It will never fit into your collection - you should just get rid of it now before the disappointment sets in.

Better still, send it to me and I will get rid of it for you! I promise that you'll never see it again.

Salunga/Gabara looks really cool!

I only have the Varan, Manda and Anguirus but it looks like he'd go well with them. Now if only Bandai would make the ORIGINAL Gabara... :roll:


I've got a couple of Shin Ultraman vinyls coming. Also bought back the Monster King 2016 which I regretfully had to sell a few years back. It seems that the 6 inch figures stay in circulation but anything outside of that is only here briefly. Which is a shame since the Mega Movie Monster series Ultras are way better in quality.

I think the SP line might be some of my favorite Bandai vinyls. Love how the designs translated to vinyl. They've got quite a lot of character.

Well, finally got one of these:
Image

Paid more than I would have liked to, but I still got it significantly less than the usual asking prices you see. Anyone know why this figure in particular is so expensive? Its confusing to me because the Meltdown Godzilla is WAY cooler looking but usually goes for about half the price as the glittery boy. Its strange to me.

I can't speak for everything (someone like Legion is definitely more knowledgeable on this) but it's just an extremely unique piece. The Meltdown might look nicer (YMMV) but it's still just another "theater exclusive-type" figure. The "Disco Godzilla" (As I remember it being called back in the day) just stands out more.

I think that's pretty much it. It's unique.

Just got the deforeal Jet Jaguar shipped to me, I’ll post pics later, but it’s a really cool looking piece, glad I got the one with the glowing eyes.

Congratulations! Such a grail. Arguably Bandai's best Godzilla piece.

Finally managed to get the SHMA Mothra '92 Adult & Larva Special Color Ver. Set in my hands. Searched for this for quite some time now and finally got them for a halfway reasonable price! :Mothra61:

Well, as I said on the prior page, I got the SCV Ghidorah recently, and no matter what I do, Jet Jaguar fighting it or any other monster looks like an Ultraman parody on my shelf:

Image

And a week after I got him, I saw the listing for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 10th Anniversary Alduin, done in gold. While not a Toho monster, it looks so much like if Ghidorah had Servum like Godzilla did in the anime movies, that it fits perfectly. I call this "Stay Puft's day goes downhill fast".

Image

I am looking forward to the preorders opening for that Monster Hunter bubble dragon, but I haven't seen it yet.

Nice display! Are those all 3D prints you did or did you order them somewhere?

I liked the previous SCV Ghidorah, but I don't think it works on that design as well. But he definitely is a commanding presence on the shelf!

That looks really nice. Kinda looks like some of the recent Webb space telescope photos…

I never thought the day would come but I am about to be the owner of BOTH xplus Godzilla 1998 figures. So weird feeling. For years I thought I would never have a chance of finding these then randomly within a few months of each other I end up getting both.

^ Always loved the more toyetic vinyl look of that figure. How big is he compared to modern X Plus stuff?

Unfortunately Im probably the worst person to ask since these are the only xplus figures Ive bought.
But maybe this size comparison will be useful for you
