The sculpt itself is far better on the Bandai. You might be able to make a case for the paint and perhaps some surface detail on the Playmates figure, but the head is all wrong.Platypus Prime wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 11:56 am This is actually a serious question (I'm not that familiar with the differences between Bandai and Playmates right now) is there any reason to try to get the Bandai Gorosaurus if you have the Playmates one already? It makes an excellent all-around retro-saur for Kong to fight, but I'm not sure how the Bandai one differs.

Are people getting that premium MUTO set already? Seems like it might already be out in Japan.

The new Hedorah figure came today. Looks really nice with my other champion era baddies.

The lower half of the body and the end of the tail leave a lot to be desired, but for what does have more paint/colors on it look pretty nice

Got my Hedorah today. Sculpt is as good as possible in MMS. I think this one is much more movie accurate than the Monsterarts.
But it's little pity that the eyeballs are not carefully painted.(one of mine has got a bit slipped)
