If you in US I think overall with shipping Awesome Collector is only $8 more.ApexOversteer wrote:RIC site has the Mothra'19 for $97.53...

Pretty sure the 25cm Gamera '99 reissue is a RIC Exclusive, and there won't be a standard version of the battle damage Gammy...
... AND WHERE THE HELL IS THE FRIGGIN' IRIS THEY TEASED OVER A YEAR AGO?!?
I think the only real option close to X-Plus in stature and quality is the recent RotoKaiju "Giant Gorilla" soft vinyl model kit... and I *think* it's pretty much sold out and it was pretty spendy in the first place...Cookson wrote:Anyone know where I can get a statue(painted)or vinyl of King King from the 1962 film that’s comparable to xplus? I’m just about tired of waiting for a xplus figure of him and want to treat myself this Christmas.
Yeah, X-Plus sets a production run for the RICs, and then sets the pre-order period, with the idea that the pre-order window should close just as the production run is sold out. From what I understand, any leftovers are then sold at the various conventions and toy shows at the X-Plus booth.Sachiel wrote:What the heck? I just checked the USA X-Plus Ric site and the new re-release for Shin Godzilla 4th form is sold out? What!? I thought they said the pre-order period lasts until December 25th? Arent preorders taken on the ric site made to order? Thats how the Goodsmile Company website operates....
I went for the clear Shin myself...nekromantik wrote:anyone else getting the RIC Mothra?
Shin does look good but I got a soft spot for the Mothra from KOTM! hahaApexOversteer wrote:I went for the clear Shin myself...nekromantik wrote:anyone else getting the RIC Mothra?
I know a few people got notices and then it arrived the same day. RIC US site is kind of funky with getting shipping notices outSteel Hellkite wrote:I got a notification from the Ric USA store that the Ric gigantic 2019 are starting to ship. I am truly excited now.

Are you gonna post a video review of it by any chance? If not can we expect some high res photosSteel Hellkite wrote:I got a notification from the Ric USA store that the Ric gigantic 2019 are starting to ship. I am truly excited now.

I will definitely get some pictures shortly. It showed up today and the leg was broken off of it. Little bit of model glue fixed it right up though. The spines are folded over a bit excessively, and gaps in the tail segments are pretty rediculous. That may largely be due to softer translucent material though. Of all my xplus figures it's certainly the most fixing I've had to do to one upon arrival. That said it is very impressive to look at. The blue highlights really pop with dimmer lighting. Brighter light pretty much overwhelms the effect though. However, the spines. Holy moly the spines. They are gorgeous. This is the best representation of the on screen appearance I've seen in physical form. I do kind of wish the wash they did on the ric was darker though. It looks exactly the same to me as the standard. While that is an incredible look, I think it's best on the standard form. This one should have been darker to further accentuate the blue highlights.ultrazilla wrote:Are you gonna post a video review of it by any chance?

, also do you have the Standard too? Would be greatly appreciated if you do a side by side comparison, cheers!.
SHHHHHHHH! Hush! Zip It! Some of us are TRYING to ignore that fact.Tyrant_Lizard_King wrote:Hobby Search still has them in stock for those still hoping to get one.
... and if you want the RIC, email Jason over at Awesome Collector, it looks like he still has spots left...Tyrant_Lizard_King wrote:Hobby Search still has them in stock for those still hoping to get one.
Thanks for the photos, they're beautiful. Man I so want a Ric now, the more I see their pics the more I want it. Such a shame they only do limited amount of unitsSteel Hellkite wrote:Sorry, I don't have the standard. The weather was actually ok today so I got some pics. Only 2 came out though.

I already messaged him, but he said he's not sure if he's guaranteed to get more in, but yeah he'll let me know if he gets stock.ApexOversteer wrote:... and if you want the RIC, email Jason over at Awesome Collector, it looks like he still has spots left...Tyrant_Lizard_King wrote:Hobby Search still has them in stock for those still hoping to get one.
