Could I please ask a quick question? Is this the official page on Amazon or is this one of the dozen bootleg pages that have appeared recently?

https://www.amazon.com/TwCare-Godzilla- ... 14&sr=8-51

I've always been meaning to get the SpaceGodzilla, has it already gone out of stock?

Is that Godzilla a recolored KotM version, or (finally) a new GvK sculpt?

About 150$ for the set.

Fuck no. Why can't they just release Kong with axe as a separate thing? It would sell. ugggggh.

This feels worse than the Fire Godzilla figure. Hnng.

I got a question. Im trying to get a super premium Godzilla by the end of the year. A number of sellers have them warped for far cheaper than the normal price, so do any of you know if I would be able to fix this:

I absolutely hate buying damaged figures, but Id be saving $400 to $600 potentially so if there is a way to fix it I might just have to jump on that.

I’d have to see more pictures to really get an idea, but that left (our right) shin looks completely crushed in on itself. My gut reaction says “good luck with that…” :freak:

Based solely on that photo, IF it’s salvageable, I’d expect to have to create some kind of internal support because the vinyl clearly can’t support it’s own weight any more.

I wouldn't bother. Maybe a smaller figure that looked like that could be repaired, but something that size, that heavy and with vinyl that thick could be very hard to repair without having to really go in there and doing a lot of work. Doesn't seem worth it.

Just got my set secured. I like these figures. Kong with axe was expectable and the translucent blue Godzilla actually looks very nice.

I'm glad they didn't go with S.H.MonstetArts figures for Godzilla & Kong this time, like they did with both Japan Premium BR sets for G'14 & KOTM. That would have easily cost $200 upwards.

Size DOES matter!

Don't make my wallet angry. You wouldn't like it when it's angry.

I gotta ask, how does something like this happen? Did someone put some heavy ass books on top of it? Did it get crushed in transit?

I ask because currently I have some of the bandais on top of each other to save space (no space currently). I don't put anything heavy, but for example, I've put Servum and Mothra 2019 on top/back of some of the bulkier figures.

If I had a guess, probably putting it way too close to a window during a hot summer. I cant think of any other way that could happen.
Thats actually one of my biggest (probably irrational) fears. I live in Florida and a lot of my figures come in super soft after being in a hot mail car for many hours, so Im always worried that they will warp, even if its probably unlikely. Thankfully by the time I get the big figure it will be late December.

I personally don't put figures on top of each other for that reason. I had my Bandai Shin 2nd form resting on my Bandai MUTO for a while and it bent the MUTO legs pretty bad. Granted they're very thin vinyl but better safe than sorry.
