NECA..."the other Godzilla company".

There is no way to fit that one in a detolf. His height fits, but even with the tail curved as much as it can it won't fit in the space.

I was at ToysRus today and there sat the 12" tall 2014 on the shelf again, taunting me.

I'm wondering when they will be releasing the 84 figure. Anyway street date set for the figure?

NECA's eBay store is now selling the Godzilla 1984 figure. BIN price is $18.99.

[Dr Kain]

Has any site done a review yet?

That's one serious underbite.

[Dr Kain]

I really hope that is just the angling.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Why aren't these figures done in matte textured plastic?

The underbite is kinda weird... Hopefully its something that can be fixed via boiling water.

Looks like the Neca 84/85 is finally out on Amazon. Not sure why it is still using the older image but it's there.

From what I've seen, the underbite is just that figure. Likely an error, or something that can be corrected.

[Dr Kain]

Look what I found at TRU:























For the most part, he is a really cool figure with some good posseability, but he is not free of issues. The worst issue is this though:



The wire in the tail broke through the plastic when I was posing it, which I am not too happy about.

[MekaGojira3k]

Other than that issue it looks really good for what it is. I'm excited to pick this one up.

I took a few more shots:

So now that I am done with the photos I have sat back to look at the figure as a whole. The sculpt itself is quite cool and seems to be about 90% accurate to the movie. Unfortunately, the spines are pretty much rubber rather than plastic, which is annoying. Also, I'm not a fan of the way the thighs are cut as it makes the right leg look a tag longer than the left. And then there is the wire breaking through the tail. It also does not help that the tail just seems a little too short. As with a lot a NECA toys, there is some sloppy paint as the bottom corner of his jaw has pink spilled over from his mouth. On the positive side, the face is incredible and looks very accurate to the movie down to even the eyes that look upward. The articulation is great with nice tight joints and I love that the wrists are on a ball rather than a hinge. He does still have that longer toe though. Overall, until Bandai gives us a MonsterArt, this is by far the best posseable 1984 Godzilla we have. It isn't perfect, but the positives far outweigh the negatives and it is pretty identical to the suit we see on screen the majority of the time. If I would change anything on the toy, it would be the friggin tail. This is a prime example of why bendy tails suck.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Very cool really. Still not a fan of how plasticiky it looks, but you're right. The molding looks really nice.

Ah yes, Bendy Tails do indeed suck.

If I see this guy on Friday I'm picking him up.

I hope my local shop gets one, but that will only happen if he ordered it before receiving the 94. I'm still on the fence but I do like a couple of the angels the good doctor posted.

[Timz]

saw this Godzilla 1985 video review. Looks good. No underbite or mouth/teeth issues on this either.

No, you're not the only one. While vast improvement was done to the head, the body was still overlooked.
