I regret hesitating on that guy! But I've spent plenty lately. xD Looks great, Cimm.

Wow, I didn't realize it had sold out already. Glad I didn't wait.

Just got off work and came home to find...this guy.

I'll let the pictures do the talking from here...

Eh, a little dusty...

Now here comes the fun part...

Such an amazing piece of vinyl. Worth every cent and then some. Even the pictures aren't really doing the guy any justice...

Sorry for all the photos, but I tried to make them worth looking at. Back to admiring the Hell out of it...

Ya know, that figure gets some flak for the way the mouth is done, but otherwise it really captures the suit's face very well. Nice score!

^Well...you could have the mouth closed, the mouth open and with very brittle teeth, or you can have a "filled" mouth such as this. It's not always successful, but when you're looking at this figure in person (at least at the angle I am currently sitting), it's not a very big detail. I think this is one of the better looking figures to do this style, really...

Really nice, Cap. I almost bought that one off ebay but I got f***** out of FW Anguirus and I didn't want to risk a second sniping. The filled in mouth is a bit goofy, but it's the only flaw IMO.

Got back from work two days ago, and the SH Monsterarts Garuda that I ordered from Clawmark finally arrived.

^Thanks!

I have the mantle as well, buuuuut...well, I've got huge reservations about it right now. The connector piece is kind of a nerve wracking nightmare to put in and remove...I feel like I'm either going to break the figure or the mantle, one or the other every time. And you know I've been vocal about not having any "delicacy" issues with my Revolts or any other figures...

I know how you feel. I hold my breath when I mess around with my Mechagodzilla's extra parts.

Speaking of Mechagodzilla ( Something I forgot to mention ) I recently brought the GD-98 Chogokin Mechagodzilla and it arrived today. It is brillant. LOVE the spike button on the back of the neck that makes MG's head spin, its a neat feature. The Space Titainum piece is also a nice bonus.

That fig's one of my favorites. Fantastic likeness, and in terms of durability blows away nearly every other SA kaiju fig (The MAs are nice and sturdy at first ut the joints loosen over months of excessive posing), and the accesories are great. Probably my favorite Super articulated figure along with the MA Spacegodzilla.

Durability wise I will agree with you on that. In terms of articulation it is perfect, nice and chunky as well as robotic. Details are outstanding, its as if someone shrunk the suit. Very happy to have it :).
Got it at a decent price of £44 to add.

Shame Chogokin stopped doing Kaiju.
