It kinda looks like Godzilla's front is glowing as well. Maybe they are trying to go for a Shin Goji look by having his upper body glow as he charges his breath.

I went a little crazy, and went to HLJ to preorder the Godzilla and MKG. I ordered two Godzillas; one for me, and one for my nephew.

Yeah, he's a huge fan and, even though I'm not supposed to have favorites, he's my favorite. hahahahaha. So just a little something for him.

Shin’s upper body didn’t glow when he charged his atomic breath, that was just a mistake on the SHMA figure.codycameron09 wrote:It kinda looks like Godzilla's front is glowing as well. Maybe they are trying to go for a Shin Goji look by having his upper body glow as he charges his breath.

do you mean Shins chest or his neck? The sides of his neck glowed.
You don't really get a good look at his chest. Down the sides of his neck and across his upper chest (inside the pointed sternum section) it's glowing red right before everything turns purple. But when things turn purple the camera is down below the lip of his protruding sternum and you don't really get a look down inside it since now you're looking up instead of down.
But since his chest and neck are glowing red, and then you see him glowing purple in the same spots it's probably safe to assume that down in his chest it's probably glowing purple too just like the red was.
The camera angles for his massive 'destroy everything atomic-breath' scene really make it hard to definitively tell though.

IIRC you can still see his red chest during the final attack when he's spamming his rays across the day sky. To lazy atm to pop in the disk, but im sure you can find a decent upload somewhere on YT.

Yes, all the red still glows when his purple set in, the purple is just so bright it makes the red seem gone.

Get hold of Kaiju Zoo on here or on Sci-Fi Japan forums, he does some pretty awesome work when it comes to repair jobs. Would probably be cheaper than aftermarket Franky prices.OGMechaMothra wrote:Got my Frankenstein today from Bandai-Online... and it came broke in half.. UNREAL... not I'll have pay $135 or higher.

The prototype was shown on off but no date for release has been announced. It's basically "coming soon" at this pointUltra_Henshin_Fan wrote:is crawling Baragon confirmed?!

They also said ookado was coming to go with it and that Baragon wouldn't get made because it had been made before.Godzillian wrote:The prototype was shown on off but no date for release has been announced.

Baragon was originally planned for "Kaiju Bangaichi" but was canceled since Bandai had previously issued a figure of the popular burrowing beast to their "Godzilla Series" line back in 1992. Those behind the scenes are still hoping to push the idea that Baragon is due a new in this line - perhaps a "crawling version" of the critter? While Bandai's position is understandable, the earlier figure was issued 25 years ago. Let's cross our claws, but not hold our collective radioactive breath.While more details (and photos, hopefully) of the Giant Octopus (can it be true?) have been promised to be unveiled this weekend at Super Festival 75 (if my sources are correct)
