Yeah, shelf space is the reason I haven't bought Destoroyah. I can barely fit Ghidorah in my glass case. There is no way in hell Destoroyah's going to fit.

Man I hope Zilla get's a monster arts release. Pretty awesome giant monster design.

I've posted some extremely hi-res pics of Kiryu at my site: http://www.poeghostal.com/2013/06/am...rts-kiryu.html

Had some spare Amazon gift card money so I decided to grab Godzilla Jr. I think I like Burning G more but Jr is still a good figure. The detail is great and it's nice to have a mini(er) Godzilla, I just wish he had the same level of articulation as his dad. Will most likely grab King Kong or Little G next unless Mogera goes on sale at HLJ again.

Is Monster Arts King Kong worth buying? Since he's basically just a well articulated gorilla...

Absolutely positively goddamn right he's worth buying. He's probably one of the best and most fun MonsterArts releases so far. He's hardly "just" a well articulated gorilla.

While I have mixed feelings on King Kong as a movie, I did like the design (it was only later, when I read other Kong materials, that I realized the 1933 Kong wasn't really supposed to be a true ape). And even if SHMA Kong was just a gorilla, I love gorillas, so getting a super-articulated gorilla is just as cool.

Then what is he?

He's a very dynamic Kong figure that comes with a ton more accessories (extra hands and faces, so closer to a normal Figuarts figure in that regard compared to other MonsterArts figures, plus a couple other things) that creates a really fun, enjoyable Kong that's in-scale with other MonsterArts releases while providing as much or more bang for your buck than any other MonsterArts release to date.

Plus he makes a much better "modern" compliment to the other two MonsterArts Heisei Godzillas.

I'm not sure what else you could be looking for or expecting.

OMG the Naomi Watts hand!

And it isn't so much 'what do I expect' but King Kong in the movies is a giant frickin gorilla hell yeah!

But when you scale that down to figure size, I was just wondering what exactly sets him apart from other gorilla toys. I don't think extra heads really swings it for me.
