NECA..."the other Godzilla company".

GOD(zilla)!! Look at this!!

Well, it IS a ball joint, but for whatever reason NECA made the choice to make it a fixed rather than movable joint at the factory level. I'd guess it was an issue of the head popping off easily or something. NECA pulled a similar stunt with the initial production runs of Crimson Typhoon, gluing the shoulder ball-joint of the smaller right arm rather than leaving it articulated.

I bought two of the NECA Godzilla 1994 because I wanted to have one on my office and one in it's plastic package. The one in my office can move it's head around fine but now I am wondering about the one that is still in it's plastic case. It looks fine and I don't think I see anything wrong but it looks like everything is a matter of luck now.

I hope their Godzilla 84 is better >_>

[KingKaiju]

Me too. I sent NECA a tweet on twitter, I doubt anything will be done. Hopefully this won't be TOO hard to glue back together. But for tonight, he'll be sitting like this.

[Dr Kain]

Why aren't you just exchanging your Godzilla for a new one?

[KingKaiju]

I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do that still. After all, it's already been a few days and I've opened and thrown out the packaging. =\

[Baltan II]

Probably depends on the store where you ordered yours. You didn't specify in your haul pics. If it's Amazon, it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's Toys'R'Us or NECA's eBay store, might be a different story.

[KingKaiju]

Yeah, I got mine from the TRU website, which makes me a little iffy. I'll call up their customer service in a little bit, their website did mention something about damaged and defetected items, which probably means only NEW items. We'll see, I'll give them a call. I tweeted NECA last night about it and they just replied, "The head should be articulated." SMH.

[Baltan II]

[KingKaiju]

Hahahaha hey, I just woke up! No class today. hahaha.

I'll have to give them a call, if not I'll just glue it back together. GAAAAHHH!! This is sooooo frustrating. WHY NECA? WHHHHYYYY?

[Dr Kain]

[KingKaiju]

I just got off the phone with TRU, they sent me a replacement figure. Thank GOD(zilla)!!

On a side note, while playing around with my 24 inch NECA figure, I decided to make him go fishing... And he caught this. God I feel like a little kid right now.

^ Great picture. Good use of that articulation.

Not sure if it was posted already but Neca has more pics of the updated G'84 sculpt on their site.

It took me a minute to figure out what it reminded me of, but it definately wasn't the suit from the movie....

Then it hit me.



What are these people using for reference?!! We get a G'94 that looks way more like the dark horse comics godzilla than the suit from the film it's supposed to represent and now we get a g'84 that looks like the freaking suit in the Charles Barkley Nike commercial! I love a lot of the things neca makes, but this is getting hilarious.

[Dr Kain]

It still looks like 84 to me.

[KingKaiju]

It's not perfect, that's for sure. But it's definitely a 1984 Godzilla.

[MekaGojira3k]

Got this guy. Tiny tail. Mismatched paint on claws. Still, a lot of fun to mess with for its price. Looking forward to the 84-Goji.

[MekaGojira3k]

3 more...
54 Godzilla, 64' and then 74 or 04'.

I'd really like an 04...but there's clearly no guarantee any of these will look like the suit XD

And this isn't too far away, so wooo!

[KingKaiju]

[Dr Kain]

Let's hope they give us a movie accurate 1954 Godzilla next.

[DannyBeane]

I'd buy a musuko-goji. I'd probably be one of like 10 people but still... I'd buy it.

[canofhumdingers]

I'd consider a '67 Godzilla if the sculpt was good enough. I'm also one of the weird people who actually kinda likes that suit despite (or maybe because of) it's many flaws. But I've got the 6 inch bandai from the memorial set and it's freaking spot on, so NECA's would have to be pretty awesome to get me to double dip.
