:shock: I take that as a yes.

Amazon had it, but because I'm a nice guy you can check it out it just costs $130 it went up 10 bucks.

Hurry you fool, you can get one for $120 without shipping or the $130 one only 8 left in stock.

The type of figure that'll get you sleeping on the couch in no time because your spouse will think you bought a second identical G'91.

There are major differences but you be the judge.

Wow the 92 is much thinner. And the dorsal plates start farther up the back. What do you think Green?

Yeah its like the '91 suit went on a diet. The chest appears bigger on the '91 than the '92 is my first thought. You can see more of the eyes and they look like sparkling marbles. Also you appreciate the closed mouth a little bit more this time because he is looking straight. Other than that, I really wished Sakai chosed another pose. 8.5 from me.

Anyone interested in a X-Plus Grand King? - *cough*

Since they showed off some new sculpts, wonder if they are going to show off the X-Plus Mechagodzilla 93' again?

The MG93 was delayed. No word on when it will hit.

Seems about right in length. Though the - hmm - correct word here...the "height" could be shortened by a hair but its nothing to drastic.

Thanks for the pics Ill Green,

Is it just me or the new 92 is not as good as the proto pics posted on the X-plus website ??
Maybe is the angle but although I prefer the 92 suit, the 91 figures looks much better on your pics.

MAJOR EDIT December 15, (not allowed to double post so ..)

3 years ago : A bad SHMA KG, returned to Japan. (no cost thanks to Hobby Link Japan) :(
2 years ago : A complete disaster from X-Plus in the form of KG 1968 with 2 broken heads (repairable) and a warped leg (unrepairable)
return to Japan at my expense, thanks to Ami Ami who sent the box as is with the label slapped directly on the monster's box and thanks to X-Plus for an horrible package with low protection. :mad:
1½ year ago : I tried my luck on eBay on a super deal for another X-Plus KG original run. 2 days later the seller cancelled the sale ......... :shock:
Today : FINALLY the wait is over, a magnificent KG 68 with no flaw out of the box arrived at my home..........praise the Lord :D

Serious foam protection and soft horns for the 2.0 Bluefin version :

Image

KG 68 in all is glory :

With his friends for a vintage recreation :

I now have 10 DAM monsters, only Kumonga is missing.
I also have the flying Varan version somewhere in a box, but I keep the crawling version on display (even thought is not film accurate)

Yes, I followed your scary dilemma. Made me feel bad for getting KG mint like I did, but now I feel better :D

The box is bigger too and layered in foam, Xplus learned.

I'll have to look at my KG, but something is different with the posing of the necks, it could just be my elusive memory.

Thanks for your support Ill !!
Maybe I should have started an ''X-Plus victim foundation'' to collect some relief $$ :D
Jokes apart, we 're all serious collectors here and you probably had the right idea about my feelings in this situation.
A nasty X-Plus episode, but since they have a monopoly around high end Toho figures and I usually I love them very much, the page has been turned.

I found a nice place with Destroyah for my new KG :

Image

BTW Destroyah was a hell of a deal last year at around $200 compared to KG (2 big and complex figures)

A couple of fun random shots of my recent stuff (G73 and Kyriu):

Now I'm looking forward to G84, G91 reissue and the brand new uppcoming 95

Godzilla bursts from the ground, killing the 3 pilots. Godzilla will then battle his newest opponent...

Yes was finally able to nab a Godzilla 84! The Diamond reissue of course. Finally a great figure of one of my favorite suits!

What's the best Godzilla 1962 out there you'd recommend? Thinking about caving in and getting one.
