[Baltan II]

Wow. What a set of reveals to wake up to!

First things first: Godzilla. That breath effect and spine coloration looks fantastic, and so does the subtle inclusion of a MUTO head! Here's to hoping this is a positive sign we'll see more of the MUTO at a later point. I have nothing against it, but I won't be mad if the "burning" poster variant never sees the light of day. It feels like the kind of display piece to show off but not actually come out. Of course, it's an easy exclusive deco later too.

We haven't (yet) seen any other MonsterArts, and I have tempered expectations, but something else classic Godzilla or anything Gamera would be swell.

Ultra-Act... re-enacting and adding to the infamous Tiga variant display, with the stone Tiga no less, is crazy! As before, I'm not expecting all of them to be released, maybe Glitter Tiga. They're also rather expected but great to see Burning Brave and Tsurugi. Manga Ultraman and Yulian are much bigger, VERY welcome surprise reveals. Yulian completes the Showa cast more or less, hopefully forcing Bandai's hand to work on at least one villain!

Garo's return and renewal Gavan are unexpected but totally make me smile, as do the new Metal Hero reveals.
