2012 X-Plus Vinyl Figures Discussion Thread

Nope. The Jirass suit combined the body of the Mosu-Goji suit with the head of the Daisenso-Goji. Its not simply the Daisenso-Goji with a frill added.

Hello, all. New member here, but lifelong Gojira otaku. I'm wondering if anyone has any input--actual knowledge or just an educated guess--about upcoming Godzilla figures in the X-Plus 30 cm line. I'm a little (okay, a lot) late to the party when it comes to collectibles--I just this week pre-ordered the 30 cm 1964 Rodan, my first X-Plus purchase--and I'd like to have a Godzilla to go along with Rodan and (the upcoming) Mothra imago and Varan releases. (I have a soft spot for Varan, for some reason.) I see that X-Plus has already put out 30 cm versions of, it seems, every Showa-era iteration of G except for 1965's "Daisenso-Goji," and that these are pretty much long-gone unless you want to go the route of eBay, et al.

Do we think a 30-cm Daisenso-Goji will be forthcoming? Or is it too close to Mosu-Goji to make it profitable or sensible for X-Plus to release? I'm really keen on the Showa G designs, less so on the Heisei ones (though they're still pretty boss), and pretty much totally uninterested in the Millennium designs (sorry, Millennium fans).

Thanks in advance for your input, guys and gals!

Actually most of the showa Godzillas have been released in the 25cm scale..with the only figures only available in 30cm scale being king-goji and godzilla 54 and 68. Both lines lack a GTTHM Godzilla, and a few others i can't recall off the top of my head.

Really, leunames? That's interesting. I didn't realize that. Well, if that's the case, then I shouldn't worry about more Showa-era G's being released in the 30 cm line? I'd happily purchase a 30-cm Mosu-Goji, Daisenso-Goji, etc.

I'm patiently awaiting the '62 Godzilla in 25cm scale before I jump hardcore into these.

And skreeonk it, I'll probably stash some of my income tax money aside for the 30cm King Ghidorah that they announced. If there's any monster I wouldn't mind having be slightly out of scale, it's a larger King Ghidorah (or Kumonga for that matter).

Mosu-Goji was also released in 30cm scale.

No love for 1964 Rodan?

Well, plenty of love for '64 Rodan from me, Smog Monster. I may be alone in this, but I prefer that version of Rodan to the original '56 version.

[SmogMonster]

Me too!

[TokyoVigilante]

Oh I love '64 Rodan. Best one, IMO. But I'm sticking with 25cm figures out of cheapness for the majority. King Ghidorah just works better being out of scale and massive, same with Kumonga.

Speaking of the 25cm scale, did anyone else notice that the 25cm Mechagodzilla looks like it has a layer of grit and battle damage on it?

Oh, my bad! Never knew that...sorry for the mis-info.

Mosu-Goji was also released in 30cm scale.

Smog Monster, do we have a link for this 30-cm MosuGoji? I searched HobbySearch, and was only able to find a MosuGoji in the Toho Large Monsters Series line. Granted, their description of the product says that its height is over 30 cm, but it apparently isn't actually a part of the 30 cm line. So perhaps their product description is off? Or maybe a different one in the 30 cm line might still be coming?

I know that. I've been collecting this line since 2009....I never said that it wasn't.

"Toho Large Monster Series" is X-Plus's name for their 30cm line. So that would be the one.

Actually no..."Toho Large Monster Series" is the name for their 25cm line. The 30cm line is distinctly called "30cm scale"

Also, Hobby Search's description is incorrect. The 30cm tall Mosu-goji is in X-Plus' "Toho 30cm" scale line, which isn't to be confused with the more recent 25cm scale Mosu-goji which is also labeled "Toho Large Monster Series" on Hobby Search's website. So to be clear, both the 30cm scale and 25cm scale Mosu-goji are labeled "Toho Large Monster Series" on their website. The former is incorrectly labeled.

Oooooh. My bad. That's right, there is a MosuGoji in the 25cm line aswell as a 30cm one.

X-Plus needs to keep their gallery section better up to date. Also, you receive a warning for correcting a Moderator.

If people are looking for pictures of the X-Plus line, I created a fan page on Facebook. Look it up if you'd like to join! It's under "X-Plus Godzilla Vinyl Series". Besides pictures of the figures, I've got fun stuff uploaded too like posters, artwork, and a friends/foes gallery. I maintain it pretty regularly.

Brad, that sounds great. I'd love to join (you guys know I love my 1973 25cm Godzilla) but unfortunately I'll never get laid again if my Facebook friends knew that I collected Godzilla "toys". I keep it to myself...

LOL! I understand. Today I sent a shout out asking if anyone I was friends with play the Marvel Alliances game and one of my co-workers reminded me of how much a nerd I am. That's ok though. At my age (42) I don't give two rats about what people think. Anyway, I get it. Oh, and it's a closed group so anyone can see the group and who's in it. Only members see posts.
