Also helps that is Monster Art is the most poseable out of the ones I have (which is basically the first four they made, still need to get the rest).

Honestly, I prefer the Heisei series over the Showa. The only reason the Showa series is as highly regarded as it is is because of nostalgia. Don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy most of the movies, but regardless of how dumb the plot to Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is, I find the movies to be superior, especially thanks to its continuity that went on throughout the entire era of movies. I find the monster suits to be superior, as they don't look like they are going to fall apart at any given moment, the monsters do not perform gymnastics, the effects are a lot more flash thanks to the amount of night time battles, and the music rocks.

Again, I don't hate the Showa era, but the movies became hit or miss after Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster. Monster Zero was a weak follow up and started the annoying alien subplots. Then we went to three horrific movies with Minilla. Thankfully, they gave us Destroy All Monsters, but then it went right back in the dumps until Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, especially with Megalong and Hedorah, which are two of the worst movies in the entire franchise.

With that said, the only Showa monsters I would buy are 54 Godzilla, Mothra, Gigan, and Anguirus. Well, maybe I would also get the Showa MG, but that would depend on when it were to come out.
