^I dunno, it's not like they're Gashopons or anything. Sure, they're on the smaller side, but the only one that seems conspicuously so is Gamera, but it's such a fantastic sculpt and paint job, I could care less about his size. I love my giant Goji's as much as the next guy, but I personally feel that there's room for both and these are WAAAAY too cool of figures for me to pass up. Plus, because of their jointing system, which is what makes this line even exist, they really can't make the figures much bigger than they already have. The heavier they get and the longer the limbs get then the more and more fragile they will become.
I know people say they're prone to breakage, but I don't get that. I haven't had even a fear that I might've broken one of them, let alone ever actually done it. And I mess around with and repose them all the time, so it's not like I treat them like Faberge eggs. I mean, Bandai Moguera's antennae are way more fragile than Revolt Moguera's. I dunno, I like Bandai's as much as the next guy, but when it comes to a roughly 6" scaled, say, Anguirus...? Revolt, in my estimation, has them over a barrel there. Anguirus is beautiful, actually can be posed, and is just a hair under that 6". The Revolt even looks pretty decent standing next to 6" Bandai's.

(Sorry it's so blurry, but this was the best pic for the job at the moment)

And, just as an illustration of how I think that even if a scale is a little off, it can still work and help to further reinforce the character traits. Titano is the towering grunt, Angy the smaller scrapper, etc.

If they ever made a Gamera 3 one I would because I highly doubt they'd make a monsterarts for him.
Also wouldn't mind owning mothra either it looks really pretty with the colors.

Speaking of Mothra how about some mothra figures.

(Bad) Legion photos taken. Gimme a minute to upload...

Actually, a half hour.

EDIT: Sorry 'bout that, folks! Nature called collect, and as you should know, that's one call where you get charged MORE for not answering than when you do answer it!.... I'm sick :(

But, anyway, hope this helps! Angled, but... Best I could do at the time.

The Revolts aren't small- its just that the Ultra Act kaiju are exceptionally humongo. Gigan, Legion and Baragon don't look half bad next to MA Mechagodzilla and Godzilla.

I didn't mean only revoltech mothra I just mean any in general.

Still revoltech mothra looks very nice. The colors and detail~

^ The eyes on the Revoltech Mothra look even better in person. They have a sort of two-level effect that give them more definition than any other representation.

I'd like some good pictures of the Bandai Movie Monsters Heisei Godzilla.

^ Like I said before, I only own the glow version (you can see the glowinging shot here: http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9133&p=315244#p315244). I love this sludgy bastard. He's like a toxic Easter egg!

This is just for size comparison against some Bandai 8" and 6" figures.

I was wondering if someone could post a photo showing the scale between a Marmit Vinyl Paradise Godzilla 1954 with that of any standard Bandai 8" figure. I have a Vinyl Paradise Goji '54 coming in the mail and I'm making shelf room before it arrives. If anyone could post a photo it'll be appreciated!

I would like to see some High Grade figures (don't really care which ones) compared with the Pack of Destruction figures, for a comparison of scale and quality.

Though I cannot provide pics (no HG's in my possession), High Grades are bigger and have way more detail. That simple. In side by side comparison the POD figure are crappier.

They do. The high grade, or gashapon figures, dont follow any certain wide-set scale. As far as the Pack of Destruction is concerned, some of the figures are actually much nicer than their Japanese counterparts (as vinyl madness demonstrates). Others, however, are sub par.
