What Toy Did You Just Buy?

[Mac Daddy MM]

Finally got the Marmit Vinyl Wars Shin Godzilla Purple Heat Ray Version!





...now, which Shin here is best? The highly articulated, highly detailed SHMA Frozen? The insanely accurate Banpresto? Or the impressively stylized Marmit with its purple spines? Hmmmm

Having the same figures but in different variants (Regular Marmit and SHMA, purple Banpresto), I have to give it to Banpresto.

Wondering if anyone has any of these, but I recently purchased a U.S. Toys Baragon. They're another company that specializes in small made in Japan collectible vinyls and I've never seen them discussed much

This is not the one I got, it's a nicer color (light brown and green), but you get the idea:


Kind of afraid to open it. It's really cute and mint.

The Banpresto is indeed amazing (and you have the best variant of it). I still can't decide! They all compliment each other really well, I need to get a proper shelf to display them.

Cant believe I just spent nearly $500 on Shin figures. I go from not collecting for eight years to going overboard lol

A very unfortunate issue that I think many people will understand.

I just got the bootleg King Ghidorah Special Color version. Bought it from Ebay last week, arrived today! It looks awesome and honestly, the joints are a lot better than the ones from my original Ghidorah years ago. This one has nice firm, posable joints. My original Ghidorah kept falling apart at the neck joints and tails! The only real problem with the bootleg is that it's missing the wing joint covers so they're a little exposed, but it's not something that bothers me. One segment of the tail can pop off easily if you extend or move it too much but it stays in place once you've posed it. Yeah, the tail is very posable! My original Ghidorah's tail couldn't really be posed because it just liked laying flat on the ground. This bootleg can curl and form a wave with its tails. The wings, as others have reported, fit loosely on the wing joint so you need to put tissue paper inside to make the wings stay in place and not fall off. Very easy fix! Other than that, the bootleg Ghidorah has somewhat wobbly knees, but they're not bad as you can still move and pose Ghidorah around easily. All in all, the bootleg is a satisfying enough replacement for the original that I've sold long ago.

Went to a comic book shop on my vacation to NC and got the Robot Damashii Titan Redeemer for $35. Originally it was the only one I wanted, but now I regret not getting the other Jaegers. It feels more well put together than the NECA Jaegers. The lack of paint doesn't really bother me.

Ultra Monster DX Tyrant, albeit used

[Executive Hamster]

Got all these boys in a lot. Means that, aside from the HMV figures, my Gamera collection is now complete

Im really closing in on the end of my collection, and Im super excited. Im down to 13 figures plus the memorial box. Thats it. Then I can move on to the next phase of my life.

This week I was able to recover some Monsterarts that I've sold a long time ago. I got back Godzilla "Birth" and 2019 again. I'm happy! Kong also arrived so I had a lot of fun with him. Thank goodness I didn't get a Kong that's bad like what others seem to have gotten. Mine's nearly perfect except for the left arm that pops off if you bend it too much. Other than that, Kong is awesome!



I also managed to get Rathalos since his price dropped on Amazon recently. I've always wanted Rathalos even though I've only played one Monster Hunter game. He just looks so awesome and a lot of fun! Unfortunately, I had to return the first Rathalos I got because it kept falling apart! The replacement Rathalos I received is perfect and I love him! So beautiful, so poseable, plus he doesn't fall apart lol

Not really a toy per se, more of a collectible display piece: it's an unlicensed Eva/Shin crossover by Rebor called Specimen G-2016 Embryo - a tiny Godzilla inside of the Adam embryo from Neon Genesis Evangelion. This is the yellow Resinite version. Super cool piece honoring the great work of Hideaki Anno.





And with that, my Shin collection is complete. Feels good.

These 5. Maybe too much in a short timespan lol.

How much the figuarts Black king ? I bought it today from Mandarake for 160€... Well, 120€ not counting taxes and customs. Now my Showa era ultra is complete, minus the unreleased Leo, the Baltan shadow set, the Ultraman classic and 50 anniversary set (got the best selection and A type) and the fireball Zetton. I came late to the party and went crazy. An average 85€ per figure...

I got mine from Mandarake for about the same.

You know a SHFA Golza was just announced and shown off? Grats on the UA anyway though. Wish I'd have been in the market for that line when back in the day.


Just picked up a Marmit Kiryu 2002.

Can't find seperate pictures online, but its this variant:

That actual figure. Been eyeballing it for a few weeks now. Just need someone to talk me down from getting a Marmit Showa Ghidorah now. Please, someone. I got about two weeks to be talked out of it. Someone f'n do it.

Can't post images but I've got the Defo-Real Mechagodzilla 1975 arriving in two days or so and I just preordered the S.H Monsterarts Mechagodzilla 2021 which will be here at the start of next year.

Felt the need to bulk out the MG section of my shelf some more.

Yeah the SHF looks nice. But the previous track record with Tamashii makes me sort of doubtful that it will even release. If it releases I'll pry just have two Golzas.

Lol, ain't that the damn truth. Still waiting on that Tyrant.

This is what I get for snooping around Mandrake when I shouldn't be...


X-Plus Deforeal King Caesar


Marusan Megalon - Not entirely sure of the history of this release, but its labeled Ver.SF52.

[Mac Daddy MM]

Am I the only one buying stuff?


Diamond Select Ghidorah Diorama


Marmit Ghidorah

And one I forgot to post I picked up a few weeks ago...


Marusan Glow in the Dark Godzilla '64

[Mechagigan]

Recently made two wicked additions to the collection; a beautiful Marmit GMK Godzilla, and the new ReAction Shogun Godzilla.



I really love the Marmit! The sculpt is absolutely spot on. It really captures GMK's beer belly better than any other figure I've seen... Not to mention the super cool looking color scheme. Not too tacky, as I feel some Marmits can be - sorta makes the figure look like a proper piece of art.

The Mini-Shogun is just as awesome. Looks just like the classic figure, just scaled down! The super accurate box is a great touch, too. I'd love to see more figures of the Shogun-Zilla design.
