^ You guys need to look at some of the close-ups of the G2014 vinyls - over in 'Toys & Models - you might be surprised at how much detail these suckers have...

I disagree, not worth the import.
Well now that I feel a little bothered by Godzilla's teeth, I may skip him and just get the Mutos...or not. Idfk anymore. :?

So your not going to buy the well detailed figure because of the teeth. I think the good outweighs the bad on this figure mate

The image was blurry I admit. So perhaps I'll wait for an in hand image.

Maybe it's just the white paint. As you said, wait for a on hand image

Wow, that's awful...looks like he used Crest White Strips.
Sadly, I must make you aware that anything I say is my opinion.

Contrary to popular belief, I did like Godzilla 2014

Everyone used to be really looking forward to these. Now everyone hates them because of the teeth. But hey, don't mind the well detailed body or nice paint apps. We only care about the teeth

The arms are a bit too long for me, but I'll still pick it up regardless.

I think we've been spoiled by all the high-end figures like NECA and SHMA which is why we're criticizing the vinyl one so much.

I'm sure the head is really small and that's why they really simplified the teeth, but it looks much better than the pack of destruction figure.

I don't get it though. A lot of vinyls have pure white teeth. What's so different. And I agree with Gfan. I think that they had to dumb down the teeth detail because of a smaller head

Maybe its because the teeth on this one are so obvious? Picking both up regardless I loved the bandai vinyls and am looking forward to getting both Godzilla and Muto.

Maybe because the teeth on the 2014 design aren't overly prominent compared to other designs and other figure makers have gone with just a few teeth to represent the biggest ones instead of a full row.

If BC puts some out, I'd buy them anyway. Unless they were the exact same figures as these.
Who knows, maybe BC designed these molds but held off on releasing them with the main movie line and let Japan have them first with their other stuff. Unlikely. These look a bit too good for BC.
