The eyes on Caesar and Kumonga look perfect.

Ouch! I had no intention to spend what it will take to get the online exclusive, until I saw that modified base.

The Ric-Boy base for Kumonga reminds me of fried eggs. XD

I hope an actual Kamacuras figure will be included in the 25cm line someday. It's definitely a shoe-in now considering that Godzilla '67 (and Minilla), and Kumonga '67 are now included. I'm not interested in Albatross' figure. It's sculpted out of polystone and I am afraid that'll be SUPER fragile. Vinyl all the way!

Anyways, I just got my 30cm Godzilla 2004 this morning! Check out my review: http://kaijuplanet.blogspot.com/2013/06 ... eries.html

Just saw Caesar on Ebay, goddamn that figure is breathtaking! Not a big Caesar fan but that figure is fantastic!

Yeah, Ceesar is getting alot of love. I'm not a big fan of this Kaiju either, but I'll probably still buy this figure.

I think one of those temple lions/dogs, they have a name but it escapes me at the moment.

Ok I finally pulled the trigger and ordered both King Seesar and Komunga. I decided that I didn't need either exclusive so instead reserved them through Hobby Search. Anyone getting the exclusives?

Good man! You won't be sorry. ;-)

I'm getting the exclusives. I wanted the webbed-up Kamakiras base and since I was getting that, decided to go for the alternate ears KC as well. I don't really care about the idol so much.

This may sound insane, but I may try to heat up the ears on King Seesar and see if I could reposition them to point upward. I would have to be gentle and clamp them in place for some time. Just a thought.

I'm snagging the exclusives. The exclusives on the 25cm figures seem to interest me more than the exclusives on the 30cm figs.

They are cool, I'll admit that. Though I don't recall a webbed Kamacarus in SOG so the exclusive while cool I don't see it as necessary. Still, props to XPlus for coming up with something, as sometimes the exclusive are must haves for me. Though the exclusive they should have made with Komunga should have been a webbed up Minya.

XPlus needs to listen to my rants and wishes more often ;)

In the film, Kumonga subdued one of the Kamacuras with his web, then killed it with his poisonous bite. So the exclusive is definitely accurate...

It would be cool if an X-plus rep that speaks English joined the facebook group. But he'd probably think that we're a bunch of wackos as we flooded him with our demands, LoL!

I wouldn't be surprised if someone there has viewed this fan thread.

X-Plus has provided high-res images and product specs for their July giant monster figures.

And, to confirm what ebirahsmeg1 posted, the webbed-up Kamakiras is in SON OF GODZILLA. The X-Plus exclusive got that right.

Someone needs to do their homework. :lol:

While the RicBoy Exclusives for both figures look great, I'll be sticking to standards as always.
