Dorats!?!?!?!

[Timz]

yep Dorats. Someone was joking about Tamashii doing Dorats in the line like what last year or something? LOL! Seeing that now it is a reality just really puts the ambition of Tamashii into perspective. YOU MAY JUST GET A Godzillasaurus afterall in the line.

[Dr Kain]

That's a lot of small parts. I hope those cables are bendies and not straight up plastic or they are going to break easily.

Other than that concern, the guy looks freaking awesome.

[Baltan II]

The one downside to all the great reveals that happened last night is that it essentially confirmed there would be no December mass release for MonsterArts. Not a huge deal really, the end of the year and early 2015 are stacked with expensive releases between this and the few people who would actually shell out full price for the Tokyo SOS Kiryu, but a bit of a shame.

[Hybrid Gojira]

I don't care about the Dorats. I wish they would have included a triple beam for MKG's middle head, but the machine hand is awesome. I'll be getting this regardless.

So this showed up. New views of Godzilla 2014. I gotta say, I think it improves on the design by spreading the feet outward, and removing the shininess of the skin. I like the overall texture of it.

[Hybrid Gojira]

So Adult Junior and SG came last night...both are incredible figures. I love the color they used for G's spines. SG is an astounding figure - painted beautifully and he looks great.

Unfortunately, my KG, Mog, and Rodan were delayed til tomorrow. ;(

Patience. Meh.

[Dr Kain]

[MekaGojira3k]

I love the dorats
I was already planning to get that figure, but the extras make it even more worthwhile.

[Baltan II]

[klen7]

i really didnt think they would be so adverse to going Showa. Guess i was wayyyyy off.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Going to Showa, since that's what we're hoping Klen7 is wrong on (I'm with you here yo)...

I think a Titanosaurus Monsterarts would oddly scale pretty well with other Monsterarts. I say this because of how much larger Titanosaurus is compared to Showa Godziller. I can picture him being of similar size to the Heisei Mechagodzilla (which is kind of small compared to later figures in the line).

[Hybrid Gojira]

Box day was delayed thanks to the good ole' post office. KG, Moggy, and Rodan were supposed to be delivered Wednesday, but somehow were stuck at the same post office location for 3 days. So I guess today is the day....plus I have G2K coming Saturday.


I'm stoked for Kiryu 2003. The drill arm and the better paint job are wins for me, but then I never bought the 2002 release. 2003 is a better design.

Lastly, does anyone have a Garuda they would like to sell? I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but it can't hurt to ask.

Edit: so an interesting exchange between a few members over at TK seemed to indicate MX is coming next, which is one of the monsters Naruto had listed in the forecast.

Meh, not high on my priority list, but I'd probably get him.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Monster X? Hmm... He'd fit well with Gigan (though Heisei Ghidorah fits well with Gigan too, just cause they are Gigan and Ghidorah).

I'm hoping for Orga, but I'd probably get a Monster X anyway.

[XvGojira]

[Hybrid Gojira]

Well, the post office is up to no good again.

I called yesterday and the package was supposed to be delivered today.

Now it will be tomorrow.

I'm pretty annoyed, since it was shipped second day and originally supposed to be delivered Wednesday according to the site.

My precious KG... :/

[klen7]

it's probably a skip for me because Monster X is at the absolute bottom of my list for for all things Godzilla/Gamera, but i'll wait to see the sculpt before i make up my mind. I had a bit of buyer's regret on the Gigan figure and gave up on being a completest for SHMA, already sold a few of them, but i also have a few that i have no intention of getting rid of. i'll be a bit more picky going forward starting with skipping G95 repaint, Kiryu 2 and the effects kits. Right now Mechaghidorah & the Dorats are the only thing on my radar. Although i would love to pick up an Orga, Megaguirus, or GMK Baragon

[Hybrid Gojira]

I'm not really a completist for SHMA. I have no desire to get the Con Exclusive G95 and I might pass on the aggregate Dessy.
I did just commit to buy the 1st release MG and Garuda...that set me back a little. I need Battra Imago, Gigan, and then Godzilla's offspring.

G14, Kiryu, and MKG are must haves. MX? Meh. Same for Orga, but I'll wait to see the sculpts before passing judgment.

[Hybrid Gojira]

Double post, but are The original G and MG the only two characters with 1st Edition only beams?

[klen7]

I think those are the only two that got 2nd editions at all.

[Dr Kain]

So Bluefin has just officially announced MKG's price is $200. I know that is what we figured it would be months ago, but then others said it would be $180. Nevertheless, what is with the sudden price hikes on these lines? Mario was $22, Luigi is $32. Rangers and Riders used to be $38-42, now they are $50+. MA were $65-150 sans Bio, now they are $100-200. This deal is getting worse all of the time.
