SH Monsterarts!

Meh my Kaiyodo G89 looks more like G89 then that $70 toy. It's nice, but I dont like the eyes.

[Captain Aktion]

It's not the 89 suit.

It's not the 89 suit.

It should be.

I still say the prices won't be quite that high. Especially if you know where and how to buy things like this. Also, if they're any where around the size of Ultra-Act kaiju, then the price is pretty much on par. Again, if you haven't held, say, U-A Gomora, then you can't quite get that these are going to be pretty hefty hunks of plastic. They aren't hollow vinyl, and that plastic comes at a price. Also, if these are more in the line of SH Figuarts, then I imagine the joints will be of a higher quality than the U-A's. I'm nothing but excited, and this is plenty of time to set aside money for these...

^^^Where did you pre-order it at???

I've never had an Ultra-Act or SH Figuarts figure before, so this'll be a first for me. If I like them I'll probably end up getting them all. I hope the releases after Godzilla and Mechagodzilla are a little more spaced out though. for my wallet's sake.

No, I do.

[Captain Aktion]

^This confuses me.

Fairy Mothra, have you ordered from Toyfreakz before? I'm thinking of just getting it out of the way and going with them, but I kinda want to keep my ear to the ground for maybe a better deal at a site I've used and trust.

I can't wait to set this guy up against my Revoltechs and my U-A's.
I don't think that Angy is going to look too out of proportion, especially since we've never seen him paired up against the Heisei suit.
Gigan is probably a lost cause, but Rodan, funnily enough will probably be about the right size for Fire Rodan.
Mothra, well, she'll be Mothra, haha, I don't mind her fluctuating.
I don't have Moguera, so I can't say, but I'll definitely be able to set up a cool Godzilla vs. Gomora shot, and, come to think of it, there's someone around here that would probably interest...

I don't know where or how to buy things like this and like I said, I'm a cheap bastard. It's not so much that it's expensive in itself as much that I have poor money management skills and probably won't have $70 in pleasure money at the time of release. Lots of birthdays come up near the holidays in my family.

But as someone who seems to buy a lot of these types of toys, do the prices go up quickly or will they hover around the same price for a while? I'm curious whether I'll have a chance to pick this up later on or whether waiting a few months will just make them more expensive.

^With something like this that is getting an even bigger release than the Revoltechs I predict that the price will hover in a steady range for a while.
I haven't been in the game for a long time mind you, just spent a mint on it, so I may not know what I'm talking about here; But I'll say this, the Revoltechs prices haven't moved much in the time they've been out. The Ultra-Acts prices have stayed pretty consistent, with a few exceptions (Hayata b/f the reissue, Ultraseven, Eleking, and Gomora).
Neither of those lines have had as wide a release as these figures, so I imagine supplies will be kept up, at least for awhile.

Hard to say, though. These babies are going to fly off the shelves, I assure you...

Thanks. If that's the case I might save up and go for one of em in 2012. I worry a lot about price-jumps since lately they've been rather unpredictable - the huge jump in BC's took me by massive surprise. I'm someone who doesn't stick his head out of my neck of the woods collecting-wise (6" Bandai figures) too often

[Captain Aktion]

I'm just wondering if they will be available to pre-order through Amazon? Does anybody know? They usually give great discounts and I have a CC with them...

[zilla103192]

All the kaiju revoltechs are on Amazon.

So I am predicting these guys will be.

[JVM]

Found this at Club Tokyo forums:


Also the prices are down and up a bit. Godzilla's $65 now and MechaGodzilla's $75 or $85 IIRC

[zilla103192]

Where is Burning Goji

And that SpaceG is sexy!

[wataru]

The more I see this figs, the less I want one. I dont like how pink Gojis gums area..

[Gojisan866]

Only $70? Good deal. I may have to get these.

[wataru]

Only $70? Good deal. I may have to get these.

Im sorry, $70 is not a good deal. Not when Revs before them were < $30.

They need to be capped at $39.99

The Revoltechs are a lot smaller though, and from what I hear, these are probably going to be much more solid and heavy figures. I like the posability of the Revoltechs, but I don't like how small and light they are. I have Rodan and Baragon and I probably wouldn't buy any more of them.

also, the Revoltechs aren't less than $30. they're usually around $40. $70 is a lot for a toy, but if they turn out to be better quality than the Revoltechs, that and the size will make it worth it to me, personally. I also really like the sculpts on Heisei Goji and SpaceGodzilla.

[wataru]

Revoltechs here Ive seen - Evangelion units, Macross, Giant Robo have been $14.99 - $29.99.

Where do you buy them? I've never seen the kaiju ones online for less than around $40 (even if they're a couple bucks less, shipping makes them around $40 anyway). I've never looked for any of the others though.
