Really liking Gamera! Not a fan of the figure having a downward-pointed head, though.

Anywhere to order Gomess/Ebirah/Baragon/etc. that isn't a backorder?

Also, adding about the reveals. Jiger looks great! Pink is a good color for her! The metallic blue horns is great.

Perhaps a bit beyond what the Movie Monster Series does, but I wish those Eva Units had slightly more dynamic poses or had variants that included weapons etc. (not as accessories mind you but part of the sculpt). A bit like the Eva game models seen here.

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
I ordered Legion Soldier, Pagos, Peguila, Zoffy, more Kamen stuff…. With KG+Baragon, and Ebirah next week, I’m in definite need of new shelves. I’ve been pushing it off, but can’t!
FYI, Shin Gomess seems to be selling heavily. While I’d expect restocks and new listings, Shin Gomess is sold out directly from Amazon and people are selling it for 5,000yen. Probably scalpers, but it’s also sold out on Rakuten, and I didn’t see one in stores today. My guess is that because of its relation to shin goji there’s been some groundswell and anticipation for the figure. Don’t freak out yet, It’s a mass marketed figure, but I’ve honestly never seen this haooen.

That Gamera vinyl looks like such a fun toy, really hoping to snag it for a reasonable cost.
This is hysterical and more true than it should be

Haha I could totally see a Gamera cartoon where Skeletor is the Rita Repulsa of the show unleashing a new kaiju each week in his bid for world domination

Exactly how I feel about it. IDK why but I just instantly fell in love with this vinyl and I cannot wait to have it.

Official promo shots of the new Gamera MMS figures. They still look great, most excited for the new Gamera but I like how Jiger and Gyaos turned out.

Glad they took the right memos from the current generation of Godzilla’s designs.

They look pretty decent, though that seam on Gamera is rough. The sculpts are pretty damn good though, especially the textures on Jiger.
I still feel like the paint on Jiger and Gyaos is a little over the top. Jiger's horns also look grey/tan in the trailer, not to mention the skin looked more pinkish (although that could be due to the sunset lighting).

Gamera: Good detailing, like the glow paint on his throat and torso (though that may not look as good in person tbh), his head and arms facing down is a disappointment though, big bulky sad boi isn't the wave
Jiger: Good detailing (just now realizing her mouth is open), cool pose, paint is good (though the tail spike should've been silver or the blue-silver that the other sharp parts share), not a fan of the color scheme but she's a pretty girl
Gyaos: Fire Rodan 2.0, some don't like it, I do
