M1GO Appreciation and Discussion thread

A sampling of my M-1 collection...

[Jomei]

The Velokron is a great, lesser seen one. Thanks for the pic!

I gotta get that GMK Goji. Ive passed twice and always regretted it. I think its just the color that always has me hesitating. Love the g62 (the whole classic box is pretty neat) and the Titano is growing on me.

It's so much cooler in person, as is the case with most M1 figures.

[Captain Aktion]

^Seconded.

[Jomei]

My newest M1, another great toy.



...and a video review of M1 GMK Goji that I made, if anyone's interested in that kinda thing.

I've passed on that red beast several times now. Don't think I will anymore after seeing so much of yours, Jomei. He looks great.

He's pretty swell. Reminds me of the scene when Miki Saegusa faces off with him on that rig out in the ocean, he glows all red, and then she collapses. Good news is that this fig turns up at fairly regularly at reasonable prices--I'm sure you get what I'm saying.

edit: Reviving this thread. M1 deserves better than page 4, guys. >;[

I also have a new M1 coming in the mail soon.

[Captain Aktion]

^Yuh. I love mine...

My newest M1GO figure!



Like many figures from this company, the sculpt of this Manda is highly stylized yet impeccably detailed, fitting in perfectly with other figures from the line. Similarly, it has the same color motif that many of their toys do, featuring a base vinyl color that is painted with a slightly different, metallic shade, subtly fading from one to the other.



This particular figure has some interesting articulation, too. As you can see, the head rotates, and there are two segments in the body, allowing you to coil the sea serpent up for a different pose.



Most of the paint detail looks great--particularly in the mouth--but I have to say the white for the horns and whiskers does not look the best. The vinyl quality is still excellent, but a little softer than what I'm used to from them--maybe because it's one of their earlier figures? Being an older M1, I also had some goopy vinyl syndrome from this toy being sealed in its bag for too long (probably 12-15 years).

Overall a great figure and a perfect way to represent Manda in my collection. Plus, it came with this little guy:



As I understand it, this is a replica of a mini Bullmark Hedorah, though in a new color scheme. The blue Manda came with a pink one. Cool gimmick!

Bump for Manda and his lady love...

I can't say that I'm much of a fan of this company's toys. I don't really like the weird paintjobs on alot of them, but I definitely dig this Baragon. I might have to find one of those eventually.

Most of this line is far too stylized for my tastes, but some of their figures, like Biollante and Megs, are rather tempting

They become more appealing once you have them in person, trust me. And when you have several together, they just look great.

[Captain Aktion]

^True talk.

The Godzilla 2K is awesome. Alot of the sculpts are cool, but the paint jobs are just way too out there for me.

If I get any of these it would be the G2K and Baragon. The GMK Ghidorah is pretty cool too. And the Megaguirus...

Dammit, MUST... NOT... BUY... haha. Honestly, if I had millions of dollars to blow I'd buy every Godzilla, Gamera and Ultraman toy in existence and keep them in a huge warehouse and turn it into a museum and charge people to come see them.

I'm glad that you're so enthusiastic about them. Post more pics!

I want the Last Dinosaur T-Rex so badly!

[Jomei]

This is one of the most under-appreciated lines on this forum, so I thought I'd get a group shot of my M1s in addition to my Gigabrains. Good chance to dust off a few shelves, too.

[Captain Aktion]

^Haha, I have five of those sculpts as well. Great minds, yada yada...

[king_ghidorah]

WOWZA!! I love seeing M1 collections!
