SH Monsterarts!

[tymon]

Legion is right..regardless of how technical you want to get, the Toho Revoltech monsters/mechs are most commonly associated with the Godzilla series by pretty much everyone. Sorry RKZ, but that's a pretty dumb argument.

I love this line, and have also always wanted a super articulated Godzilla line since I was a kid. But goddamn, even I'm getting a little annoyed by the rabid SH fanboys lately.

The only monsters, not counting SotC. that have 100+ votes are... In order from last to first:

Godzilla (Showa), Adult Destoroyah & Gamera, Jet Jaguar, and Biollante. Quite an interesting result so far. I figured some of the Millennium monsters would be higher up.

How does this silly meme even make sense here? I LIKE the MonsterArts figures.

Locked.

Since the good old SHM thread finally got locked, I was quite desperate about my future here on this forum for I mostly came here because of the old SHM topic (OK, including ULTRA-ACT, too) on a near dayly basis. I seldomly post in any non-merchandise topics (even barely in non-toy topics), because I feel like I don't have much to contribute in there, since I feel like most everything has been said about the movies, etc. I have them all and I enjoy them every once in a while. I am, however, a hardcore BANDAI collector (I must own somewhere between 900 and 1.000 figures), so I want to talk about this kind of stuff. And since I'm in love with the S.H.MonsterArts figures for a variety of reasons (which not everybody might share), I really thought about getting inactive here on TK or even leave, for like 80% of my reason to come here was gone with the SHM thread being locked. Thus I simply needed to open a new SHM topic to discuss and freak out about anything this line may still have in the bag. However, it's a shame that a 200+ pages figure thread, that has grown so big in just over one year, needed to be killed off, anyway.

However, first I wasn't sure whether to take the risk to start a new SHM thread or better let it be. I was like calling the new thread "S.H.MonsterTards" to produce a humorous context in contrast to the previous drama, but I think it wouldn't have played out too well in the end. Then I was like making two threads: "S.H.MonsterArts (for objectivists)" and "S.H.MonsterArts (for fanboyz)" to ensure nobody gets offended again for the users who need all rational debates don't need to look into the "fanboyz going nuts" thread - and vice versa. Well, wouldn't probably have payed out either, so I went for "2.0" instead and I hope everyone is fine with it. Well, this new one might probably still be locked again right away or maybe I'm getting warned for allowing the old drama story to possibly continue (or both). But... so be it. We'll see. Let's experiment. But not without the following set of holy rules:

1.) No drama!
2.) If anybody does fanboy talk: let him/her do so. It's allowed to be and act like a totally freaked-out fanboy. These figures are great!
3.) If anybody does criticise sth., etc.: let him/her do so. It's allowed to have controversy and an objective pov. SHM legitimately isn't the god of toys for everybody!
4.) If you feel like you need to answer somebody in a manner that could in any possibility cause drama: kick yourself and don't answer - even if it bugs you.
5.) If you absolutely can't keep from getting personal: we got the PM button for a reason. Fight your rhetoric duels in intimate togetherness.
6.) NO friggin' DRAMA!!!

This goes to everybody, no individuals shall be accused of anything. At least I will try my best to post under these rules for myself. I hope everybody else can apply to these rules too, so this thread can live and prevail from now on. Otherwise: be so kind not to post here. Thanks!

The above sounds fair.

Let this be a fresh new start.

If a higher-up felt it was necessary to lock the first thread for the time being, I have a feeling it's probably not a good idea to take it upon yourself to create a new one mere hours after it was locked. That should be a mod's job. Probably should also be a mod's job to lay down the rules of the thread.

[TokyoVigilante]

As I understood it, the thread is being locked only for a week and will probably be unlocked Friday.

Even if that isn't the case, opening a thread for the same purpose as a closed thread the same day as the originals closing would be an administrative decision

Any other Mod. can unlock this if I've made the wrong call.

I'm not sure what to do about you guys and this thread.
