Just purchased Mecha-King Ghidorah and Godzilla Earth and had them sent to my private warehouse, where I already have Biollante and Kiryu waiting. Probably will wait until I get paid to have them shipped over and may pick up at least one of the Mothras while I'm at it if they're still available.

What exactly is this item? I never saw it before? A translucent Burning Godzilla?

I believe it's a chase figure from the latest High Grade gashapon set released for Planet of the Monsters.

It's the Meltdown Burning Godzilla gashapon from the Planet of the Monsters set. You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Gashapon- ... ref=plSrch

Is the Godzilla 1995 from last year the actual Bandai Japan mold or a repaint of the BC Version?

Anyway, I hope we get some more surprise MMS vinyls. A Godzilla '02/03 or a Battra Imago would be great.

It is the original MMS figure, yes.

Either of those would be nice.

Thanks!!! Got it. Seems safer than going the ebay route.

so happy, finally shipped my HLJ order. Been waiting for Mecha King Ghidorah to come in.

I have heavy arms Mecha Godzilla, Biollante, King Ghidorah, Mecha King Ghidorah, Mothra, plus the three SHF Akibarangers on the way.

Really excited! Can't wait to see Biollante in person.

I'm trying to build up my vinyls collection. Kinda re-started the whole thing with MMS Shin, MMS Kaiju-A and MMS Kaiju-B. Then, Heavy Arms MGIII and the new Bio were too nice to pass up. Also have a few Marmit ParaBabies too. It's an inexpensive thing to do in between releases from more-expensive lines, like SHMA...

Some in-hand images of MKG, anime Goji, Mothra Larva and Imago.

And to no one's surprise, the underside of Mothra's wings remain unpainted. *sigh* why do I even bother?

I never even thought of Mothra's wings being painted on the underside. Even the original release from 2005 came that way already. However, a picture of Mothra '92 on the tag of a Mothra '04/05 figure...? Really BANDAI? An actual Mothra '92 FIGURE would've been nice, yes.

And Godzilla Earth has a pic of that “Mechagodzilla“ city thing on his tag. Interesting...

I mean, you'd think since they bothered to repaint the antennae, they do the same for the wings as well? ....Laziness at its finest I guess.

I just love that they're trying to sell it with the tag as Heisei Mothra when it's CLEARLY Millennium colors.

It's not the first time Bandai put the wrong version of a kaiju on the tag. For instance, the 68 Godzilla vinyl had the 73 Godzilla on the tag.
Well, that's certainly a thing.

Yah but both the larva and imago have The Heisei iterations on their tags. This is a blatant attempt to get out of making an actual Heisei imago Vinyl

finally got my Biollante, MechaGoji, Mothra, King Ghidorah and Mecha King Ghidorah in from HLJ.

LOVE THEM!!

I don't know if it's just the price points being low, but I really love the Bandai Vinyls. The Necas and the SHM's being more expensive I guess I'm more critical of them, but so far I've loved every Bandai Vinyl I've gotten. ( 11 so far in total, and every one of them I really enjoy owning )
