The image didn't load, and when I tried to copy and paste it, it tried to re-direct me to download the file directly.

Not a fan of some of the specifics. I feel like the various Godzilla designs are starting to get a little imbred in the minds of some sculptors. It's clearly the 1984 Godzilla, but the legs, feet and even the tail look like the person who sculpted this couldn't get the Millennium Godzilas out of his head.

Where are Zo Model pieces typically sold? Not familiar with the brand.

Just saw the price, almost $400 for an unbuilt, 30 cm range model kit seems outrageous, definitely too pricey for me, which sucks because I love the look of it.

It’s definitely not screen accurate. But it’s kinda growing on me. It looks like an interpretation of G’84 with a heavy “retro-saur” influence.

It’s too stylized for me in the wrong ways too. From the front it kind of just looks like the Sakai but…off

Edit: 30 seconds later I changed my mind and I want it badly. Can’t make up my mind with this one.

Edit: Pictures in case it wasn't working

One aspect I really like about it is that it still feels like a man in suit. The non-Sakai X-Plus 30cm feels very stylized and looks too "perfect" and made it not look that good, but this sculpt really embodies the '84 even if it deviates from details in areas. It definitely has a great attitude to it. Reminds me of the Oyama '84, quite stylized but close enough and really presents the '84 with ferocity.

Maybe X-Plus can use the sculpt in the future.

Welcome to the wondrous world of kit collecting. Pre-orders open? Aaaand its gone. oh look, someone FINALLY DID a fucking Bagan model kit? Wonder-fest exclusive? FFS - aaaand its limited to like 100.

It's a god send that companies like X-Plus picked up some of the baller Gow-Row kits. Their Death Ghidorah, Battra and Keizer Ghidorah were originally released under Gow-Row.
