Looking forward to the Monsterarts GMK Godzilla figure. I'm hoping with the new movie coming out later this year, it might rev up the line again (not counting zero figures).

Anyway, did some more rearranging on the collection, and wanted to do a reshoot on the '64 Godzilla. It's still one of my favorite sculpts from Yuji Sakai!

Now I usually have a hard time photographing this figure, as the clear lens that cover each eye tend to look odd or off depending on the lighting. I think I was able to get the eyes to look decent in the shots. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Nice pics! :thumb:

Pre-orders for Shin Godzilla are now up on AmiAmi

Solid figure. If you're a fan of GMK Godzilla like I am, this guy is a must.

It looks really good. Wish I could afford it, freakin' Web-Exclusives man.

BBTS has gotten my GMK Godzilla in, but I'm not sure I want to spend $80 on a toy with loose joints galore. I may cancel my order and wait until the price drops a bit in a few months.

Mine is perfectly fine. Only issue is slight loose right arm, but it hasn't come off.

So, I am very excited that Monsterarts is alive and well. I am really digging some of the new figures, especially the 1989 Godzilla with LEDs. Eva-1 is cool but not really for me and I am not too sure I am liking the new 2016 Godzilla, but I will have to see the movie when it comes out. Are we going to get any other characters besides....ummmm....Godzilla??? I mean, I love the big guy and all his iterations (except maybe 2016), but I'd love to see some other characters.

Burning Godzilla

You know what woudl have been actually super? A 75 MechaG!

It looks like Bluefin is not releasing SHMA Shin Godzilla in the US. This is from the S.H.Monsterarts - The Articulation Series FB Page.

https://www.facebook.com/SHMonsterar...69700/?fref=ts

I take what the guy says with a grain of salt. Unless he has a statement from Bluefin, he is full of ****.

Michal Shipman runs the S.H.Monsterarts - The Articulation Series FB Page and he has been known to have a good connection with Bluefin.

Kain should be nicer, or I'll just keep telling Tamashii Nations to never do Showa Era monsters!

;-)

:lol

Glad the SHMA Shin isn't coming stateside. About time US fans realize just how good they have it. The amount of panic I've seen from them on how to import this thing is utterly hilarious.

I got my '54 figure the other day and despite all the mixed reviews about SHMA QC I'm really happy with mine. I can say I finally have the monster that started it all!

and the paint isn't that bad in my opinion. Its not like I display it under such bright lights to begin with.

I just wanted to share. The joints on my figure are too tight nor are they in any way loose. I couldn't be happier with it and I have no regrets here what-so-ever! If you guys have bought (or plan to) I hope your experience with it is as good, if not better than mine.

I usually don't care for other monsters than Godzilla but I've been eyeing Gamera for awhile now. Does anyone here have any experience with it? I'm not really a fan of the stomach gimmick but the overall quality of the figure.

Gamera is amazing. However, I recommend not open his chest cannon thing up because the pieces don't like to go back in place and sometimes opening them up makes them loose.

Good to know. I like the overall design of it, especially the shell and tail, detail looks great!

Here's my pics of SHMA Shin Godzilla:

I missed out on Shin Godzilla, but he's going for crazy prices online now :( Do you suppose they'll ever re release him?

It looks like SHMA Burning Godzilla 2.0 figure is not so great going by this review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ubNpx_P0hQ

How did they mess up what is pretty much a repaint?

The eyes look bad too. I felt like Tamashii Nations have been lazy with the line lately.

Lazy is understatement. It's flat out not giving a shit. Bandai is seeing they can put out piss poor figures at these prices and they sell. For me, they haven't put anything out worthwhile since Gamera.

Am I glad that Mechagodzilla requires no extensive paintjob. Although they will probably still find a way to fuck that one up :lol

I'm kinda glad I haven't bought into this line seeing some of the reactions here. I'm a huge Godzilla fan and really wanted a lot of these but of course didn't have the funds for them....blessing in disguise?

Some of the SHMA figures are pretty great. However it seems like only Godzilla sells and we haven't had any new monsters in the line for a while. SHMA have a big price tag, so they have been reported to collect dust at retail stores.

Not sure if this is major news or not, but looks like S.H. Monsterarts is about to reveal a new figure soon...

http://shma-articulationseries.com/u...-releases.html

Actually that spot is always left blank for the next reveal. Plus, 95% chance it's just going to be something that deals with the Heisei era since Bandai has a real hard on for it.

Well, no. I check that site frequently and that blank spot is not there on a consistent basis. In fact, it is the first time I can remember seeing it. And if you click on it, there is a flashing red light and a headline that says "Incoming Figure" which I have never seen. Not saying it hasn't happened before, but if it was, you would have to catch it at the right time....before the figure was actually announced.

It is something new. The image is a placeholder for the upcoming announcement. Tamashii Nations will drop the reveal. Just know it's coming.

A fragile little voice in me hopes it's actually the Showa Mechagodzilla.

The cold breath of reality screams it’s just another lame repaint. Or the Movie Poster Mechagodzilla. Which would beat a repaint for sure, but is still not what I want.

I am also just noticing this.....

http://shma-articulationseries.com/m...countdown.html

Not sure how long it has been there, but it does show some promise as they show all monsters (hover over the blank ones to see them). There are a LOT of blank ones though so I'm sure there are ones we will never see, but at least there is hope for more Showa monsters.

You do know that's a fan-site, right? I could make a site like that for Figuarts, make a blank tile for Kiva, and then what? Would that mean Kiva is coming soon?

I realize that the one who hosts this site works with Tamashii and gets info from them but I don’t see how a complete roster that's slowly filled out with figures is an indication for anything other than what monsters they haven't done yet.

Chill out dude! You do realize this is a fan forum, right? Like, for discussing the hobby and stuff?? Does that mean only absolutely 100% accurate information can be posted?

It says it is an "Official S.H. Monsterarts Articulation series page". Also, I did not conclude that because they are listed means they are guaranteed to get released. All I said is that it is "promising".

Official is a bit of a stretch. Naruto65, the dude behind the site, got hired by Bandai for his articulation videos, but that is all. The man is a pompous jerk who acts like will say things like, "Oh, you might see that come out next year," pretending like he knows what figures are coming out, getting your hopes up, only to not have that happen.

I agree with you. That guy really needs to chill he acts like he owns the site. I'm tired of people belittle others just because of so so reason.
