Mothra is apparently painted in more vibrant colors, and what they want to achieve is the look in the movie when she flies at night and is illuminated by the city lights.

The Larva is painted glossy which is supposed to make it look wet because it swam to Japan.

And if you think that sounds like they pulled some shit out of their butts to sell an old figure again, that's most likely because it is the case here.

They could have at least put Mothra in Showa colors...

Is it both Mothras in one set or two separate releases? If it's the former I guess that's one cool thing about it for anyone who hadn't picked them up beforehand.

Seeing how the price is $180, I'm going to say both.

So this is on the front-page of the Tamashii website today:

The text not only states that this figure will be featured in the magazines releasing at the end of April (which probably means that’s when they announce the release date) but also that there’s a gimmick with this figure.

(Google translation: "Well, what is the gimmick hidden in this design ...?!")

Considering this thing is apparently expensive as fuck (17500 Yen) it might actually transform in some way.

The Tamashii pick-up notice for September reveals not only the Tamashii Mix Poster Mechagodzilla as a retail release in that month but also a Poster repaint of the 90's Godzilla which will be released in September as well:

I am sooo pumped for the Poster MG. Finally a new sculpt for one. And it invokes the 90's to a T. I love it. Big and bolky too. Being a Chogokin it is going to a sturdy beast.


... So can we please put all of our attention on that and not the repaint please?
After Shin I jumped the line for a reason. This is one of them. It's getting to SRC Mazinger levels now.

Mecha Godzilla is gorgeous but I just can't justify that price :(

Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep enjoying it from afar and wait for the Showa version to eventually get released.

That's pretty much my stance on the matter as well.

It looks fantastic but is ultimately too pricey for a design which originated from a poster.

Oh look, ANOTHER Heisei Godzilla repaint.

I give up. I haven't bought a MA in nearly 2 years.
