Wow...that Space-Godzilla is just......

wow.......

He just got here yesterday but I only had time today to open and play with him. This figure looks amazing. The level of detail is by far the thing I am most impressed about. That detail however comes at a cost. This sucker is not very poseable at all save for the tail (that part is crazy posable). In fact, I can't even get the figure to look down. That being said, I am very happy with my purchase and hope to get Mecha and Space Godzillas in the future.

Now for some pics (with a King Kong stand-in for comparison). Sorry, these are iphone pics.

My two cent opinion about these figures is that their awesome, but with some minor...really small gripes, but that bares in comparison of how cool these things are. And I'm hooked on this line.

My Godzilla should be here tomorrow. Just ordered my Mechagodzilla today.

Godzilla's been reduced to blasting hippies now?


For shame.

Got Godzilla today. Loving it. My first Godzilla toys were the Trendmasters ones from the 90s. Loved them. Since then it seems they're only vinyls and gashapons. I have some of each. They are nice but not the kind of toys I really get excited about.

This dude is boss. Yeah, his articulated range is limited by the character design and sculpt, but you can get some really expressive poses out of him with a bit of patience. The upside to this is that at no point does smooth unsculpted plastic from joints show through the toy. He looks great from every angle. The atomic blast is a crazy fun accessory.


I understand that if you wanted a super crazy poseable monster figure you could be disappointed. But for a Godzilla fan and a toy fan, the price point is worth it for the sculpt and the range of movement he does have. As a kid that loved Godzilla and toys but was unhappy with the vinyl and minifig selection of recent years, this is a godsend.

Mechagodzilla gets here tomorrow. I'm broke now so I will probably be passing on Space Godzilla. He was never one of my favorite so I don't mind. I will be totally pleased when the future brings me a King Ghidora and a 1954 Gojira. While finances will most likely force me to pass on the majority of this line if I get those two in the future I will be 100% happy.

Awesome pic!

Space Godzilla is my favorite thing ever and may be the only thing I get from the line for a while just due to how much it costs. But goddamn I'll love him with all my heart.

That said, I'll need to jump on it as soon as he's on Amazon.

Mechagodzilla is here.

Mini Review!

Good: He is NICE. He looks great. The proportions and scale both seem spot on b/w him and Godzilla. He has a broader range of motion in the arms legs and midsection than Godzilla due to the robotic design being less limiting. He has some die cast parts which are nice as well. They visually matched the plastic perfectly. They add some nice heft to those areas. He has an extra set of hands, base, stand and energy beam, alternate midsection for his grenade weapon, and an alternate neck to allow for flying pose.

Not super good: He feel imbalanced. His metal parts are nice and solid but his plastic parts feel hollow and flimsy. The added weight from the die cast parts drags down on the plastic parts, leaving him with some looser articulation in the hips. I much prefer Godzilla's solid chunky feel. Also, because of this, swapping parts is SCARY. I haven't had anything break but its pretty scary hearing that plastic snap every time you swap anything. I feel I could give Godzilla to a kid and as worst something pops off a ball and you pop it back in. Mecha-G I would be afraid of breakage. The posts on the wrist joint for swapping hands are tiny and thin. The tail and neck have no real articulation points so there is not a lot of play. They snap in and out harshly. Also, while his arms and legs have a better range of motion than G, his neck is only a swivel at the head witha little play in the lower neck and his tail is static. The tail is supposed to be static so I don't mind, but I would have gladly given up a little bit of accuracy in the detail behind his neck to allow for some vertical movement. He can pretty much only shoot his beam at a downward angle unless you lean him really far back.

Again, I like MechaG and if this is your favorite kaiju, he's probably the best version out there. I am a Godzilla fan though, so either way I would like him better. But even given his limited range of movement, I think the regular Godzilla is a better toy, as far as being able to comfortable play with him. If you plan on picking a pose and displaying them they are almost even, with MechaG coming out a head due to more range of movement and more accessories. Wish he was priced closer to 60, or his plastic parts were solid.

I will most likely be sitting out Space Godzilla, though I expect him to be more similar to Godzilla in his build quality and range of movement.
