Huh... I actually feel very conflicted about these. On one side, it's amazing that they go all-in with the monsters. They could’ve played it safe and just made another Godzilla.

On the other side... I'm waiting for MonsterArts to finally die. It's doing basically nothing these days and the bad QC is still too relevant for me to get excited over the few new announcements there are.

I feel like Godzilla is long overdue to enter the Figuarts-line like Ultraman did. Of course, popularity is a factor I cannot judge properly, apparently Ultraman sells better than Godzilla (mostly because Ultraman is more of an active franchise these days) but still: The way for future Godzilla-figures should be Figuarts. The Aliens and Monsters from Ultraman they made as Figuarts were far better than any modern MonsterArts-release. I want the same care and attention to detail for Godzilla figures.

As far as these particular releases go, while I'm glad they exist, I don’t think they are that good as action figures. Ghidorah with these clamps that support the wings looks dumb and the only articulated parts are the necks and basic joints at the legs - really? The others don't look that exciting either. They are all more statues than anything else.
