4 Attachment(s)
Full body shots for Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah as well as Godzilla himself are on display at Tokyo Comic Con!
Full story |
Lord have mercy they look so beautiful!!
|
I like how Mothra is redesign to show her being more capable of combat.
|
Those are all damn fantastic. King G and Rodan both look spot-on and Mothra's slight redesign makes her look intimidating.

*faints*

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. |

But on the other side of that, Godzilla has more of a world-wide presence and market. Though both have their own stores. With the Godzilla store being bigger, but merchandise surges in sales are definitely around movie years. As cultural icons though, both are engrained in Japan for the natural conveyance of internal nation fears and hopes, as well as how those have grown and evolved over the years. With their respective media acting as a kind of barometer of climate. I'd say give monster arts some time to really try what they want to do, but toy techniques are an ever evolving thing in finding the right approach for Kaiju like creations. Different ones call for different emphasis which is where a lot of that experimentation comes from. Plus Toho is very particular about their baby. |
Legendary Godzilla, still to this day looks just right, Mothra looks beautiful and lethal, Rodan feels more like a red wyvern than a red pterodactyl and I am digging that, and King-G is just... to quote Ice Cube, "drippin' swagoo". :lolol
And yes I am aware his son will be in this movie. |

Well, I was wondering how they may cover the missing head which is what had me thinking about that. But in hindsight, I'm guessing the simple answer is he regrew it. But heck yes the cast is awesome in this one! Really looking forward to how it turns out. |
that mothra design .... not sure how i feel yet
|
I'm glad that KG does not look like something ripped straight from Game of Thrones, Elder Scrolls or The Lord of the Rings/Hobbit series. I was worried about the popularity of those fantasy series was going to influence the look of KG.
|
Legendary really nailed it I think with the designs.Last time I was this excited was when I saw Spider-Man on Civil War I think. :rock:

These designs are all really good! I'm excited to see all of them in a movie.
Christ, Ghidorah's wings are huge. |
Holy crap, look at that Ghidorah!
|
All of them look cool. I do like Mothra the most.
|
Very excited for these, but is that all the pics we get??? Surely someone has taken many views of these, or are photos prohibited at the show?
|
There are other angles if you look on social media.
|
I'll probably not be able to personally justify the cost I'm sure will come with Ghidorah, nevermind find the space for it... But goddamn does it look good.
These designs definitely excite me though and I'm really looking forward to seeing them in action now. |

All of them look grate it's about this we see something like this.
|
These all look amazing. I'm really taken with the lava-field-like wing pattern on Rodan. Also I appreciate the adjustments to Goji's feet and dorsal plates.
|
Once again those pics prove that Legendary's Godzilla design is far superior than Gainax and Netflix's Godzilla design.
