Alright, a couple updates to note.

Tamashii.jp, Bandai's official website for all things collector-oriented, finally has a section devoted to S.H. MonsterArts: http://tamashii.jp/item/itemlist.php?pref=104

Here we see Godzilla has an official release date at last, November 19th. It's still early, so we'll probably get a date for Mechagodzilla closer to/during December.

Next of course is the beautiful Spacegodzilla on the TokuNation frontpage and also reposted on TFW's own MonsterArts thread, but in such a way as to hype what's coming. REDACTED indeed!

Finally, and a bit of bad news yet unconfirmed, is a potential delay in the release of SHMA Godzilla via Amazon.com. For a while now they'd been touting a release date of the 15th, already today my time, but supposedly orders are now getting delayed. I can't get hard confirmation yet, whether Amazon simply accepted far too many preorders and can't fill them all, this simply reflects the confirmed date of the 19th in Japan, or if something else is afoot.

Reviews have started to come in. I'm still impressed, but the biggest issue seen with some of the Godzillas is the eyes. They look like separate pieces installed into the head, which makes sense, and for some reason the piece they're on gets misaligned within the head. I imagine there are ways to fix this if yours suffers from this problem.
