You missed the joke. Though, you'll be surprised by how many people think Sakai sculpted the MA or how many people say, "If only the original creator was on the project, it would look better."

But, he was the one who founded SHMA. He is basically the Yahweh of S.H. Monster Arts. So, the failure of Shin Godzilla is his ultimately his fault. Just like you blame God whenever you seen an ugly person.godzilla1541 wrote: But Sakai didn't sculpt the Monsterarts

Anyway, have we talked about our top 5 favorite figures of the 6 inch/MMS line? Mine would have to be
1. Gigan '72 (My favorite monster )
2. Godzilla '74
3. Titanosaurus
4. MechaG '75
5. G2K 2016 Rerelease
Also, has anyone noticed that some figures look a bit cartoony? I was looking at my shelf and specifically Anguirus '68, Heisei Godzilla, and Spacegodzilla look weirdly cartoonish, especially Anguirus. Most figures of the line look as accurate as a 6 inch vinyl can get, but some don't capture the likeness just right and look off.

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
It's mostly the 80's to mid 90's releases that look a bit off, which all the ones you mentioned are (though they've been rescaled and rereleased countless times). Compare their first '84 to the Box version, for example.
Unfortunately, a lot of the Heisei figures look a bit off because of the difference in experience compared to most of the rest of the figures.
As for my favorites...
1. Godzilla 1974
2. MechaGodzilla 1975
3. Godzilla 1954
4. Godzilla 2000 ('16)
5. Keizer Ghidorah
Might have to rearrange that if it were a five best, though.

I'm not freaked out by that, some online sources suggested a 12/22 date for re-release, which means a few weeks before BBTS gets stock from overseas, some shipments take nearly a month if by boat.

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
So, I got a cousin who's going to be studying abroad in Japan. I don't know if the MMS or MKS figures are still available, but I asked him to pick me up one if he sees them in stores. NOW... Question. I like both of these figures... A lot. And I want to ask him to grab me both if he can, but I don't want him to spend too much time going out of his way for this, because it's his trip. So... Between the two, which one should I emphasize more importance over: MKS or MMS??

I'd get the MMS - we have more options to fill in the size slot for MKS.

Go for MMS; there's a lot more variety. As of right now, MKS consists of only Godzilla 2004, Kiryu, Shin Godzilla and technically Godzilla 2014 (though he's not overseas).

MMS are easier to carry and have more variety, so possibly those for that reason. In terms of Shin Gojira related stuff (if that's what you're looking for), the tadpole forms are available in that line as well.

It's $30 + shipping but that's a pretty good deal to me, I got mine for this price from these guys and I think it's worth every penny.godzilla1541 wrote:So is there any place that I could find the MMS Shin for under 30 or am I too late and there all gone

Forgive me for asking a silly question but what are Bandai Premium figures? Are they essentially X-Plus?

Depends on the Bandai subline - what figure are you talking about?bczilla91 wrote:Forgive me for asking a silly question but what are Bandai Premium figures? Are they essentially X-Plus?
Normally for vinyl figures, Premium figures are normally better painted with better (or metallic) colors and released in a nice and sexy box. Another loose term that is partly correct is "Bandai Premium Webshop" - which is an item that can only be bought on Bandai's Premium Webshop page.

New images for the Universal Studios Shin Exclusive. It's a bit disappointing in that the spines don't appear to be fully translucent. The purple looks really good, and seems to be metallic. I'm still gonna pick this guy up on eBay. I found the image in a Youtube video, I have no idea where it originates.

They're all gone now. Most are $40+. Showcase Daikaiju has the 4th form for around $39 shipped, and the 2nd and 3rd forms for about one or two dollars less.godzilla1541 wrote:So is there any place that I could find the MMS Shin for under 30 or am I too late and there all gone
