The Kumunga looks amazing, I hope the Godzilla '73 and Zone Fighter eventually get released.

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
You Y-MSF guys and gals are sharp. Yes it was and is the X-Plus 67 G tip-of-the-tail. I overlooked it during the editing. The updated pic at the top of the thread has been corrected so it doesn't blend as much, and I removed the tail from the foreground.PopInPicsPresents wrote:It's the X-Plus Godzilla's tail in the background.Tyler wrote:What's that thing sticking out Godzilla's head?
Thanks for pointing it out! Can't get any mistake past you guys

Y-MSF? THEY ROCK!
Kumonga, Manda, Varan, and Megalon... Four figures that Bandai never touched upon. All look great except Varan IMO. I like their Goji sculpts and the Goji '67 w/ Minya is awesome.

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
I have a couple...a painted Gabara (Not a great figure but I wanted a Gabara), a pink Gabara (won as a prize for the costume contest at G-FEST last year), a red Godzilla 1962 (nice) and the Godzilla/Minya set, which I also like. Like any line it has ups and downs....but you gotta agree the snake/octopus/rock are bullshit.

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
I would argue that the Y-MSF Megalon is better than the Bandai version. Though I own do own the Bandai version because I consider it a vintage collectible.Jomei wrote:RedZillaKing wrote:Kumonga, Manda, Varan, and Megalon... Four figures that Bandai never touched upon.

I also think the Y-MSF Gabara is better than the Bandai and X-Plus versions. Oh wait, there aren't any Bandai or X-Plus versions
Though I do agree about the snake/rocks/octopus not being worth the asking price.

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
I have two Y-MSF figures: the closed-mouth Megalon and the red-eyed Kumonga. They have several ups and downs.
The sculpts on these figures are excellent, rivaling if not surpassing my Bandais. I'm amazed at the level of detail and texture they have.
On the other hand, the vinyl itself is certainly inferior to Bandai's. Megalon, in particular, feels rather hollow and cheap.
The paint jobs are good, if not great. They're pretty accurate, at least, but there are some flaws. Kumonga has this slightly sandy/dirty look to him, and I can't tell whether that's intentional or just paint wear. Megalon has a couple spots of discoloration on his grey skin.
Articulation is also good. Kumonga has a joint on each leg; Megalon has joints in his shoulders, legs, tail and neck. His head doesn't turn that well, and his tail tends to bump into his wings, but it's not that big of a deal.
Overall, these two figures are pretty good; they're a little sub-par to Bandai figures, but not much. That said, the prices I've seen for Y-MSF figures like these two are ridiculous. I was fortunate to get mine in a combo sale, and ended up paying about $20-$25 for each, which still seems like a bit much (keep in mind I don't like having to pay $20+ for regular Bandais). I'm certainly interested in their '56 Rodan, and I've been curious about their Mosu-Goji, but I wouldn't pay more than $30 for them, IF that much.

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
The giant snake figures look okay; they just shouldn't cost more than $10, if even that much.
The Kamacuras prototype also looks really nice, but I won't be getting it if these price levels continue.

Here's the link to the Y-MSF site:

I'm Looking forward to see what their version of King Seesar will look like, because IMO the Bandai version isn't that good and the Marmit is too goofy looking. Though I still do like the Marmit version.

This video is OLD. Gorosaurus, Gigan, and Kamacuras have yet to see the light of day. BTW, they all are much better sculpted than their Bandai counterparts. Shame

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
What I mean is that they're awesome updates. Worthy successors if you will.

Thanks for posting the link to the YouTube video!
The alternate tail Kamacarus looked good, as did Hatchling Minya looked very interesting. Oh, the Gigan sculpt looked dead on!

Re: Y-MSF Figures Discussion Thread
Well hot damn, what perfect timing! I just wrote a massive article on Y-MSF, check it out!
It has pictures of all their previous releases and their prototypes for new releases from the website as well:

I'm really, really wanting them to release their take on King Caesar and Ebirah!

Here's one of the buildings from Godzilla vs King Kong:

Looks cool. I like accessories with the figures. Ok, not the rock though.

And yes, the rock is still absolutely hilarious to me.
