It's technically a repaint though, and kind of gets disqualified for this.
Repaints are allowed, the Bandai vinyls for example are eligible even though they're 20+ year old molds.
Ohhhhh I read "reissue" as "repaint". My bad!


Edit: Wait..."- Straight reissues. This means things like the Diamond X-PLUS releases which are not unique figures for 2018. SHMA repaints and the Bandai vinyl repaints fall under this category."

SHMA Repaints fall under this category. This reads like it falls under the category that gets it disqualified.
I really have to stop copy/pasting things without editing them. -_- :lol:

I think you’re misreading.

:)
Did you edit it or am I going insane? Cause either one seems like a possibility.
I edited it. That was a joking reply.

Does the Shinigawa Battle SHMA Kiryu count because it has new parts and such?

I'll nominate S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2002 since it hasn't been mentioned before. It's right up there with SHMA Rebirth Godzilla as my favorite pieces I own.

I'm also nearsighted, which means that I see things up close CRYSTAL-clear, which means I can point out details & differences like the guy who sculpted the item. So, forgive me if there's only a handful of folks in these forums whose opinion I put on a par with MINE...

Yes, all the SHMA repaints count. They are not direct reissues of old molds.

Mezco 7" King Kong of Skull Island

I think it fits all the criteria for a nominee, and is the BEST Kong since SHMA's years ago...

Dang X Plus Death Ghidorah was this year? I need to change my vote to that!
I wish I owned it but alas... In regards to what I did buy it was a toss up between Kiryu and Godzilla Earth from SHMA. Since I know there was some good deals on Kiryu I gave him the nod, I overlooked Death Ghidorah in the brackett however.
