It’s basically the toy-equivalent to generation loss. The later releases of the Imperial Godzilla especially suffer from that as they look like they were cast from existing figures and not the master mold. The plastic is a lot cheaper as well and nothing like the rubber used for the earlier ones.

Got my work bonus and went ahead and got SHMA Ultima and MG21, along with Ultra Hero Series of Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey.

New Y-MSF Open Mouth, Dark Horse Comics Colored Godzilla 1989 & Minilla

Trendmasters Bendy Rodan to go with my other bendies of the line.

And to go with my new Marmit Godzilla 2002, a new Kiryu. This one based on 2003 and a color scheme I like A LOT better than my old one which I recently parted ways with. This one is a 2005 Toy Fest exclusive.

Something about that shiny silver and purple hue that I just LOVE.

^ Why does that G89 look so unhappy? Not even angry, just sad or frustrated or something.

He looks more like he's trying to squeeze out a stubborn turd.

Oh wow, those look great. I think some would criticize the Biogoji sculpt, but I really like it.

Funny you mention that, as this biogoji was resculpted slightly to fix the weird neck. Its not exactly what I wanted but it looks pretty good still. In the time since I asked my artist to resculpt it Ive warmed up to the original sculpt quite a bit.

Your bio-goji resculpt/repaint reminds me of Godzilla from that children’s book “Who’s Afraid of Godzilla?”

Man, I didn’t even know about that Dark Horse Godzilla figure. Between that and the reprints, does anyone know why that series is getting so much love right now?

What’s this about dark horse reprints? Are they issuing tpb’s or something?

Not exactly a toy, but my wife got me this for my B-Day:

Image

It’s amazing because I have an expensive bike, and while japan is relatively safe on things like that, it feels like a gift with utility and purpose+Godzilla, which is the things I love.

She also got me a Chibi Gojira shirt, which is nice.

Fuck the bike, I'd steal the lock. :P

I like it when artists take liberties. Although I love suit accurate sculpts, it gets a little boring after a while when all of your figures start to look the same.
