...that background...
The fact that the adult Junior is a similar, potentially superior figure doesn't change the fact that while it's a good stand-in as a generic Heisei Godzilla, it still only represents a particular movie scene and the Moge-Goji an entirely different movie's Godzilla. It also hasn't stopped that first MonsterArts Godzilla from being worth a bit more than it once did. Obviously most of the demand is for the beam from the initial run, and it's not a significantly higher value (it's no Ghidorah or Biollante), but if it's caught Bandai's notice and they're giving this thing a second reissue anyway, that could be a good thing for the one monster a lot of people are clamoring to get again, whether for better-constructed wings or simply because one doesn't want to drop $350 on a figure that only retailed for $125 at the absolute most.
