2013 X-Plus Vinyl Figures Discussion Thread

[kaiju king]

I can't be certain if they did come together in the same box. Didn't really thought to look. But at the time I asked him if he had any Godzillas he wanted to sell and he said he only had one & it was the one with the "spear" through his hand. But he had sold it. He said it was a set so I assumed they came together. I Could be wrong though.

Bought something just recently with a help from a friend. I will post pictures or make a video (depends if I have time) when it arrives...

Hey guys,

I want to ask a quick question to those that have x-plus Godzillas.
How snug does the tail fit to the body of your figure after you've attached the loose tail? I just got my 30cm Bio-Goji and the tail isnt very tight to the figures body and sometimes even moves a tiny bit if I pick the figure up.

Anyone have this issue? If so, is there a way to fix it?

My 30cm '54 Godzilla does that. His tail has a "joint" in the middle of his tail. Sometimes it wiggles and does move when I lift him up. No idea how to fix it though.

Well, it's Wednesday the 9th,12:37 pm and I just got my x-plus king Goji from my postal lady. First thing that struck me right off the bat was the appearance of glow in the dark or light up dorsal fins. And they were bent pretty bad.I looked up through the tail opening to see them a cloudy translucent "like" vinyl. I stuck a small flash light in the tail opening to see if they would light up. The answer is kinda. The second row looks to be glowing when that's done. Must be the paint. Im going to assume for now these will be the same dorsal fins that's going to be used on the light up version. These main dorsal fins are the most flimsy I've see on any figure I can think of. Interested in what others think about it. After applying the hot water trick to my dorsal fins to straightened them out,the very top point of the biggest fin in the middle will not fully straighten. Curious to see if anyone else has this problem. I was going to complain about another g62 in a goofy pose,but after messing with it I found you can twist the feet for a more natural stance. Putting it next to my bandai '62 they appear to be almost the same height. Bandais is a bit more bulkier whereas the x-plus has better details and a longer tail. If I wasn't such a lameass I would post pics.......but! Go ahead and say it.


The figure looks pretty awesome otherwise.

I got my 1962 Godzilla today. I think it looks way better than the preview images. Really, really nice.

[kaiju king]

I think the promo pics were real accurate. I think if you like the the pics that were put your going to be real happy with this figure. Hey Jon,were your dorsal fins bent at all?

[Jon]

Slightly, but I think that's movie accurate for this suit. They're much softer than the 1968 Godzilla's fins.

[kaiju king]

No. Not mine. They were bent all in the same direction. Leaning way over.After I heated them up they went back to there original position. Loving this fig tho.

[GCrusher]

I'm interested in standing this new 62 along side the 62 Bandai Museum. I choose SAL shipping so I won't get mine for another week or so. Anyone else have both? How do they look comparred to one another?

[kaiju king]

Ya. I'd like to see that also. '62 museum is really nice. I never did pick that one up. How about the x-plus/bandai museum/& standard bandai along side one another. Gcrusher how much cheaper is the SAL delivery than the EMS? I thought about using that method but didn't know how reliable it was.

Oh ya I got pictures of those display cases you asked about on photobucket. Tomorrow I'm going to try and post them here.

Brad you knew this was coming, which is why it didn't make the most wanted X-Plus 2013 poll, right?
The 75MG appears to be 25cm, so well will probably see a 25cm Titano soon.

Maybe we'll see a 1975 25cm G where the exclusive comes with MG's head!

Together, the X-Plus line up of Godzilla 1962. The most recent 25cm is on the left, the Bandai Museum X-Plus is in the center and the 30cm X-Plus is on the right.

G62Family by GCrusher, on Flickr
My G62 family. XP30cm, XP25cm, BM25cm, Bandai MBox, some gashapon figure.

Today I my X-Plus 25cm 62 Godzilla came in the mail and I took a couple pictures.
I too have that problem where I cannot post directly into the threads, instead have to post to Flickr first and then grab a code.

From the photos you can see the differences that are most obvious. Whenever I look at the 62 G I crave cookies. Can anyone else see the cookie monster in him?

My take on the bunch in order from left to right in the top photo:

The 25cm X-Plus
Nice overall.
Nails are most accurate of the three. No blood like on the BM figure. Not left unpainted or hardly painted if you call it paint, like the 30cm painted.
Good face sculpt.
Good body proportions.

The 25cm Bandai Museum
Bulkier than the 25cm X-Plus.
Stoops forward.
Head, hands and toes seem a bit exaggerated (large) compared to the new 25cm G62.
Has more of a green hue to the overall suit than the other two. Good.
Has a wider body, like too much girth/width.
Lacks light color spray/color on the later portion of the tail that the other two have.

The 30cm X-Plus
Bigger, badder, better. I like it the best because of the size. Otherwise I think the 25cm is a better overall figure.
I like the spray on the chest that denotes dirt.
Lacks detail in spray on the toenails.
Hands are webbed, as it looks like X-Plus got lazy.

Can't really tell, but does the Goji 62' fit in scale with the APES King Kong 62'?

[GCrusher]

The Bandai Museum is the exact height. The new XPLUS 62 doesn't stoop like the BM 62, so it's slightly taller.

[king_ghidorah]

I think the BM figure looks signifigantly better than the 25cm X Plus...though the 30 cm is still King of them all! Nice 62 Goji collection though, it's my favorite design of Godzilla. I have all of them except the new 25cm one.

[ZillaMaster91]

Now I am starting to feel less regret for not buying the 25cm Godzilla '62.
The white paint on his bumps, starting on top of his head, just irritates me.

[king_ghidorah]

I think the face looks horrible as well. Just bad all around.
