I got my Gamera today. He is awesome except for a small problem. I had to request a replacement from Amazon because the shell piece that covers his groin area does not stay in. Not only was the peg itself not fully cut out (there is a wave of plastic still on it from the mold), but it is loose as all hell. If I sneeze it falls off. The same goes for one of the other shell pieces on the lower left side.
Despite that, this toy rocks and I can not wait until I get a fixed one. I love the flying accessories, but most of all, I love the fireball. |

I discovered that the white paint used for the Crystals on SHM Space Godzilla's shoulders are tacky. I'm not sure if its the paint or the plastic used that's causing this. Is there a fix for this issue?
Thanks in advance. |

I wish we would get more Showa stuff in the MonsterArts line. Kamen Rider, Sentai and Ultraman get a lot of Showa love from Tamashii, but not Godzilla .

Well, since Special Color Ghidorah is a January 2016 release I think we can now safely say what a terrible year this was for MonsterArts. Aside from Gamera. Hope we get better stuff next year.
More Showa would be cool, but I hate the weird scale thing they've got going on with these. Is anyone even giving a damn? I would rather have bigger Showa MA's than a weird scale which makes no sense. That being said, Showa Mechagodzilla would be a must-have for me. |

They should just change the name to SH MonsterRepaints.
At this point, I would take any Showa MA in any scale, be it the 64 scale or standard ones. I mean seriously, they are just milking the Heisei stuff now. A poster variant? What next, battle damaged Space Godzilla? I'm about ready to call it quits on the MA line and just fine a different Godzilla line to support. I've thought about the X-Plus stuff, but they are so damn expensive. $500 for Ghidorah is just too much. Last edited by Dr Kain; 07-15-2015 at 12:32 AM.. |

There's a new interview on Toho Kingdom regarding the Monsterarts line...brace yourselves!
Interview: Bandai Japan: S.H. MonsterArts (2015) What I got out of that interview: The fact that they mention " new category template" for the same character tells me that a zero arts line is in the works at this point. Honestly, outside of a Rose Biollante zero art, I won't be collecting that type of line. I want articulated kaiju with good to amazing sculpts, not statues. The other thing that I got out of the interview was the mention of pulling back on the line and waiting for a new opportunity to present itself. Outside of a movie year, they're not planning on pushing the line with new figures. That doesn't bode well or show confidence for the line in non-media years. I'll still collect the main line, but the repaints are starting to become tiresome. I understand why they're made. It's good business practice for toy companies to cover their costs, but I may have to become more selective of the repaint choices. The only real positive I got out of this was Gamera did well. Good to hear! I hope that opens the door for Gyaos or Legion. I'd buy them in a heartbeat! Anyway, I was thinking of posting on Bluefin's FB page to campaign for a SHMA Titanosaurus again, but after this interview, I think it's a wasted effort.

Wow... I was pretty sad reading this. Seems like the times of 4-5 new Godzilla SHMA releases in the year are over. From now on it's more repaints and... statues.
... Fuck you too Bandai. It's good to hear that Gamera did well, but I dont care about Gamera, so... meh. The only positive thing out of this is that we'll see some new brands in the line soon, this could be interesting. |
