^^What's your point? Other than to flame bait, that is. You might not feel there's a distinction but that doesn't mean its not true. In fact, you're the one constantly spewing the statement that Bandai vinyls are meant for kids. Moving on,

i don't particularly prefer any 1 line over the other right now. I enjoy and love the ones I collect.

That being said, I suppose over the 20 years I've been collecting...I'd have to say Bandai gets my vote. For the breadth of selection and versatility of their offerings. I do enjoy X-Plus, Marmit, Gigabrain, and Pilot Ace more than bandai currently.

I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels that taking 30 years of Bandai Godzilla merchandise and actually separating every single thing the company has ever done into two groups - MonsterArts and everything else - shows an INCREDIBLE bias towards the MA series, as if they're so amazing that they NEED to have their own category. They're obviously SO MUCH BETTER than everything else Bandai has EVER done with Godzilla that OF COURSE it's okay to pretend that Bandai/Tamashi is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COMPANY ENTIRELY. In that case, where's Kaiyodo/Revoltech? Where's Pilot Ace? Where's Popy?

We're not going to have another MonsterArts argument. Cool it.

All right. It's just that, you know, when I see a poll about favorite Godzilla manufacturer (with over 40 years of companies to choose from) and something like MonsterArts is getting a massive chunk of the votes, my gut instinct is basically, "....really? Really???"

But whatever. Cooling it.

^^Ten choices are allowed for a poll. Revoltech never did a Godzilla figure. Calling the Sci Fi Revoltech a Godzilla line would be incorrect. Most of the lines I put are currently putting out figures. These questions you ask shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Get over it.

I don't get it either. No M1 votes? Only two for Marmit while MonsterArts has gotten Tamashii six?

I honestly don't think some of them know what they're missing out on, but to each their own.

Dude, just get over it! Marmits aren't accurate and can't do the splits. We know that MA is the best ever based on three figures. Come on, man!

Lol. So anyways I felt like Bullmark was the most iconic vintage line so I included it.

@Jomei- Some people don't like stylized figures. M1 is probably my least favorite from that bracket.

I just vote with my wallet.

Gigabrain is getting a lot of my money this month. X-Plus a fair amount due to Rodan. And some bandai figures I've been looking for for over a decade. also bought 2 pilot ace.

I have a space g monsterarts on the way, but I'll probably sell that.

I like marmits a lot because of the colors and I just really like the g2k mold. Gigabrains are pretty nice too.
I really love Tamashii figures, but not a big fan of monsterarts because none of the current monsters/godzilla suits for it interest me.

Have you ever HELD an M-1? Those things are incredible.

M1 and Marmit figures look amazing, but I don't think most people own them - they vote for what they know. Obviously, the real hardcore or what have you collectors have them, but I don't think it'd be fair for me to vote for Marmit just 'cuz it looks purdy if I don't actually own one.

Of course, I'm not voting because I've only ever dabbled in Bandai and TM.

I don't need to hold one. I don't particularly care for the style. The one figure I'd actually buy from them is the Last Dinosaur.

The GMK Goji is one of my favorite figures. Having it in your hands gives you a whole new perspective on it. And that's what she said.

I like it too, but I honestly think the M1 is better now that I have it in my collection.

I prefer Marmit to M1 on the whole... but that's not a judgment of quality so much as my personal taste in sculpts. M1 has a lot of amazing stuff that I'd love to own. :] Marmit just has such variety and so many amazing pieces as well.

Yeah, but again, have you ever seen one in person? I have both. The M-1 is EASILY a better figure in terms of vinyl quality ALONE.

Vinyl quality isn't anything I particularly care about. For something like a Marmit or an M1(which will essentially be sitting on my shelf) ot just has to look nice.
