SH MonsterArts Discussion ( + related military vehicles)

[Dr Kain]

i'm pretty sure Anime Island gets their stock before Amazon. Hell, both Saturn and Kamen Rider Hibiki were supposed to ship yesterday and I haven't even been charged for them yet.

[Naruto65]

We're talking SHMA, not other lines.

Here is a place I have used personally. They're prices fluctuate some, but they offer free shipping and paypal. G14 was 62 bucks (total) at one point. I found them initially through eBay and then bought direct.

So I just saw Adult Jr at Barnes and Nobles here in Miami. As well as the Power Rangers, DBZ, and Sailor Moon stuff.

Unsurprisingly, they sell very well according to staff.

Monsterarts is something I didn't expect to see.

Let's forget all this mumbojumbo about a mixup over which store we were referring to.

And lets get to what Timothy said a long time ago.

(o_o ) Monsterarts are available at brick and mortar retail chains.

[Naruto65]

Kain, your figurarts shipping is different from SHMA in how they're obtained and shipped through tamashii and bluefin. Different lines from the same company are handled differently.

Of the popular etailers, Anime island has in fact been getting SHMA last, even after amazon.

Timothy said that one day, SH Monsterarts would be available at a major retailer chain, and everyone tore him a new one for saying such a thing.

And then yesterday I saw the Adult Jr. Monsterarts at B&N.

Seen a Monster Arts at Barnes & Nobles. Almost lost my mind and bought one. But I held off this time.

I hope they start selling vinyl toys and other imports. I've been waiting for a thing like this to happen for years. Lol

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Which Monsterarts did you see?

As for vinyls? Eh dunno, but who knows? Maybe that new vinyl of Godzilla 2014 strictly.

[Rice]

It was the 1995 Godzilla if I remember correctly.

[Timz]

[XvGojira]

Checked out mu local B&N and they had lots of Tamishii Nations stuff; DBZ, Sailor Moon, Power Ranger . But Rebirth was the only Godzilla there, but they had some other small Godzilla figures.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

I'm going to assume we'll only be seeing Godzilla, than any other Monsterarts. I expect to see 2014 there some time too.

I see Monsterarts at my local huge ass anime store, but thats a given. B&N is a bit larger, so Godzilla's menagerie may not be as well known. DBZ, Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, and Gunpla in the back are all wise choices imo. Very VERY 90s. Over here everything sells out within a few days.

I wish I could commend B&N, but my stores haven't updated their stock on Figuarts outside of Sailor Moon since June.

[Naruto65]

Bluefin announced a while back that Barnes & Nobles would be carrying Tamashii items, and since then the only SHMA's to appear were AVP and Big Chap. Maybe not in stores, but you could purchase them online at B&N. It's great to see that Godzilla made it's way to the store shelves though after all that time. They won't be stocking with anything prior to Godzilla (Adult Jr)'s release though.

[GiganGoji]

How much are the figures showing up for at B&N?

[Godzilla21]

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

So starting up an experimental shot of what I plan to do this Winter.

Special guest appearance from my brother, who was kind enough to hold the light!

[Baltan II]

Hiiiii Shin's brother's reflection!

@ Naruto65
What do you feel that Bluefin is doing to voice how the Godzilla 2014 MA turned out for the teeth, eyes and red noses that are popping up everywhere? To me it looks like someone at the manufacturing level did not like the new Godzilla design, and just started screwing with those figures. Are they going to investigate further to find out what went wrong, and are they going to ensure new production runs have good paint apps and proper eyes/teeth?
