Awesome, this is exactly what I've been waiting for since I'm getting the Gigantic G19, they should scale more or less the same. Hope the painted version has the quality and detail that matches the Gigantic.Gojira2K wrote:From Spiral Studios. Still pending Licensor approval. Estimated Wingspan: 126 cm. Estimated Height: 91 cm:

You'll get your $80 supah artikulated!!! figures, don't worry.
Why? There's no reason to compare the two unless you want to start stupid petty fights over two completely different styles of figures.master_of_monsters wrote: Regardless compare a knifehead 2.0 from NECA to a raijin from bandai
Raijin retailed for $39.99 and Knifehead was $29.99. Nitpicking, but that's not half the price.master_of_monsters wrote: knifehead was half the price of the raijin vinyl when he first came out and has a better sculpt and 4 times more articulation.
Again, not really a waste of potential if they're not striving to be anything more than what they are. They're not trying to compete with the super articulated figures so it's nonsensical and childish to compare them.master_of_monsters wrote: I personally find them to be a massive waste of potential when there are people who can make them much better

The Raijin vinyl was a premium series figure released for a specific audience. The NECA Knifehead is a mass produced figure for a much wider audience. This is like comparing an X-PLUS figure to a Marmit figure.

Some people don't give a poop about articulation and just want a representation of a character in their collection. Bandai's vinyl figures are cheap ways for people to grab a character without spending $40-100.
And...how on Earth can you compare the sculpts if they're two completely different designs and characters? That just makes no sense.

I kind of like the thicker necks on the monsterartsDirektorSplennic wrote:Shows how ridiculously inaccurate the SHMA is in terms of proportions...
Thiccness isn't bad, they just look so out of wack with the rest of the body.master_of_monsters wrote:I kind of like the thicker necks on the monsterartsDirektorSplennic wrote:Shows how ridiculously inaccurate the SHMA is in terms of proportions...

Yeah I have to agree. While I like slithery snake necks, they seem a little too scrawny sometimes, they shouldn't be thinner than Godzilla's arms!master_of_monsters wrote:looks especially weird when he's lifting other kaiju with themUltramanGoji wrote:If anything, the film's skinny-ass necks and tiny heads look way worse than the SHMA's proportions.
now that I think about it, it kind of reminds me of a gripe I had with the cleric beast from bloodborne and having more physical strength than his design would suggestGuardianGhido wrote:Yeah I have to agree.

Though for me, I like both SHMA and Movie designs. A middle ground with slightly thicker but still lanky looking necks would be nice.
Well that can be chalked up to magic sense it's a curse.master_of_monsters wrote:now that I think about it, it kind of reminds me of a gripe I had with the cleric beast from bloodborne and having more physical strength than his design would suggestGuardianGhido wrote:Yeah I have to agree.

If you're talking about the Kong, Spacegodzilla and Destoroyah figures, those were not at NYCC. They were at a licensing expo in Europe the week before.GodzillaRangerPrime wrote:I’m surprised there aren’t more pics of those Bandai vinyl figures at NYCC
