I'll mess around with Mogera in a bit.

Got to actually play around with my recently aquired Mogera, and snap a few pics.

I have to admit that Mogera turned out really nice for the Monsterarts line even though he isn't my favorite mech. I couldn't find any real QC issues with this figure. Tamashii seems to be getting better with those type of problems.

If there was a complaint, while having a good deal of points of articulation, movement can be somewhat limited. It's more of a design flaw with Mogera, than a QC issue. Still, you can get some nice poses out of him. I really like the interchangeable parts that allow for his flying mode too.

One of the best things about Mogera are the accessories. The missiles and effects for them are pretty neat. The smoke plumes coming out of Mogera's hands have some nicely sculpted details too. There are a number of options on how you want to display him given all the accessories.

I'm glad I picked him up! Now, just waiting on Little G to finish the players from G vs. SG!

Would anybody else buy Diorama/Building set pieces for their Monsterarts figures if Ban Dai offered them?

Hell yeah! My Kaijus needs some cities to trash.

Most definitely. I've been looking into getting into model-building myself, solely because of SHM.

It seems SH Monsterarts Mothra was released early into the wild. She was chillin' in a bush in front of my house.

Images are starting to trickle out from the SDCC on Bluefin Tamashii's Facebook page and twitter:

We get a better look of the final product in and out of the box. Looks pretty sweet!

I'm hoping we see some new stuff tonight!

Another pic from SDCC:

I want this diorama!

I can see KG's tail on the left, and Little G on the far right. Hope we get some new reveals soon!

I would be all over that if they did it. Picked up some of the Ultra-City sets a while back for that very purpose, but they just look too generic next to the MonsterArts figures.

Anyone make it to SDCC this year? If you made it by the bluefin booth.. Post some pics!!

I was trying like hell to find someone to pick me up a burning Godzilla but... the damn hasbro booth was all they were going to. Guess I'm gonna have to pay a ebay premium

I would, but I've been looking into alternative means in the way of Shapeways 3d. Wouldn't be too hard to get them made.. but I don't have any models to submit nor the time. Scale would be an issue as well. Speaking of, what scale do you use (regardless of "actual")?

I'm using the S.H. Monsterarts in a 1:500 scale due to several reasons.

1- I've found plenty of ship models in this scale to do dioramas
2- The t-gauge scale train (1:450) is damn close enough
3- Herpa planes and airports are in the 1:500 scale. This one also offers several buildings, people and more so this isn't so hard to come by. Not as much as whats offered in 1:700 but still quite a bit.

And since the figure is about 6" tall that would put him about 1:500 (if you went by the 80 meter height) he would be 77 meters tall in this scale.

This is what I found for a run down on his height changes over the years

Showa series era
1954-1975- 50 meters tall (164')

Heisei series era
1984-1989- 80 meters tall (262')
1991-1995- 100 meters tall (328') The S.H. Monsterarts so far have featured monsters from this era

Millennium series era
2000-2004- 80 meters tall (262')
