Nothing, yet. It is very possible we'll never see anything of them ever again, yet they've got a better chance of becoming a reality than Utsuno Ikusagami does, that's for sure.

"Who?"

Precisely. :p

If it meant having Orochi as well, why not? Now you're going to make me dig through the stack of vhs tapes and hook up a vcr to watch that movie.

Same things goes for the Vajra from Macross Frontier. After that one display at a show they've never been seen or heard of again :(

That seems to be a reoccurring problem...

Anyway, random question. If they made a Kaiju monster from a video game, which line would it be under, D-Arts or MonsterArts?

Good question. Pokemon are monsters but are in D-Arts. But they're more cartoony. If they did Shadow of the Colossus monsters that would be tricky. I suppose they'd put them in D-Arts.

Here's another question: suppose Tamashii Nations got the Pacific Rim license. Would the monsters be in MonsterArts and the robots be in Super Robot Chogokin? Or would they all be in MonsterArts?

You can't know for sure which way they'd go, after all the sentai mechs are in SRC...

In the case of macross and evangellion, the mecha were robot damashii while the adversaries were proposed monsterarts. I guess they would follow suit for a Pacific Rim license. Then there's the Ultra-act model, put everything under one line. If that were the case, most likely all of the releases would be monsterarts.

Hmm...For Pacific Rim, I think SRC would be a solid choice to release them under.

First, high-five for knowing what I meant off the bat. Second, after the clusterfuck of complaints following Ghidorah and the smattering of ones for Biollante's size and price, no way in this universe Bandai is ever doing MonsterArts Orochi. :lol It would be nice if Yamato Takeru got MonsterArts love, but I have a feeling the response to the SHMA display the year Ikusagami was shown off was a lot more about the other figures present and not him.

The Vajra isn't in too bad a position yet, it showed up for the first time last fall. Give it more than a year with no word or appearance and then get worried.

The various Angels, especially Sachiel/whatever they call him in Rebuild, have appeared more than once. I bet at least one of them will finally happen in time.

Pokémon were originally considered for MonsterArts only for comparison to other potential SHMA concepts and because there was a potential issue with Pokémon and Digimon sharing the same toyline, which obviously smoothed over. As video game characters first and foremost, D-Arts always made the most sense as their home. It'll never happen but Shadow of the Colossus figures would probably end up in D-Arts. It's definitely a series of designs that would be in better hands with the MonsterArts crew, given their detail...

Everything for a line like Pacific Rim would probably be in MonsterArts. You don't see SRC Mechagodzillas and Moguera, after all. I could also see the value in splitting the line up and handing the Jaegers to the SRC team. Robot Damashii definitely wouldn't touch them.

Bluefin just confirmed they're bringing over Biollante. No price yet.

S.H. MonsterArts Biollante

So much like the Eva Angels, rumor has it some other new prototypes will be on display very soon to gauge fan opinions. This time, it's Alien Vs. Predator figures at SDCC.
