Marmit Monster Heaven Appreciation Thread

Those look pretty nice; Marmits have an incredible charm to them in person.

So I adjusted the brightness and contrast on the figures Im getting since it seems like something is written in the vinyl

Phase 1 it says, I think. Anyone know what thats about?

I can not tell you.

But I can tell you, I am SUPER jelly of you getting that Reptar GXMG. Been wanting one for a few years.

Honestly, it looked cool and it was one of the cheapest Marmit figures I could find so thats why I went with it. There is still another one on Ebay for only $160. Id say thats not the worst price for a second hand sofubi figure, at least from what Ive seen.

how do you guys buy these from outside of Japan? Im currently stalking one that'll be going live in two weeks on the marmit shop, but it looks like they only ship in Japan. are there other retailers that ship internationally?

You need a middleman service or to have someone in Japan purchase them for you. Unless somehow they are on a website that ships internationally and Marmit doesn't have a "No Gaijins Allowed" disclaimer on it. Once they hit second hand its your usual suspects, but be prepaired to see some HIGH prices.

Got these beauties in from SpageG92

The 89 looks great with my Marusan 89

[Petezilla]

Does Marmit even put out new stuff...? I'm not following the matter, but I can't recall any recent figure news from them.

[canofhumdingers]

I think Shin Godzilla was the last new sculpt(s) they did. And that was almost out of the blue because they hadn’t done anything new in some time prior.

[Legion1979]

Aside from Shin, they haven't done any new sculpts in a decade.

[Executive Hamster]

Yeah, Marmit seems dead in the water. Which is a shame. I was hoping to get a Desugoji at some point. Every Godzilla collector needs a Desugoji, it seems. But if they aren't releasing any new ones my only options are, from what Ive seen, a MINIMUM $600 to as much as $16,000. Aftermarket on these things is insane.

I shiver to imagine 20 or 30 years from now, the prices some of these figures will go for.

EDIT: I realized I didnt post this in this thread yet, but Ive actually got a few more Marmits to my name now

Mothra is pretty neat.

Ive been told that this particular Godzilla 1964 is pretty rare. Cannot confirm. What I can confirm is that the star of the show is that Dessy back there. Probably the second most impressive figure on my shelf (hard to beat the Marusan 450 Biollante across from it). This figure came from SpaceG92 as well. In total I have 5 Marmit figures, and for the time being I dont plan on getting any more. For my stylized shelf I have one more Marusan to get and one more M1, and that will be all, at least for now.

[canofhumdingers]

Marmit did release at least one or two variants of the DesuGoji mold in the Medicom “Vinyl Wars” line that put out vinyls from multiple companies (Marmit and CCP off the top of my head) a few years ago. I know they skyrocketed on the aftermarket. But, if they put it out as recently as a few years ago, maybe they’ll find another channel to release it again in the future.

Also, I find it hard to believe anyone is paying $16,000 for a 9 inch vinyl figure. Where on earth did you see one actually sell for that?

[Executive Hamster]

I havent seen one actually sell for that much, but thats the largest price Ive seen it sell for. I doubt anyone actually has paid that much for one but I wouldn't be surprised if some instagram clout chasers did.

[canofhumdingers]

eBay list prices are not real prices. You can filter sold listings and see what people are actually paying for stuff. Nobody actually buys those ridiculous Marmit etc. listings for thousands of dollars.

[Executive Hamster]

It seems a few of them sold. The range for sold listings are between $500-$1000. Someone won one at auction for $150, lucky ass mofo. Still, generally speaking the prices are still absolutely absurd. The most rare colorways should still be $300 or less. Oh well. Scalpers gotta scalp.

[Jomei]

Well, speaking of Marmit.

[Executive Hamster]

Is Spiral considered part of Marmit now?

No, but read the text.

Apparently this was teased earlier!

That teaser… are those not the MV Goji dorsals? Isn’t that just the spiral studios figure?
