Some closer looks at the SHA Monsterarts figure of this new Godzilla.

This fella does not look happy, and he means business.

Hey SH MonsterArts something funny's going on you better check.

I really like how this Goji looks like a fusion of the best Heisei era designs with a touch of the Legendary Bear/Alligator head.

Yeah, he does. I like that Toho saw the head of the legendary design, and decided to go with it.

It’s completely irrational for me to get so excited for a new Godzilla movie, but then again, I ask myself “Is there anything better in life than Godzilla?”

And the answer is, no.

No, there isn’t.

I'd hold off personally, Hiya Toys has the license now for Toho Godzilla's and their Legendary monsters have put SHMA to shame for half the price.

How do they "feel" compared to SHMA? I have a decent SHMA collection and aesthetically everything matches.

They are quiet a bit larger than SHMA, but all in scale with each other. Their GvK Godzilla stands about an inch taller than the SHMA one.

But, they "feel" much better. They feel like sturdier figures, I've not had a problem with joints coming loose or with the rubber parts (for example Kongs diaper on the SHMA figure) being warped out of the box.

I also feel like they have nailed the designs much better, but honestly that's as much because they are released years later, so not based off concept art as anything else.

I have full faith in the line though, I'm replacing my SHMA one's slowly but surely when Hiya brings out their version.

Just waiting on their already announced Ghidorah now, and an eventual Mecha Godzilla from them.

We faithful remember. I bought a shirt from Cavity Colors that is basically a manga panel version of Godzilla and Anguirus talking from Vs. Gigan because it was the only Anguirus shirt I could find. (And I like it anyway.)

Thanks for the write up! Hopefully they go into the SHOWA stuff. I see they have some very reasonable prices for Robocop and Predator stuff! Plus DREDD.

Soon.

the GFW Anguirus kind of sucked because it was a recycled costume from Rebirth of Mothra II, or so I've heard. Everything in GFW was cheapo looking, like King Ceasar looked worse in 2004 than 1974 imo

anyway would love to see an updated Anguirus with Showa callbacks

I am still pissed off I missed out on the official Otaki Factory windbreaker. I do have the embroidered patch for it though.

Maybe I should get a decent jacket and have custom embroidery done on it...

edit: I did get a couple of the stickers as well and now my iPad is no longer from Apple but an official Otaki Factory tablet...

Really liking it too. The head looks a bit like a King Goji update, and maybe a little Stan Winston 98 concept Godzilla too?

It's WB not understanding how money math works. There's no way the cost of the Toho licenses for Destoroyah or Biollante are going to hurt the bottom line of a modern hollywood film that's barely gonna break even, anyway. gently caress it. Give me the nano-crab tidal wave and the giant tree crocodile that my lizard brain recognizes and maybe fears a little. You have the cash, goddammit.

Or new cool monsters are okay, too, I guess...

They actually don’t have the cash lmao. That’s why they could barely release their big tent pole movies last year and why they’re selling assets and freaking out
