Are you looking for a Showa MG or a Kiryu?MothrasDDT wrote:Been starting a 'zilla collection recently & really like the looks of these especially the Mech-G's.
Would likely get one of them 1st, but which in your opinion(s) are the best of them?

Re: chogokin godzilla figures
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).MothrasDDT wrote:KiryuUltramanGoji wrote:Are you looking for a Showa MG or a Kiryu?MothrasDDT wrote:Been starting a 'zilla collection recently & really like the looks of these especially the Mech-G's.

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

Re: chogokin godzilla figures
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.

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

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;
Chogokin confirmed.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 ...?!
Super Alloy - Chogokin.超合金となって復活
Doesn't explain why it's under the SHMA special list though. Meh.

Re: Chogokin Godzilla Figures
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

Re: Chogokin Godzilla Figures
Maybe it means both. Although if mix only means the gimmick then they could have come up with a better nameSpaceG92 wrote:There is a mention of a gimmick though -godzilla1541 wrote:It might be a cross line thing like you said.

Re: Chogokin Godzilla Figures
I've not been this pumped for a Tamashii product in a long time.
If it can transform, all the merrier.
