Finally get to display these bad boys after months in boxes. Not the best pictures, I took this before I realized my driod wasn't in 8 MP mode....

I love that Megahouse '62!!!! I almost got one and now I wish I had.

My '84 is supposed to be coming today. Stupid slow mailman!

Wow. Totally forgot that today is Veteran's Day. No mail today! '84 should be here tomorrow then.

Here he is!

Hmm. To me, it looks like the figure is quite lumpy and the feet took way too small for the body. But maybe the figure just doesn't photograph well.

I got mine from Hobby Search. They still have them in stock too. It was about $150 shipped.

See, those production photos just don't do the figure any favors. He looks like an insane chipmunk.

OK, a few more shots taken outside without the flash. I couldn't really think of any other angles to snap Sachiel but if you have something in mind, ask away. The small foot issue seems to be just from the front view to me and really not nearly as noticeable IRL either. Must just be something with the angles I am taking the pics at. I also tried to get a good closeup of the mouth/head to show that his teeth really aren't bright white or the mouth isn't as pink as before. It's tough to get really good shots (especially with a nearly 10 yr old camera) of it that do it justice. I think most of the issues that have come up would be solved by seeing it IRL sitting on your shelf.

Really thanks for the pics Howze01. I really just want to see the figure from these angles if possible. A few more shots showing the figure from a 45 degree angle would be nice. Some more shots of the mouth full and side views too. Thanks.

But yeah from the pics that i can see posted by the others I have noticed it would seem the sculpt is thrown significantly off by another feature missing. What the heck happened to the huge fangs that the G84 suit had? That is like one of big trademarks for this zilla, its fangs. The figure looks like a baby or de-fanged zilla.... No wonder i thought it looked less imposing and menacing than its film counterpart....

Yeah, the figure still looks off to me. And my opinion is after seeing both sets of Jonathan's pictures, rapzilla's and the store images.

I think it looks pretty good (not perfect) from the side, but the face doesn't even look close to its onscreen counterpart. I would even say its face looks quite sloppy.

the outdoor pics definately make it look a lot better. But there are a few things that still look off. To me, the thighs look odd but I can't quite put my finger on just why exactly. Also, the profile view shows how the head is turned down at an odd angle from the neck, something the suit couldn't do. Personally I'll stick with the Kaiyodo 8 inch model. Of course, it's a smaller scale, & you do have to build & paint it yourself, but it captures the suit perfectly, imo.
