The only issue I see is the teeth. Everything else looks fine.

The red on his mouth looks bad. It looks like that he just finish eating a cherry pie.

MonsterArts Gamera from Gamera 2, January 2015, retail release at 9504 yen after Japanese sales tax, comes with new flame breath effect and wings.

$100 is too much for Gamera.

Finally we get Gamera. I was wondering if this would ever be released.

And thus, I'll be buying my second MonsterArt.

Gyaos soon please?

Posted this elsewhere, but then I remembered "oh yeah, we have a thread on this"... So yeah.

MonsterArts Legendary/2014 Godzilla.

All this shitting on it has me seriously worried about mine and me not liking it and regretting passing on the NECA one. :/

So maybe somebody here will actually listen to me (unlike a certain sister site...) and try to actually explain what's so bad about it. I get the teeth paint not being clean. The revelation of the potential for lazy eye seems pretty bad. But those are two arguably small things to completely throw out any appreciation for the figure whatsoever and declare NECA's "the winner." "Oh, it's just better" does not satisfy me as a consumer. It's not an explanation.

A lot of butthurt in the Godzilla collection-community comes from this being the 60-anniversary figure made by Tamashii for the big birthday. Instead of G54. And when the figure showed lacking paint-apps, they totally jumped the gun and felt the urging need to downgrade this figure as much as possible. Like, saying the cheap NECA-one with the bendable tail is "better". That NECA also has pretty mediocre paint-apps and the fact that the big NECA-figure is a QC-Nightmare, is easily forgotten as it seems. NECA still delivers good figures for the money, but I don’t like them being compared to Tamashii all the time.

Oh, and you are also a criminal for buying this figure, because you support cheap paint-apps. Somehow.

The people who actually own this figure are pretty happy with it, really good sculpt, articulation and the paint is great, except for the head of course. This is a fact that cant be ignored: The paint on the teeth and eyes is bad. But if it bugs you, buy some white acrylic-paint and paint it over.

The thing is, the people who own the figure and have big problems with it are the loudest. The paint-apps on mine are fairly decent.

If you do end up wanting the NECA one, I'll sell you mine for $20 shipped. I bought it as a placeholder at first, but it just didn't cut it for me. Paint apps rarely bother me too much. I'm an articulation junkie. So better articulation wins every time. Even if the paint apps do suck.

I can't wait to get my Goji '14. Still waiting on a few things before my Sept order ships.
