Monsterarts Godzilla '54 arrived today.


Here are some different suit actors' takes on it:

Haruo Nakajima style


Kenpachiro Satsuma style


Heretical GINO style (interesting to see it will balance like that)


Tom Kitagawa style


Mansai Nomura style


And because we all know shodai-goji likes the ladies...

Haven't gotten a new bandai vinyl in YEARS... feels good

Since I put this in the wrong thread before...

A couple weeks ago I discovered Entertainment Earth had several of their Godzilla figures on sale (), so when I saw the figure below listed for roughly thirty-five dollars, I knew I had to act.



At last I can join the Marmit appreciation club! despite the stock images, the color scheme looks pretty nice in person: it's sort of a dark sea-green with splotches of blue-gray. I admit, in the wrong lighting and angle, one might think the figure looks dirty or something; but I think it's a nice, subdued scheme for Goji, and it works extra well with the golden yellow fin highlights.



It's my first Marmit, and my first Mosu-Goji; and I'm absolutely delighted to have him.
Oh, and he's down to now! I'm almost tempted to buy another one!!

In the meantime, these guys also came in recently:



They're really cool, all three of them. Surprisingly, despite being less than enthusiastic about Heisei designs normally, the '89 has become my favorite.
Some comparison shots:

G'14 looks pretty good with them, but those BC minis... Ouch.

This lovely set came in today, courtesy of Showcase Daikaiju - the Hyper Godzilla History set:



They're splendid figures, the lot of them: four inches tall and hyper detailed. They're kind of sticky, though (in the box too long?), and a couple of them want to fall apart.
This also marks my first Kinggoji and first 84goji!! (also second Mosugoji, second Desugoji, third Miregoji and fourth Shodaigoji)

These splendid figures just came in yesterday, courtesy of a couple collectors/sellers on Facebook:



...And this was passed on to me from my uncle: the Horizon 1993 Godzilla!

Finally broke down and got these even though the price seems a little steep. I guess with registered postage from japan $110 for the 3 Bandai, is not that bad. I remember payIng $10 - $15 each for this stuff shortly after being released years ago, now they cost two to three times as much. They must have been really popular. Glad I bought them though. Wish the Banpresto was a regular claw game toy and not a lottary Prize. I really want a large version of Shin Goji. The Sega is nice and solid ut so tiny. Wishing the bandai were at least 8" scale like the good old days.

My SHMA BioGoji figure arrived yesterday.

I've had box days nearly three days in a row now. My Ultra monster collection has exploded as a result, but Godzilla and Gamera are spoken for, too!

[The Great MM]

Big, BIG box day. Two packages containing some figures from the Ultraman Orb line (including Magatano Orochi) and the third with...



X-Plus Godzilla 1984. Marks my second X-Plus 30cm figure. Also threw in a signed copy of issue 4 of Godzilla Oblivion because of a slight issue with shipping, which is an awesome bonus. Got from Vampire Robots, so use them. 'Kay!?

2016 turned out to be a huge collecting year for me, in the latter half; I just kept finding good deals for desired figures on eBay, HobbyLink Japan, Facebook, etc. Here's all (I think) I've obtained since my last post:



I'm certain I more than doubled my colletion in the past few months.

[Hybrid Gojira]

[Rody]

^Talk about a centerpiece! That is one magnificent figure.

[lhb412]

^^ Mag-frickin'-nificent!

X-Plus never seems to disappoint - and I don't even have any!*

Recently I discovered the complete Eiji Tsuburaya High Grade set selling for a good price on eBay; it arrived just yesterday:



They're actually bigger than I expected!


I also have a big Gigan vinyl coming in soon (by Solvi Life? Vinyl Wars reissued it); I'll post pictures when it arrives.

[Rody]

Gigan arrives!




I wasn't exaggerating when I said "big" before: he stands 11.5 inches tall, dwarfing nearly every other figure in my collection!!

[lhb412]

^Nice!

(and now you've made me awful interested in that blue Godzilla '62)

[Rody]

^Haha! Yeah, the blue variant is a real eye-grabber. It's the Marmit Monster Heaven sculpt; I think this variant was reissued under the Vinyl Wars line. I found him for a great deal of $49.99 on eBay, almost by accident!
