I have the BC. I'm not impressed with it, especially when I compare it to my Bandai Showa Mechagodzilla or Y-MSF Megalon.
The Bandai Japan figure looks a little better, but not a whole lot. Is there any other company that has done a better figure in the 6" scale??

I prefer soft vinyl all the way, the squishier the better. But still in all, I WILL own that particular Manda one day, no doubt.

What is the best vinyl version of the CLASSIC Manda?

(Speaking of squishy, I really wish that my Kong was softer...he is way too stiff and rigid for my taste...)

Realistic, you can't get any better than the recent X-Plus Manda 1963.

For something more stylish I'm not so sure. I'm not an expert on Manda figures, but Marmit has one that looks pretty nice.

The M1 looks pretty awesome from what I have seen too. I actually prefer it to the Marmit.
It is a simple story. There is nothing that brings me happiness. Be it believing in others or them believe in me, it did not matter.
What others called happiness simply did not bring me joy.

I like my M-1 quite a bit. And thanks for making me realize I don't have a GOOD pic of it...

So are the vintage Rodan and Vintage Gigan figures good stuff? I'm thinking of buying the Rodan one for $30.

Dig the picture and the figure, Adam. I've missed out on this guy several times when bidding. I'd like to own one eventually.

A bit more to the point of the thread...

Please, ZEUS help me if I don't find a Revoltech Rodan and/or Mothra soon at decent prices I'll flip. I've wanted those two figures for a while now but refuse to pay $50-$60 for them.

Any help would be hot.

And I immediately apologize for quoting Jar Jar Binks.

Mosu Goji tends to go for around $40+ on eBay, King Goji usually goes anywhere from $75-$100.

Yeowch, I was afraid of that. Oh well, maybe someday Bandai will give them a regular release.

I would like to know, are Banpresto figures good? I was thinking of buying maybe a Godzilla or Ultraman one.

Thanks Cimmerian. The Godzilla 2000 and an Ultraman from the classic series are the ones I'll be getting, the poses and detail does look pretty good.

They're always on eBay. Like so:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VARAN-Godzilla- ... 141wt_1185
http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Grade-HG-V ... 00wt_1202
Those are the cheapest two right now. I'm sure others will pop up for less if you wait.

And if anyone is looking for this classic set of awesome SDs, I just listed them on the Marketplace:

There's a sleeping Godzilla by Marmit on eBay that I've been looking for. Does anyone know if it originally came with a header card in 2004 or just the plastic bag? The one on eBay is loose, however Club Tokyo doesn't show or mention the figure having come with a header card?
Is this figure comeplete or not?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

- Frank
