre paint job. Basically flat color across most of the figure. I've been meaning to repaint it, but haven't gotten around to it.
Sculpt is good enough that it lights really well just the same.
Can anyone tell me if this is the standard for the MA paint jobs? This is the only one I have right now.
>>6083901
SHMA 2014 was known for having shit paint.
The spitfire is better in regards to the face (though they screwed up with the red inside the mouth), but the green airbrushing is practically non-existent.
>>6069308
That's the faggiest shit I have ever heard. There was this whole thing during the Summer. I looked at all the conventions and G-Fest couldn't even get the Godzilla suit actors to come out this Summer. Meanwhile in Kentucky, they had 4 suit actors, Ultraman, and Shinji come out all at once. What's the point in calling it G-Fest if you can't even book Godzilla himself?
