Kaiju General: Blind-faith edition

Godzilla fans are crazy rich or just plain crazy

>>6458950
looks too much like fatzilla which i already own

Whatever happened to that Kiryu 3 model kit that was shown some time ago?

I can't pre-order it before seeing the actual anime first. If it turns out to be shit, then I would feel like a chump.

>>6459020

Shit we don't even know if it's color painted, or actually black and grey like the pic.

>>6458996
This. And the design isn't original enough to merit a purchase for it's own merits.

6,780yen on NY if you are feeling lucky(punk)

I thought you meant a vinyl or something, not something as expensive as a Monsterarts... I'm not gonna jump on this shit before they even show decent shots of the figure. It's not like I can purchase it with faith from just being a fan of the anime ether, since it isn't even out yet.

>>6459021
Prety sure it's in color based on this

> As official product information is not announced yet, the product image is processed in monochrome style matching the poster visual design

If it was actually that color the image wouldn't be edited

>>6458996
Yup. I had the thing in my cart at amiami and didn't pull the trigger. I figure I have enough Godzilla figs that I don't need one from something I hate if the anime turns out to be garbo.

>>6459132

How often has this fanbase ever hated new Godzilla merch or media though?

It never happens unless it was made by Americans.

>>6459157
I don't know about the fan base in general but there have been specific Japanese-made Godzilla films that I didn't like enough to want a $75 toy of in the past.

>>6458996
It could be Phasma all over again.. Only reason to pre-order is if the anime bombs and he's never re-released, and you want to own every Goji out there

Isn't like Fatzilla, over the obvious different skin, spikes and jaws, the angle just made it looks fat. Probably gonna have the usual Goji chubby body.

Semi related, I just watched Shin Gojira for the first time. I liked it a lot

>>6459235
I think EdwardsGoji is more proportionate than Heisei Godzilla. None of these animals could exist because their bone structures wouldn't be able to support their weight on land. Edwards made a Godzilla that looks like it may or may not be able to prove that statement wrong while still keeping the basic shape.

This thing is awesome, I really really liked the entire concept of the thing.

Liked Godzilla stuff so much I ended up POing the one from OP. Full blind luck. Lurked enough on this threads to know that Figuarts releases are solid enough.

SEGA Premium Shin actually looks pretty good.
Roughly the same price as NECA but much more accurate.

>>6459375
I'm really disappointed with mine. At half the price it would have been good but at the price I paid I was really underwhelmed. Normally Sentinel stuff has loads of sliding and moving parts that give it a much higher feel of quality, but this felt very barebones and simple. Plus it was really light and flimsly. I feel ripped off.

I preordered. If the anime does well I can make a quick buck. If it bombs them whatever the first run bonus is will at least allow me to make back what I paid selling it to some chump.

>>6459806
>that picture
Wait was the anime Goji's size confirmed?
I assumed he was gonna be way smaller than 2014 or Shin

>>6459253
Shit's good. I kind of don't want a sequel though. Apparently Toho can't make one anyway until 2020 because of the Legendary deal.

>>6459465
does he have an extra head? why??

What are places that are selling the new Shin Goji? I haven't seen it at Amiami.

>>6460108
All of the pre-orders are sold out. Ebay is your only option now.. sorry anon. He might start showing up on Mandarake at some point but I wouldn't hold your breath.

>>6460249
So is everyone just trying to make the biggest godzilla like some kind of dick-measuring contest? I remember G14 was the biggest one to date when it came out.

>>6461344
Pretty much. Japan doesn't like being beaten at its own game

>>6458950
If you're in the US, looks like Bluefin will be picking this one up. I assume it will hang around on Amazon and the usual suspects for quite a while, so you will have time to wait until the anime comes out and we get some actual product shots.

>>6460690
Mandrake hasn't let me down before, but I understand. Thanks anon.

>>6461344
It's obvious this whole anime is gonna be Butcher's pissing contest with Anno. He's so insecure he wants his Godzilla to be the biggest and scariest and holocausted the whole world and 20000 years old and killed the main character's parents.

>>6461344
Legendary Godzilla is twice the officially given stats, so he';s still the biggest unless anime Godzilla is 200 meters tall.

>>6461825
I won't be happy till Godzilla is humping the planet.

>>6458950
I PO'd him. He'll be my first dip into the SH Monsterarts line and from what I've seen the line looks pretty awesome so even if the movie isn't that great I know I'll still like the figure. I've also been thinking about going for Godzilla 2000 still haven't decided to pull the trigger.

>>6462315
G2K is a solid figure and one of the best in the line. He would be a good place to start.

>>6462315

> starting with a complete unknown

Bad idea honestly. This line is certainly not known for it's consistency. You should start with figures that are known to be good.

2000 and Rebirth are fine places for that.

>>6462392

I like him. You get a breath effect, stand, and severed MUTOhead, he's pretty cheap, and if you like blue translucent plastic then you're in luck.

>>6463182

He's pretty good. He's got joints that'll pop right out, but he is nice looking with that blue.

What are the chances of Ghidorah being re-released? I want him so bad but holy shit is he expensive. Are the ones on Amazon even the newer one or the one with the shitty wing?

>>6466414
Never ever, brah. He was a P-bandai exclusive to start, and he already got a definitive color release in the Special color edition. As far as we've seen, unless he gets a whole 2.0 (and I doubt he will unless they find a way to make those wings enormous and weightless and strong as shit) they're done with him. Maybe we'll get a new version for GMK, but I doubt it'll be any time soon.

>>6466436
>He was a P-bandai exclusive to start,
No he wasn't, that's the MKG and the SCE release.
>unless he gets a whole 2.0 (and I doubt he will unless they find a way to make those wings enormous and weightless and strong as shit
The SCE release fixes the wing issue, also made the necks better and more streamlined.

Do you think $200 is a decent price for him, found someone selling him from their collection.

I like it a lot, some folks don't.
It has some pros and some cons.
My advice is look at reviews and see if it's worth it to you.

>>6468679
Yes, very good! He's a nice solid figure, good amount of movement...surprisingly so with the tiny arms even. The head throws some people, but it's fine when you actually have the figure.

I'm happy with mine.

>>6468679
Yes, he is.

I have a bunch of recommendations for Godzilla, but let me recommend the Gamera Heisei movies. Also Gamera The Brave. Those are all very good monster movies.

For Godzilla:

>Terror of MechaG (1975 I think)
>Godzilla 2000
>Against MechaG

these charts are so retarded, just watch the movies in order from the Wikipedia page, if somebody's willing to watch all these movies anyway then they're probably interested in whatever the franchise has to offer. There doesn't need to be a "guide."

>>6480403
>Watch mid Showa
>Get to Ebriah, Son and all the goofy shit
>Drop because of stupid movies
Great Idea!

The Showa era has loose continuity based on context, and I fail to see why somebody would end up watching the politically dry Tokyo SOS film if their first impression of MechaGodzilla was through a 70's superhero alien invasion film, but hey what do I know?

Watch the films in order like an adult and form your own opinions, they're like an hour and 30 minutes each anyway.

>>6482115
If you drop the whole series even though you know there's cool shit after a few turds while you're willingly watching them in order, that's pretty much on you
I marathoned everything 2 years ago for the first time and still made it through those because there was obviously still cool shit ahead
You're a bitch nigga if you can't handle a few shitty movies after wasting so much time already

>>6482166
>a few
Oh, please, there are more than a few shitty movies in the franchise. Look at it this way, there's been one good X-Men movie and it was Loga, but it's completely understandable if someone never got to it because the earlier movies turned them off. It happens. It makes no one a bitch nigger.

>>6482172
The difference here is that the Showa films are the best so there's no reason to skip.

>>6482172
>>6482204
The real difference is that Logan this far has been the last men movie and there are like a total of seven of them or so. But if you get seven movies into the Godzilla franchise you are only scratching the surface, and odds are that there is at least some other cool shit coming up. Not only that, but if you are getting into Godzilla now, then you have to know about the history and that is probably part of the allure, you want to see guys in big monster suits stomping around little cities, and every single Godzilla movie delivers on that.

>>6480396
this is way more complicated than it needs to be.

Why are you trying to act tough about a movie series about guys dressed in monster suits; on a toy board? I don't see the issue with guides when there is about to be 30 fucking movies to the series. With plenty of different continuities all over the place, it's a good question as to where to start. And like >>6482248 it is more complicated then it needs to be, I prefer to use this guide

>>6482304
I don't like this specific chart because of how overtly bias it comes off.

All Monster's Attack in particular is one of the more creative entires in the series, it subverts the established formula and treats Godzilla like a meta concept, some lonely distraction for a neglected child. I watched this film recently through El Rey's marathon and it grew up on me a lot, stock footage aside, which at least has meat to the story telling / action. It's cute, bizarre, and a little funny, where as VS Gigan in comparison felt like child fodder with cringy effects, stiff effects and insultingly obvious use of stock footage. Some of the Heisei listings are oddly forgiving, too, like SpaceGodzilla and the largely irrelevant 1992 VS Mothra.

Saying it's horrible / can be avoided is only doing a disservice to those interested if you ask me, and the same applies to Son of Godzilla, that movie actually kinda rules, with a very well-rounded cast, great acting, and one of the best non-Ifukube scores the series has to offer. Akira Kubo carries the lead role very well, and SoG has a special type of ending that really takes the viewer off guard, from what you would expect in an average Godzilla film.

Though really, saying Final Wars is "highly recommended" speaks volumes.

I just want a Reptilicus figure god dammit

slightly off rails but does anyone else have any issues with their Revo Anguirus' pegs being a bitch to insert? The right arm and leg holes seem too tight to insert the pegs and it's really frustrating.

MonsterArts when?

>>6482322
The only one bias here is you. I wouldn't recommend late Showa Godzilla other than the two MechaGodzilla films. Everything from Vs The Sea Monster, to Vs Megalon is after school special territory. DaM is the only one that isn't like that, and I still wouldn't recommend it due to it being lack luster.

The rest of the list isn't that bad. Yes vs Mortha isn't that essential to the series, and will be covered in the next movies. That's why it says consider it.
>Final Wars
If you can handle "Godzilla says I should fight my own battles" camp, then you can handle mutants, spaceship battles, and early 2000s cheese. At least FW was just fun Kaiju brawls.

If anything, the first list is stil better. At least it shows where to go if you like something about the series. Instead is sitting through 7 after school specials, before you top off the Showa with the MechaGodzilla movies.

>>6482941
After they finish repainting Godzilla.

So, never.

>>6482399
Same here. I actually cut down one of the leg pegs.

Also not off topic at all, this is a thread for all kaiju toys after all

>>6483134
By cut do you mean literally mean you cut the pegs thin? I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to figures desu.

>>6482946
Final Wars doesn't have any good Kaiju brawls, they're 10 seconds long and suits like King Caesar and Ghidorah look like they're held together with duct tape. It's a horrible, panned movie that somehow bombed financially despite having the largest budget in the series at the time, finally forcing the franchise into hiatus.

From an objective, analytic stance, it's easily the most disappointing film in the franchise. It has nothing to do with creative direction as you put it, which FW is already derivative of older films and genres that are superior to it, so I'm not sure where this idea that because I can handle "I should fight my own battles" somehow means other elements are out of the question, it's just a simple fact that unlike this movie, Son of Godzilla was actually well made, and you can make decent arguments for the pleasantries of other child fodder films like All Monsters Attack (a metaphysical adventure of this child, teaching an example that escapism is not a good substitute for absent-minded parenting, and the "clip shows" serve their purpose well as being made for a children's film festival) with Ebirah Horror of the Deep being the only Godzilla film to really tackle the idea of post-WWII terrorism (using nuclear power, Godzilla, to fight literal guerrilla warfare/terrorist) and having a pretty dynamic, entertaining cast to carry an otherwise childlike film.

Is Megalon kind of a shitty film? Sure, but it was also filmed in like three weeks, and you can tell they had fun doing it. This isn't a matter of bias, it's about having perspective.

>>6483188
>Final Wars doesn't have any good Kaiju brawls
Godzilla and Monster X was great.
>It's a horrible, panned movie that somehow bombed financially despite having the largest budget in the series at the time, finally forcing the franchise into hiatus.
This was going to be the last movie for a while no matter what. I don't know where this revisionist history comes from that the reception killed the franchise when it was known when it was announced Godzilla was taking a break.

So can you at least admit that the after school specials can be skipped?

I don't think any newcomer to the series will wanna sit through that, then 6 other movies like it. And like how the first chart shows, if you want this campy goofy stuff, just watch these

>>6483419
I would never suggest skipping Megalon and Sea Monster, both are good and one gets a rare Jet Jaguar appearance.

>So can you at least admit that the after school specials can be skipped?

Nah sorry, I think All Monster's Attack is a legit good and creative entry for a Godzilla film, especially Son of Godzilla (though this is more of a "date flick" inspired take, than "after shcool special") which breaks the mold of what you would expect from Godzilla. I don't adhere to the notion that these movies are any less than others because of their atmosphere, and frankly, by the early '90s onward you end up reaching a point where most Godzilla films tread the same derivative "air," so it's really fun to look back at this specific era for how different it was, and the creative direction, which is most certainly a product of it's time, for better or for worst.

Beyond the childlike grandeur, Son of Godzilla has one of the best endings in any Godzilla (or Kaiju media for the matter) that makes the entire experience all the more satisfying, and I would never deny anybody the chance to experience a cult masterpiece like Hedorah, which is actually one of the more thematically powerful entries next to the original Godzilla and Mothra VS. Godzilla '64. Then you have Ebirah which is the only film to portray non-Alien terrorist, and as the other anon put it, Megalon has fan-favorite Jet Jaguar.

>>6483435
Seconded. Jet Jaguar is awesome!

>>6483419
This is dumb. Vs Hedorah fucking rules.

I'd be willing to argue Hedorah's more surreal than "goofy."

>>6487762
It's part of a larger American partnership campaign. The armed forces are going to come back into play and will be used a lot more as proxies for American forces in Asia and the Middle East, so expect more stuff like this from Japan as a whole to ease its people into the whole "comradery" trick.

Even if they manage, I think it will be in spite of the design, not to it's credit.

If not accuracy then the monster arts are pretty cool. They can be posed quite well and get some sweet shots/dioramas done with them. If you are gunning for more accurate depictions Xplus is excellent. If you want a Goji on a budget then you could check out the Neca line, they are semi accurate and get some ok poses.

GMK Godzilla is pretty sweet. He is quite hefty, has good paint apps, and if you get the Mothra emergence Goji you can use his breath effect to make a pretty accurate breath scene. I just wish I could get a monster arts Baragon from that film to go along with him.

im torn between this one and the 2014 neca one
what do you guys think?
can i remove the atomic blast? dont matter to much if i cant

Not sure about making a separate thread here or on other board, so I'll try to ask here for now.

Long story short, I'm traveling with my friend in Tokyo right now and my friend got really interested in Pacific Rim figures, Kaiju in particular. He managed to find all but two - Otachi and Hardship - in Akihabara and through Mandarake and we don't really have that many ideas where to try our luck next to find the remaining ones (we tried a few googled suggested places for figures in general in Tokyo but it was a blatant lie). Any suggestions? Would really appreciate help.

Pacific Rim, as in, NECA figures? You're looking in the wrong country.

>>6492821
that looks bad. If you get butt-hurt over that then stay in Neca general.

>>6493237

Yes, I know. It's just we managed to find most of them here, also they were really cheap.

** Tamashii Web Shop **
Release Date: 01.2018
Price: 9,720 ¥

we better have a shit ton of effect parts

>>6494813
We probably won't- this is a completely new sculpt, so that's probably why they're charging so much.

Still pre-ordering. Though I admit part of me is wondering if it'll come to the US like every other Monsterart.

>>6494813
Oh fug, my wallet.

>>6494813
I really hope we get a '74 Godzilla to go with him
But its probably too much to hope for an Anguirus as well (tho I'm perfectly happy with my Revoltech)

>>6494123
This, no. Poster MechaGodzilla, yes.

>>6494813
O.O I'll pay whatever they want for him.

>>6491981
Preorders still haven't even sold out yet dude. I don't think the demand is going to be as high as you think and I'm going to laugh when you can't flip them.

>>6494813
Think it'll come to the US?

I fucking love Mechagodzilla but Bandai is a bunch of greedy jews and fuck them, I won't be buying this.

>>6497070

Oh, yeah!

Oh, no . . .

>>6496351
Stop

>>6497070
Pretty much this. They have no respect for the consumer anymore. I think they want to rape who they can before killing the line.

What's the cheapest place selling Mecha right now?
