They already have the sales data. They're web exclusive items, orders are only for a limited window and that's that, no more no less.

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
Anyone else see the 20inch anime Godzilla figure? Retailing at $173 and change.. my fear here is that if they make this one. Will any other kaiju they may pair with it also be 20inches.. then i have to pay $173 twice. Smh.

They made this one to scale with the movie appearance and is technically in "High Grade" scale or whatever those battle box style figures are. I doubt they'll jumbo size others.OGMechaMothra wrote:Anyone else see the 20inch anime Godzilla figure? Retailing at $173 and change.. my fear here is that if they make this one.

Let's hope not.. I totally would buy a jumbo figure of that same mold if it were a thing.SpaceG92 wrote:They made this one to scale with the movie appearance and is technically in "High Grade" scale or whatever those battle box style figures are.

I'd be very tempted to get a Jumbo sized Shin if they released it, paint would have to be better than anything we've seen before though, I wouldn't spend nearly $200 for a big black vinyl.

That's asking for to much though Look at some of their DX Ultra vinyls that go for ~25 bucks.GFAN198423 wrote:I'd be very tempted to get a Jumbo sized Shin if they released it, paint would have to be better than anything we've seen before though, I wouldn't spend nearly $200 for a big black vinyl.

Just wanted to thank you again, I did this to the 2017 release of MMS Godzilla 2000 and it worked perfectly, I had to also take an exacto knife to slice at some of the glue, no damage to the figure, and it came loose and now the tail's articulated so I can pose it where I like.UltramanGoji wrote:Heating up the seal and twisting and turning until the glue cracks is the easiest method.
However, some glue seals were not meant to be broke, so I’d check inside the figure to see if that glue is all that’s holding the tail to the figure.

The figure will be slightly smaller than, but close to the size of the Jakks Pacific Godzilla 2014. Color me impressed. The preorder link that ArchdukeSquidlyIII gave us appears to say that this will be a limited, preorder-only item. I'd be excited if there were, but I doubt there will be other kaiju made in this scale.OGMechaMothra wrote:Anyone else see the 20inch anime Godzilla figure?

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
Yeah, I just do not care nearly enough for this design to drop that much on a figure, even of that size. I have my Bandai and may get the Monster King and Banpresto ones. That's about it until a repaint of the SHMA comes out.

It's 'Oodako', and I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet...Godzillian wrote:Give it time.

Perhaps Amok Time IS getting more of these figures from Bandai. Depends on whether they think it is worth their time to do another run...

I finally received both my Gaira and Sanda today from ay.jp28. They are Fantastic!!! I got them each when they were on preorder for $58 with free shipping. I finally have what I always wanted "War of the Gargantuas" figures. It was certainly worth the wait!!! The X-Plus ones were too big for me at 30cm, different story at 25cm.

I'd love a jumbo shin godzilla, surprised one was never made with how popular shin is.

The Gaira was preordered on June 20, 2017 and the Sanda on July 7, 2017. It's been a long wait for the seller to get them in and send it out to me. He sent them out to me at the end of October and it finally arrived yesterday via snail mail SAL. I was so worried that it would be lost in transit. But, I have them now and I couldn't be happier. Before they came in I was constantly checking ebay to see what it would cost me to get them now. The current prices are pretty steep.Godzillian wrote: When did you order it?

I'd rather get a normal Varan before we get a flying verison.
