No it's not... That's a highly detailed (and intricately sculpted) 13cm pre-painted figure.

$40 is a perfectly reasonable price tag when post people here ponied up premium price tags for Bandai exclusives.

>>6273216
If you think the mass produced version painted by suicidal chinks in a sweatshop will look anything like the professionally hand-painted promo shots you're mad. They never do.

>>6273329
They generally don't look exactly like the promo but there's rarely ever a significant difference, X-Plus figures pretty much look exactly the same as advertised.

By this logic nothing is worth the price tag because everything we see in the photos are specially made prototypes.

>>6273231

They look like poopy, so, yes, I feel they cost too much.

>>6273329

I just got back from Japan literally 2 days ago. I found a couple of Shin Godzilla gashapon machines but I only passed them once; I would have used them on the way back but I didn't have the change. As I recall the lineup was:
>Kamata-kun with bendy tail
>Shinagawa-kun going apeshit
>Shin Godzilla standing idle
>Shin Godzilla going nuclear
>Form 1: that stupid fucking tail sticking out of some water
Clearly the tail was a booby trap and I wasn't keen on risking getting an utterly useless piece of plastic. I think you can buy them on ebay.

Teaser pic. Interview with the poster artist coming at the end of the month. They're also being really coy about the figure's gimmick. I noticed a lot of hinges and panels on the thing at the Tamashii display and seeing as it's a Chogokin figure I think the odds of it transforming are very high.

1MB, 935x917px

>>6281845

How much is he selling for? I'm personally not crazy about how that one looks, but go for it if you want it.

X-Plus is apparently going to be releasing this sculpt by Yuji Sakai in July, and it's fucking beautiful. I might hold out for this and just blow my money load all over it since Bandai decided to cockblock me on the SHMA 4th Form Awakening by making the third wave a fucking lottery. I'll see how Awakening actually turns out though QC-wise and what aftermarket prices are.

>>6281929
Won't this cost like a gorrilian dollars?

Also 2nd/3rd form when.

>>6281933
Don't you mean a godzillion dollars?

>>6281933

When I first heard about it, it was suggested that it'll be released as a 30 cm vinyl. That would place it in the $180-$230 range as far as I can tell looking at similar releases. I've never bought an X-Plus before though, so maybe I'm missing something. It's a lot, but not really more than I was prepared to drop on the SHMA Shin Awakening before my order was canceled.

>>6281950
The director had also made a show called Neon Genesis Evangelion. That alone is enough to answer your question

>>6281845

If you like the roaring face, by all means, but the purple kinda muddies the supposed intensity of the paint by quite a bit. I'd recommend the normal version, or just wait for the upcoming ones that X-Plus is gonna put out.

If you're into SHMA the Shin Godzilla merits a look, but only if you can get it below 200 shipped. Also be sure to be aware of the issues with paint, but if you're going all in with Shin you should know that he has a very difficult paintjob to get right. SHMA went with the glossy look on him which some people disliked.

>>6281943
We'll the 25cm one was $180 so I assume the 30cm series is going to be much much larger and much more expensive.

>>6281950
So it can shoot a laser from it.

>>6281989
Why was the 25cm so expensive? The line is usually $40-50 cheaper, Shin tax?

>>6281995
Because he's fucking huge. The 25cm Shin was the size of most 30cm series figures.

>>6281997
I can understand for situations like Ghidorah and Biollante, but why they don't just label Shin a 30cm is beyond me.

>>6282014
Actually it's the same reason as the two you mentioned. Shin himself is normal size, it's just that his tail is disproportionately massive.

>>6281950
It's the result of Goro Maki fusing with him.

>>6277806
That's its MSRP. Bandai didn't make a $200, they made a $130 figure. That furthers your point, but you're too dense to see that anyway.

Also mods are fags.

>>6281929
Dude's selling for £250, dunno if that's good or not, I have no idea how much these go for in Japan.

>>6277370
man, those proportions are fucked, holy shit, and the paint looks sloppy

Where can I get Mecha G thats a reliable website? I understand the shipping from gookland is absurd on all sites but I want yo actually receive the figure.

>>6281784
Are there any actual changes to the mold? I already have the original one and couldn't bring myself to buy it again just to get the Garuda.

>>6283829
The mold has a slight improvement. Joint areas don't feel thin like on the first model. From the waist up, it feels sturdy and not cheaply constructed. From the waist down, that shit is heavy.

But the chrome paint has my concern. It has that gloss paint feeling to it. IF you have sweaty hands: use a towel first. The neck area is the most vulnerable place. You will see lots of poses & movement there.

>>6282726
The proportions are spot on, dipshit. And the paint looks like it should. Maybe you've been staring at the Bandai tar baby too long.

Just got finished watching the Heisei Gamera trilogy for the first time. How did they make pic related become so cool?

Now I need some turtle goodness in my life, which Gamera is better?
SHMA or Revo?
Is there an obscure, even better one aside from those two?

>>6288871
I love the '90s Gamera trilogy but honestly hate how it's become essentially an open invitation to shit on Showa Gamera for some people, which have some awesome films with a lot of personality in their own right. Classic Gamera all around is actually more violent than Heisei, especially Barugon.

I imagine if Heisei Godzilla wasn't predominately shit, the same would have happened for that fandom too. (Though sometimes it'll still happen despite that)

>>6288887
Heisei kids are basically of the opinion that Heisei is the only good series, though. Shitting on Showa Godzilla besides 54 is nothing new. Just look at /m/

>>6288894
Somebody on /m/ unironically asked me if had mental problems for praising Son of Godzilla as one of the best, most creatively venturous Godzilla films. By that point I realized I wasn't surrounded by fans that "get it" like me (and I don't meant that in an elitist way but I guess it comes off like that) so I stopped posting there, and mostly stick to my collector facebook groups for discussion, much more variety there.

>>6288887
>>6288894
>>6288901
I think the oversaturation is what ruins Showa for a lot of people
They're charming films and they're a lot of fun, but there's just so many and they're mostly the same

>>6288910
I don't see how people can see Showa as samey (which isn't true) when Millennium has a quarter of the films and 90% of them are creatively similar and dry.

>>6288894
The only people that shit on showa anything on /m/ are shitposters, children, and shitposting children.

>>6288779

Well, okay, I kinda want that.

The best gamera is probably SHMA 1996 BUT they don't seem to want to continue that line, and revoltech actually seems to be putting out multiple figures

So to answer your main question: for a single best gamera get SHMA, if you want a whole series get revoltech

>>6288894
>>6288910
>>6288935
I do t get why people feel the need to praise one era and shit on the others just because they feel loyalty to one

I love most of Showa, whether it's 1954 or mechagodzilla (not so much Kong kkng vs Godzilla), but there are showafags who basically say you CAN ONLY like those ones tsuburaya and Honda made, like for fucks sake get off your high horse they aren't perfect and that dismisses the great efforts of people Like Nakano and fukuda.

Heisei series is my least favorite of the 3 eras, because I felt after biollante Omori just got lazy writing wise with his remaining 3 films, but I still enjoy most of them for the most part, and I appreciate the mecha designs kawakita put forth (especially the double Cannon masers and gunhed)

>>6289004
Thank you anon

>>6289016
Just for added background, revoltech seems to have
>Showa gamera
>Showa gyaos
>heisei gamera (a few)
>heisei gyaos
>Legion
And I think iris is on the way

Also it should be noted revoltexh are about 4-4.5 inches tall so they won't scale with SHMA godzilla if that's your thing

Well I don't watch Kamen Rider cause I'm not into foot soldier toku, but I haven't seen any Heisei era Ultraman aside from a few episodes of Mebius cause of the hype, otherwise I've only see Showa.

Seven's one of my favorite Tokusatsu creations in general, and my favorite Ultra Monster is from Taro.

>>6288887
Showa Gamera is garbage buddy, get over it. Being more violent doesn't make it good. The Heisei Trilogy took what was essentially unwatchable mockeries and made it respectable.

>>6288031

I don't have any of the original versions of this or the repaints. Is this a good entryway to get into SHMA? I only have NECA stuff now.

>>6289516
>Being more violent doesn't make it good.

The Godzilla series toned down on the blood and scratches since Raids Again, so during the '60s it was Gamera that kept such visceral combat in the genre, which was a big deal for fans.

That was Gamera's special little thing, and while the Heisei series has it's own share of spectacle, the choreography itself is a lot more "held down" and soft like Godzilla. I can't ever forget moments like Gamera turning Gyaos into a bloody water fountain, or Gamera literally drowning Barugon in his own pool of blood. The beheading of Space Gyaos by Guiron is pretty intense too. They had this weird effect of being child friendly films, yet becomes a tonal different thing than the likes of Ultraman or Fukuda Godzilla once the action starts to kick in, it's a very Japanese-like / bizarre mix of child entertainment you would never see created for American television (and even then we had Space Gyao's beheading censored)

Also it's a personal thing but the Showa Gamera roars are waaaay better, especially Gyaos.

It's a good starting point, yeah. It's a solid figure and good middle ground in terms of articulation.

Should I sell my MonsterArts Kong to buy other figs in the Godzilla line I tihnk witht he money I make form him I could buy 3 other figs max maybe even 4 if I buy a another 95 G, or should I keep him?
Will Bandai ever re -release the Kong figure or do arepaint of him cuz I do really like him bu I would also want other iterations of Kong because the Peter Jackson Kong is just a big Gorilla with scars. I would love a MonsterArts of the 1933 Kong.

I'm in the same situation...
I sold my NECA Deadspace Isaac to get SHMA Kong and regret it. It's nicely sculpted and has nice paint, but articulation is ass where it counts, and joints are way too loose too

I've thought about selling it BUT then what if I sell it and then bandai releases a 33 kong or a 17 kong? Then I woulda missed out on an opportunity to have a King Kong timeline display going.

The script where mechagodzilla looked like that had him split into two vehicles. This idea was also carried over into Moguera. The script, there were also two rodans. It was lit.

Looks like Legendary Godzilla getting blasted by possibly Legendary Ghidora.

>>6269738

ghidorah is crawling around like a Skyrim dragon

Did anyone actually buy that Destroyah re-release? Is it a shitshow?

>>6296290
that's a screenshot of this animation from legendary dopko was showing a couple of weeks ago

>>6296290
Seeing the direction they will take the new monsters has me curious.

I figured Ghidora would just be a three-headed wyvern, but whether or not they'll keep that golden sheen remains to be seen. I honestly think they'd give Ghidora a different color just because it's difficult to illustrate that bright yellow design through CGI, especially through typically foggy/dark filters and sets they tend to film these type of movies on. I also don't think Ghidora will have a projectile of any kind, Godzilla snuck one in because it's expected, and they need those brownie points, but nobody really associates Ghidora with LIGHTING BREATH except fans, it's an inherently ridiculous quirk as well. Everything about Ghidora is cool, but also very... Flamboyant.

Rodan's a no-brainer, but I'm pretty worried about what they'll do to Mothra, I expect something that doesn't even come close to resembling it, I have a funny feeling they'll go crazy. I just don't perceive the traditional design of Mothra, both visually and conceptually, is respected at all in the West. No golf ball eyes, no peanut figure, you likely won't get a good look at the wings since they'll be shaking at light-speed, and obviously a rebooted origin without the twins. I'm willing to be it won't even be an actual moth, they'll probably go the GMK route and basically turn it into a bee for dynamic effect.

I'm hoping the eggs and web spiting Larvae get a little action, but who knows.

>>6297369
shit's probably fan made or something, don't know why they'd give Ghidora arms/hands in his wings, looks stupid

>>6297495
not fan-made it's a legit screenshot from a video someone showed me a couple weeks ago thats basically an early look at a fight scene between 14 godzilla and ghidorah theyre making ghidorah look more like smaug believe me or not thats up to you

>theyre making ghidorah look more like smaug believe me or not thats up to you

I believe you. Muricans are unqualified to make something new and creative. Even if the have source material, they need to "fix" it and make something more "real". That's the reason because his kaijus suck: what is king kong? just a gorilla; what is 2014? just a crocodile; what will be Ghidorah? just a generic dragon.

>>6297495
I have no idea if it's real or not, I'm just saying Ghidora's likely a wyvern in the new film.

Oddly enough the "caveman painting" at the end of Kong Skull Island resembles more of a serpent, which would be disappointing but also believable.

Still not really following who you're trying to screw over here, all things considered. Would hate for someone to lose their job or be sued because an anonymous poster on 4chan has a personal vendetta against a completely separate individual.

What little paint job it did right feels like it's utterly negated by the shoddy sculpt.

>>6300474
yeah, its fucked beyond repair, scult is off by a mile, proportions are fucked, paint is sloppy at best. its not with $20, sure the paint isnt great on a lot of shma shin gojis ( luckily mine wasnt) qc needs to be stepped up, but still just the sculpt alone puts it leagues ahead of neca.

>>6300483

Yours is shit too buddy, they all are.

Unless by some chance, yours isn't a glossy mess with sloppy red bleeds?

>>6300483

I won't pretend that the SHMA doesn't have faulty paint, but in the case of ShinG it's a whole lot easier to fix the paint than it is to fix the sculpt, and with that in mind I've decided to cancel my order for the NECA figure.

>>6300510
mines just as glossy ast say the g14 figure,the redis fine and appplyed eh-ish on the chest and a little on the thighs, the red on the pack and tail is flawless, only real complaint i have is the sloppy teeth on the lower jaw here and there. however when it comes to the neca, i wouldnt want to spend even 5 bucks on it, its an innacurate mess.

Say what you guys will about Neca Shin but I'll be content with it for the price. Sure it's not exact, but I'm not paying upwards of 200 dollars for a figure everyone bitches about anyway because it is "marginally better"

>>6301145
Yup, pretty much this.

Frustrating to deal with in parts, but good.

>>6301139
I ordered it because I had high hopes that NECA would nail the sculpt since I actually collect their figures on a regular basis. I complained about the initial reveal but found out that NECA said they'd tweak the final product so I ordered anyway.

Hell even fucking Hasbro shit like ML and BS are safe from getttig a price increase with them depending on how popular they think the figure will be
They even have that retarded optional "COLLECTOR'S FEE" that no other store has and tell you that basically you have a 50% chance of them giving you an item with a fucked up box because they feel like it if you didn't pay said fee when any other site makes sure their customers get their shit is in good condition before shipping
I'm not even a boxfag, but I expect my shit to be in good condition without some extra fee that no one else charges when the shipping box itself is spotless when it was shipped by Fedex of all people
Funny how reviewers shill the fuck out of them knowing full well they didn't actually buy their non locally distributed exclusive toy for double the price from them because no one is actually that retarded

It was too expensive to do, so they carried the idea to Moguera (who was also supposed to be MechaGodzilla). In the script, there'd also be two Rodans like in the first Rodan film.

Another interesting tidbit was that Mechagodzilla was also considered to be turned rogue by a virus. The film had so many good ideas, but it ended up being somewhat dull imo.

The figure and poster versions also resemble the concept art (minus the wings).

I'm not either of the guys above, but c'mon bro, step your reply game the fuck up. Somebody puts actual facts in your face and the best you can muster is "NO YOU'RE STILL WRONG?" With absolutely nothing to supplement it? Weak.

>>6302655
>They even have that retarded optional "COLLECTOR'S FEE" that no other store has

Tons of stores have this. You are wrong and stupid.

The tail and backpack is so spiky... doesn't really go with the rest

Where the fuck is this $70?

Nippon-Yassan, Ami-Ami, Hobby-Link Japan, Cornerstorecomics, Midtowncomics.

>>6302844
Congratulations for showing you have no clue what you're talking about. One of those is a middle man service and two are Japan based stores that have no such kind of fee.

Or were you retarded in believing that you could just list of stores you know and people would just take your word for it?

>>6302867

Uh-oh, someone let the autist loose!

>One of those is a middle man service
N-Y is a store.

>check neca shin g on ebay
>neca's own store has it
>"Free international shipping"
>click on the listing
>see this shit

wtf I hate neca now. Amazon is out of the question too since their shipping is about twice as much. This is what I get from living in a 3rd world country

>gets called out
>resorts to calling someone an autist
Glad to see your arguing skills are on point. Shame that even autists can easily prove you wrong though.

>>6302921
Obviously if you knew he was referring to N-Y you could see where he was coming from.

>>6303327
I was just correcting him.

>>6303325
The problem is, you were proven wrong. And you're still trying to shit on Bigbad for no reason at all.

Is the Revoltech Legion figure worth it? Never seen a Gamera movie in my life but he looks pretty cool. Helps I'm a Tyranid player and they have a very Tyranid/Xenomorph look to them.

>>6303613
He wasn't proven wrong though?

Is there a way to get a replacement part for one of my figures? This joint piece inside my MonsterArts Kong's right arm snapped and makes his joint loose. I glued it together but its not the same. Is there any fucking way to get a replacement piece from Bandai or should I somehow 3D print one.

>>6305089
getting a pick of the actual piece would require me to take the figure apart again which I'm trying not to do for a while.

I like how it looks in this picture. (although I do wish the tail was longer and the arms smaller)

I despise how it looks in the promo pictures

And the reviews I've seen it's looked good is some and shit in others.

This is the most polarizing figure I've ever seen.

This confirms my theory that some people just don't know how to pose it correctly, including whoever did the official promo shots

Headsulpt inaccurate and still too big, neck is a bit short, still unlikeable.

>>6306451
monsterarts is still the better figure.

They defend baboon/crocodile GMK Goji and will try to defend fried catfish ShinGoji

>>6306550
*less worse

All articulated figures have been awful

>>6306550
>>6307371

Eh. Both are the same to me for different reasons

SHMA- Better sculpt, better articulation
NECA- Better paint, insanely better value

but yeah, overall theyre both disappointing.

>>6307860
paint is debatable, the neca one is a sloppy mess when t comes to paint, shma is lacking in the details.

>>6306095
Those are some fucked up proportions
Why did the give him a fucking horserider stance?
