Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations discussion

[TokyoVigilante]

Bandais retail for $15 now? That's a crime! I just found the box for Burning Godzilla (apparently I kept it), the KB Toys sticker saying $6.99 on it.

Mine are in Canadian prices.

I still don't see why '89 is more special than '91 or later Heisei incarnations besides being a little slimmer, all I'm saying. It's not a bad suit at all but these days it's really become the most popular by a landslide.

I'd like BC to try taking advantage of Bandai Japan by doing more re-scuplts of existing kaiju - obviously we're not getting all-new figures from them, but it'd be nice to have a cheap ass Titanosaurus or something. Or more likely at least, a new Heisei Godzilla or Showa Anguirus.

Heisei Godzilla is just a moutain of fat rolls to me.

... those are clear?

I thought the tops ones were the solid color ones til I scrolled down to the rest of the image.

[EX Orochi]

Even though they really aren't clear I like that Gigan for some reason.

[Godzilla 2000]

Now THAT is cool.

I'm so getting that Gigan.

[Creature22]

I was thinking of selling my Gigan as well as others to make room but if they're reissuing him I don't think I'll make much of a profit lol. Those clear figures do look unique. They remind me somewhat of them in the video games, maybe because the brighter colors.

[GreenAiden555]

That's the '74 Mechagodzilla, right?
Hm... Might pick him up.

[Orgasmatron]

i actually dont have a bandai gigan yet so of course im gonna get him!! might even pick up the mechagodzilla too while im at it

[JVM]

Pretty creative idea of BC. I might just pick up some of the clear figures after all.

[Jomei]

They don't look half bad. Can anyone tell if the molds or paint are improved at all from previous releases?

[TitanoGoji16]

The molds look slightly different. Gigan's claws seem longer and Godzilla's arms seem posed differently (and I don't mean because they're turned up). I might get that Gigan. He's kinda nifty. Also, hopefully I'll be able to find MG'74 easier now. I definitely wasn't crazy about buying it online for some ridiculous price.

It's the same mold. Normal Gigan's image is exactly the same as the image for the original 2002 release.

Am I the only one who noticed G68 looks to have head rotation? I own the first issue and he doesn't even have a cut there.

*Rereads*

Okay, see, I thought he was asking if the clear figures had different molds from the normal figures.

[wataru]

Well that's really dull .... I'll only be getting the MG74. And that's only if I find it locally.

[Petezilla]

They may have scaled him down slightly and added neck movement during that process. I remember the first release of that figure being a tad too tall to fit in scale with the other toys. I hope they may have corrected that problem with this reissue. Possibly.

[wataru]

These are probably prototypes, so dont expect head rotation.

[UnCanny Studios]

I'll be purchasing each of the clear figures. I'm all for that Gigan, he looks really slick.

[JVM]

Not expecting it, just surprised since the released figure didn't even have a cut there, much less rotation.

Probably using the wrong terminology.
