Would likely get one of them 1st, but which in your opinion(s) are the best of them?
Are you looking for a Showa MG or a Kiryu?

Kiryu
Go for the MonsterArts instead of the Chogokin. I own it and it's amazing. Much better articulation, accessories, and it's cheaper (to my knowledge).

The only one I would consider getting would be Mechagodzilla 1975, simply because he is my number one favorite Godzilla villain of all time

I just saw a review of the Chogokin Mechagodzilla 74 chrome and now I don't know if I want that or 75. Wish their was a chrome 75 but I think I'll end up with the 75 version and be done.

Lol I strategically glued mine so that wouldn't happen.

^^ Really like that Showa MG. Hope they bring some of that aesthetic to SHMA when they get around to releasing their own MGI.

Can you stop quoting images? Please thank

Also - it does bear the "Chogokin" logo. Tamashii MIX may be a cross line.

Added in 1 hour 23 minutes 9 seconds:
Little more research;
At the timing of "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" (released in 1993), the late Mechagodzilla drawn by Mr. Yoshinori Yoshinori was revived as a super alloy in 2017. Under the cooperation of Mr. Nobushi Nishikawa, a cartoonist who is a staff at the time and a phantom poster version draft designer, realized the will of that time. Well, what is the gimmick hidden in this design ...?!
Chogokin confirmed.
超合金となって復活
Super Alloy - Chogokin.

Doesn't explain why it's under the SHMA special list though. Meh.

It might be a cross line thing like you said. It probably means a mix of both lines and we just interpreted that as a transformation instead

Maybe it means both. Although if mix only means the gimmick then they could have come up with a better name

I've not been this pumped for a Tamashii product in a long time.

If it can transform, all the merrier.
