Wanted to bring things back around to G. Like the 62, this one is also pretty popular. To kick things off, here's a new favorite of mine, the M-1!

That is sweet! Is it the vinyl or resin version?

Here are two Marmit Monster Heaven variants I own.

But my favorite '64 right now is probably my Pilot Ace:

Hm... all of these figures are probably due for new pictures.

Here's another view of the original 1984 Bandai Giant Monster Series Mosu-Goji Godzilla '64,
in his "natural" battlefield setting! :lol:

p.s. As you can see in the lower right corner, pink baby Mothra doesn't stand a chance!! :wink:

While i don't have many Y-MSF figures, for some odd reason I actually have a lot of love for the Y-MSF sculpt... in fact its the only figure I have ever purposefully double-dipped on. Originally I got the unpainted red, and then got a painted one. i'll post the red one later this week.

Here is one from this series: The X-Plus Cold-Cast Resin Chess Piece Series Godzilla Origins
It's about 4.5" tall... The mothra on the tail is actually connected through a metal rod, so surprisingly its not nearly as fragile as the rest of the series.

Jomei, I really love that Pilot Ace Godzilla. I recall really wanting to get that Godzilla, their Ghidorah, and Rodan. I just never saw anywhere to buy them online.

An old favorite, the 8" Bandai Mosu-Goji. Cartoony, but charming. Pictured here with Magma, and a bit of a boxed Battra visible just behind them.

Now we're talking! Definitely one of my all time favorite G suits, not to mention it appears in two of the best, most iconic films of the series (MothravsG, GTTHM). Sorry for not posting in any of the character spotlights so far, as I've been extremely busy, and I've made it a point the last few months to spend far less time on the computer). I think these topics are a great idea, and I might start a similar series over on the TK forums.

It's no secret what I will post here...the amazing Gigabrain Mosu-Goji figure:

Finally, the Gigabrain Mosu-Goji suit with the Gigagrain KG figure...never have two figures looked so perfect next to each other:

Aside from small Gashapon or diorama figures I think Super Festival Marmit Monster Heaven G64 is my favorite. I love the green metallic colour used on the main body. The golden paint on the claws, spines and eyes are really icing on the cake for me.

Similar to the Xplus resin diorama posted earlier, this is the Bandai version of Godzilla being harassed by Mothra larva. Frankly I don't remember which series, maybe one by Sakai?
