Got Marmit's Superfest Bio-Goji today.

Image

Pretty cool figure. I like it much more than the GMK and Cybot Godzillas. The face sculpt is actually pretty solid, although I don't like the way the eyes are painted. If the eyes were painted a little more realistically (and the Burning Godzilla figure shows us that Marmit is capable of it) the face would look great, in my opinion. Hopefully the mail order figure has better eyes. The body looks great: this in undeniably the 1989 Godzilla.

Image

I wish the body texturing was a little smoother. Marmit seems to use the same deep scale pattern for all their recent Godzillas but I think the otherwise inferior 2004 version of the same Godzilla style gets the scale detail a little more correct. The tail seems a bit more appropriate for a Millennium Godzilla than a Heisei version, being stiffer and more triangular shaped than the rounder, more whip-like version on the Heisei suits. Lastly, the shoulder-height fin either needs to be larger, or the fins below it need to be smaller.

Image

Still all things considered, this is a good figure, definitely my favorite of the very, very, very few Marmit toys we've gotten this year. It still doesn't come close to Bandai's 8" version though. :lol:

Well the green crystal arrived today. Nothing much to say about this figure except that yes...he is in fact molded in green, and is clear when a light is shown through behind it.

I don't normally collect super limited Bandai figures. I don't particularly like this sculpt but eh. I may or may not keep. However I personally have never seen one for sale so I had to get it when the opportunity arose.

After two weeks in Japan, my wallet is much lighter and my "man-room" is bursting at the seams! I'll let the pictures do the talking, but not pictured are supplies to build a diorama for the Godzilla '84 model i recently built (pictures of it can be found in the "Any kitbuilders..." thread in the "Other collectibles" section). Also, I posted some interesting pictures from those photo books in the "cool pictures" thread of the general godzilla discussion section. Many thanks to the members here and Clawmark Toys for advice & reccomendations that helped me find it all!

(sorry, made this one too big, so it's a clickable thumbnail)

Heh, heh, sorry. Couldn't resist.

Nice pick-ups. Lovin' the Marmit.

My latest purchase, the Bandai Great Monster Series King Ghidorah complete with original box and instructions. One of the wings has a crack in it as usual, but its nothing serious.

Great pick up, Jordan! It looks to be in good condition for something that's over 20 years old.

Quick post of latest goody box before the yankees win their 27th title...


Got some very kick ass marmits

Monster Heaven Angilas 2 with the light brown spray, which i prefer to the plain brown spray. And a marmit Mogera...unknown which line it falls under as it was sealed in bag...but no header card of any kind. I'm assuming either monster heaven or related as it scales perfectly with the other figures.
