The Heisei Godzilla series has been pretty much ignored thus far, and I figured it was time to touch on it. I considered going with my favorite Godzilla suit of the era, but we've already done a fair number of G variants, so I opted to go with my favorite Heisei opponent.

As is my way, I'm starting with the 8" Bandai figure:

And, just to make it clear that we're taking both stages of the creature in this thread, here's my one and only rose form Biollante:

Just a little something to keep the thread moving. I don't remember where these came from; they were probably thrown in as an extra with a big order. I think showcase Collectibles used to do that a lot.

I can't remember for 100% sure but I don't think I have a single Biollante in my collection. With the vast majority of it still in boxes and me being on the road right now I can't really check. But I'm pretty sure...

Really like the Rose forms posted. Especially the Marmit MH & Iwakura... Those are quite nice.

From 2007, the pink version of the Marmit Rose Biollante.

And also by Marmit, the equally beautiful blue/green Adult Biollante from 2007.

This is a great thread but it suffers from a lack of glow figures:

These were lottery exclusives, and according to the info I've got were limited to about 20 figs.

The more realistic green/gold sculpt of the Marmit Monster Heaven second version Adult Biollante ... released in July 2009.

And here she is posed with her arch-nemesis: the Marmit gold-spray Bio-Godzilla '89, also from 2009.
