I love the tower accessory.

Here are a few fandom online reviews:

ive actually only got 3 glow figures, although I'd love more. Those are the same old pictures I posted years ago on monsterzero. I just happened to have access to them on my iPad while I was stuck at an airport. But the toy section of MZ is pretty dry right now so I've been lurking over here more...

If I recall, you also had a Marmit MH G1985 glow variant?

Online reviews from (Fresh Vinyl), one which includes the dreaded "stand" :

X-plus 25cm Godzilla 64

Only recently have I finally obtained figures of this, the best, Godzilla suit.

Nice Marmit Rody.

God, I wish Xplus would make a proper 25cm Godzilla 1964 without the damn stand....*sigh*

Anyways, some more online reviews

And the full review:

[Rody]

Thanks, he's lovely! I got him for a great price, too. It's exciting to finally have Marmits in my collection.

The MonsterArts 1964 gets a lot of flack, but I'm very pleased with mine, with only one or two reservations. I think it's a very good figure.
It's not $60 good, though.

^That is one splendid-looking hunk of vinyl.

Just curious, but has anyone managed to get a hold of the Passion Tank Godzilla 64? If so, what are your thoughts? I've haven't come across too many Western collectors who have actually snatched this up (the prices on Ebay and other similar sites are insane), but it's definitely a very intriguing Mosu-Goji figure.

[Executive Hamster]

Absolutely one of my holy grails right now. Its so beautiful!

[canofhumdingers]

It’s on my “watchlist” to keep an eye out for a good deal. But it seems to be so limited the prices are astronomical. If anything I might look at getting it in kit form (which are easier to find and cheaper, but still way to pricey).

But truth be told I’ve already got several expensive figures on preorder for the year (despite trying to get out of doing preorders) and I’m not sure I care to dump more cash into expensive figures any time soon.

That coupled with the fact I’ve already got very satisfying G’64 figures (x-plus 25cm and gigabrain glow) and this one is more of a “nice to have” than a “must have”

But maybe they’ll issue it again at another con or event later this year and it’ll be obtainable at a (more) reasonable price?

I wanted one of these as soon as I saw it. It “looks to be” very similar to the Billiken 64’. The reason I say that, I had just bought one used a week before the release of the passion tank. Either way love the color way, and Gogi luck finding one that is reasonable.

[Rody]

I think this is the first time I've heard of this figure, much less seen images of one. It looks like a sublime figure for sure!

I'm not really seeking it out, for similar to you, I'm perfectly content with the 64/Mosu-Goji figures I own :

• Giganbrain G64

• X-plus G64-B (yeah, it's not the "A" version, but it's a fantastic figure and doesn't require the silly asinine stand)

• Billiken G64

However, I do find the figure intriguing, similar to the various Sarujirushi G64 figures released over the past few years....I rarely see them talked about in collector threads, collector groups, or YT reviews and seem quite rare:

I've seen a few of them, definitely one of my favorite "sofubi" sculpts. Pretty sure someone I know is selling one, but I would have to ask them to make sure I am remembering correctly.

I was on Yahoo JP last night and there were a couple blanks starting @ 19000. Only say one of the painted @ 25000.

Never heard of that one until just now. Kind of an odd sculpt. Has a bit of a vintage yamakatsu figure vibe to it.

[Executive Hamster]

Yeah the passiontank figure is kinda an enigma. Sorta just began showing up in my feed. Never heard anyone mention it or anything. If it was a new release (i have no clue when it was released) I heard nothing of any announcements or anything, and I hadn't seen any in person photos whatsoever until about 2-3 weeks ago, but now it seems really trendy and everyone is talking about it. Weird how that is.
