S.H. MonsterArts - Godzilla, Gamera & more!

Baltan II · 10-26-2011, 01:11 AM

S.H. MonsterArts by Bandai Japan is the latest spinoff of the successful S.H. Figuarts action figure line. This line started with the intention to feature the giant monsters of kaiju eiga by focusing on the Godzilla series of films from the 1990s (for now), also referred to as the Heisei era films. The approx. six-inch line is giving us the monsters we love but with real articulation!

The line has grown since the start of this thread to include Peter Jackson's King Kong, Alien and Predator, Gamera from Gamera 2, and of course more Godzilla characters from throughout the length of the franchise.

Bluefin, the company licensed to release Bandai's collector lines to the United States, has made a point of emphasizing the domestic release of the SHMA toyline. Most of the standard releases are currently available on Amazon.com, as should all future "Tamashii Web" releases. Mmmm, free shipping...

Oh no I'm definitely interested. As much as I love me my superhero action... men in rubber monster suits is my jam.

Crap, Mechagodzilla! Might buy that one and the space one if ever released.

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.

I ordered my Godzilla from BBTS. Should be here next week. I'm poor and these dudes are expensive so it will probably be my only one but I am super psyched for a poseable Godzilla!

Reigner · 01-05-2012, 02:29 PM

As Baltan knows, yes I'm interested. But I have no idea what these figures are like as I've been waiting since before Thanksgiving for my Godzilla to get here from Aamiami
