Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread

Because it is just a generic octopus.

I don't really understand the logic behind the sea snake/octopus/rock release. Especially when they had perfectly good sculpts of Kamacuras and other monsters to release. But then, that's probably been beaten into the ground already, lol.

We agree on something.

It wouldn't be any suprise to me if Tony said that the snake and others should be released since he thought they would sell. Sometimes he is incharge in what is produce from what I have been told.

The people in charge thought two little vinyl snakes would sell for FIFTY DOLLARS????????

I think he should get different consultants.

I just laughed my ass off at that !

To be clear, Bugs's remark was referring to Tony ("It's not a bootleg"), not Mr. Kawakami.

The snakes, the rocks and some other items from that line look like they belong in a dollar store.

Basically seen... the rocks/snakes/etc. are just accessories for the bigger character figures. SHMA has also sold some accessories separately. Why so much buzz on Y-MSF, but not so much with SHM then...?

Because trashing Y-MSF is what are the cool kids are doin'.

And unlike SHMA, it apparently never gets old.

That is true. People complain about how a rock is useless well so is a $155 set of tanks, aircrafts and a red beam.

To my knowledge he is still working on Caesar and he said it is 3-4 weeks to finish a sculpt so. Why not talk about Caesar since there is a possiblity that'll be better than Bandai's version.

Now THAT Bandai is both old and sub-par. I could definitely see the Y-MSF being a better figure in that case. The prototype pieces I've seen look all right, but not enough to judge by.

Boom. Yes.

I love the Bandai King Caesar figures. I still need the repainted release and the 8" versions, but I dig the classic 6" I have in my lineup. He has a lot of character, but is a rather inaccurate, bulky sculpt with a very minimalistic paint job. From what I've seen of the Y-MSF sculpt so far, it should be an awesome addition to any collection. Caesar figures are scarce as it is.

Caesar... Seesar... Sheesa... I'm actually curious as to what everyone else "calls" him and/or spells it. I know there are several variations. I've always just spelled it Caesar, since that is how I pronounce it. Caesar is the official English title for Toho, I believe, but Seesar seems to be a very popular way of spelling it as well.

[RedZillaKing]

I spell it "Seesar", but I think Ceasar is proper.

[Planetxman]

This mini King Caesar is a lot better than Bandai's sculpt.
And while we are at it, this mini Kumonga is better than Y-MSF's version

[RedZillaKing]

That's Iwakura. Their sculpts generally beat the vinyl figures. Mave you seen their Anguirus, Gorosaurus and that figure they made of you? Gorgeous.

I don't really understand the logic behind the sea snake/octopus/rock release.

While he's about as minor a character as the Godzilla franchise can get, I actually wouldn't mind a real Oodako figure from Y-MSF, one with tentacles extended and moveable, maybe sized more like his War of the Gargantuas incarnation. One worthy of being displayed with other Bandai and Y-MSF figures. The current glob of plastic is beyond stupid, though.

I used to call him Seesar, but I say Caesar now. Unlike most of Toho's other 'official' renamings/retitlings, I didn't really put up too much of a fight with this one since it didn't change the way I said the name, lol.

Same here. I don't mind the Caesar version, its just one less name Toho has to copyright.

Well there yah'go! Thanks, gentlemen. Curiosity appeased!

I've begun selling some random things from around the house to make a bit of cash to start up a Y-MSF collection. Or I'll just spend the money on a Marusan Ebirah... been wanting one of those for a while. Either way, I'll be building up a collection of Y-MSF figures soon. We'll see how they stack up!

[ZillaMaster91]

The High Grade King Seesar is perhaps Bandai's best figure of the character. I absolute cringed at the original 8" and 6" sculpts. Good thing I managed to sell mine. XD
