New Monsterarts Shin figure
 

It depicts Shin Godzilla as he is firing his beam.

Makes me glad I didn't bother with the first release.

I KNEW this would be released, but wasn't sure if the spines would be purple or not, so I picked up the original just in case.
Is there a closer/clearer picture of the text?

Oh, cool.

Still not sure how I feel about the '16 design, but it's nice that this is an option.

This is also a Japanese exclusive like the previous Shin figure.

And a web exclusive. Still debating on this, I like the additional paint apps, but I worry about how the final product is gonna be.

Wait, what you mean it's Japanese exclusive? Is Bluefin not releasing it?

Web exclusive release from the Bandai Premium shop. Retails for $140 and released July 2027. This is another Japan exclusive and will NOT be distributed by Bluefin to the US.

Yes, but I meant on Bluefin's side. They told us like two years ago that they had rights to ALL MonsterArts products whether it was a web exclusive or not. Why would they suddenly not have them?

If it's not coming to the US then I'll simply pass. I don't like the design enough to bother going out of my way for it, especially when I still need to get the 54 and GMK Godzillas and those are designs I like.

It appears that all figure related to Shin are Japanese exclusives and cant be released in the States or by Bluefin.
