Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0

[Mac Daddy MM]

=sigh= The main point being that the BC G54 is a poop Godzilla sculpt compared to what Bandai Japan put out...

Dude, for real. Can't you just put "Japanese Bandai is better than American! I prefer the Japanese!" in your signature or something because EVERY god damn post you ever make anymore is whining about Bandai Creation, despite the fact that they don't even release new figures anymore. Honestly, you're getting to the point of sheer obnoxiousness as the old "Trendmasters are garbage!" folk that used to hang around the toy forums a few years ago.

We get it. You said it a hundred times. Now can you please give it a god damn rest?

I've actually always wanted to get a Trendmasters Godzilla. I like the super beefy 90's physique they gave all the monsters.

Just posting this here if anyone's interested. It's an unopened Godzilla 91 and Godzillasaurus two pack that sold back when Godzilla vs King Ghidorah came out. There aren't many of these sets that exist unopened, this is the first one I've actually seen for sale:

That’s cool, but if anyone is just interested in the Godzillasaurus, and doesn’t care about it being open, you can find a bunch of those Godzillasaurus’s being sold for about 15$ in Tokyo.

Also I like all those new Bandai but I already have them all in terms of old issues. They look to be the same sculpt.

[Thegarbagemonster]

It's a shame Gigan doesn't have the saw hands, but it's still lookin' good imo

If he had the saw hands I wouldn’t question buying it as I don’t have that variant.

ANGURIUS!

At last an Angurius reissue

Yeah I just posted that for collector's who like having their stuff mint in the box. I already have the G91.

[MandaSaurus]

Yup, old MMS releases. Their paint applications appear to have been tweaked. Pic quality isn't very good, but from what I see: The highlighting that appeared on G54 previously is gone. Gigan looks a lot darker than the prior releases. Anguirus' paint on the upper limbs' armor is gone, and his greyish body appears to be more blue now - or just a darker grey...

[Thegarbagemonster]

You can bet that they'll just airbush Anguirus's claws like what they did with Destoroyah lol.

[MechaSkeleturtle666]

Nice! I'll be getting all three of those since i don't have the old versions. It's a shame those new ones will have worse paint though.

[Dyrakro]

Considering Bandai also gifted us with a 6" Heavy Arms Kiryu last year, we should just wait! Looks like they are finally about to release most characters in nearly all their incarnations!

...?!?! Erm... as far as I can tell from their track record, no. Far from that to be exact.

[Stump Feet]

So I got a big bonus today and went ahead and ordered the Movie Monsters MOGUERA, this is my first Japanese vinyl so could anyone tell me about this guy if you got him, would you recommend him yourselves or did I done goof?

https://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Space-M ... era&sr=8-1

[MandaSaurus]

$22, free shipping ain't bad, but if yer gonna buy a bunch of them, order from HLJ or some such...

[Stump Feet]

Thanks for the advice, I figure I’ll just buy em one at a time so my wife doesnt smack me in the face with her hair straightener
I mostly just see Heisei monsters on Amazon though, I’ve got my eyes on their MKG but I like the Showa monsters more and don’t see any

Kinda starting to wish I got Showa Gigan instead lol

Thought MOGUERA would stand out in my collection more though

[JAGzilla]

I actually just put my own MMS MOGUERA on my shelf a little while ago. It's a really great-looking figure for what it is, so I'd say you made a good choice. I also recommend the Showa Gigan.

[Ultra_Henshin_Fan]

MOGUERA is ok?

Showa Gigan is great, kotm Ghidorah is fantastic, anime Godzilla is great, Biollante and Destroyah are great, Shin is great,..

There's a lot of really good vinyls available. I think once you get more of them MOGUERA wont exactly be a favorite or anything but it's a start.


and I also agree that HobbyLinkJapan is a fantastic place to get Bandai vinyls. I've ordered tons of vinyls from them and never had a problem.

[DirektorSplennic]

I recommend Showcase Daikaiju for some of the older vinyls. Sometimes they don't have a lot in stock, but when they do the prices are always great.
