X-Plus keeps turning them out, and they all look great.
I was hoping for the Gamera figures to be in the 30cm line though. At least the classics in that scale.

Zigra and Barugon would be huge. Just not feasible. Showa Gamera items typically don't sell very well. Sad but true.GCrusher wrote:X-Plus keeps turning them out, and they all look great.

It seems that they are doing all the characters in the 25 cm scale now. It kinda bugs me that I just recently paid a lot for the 30 cm Gorosaurus. But you win some and you lose some.
BUT..I do hope they re-do The Gargantuas in the smaller scale.

I'm with ya Frank. I hate having a mish-mash of both sizes. I want to stick to the 30cm size but not at the cost of not getting certain figures. It's frustrating.GCrusher wrote:X-Plus keeps turning them out, and they all look great.

Re: 2013 X-Plus Vinyl Figures Discussion Thread
I only like the Megaguirus out of all of those, but I'd rather see these...
King Caesar (Final Wars)
Orochi (Heisei)
Hedorah (Final Wars)
Biollante Final Form (In her angry derooted, running pose)

I hope they don't go on a Gamera run and forget about Godzilla. Though I have found memories of the early Gamera foes.
The Legion figure is cool but I think Iris and Gyaos aren't terribly interesting.

Out of all the Gamera villains (showa or Heisei) Barugon and Showa Gyaos are the only ones that I am interested in buying.

Re: 2013 X-Plus Vinyl Figures Discussion Thread
I personally don't think so. I think they released 30cm exclusively for so long, they're producing just as many 25cm now all at one time to catch-up. Once there's an even balance, I'm confident we'll see the return of the 30cm line.g robot wrote:Do anybody think that xplus is finish with 30 cm figures?

By my count, they've had about 28 25cm releases since 2008 and 36 30cm releases. After another 8 releases, it'll be even steven.

The thing about Iris, is that I don't know how they could improve upon the X Plus figure that already exists.
The Legion figure is pretty good too. I know they could improve upon that one, but the cost-to-improvement ration probably means that you really don't need to pick up a new Legion figure if you already own the old one. I love the Hyper Gyaos design, but between the Sega and X Plus figures an X Plus one would be pointless.
Really, the Showa era is the only Gamera era that's worth making figures of. The early X-Plus figures are kinda sub-par and could use some improvement. Strange, cause the X Plus Ultra Q figures from the same era are pretty much spot-on.

Re: 2013 X-Plus Vinyl Figures Discussion Thread
No legion1979 ,got my gorosaurus & varan also. About 20 minutes ago. The gorosaurus looks pretty badass. I'm not minding the glassy eyed look,gives depth to the eye itself. I understand about the "zombie look",although I disagree but they could use a little more detail in the retina part. Its bigger than the bandai museum gorosaurus in every aspect except the tail length. I thought the bandai museum one was a good match for the 25cm line of x-plus figures, not no more though. The varan is my most disappointing figure to date IMO. The three horn protruding from either side of the cheeks are to bright,I can fix that though The tail is my biggest disappointment. The seam that's almost halfway through the tail is just awful. Why is it there? What the point? I can fix it but shouldn't have to for this amount of money. God I would love to talk to whoever makes the final decision on these things. Maybe there's logic that I'm just not seeing,in there decisions.

To legion1979: thanks for answering my question without disdain. The reason I asked was that they look to be the same size other than that of the tail. Must be the angle of the shot. The pic of gorosaurus/Angillas/minya/& Godzilla just shows what the collection is shaping up to look like....frigging awesome!
