What toy did you just buy?

[Cimmerian Dragon]

You know, I appreciate that they want these figures to look as much like a rubber suit as possible, but I can't be the only one who thinks this one takes it a bit too far, right?

They're taking the artificiality well beyond the actual quirks of the suit, in my opinion. It never looked that phony to me on film, especially the crinkled-up wings.

Yeah, I'm just not feeling that mold at all.

Rodan's wings in general are in drastic need of a redesign anyway.

I agree.

Those are a bit TOO wrinkly.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Like aluminum foil that's been balled-up and then flattened out.

it is a bit over-board, but I don't mind. I definitely think they were using page 68 in the pictorial book of godzilla vol 2 (i don't have a scanner) as one of their reference images though.

That's the impression I got from the 25cm MechaGodzilla, the wrinkling effect on the legs reminds me of bent aluminum foil... or foam rubber, which is kind of why I prefer the less dented 30cm version, which I hope to get my hands on sooner or later.

it's wrinkled, but it's not THAT wrinkled. a 100 year old woman would have fewer wrinkles than crumpled aluminum foil

I have a couple X-Plus figures on the way, but am tempted to by this bad boy!

That is some delicious looking mayhem right there GCrusher!

I confess, that was hyperbole for effect.

The basic sentiment stands, though.

Got my X-Plus 25cm Gigan today! http://zillamaster91.deviantart.com/#/d4y9ny4
A FANTASTIC figure if I say so myself. Makes me want to buy more X-Plus items....but alas, I must hold myself back - I still have the 30cm Godzilla 1989 to wait for at the end of June!

Awesome pic zilla master. Really does justice to a figure thats come out kind of quietly around here. Also, the Rodan actually looks better in person than the initial images. There i thought the wings were borderline ridiculous. This is much more passable.

[Godzilla 2000]

So at long last (as a birthday gift) I got my own S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla! And ho boy, is it awesome.



The sculpt is just amazing, as is the attention to detail.



And best of all, no messed up eyes!



I'll be posting a full text review later, in the SHMA thread.

Two things- 1). Why not post your review in the newly created review thread?

2). Are you going to do a video review on your youtube channel?

Because.

2). Are you going to do a video review on your youtube channel?

I always review new figures. I really dont get why people keep asking me this.

[RedZillaKing]

1) Shame. It will be lost in the pages soon enough- that SHM thread moves fast. Glad I went through the trouble to create the thread.

2) People likely ask because they don't know. Like I didn't.

Yeah but one look at my playlist of 150+ reviews would tell you "this guy probably reviews stuff."

[RedZillaKing]

So because your playlist has 150+ reviews that automatically means you'll review the SHM Godzilla? Riiiight.

A simple "yes" would've sufficed.

[wataru]

...G2K reviews stuff?

[Jomei]

...there are videos on the internet?!

I ordered an 8" scale King Caesar with tag, an '89 Rodan with tag, and an 8" Burning Godzilla with Tag. The Caesar and the loose tag from Rodan I'm keeping, and I'll probably be listing the Burning G and untagged Rodan on Skreeonk.
