Hey, my name is Sucky, a Godzilla anime you say?
And now we play the waiting game for the next actual Godzilla movie
And for those of you who aren't caught up
A deal was struck between Legendary and Toho about the usage of Godzilla.
Where to give way for Godzilla and the legendary monsterverse to move on, there wouldn't be any new Toho live-action Godzilla movies till the year 2020
Robert Scott Field: ..Japan, Japan Godzilla movies coming out, they cannot make it till after 2020.
*disappointment intensifies*
And in their place, we got this new Godzilla anime movie trilogy coming along
I personally can't say anything else about them just yet seeing as I've yet to see even the first one
But one thing's for certain
Oh let's break it D O W N!
And all that brings us to the figure right here, and being my very first S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla figure
I'm damn loving it.
The painting and the sculpting of this figure is amazing.
Despite the grayscale feel of the figure since it's only using one main color, which is green
The figure balances it out with phenomenal sculpting, this blend between muscles and rock textures is definitely a highlight.
And I gotta give high points for the dorsal plates, because as you can see,
They're sculpted and painted to look like leaves and it really does fit the plant aesthetic of this version of Godzilla
Not to mention that they're actually pretty AAA!
Don't go letting kids play around with these.
As amazing as he looks and feels though there are minor issues that pop up every now and then.
I don't know whether or not these bright green dots of paint were meant to be intentionally littered all over the figure, but it just looks kind of like a big slop job.
And speaking of slop, there's this other issue with his shoulder pads here
They kinda just float around and dangle loosely
And if you're not careful, you might even get it stuck turned upside down
So make sure to grab onto those shoulder pads while moving the arms.
And a major flaw this figure has it's easily prone to expose the big gaps while posing
Which doesn't bother me personally seeing as action figure engineering will always have figure kibble
But a warning to all of you, if you suffer from OCD, avoid this figure at all costs.
This figure comes with a card, which has pretty basic labellings as you can see
Flip to the back and you'll see this illustration that seems to be an early concept art.
Dating all the way back to April of 2015
To give you all a perspective, Shin Godzilla hasn't even went into shooting yet.
And speaking of Shin, he doesn't come with any other accessories, a present a day S.H. MonsterArts blue.
But if you have some other effect parts at your disposal, and maybe another Godzilla's breath effect
And maybe even a Bandai Tamashii Nations Act 5 Stand
Just let your creativity run wild
Ball joint on the head, jaw's on a hinge joint
Ball joint at the base of the neck, which allows him to look up that far and down that far as well as some side-to-side
Shoulder caps can rotate, ball joint on the arm, arm moves out, double bend at the elbow,
And a double ball jointed wrist.
Ball joint at the chest and at the waist, which allows for arcs and crunches and some side-to-side.
Ball jointed hips, allows for a kick, can move BACK that far, pretty good spread
Bend at the knee, and you get the last three lower leg segments on ball joints which allows for a pretty sweet pivot.
And finally we go to the impressive S.H. MonsterArts tail
11 individual ball jointed segments which allows for some real organic tail posing.
Can't really point upwards due to the construction of the figure,
But if you point it downwards, you can really see the skill this figure come to fruition.
And speaking of scale, he's a pretty BIG B O I in my collection.
Here's Ffigma Kanzaki Ranko, NECA 94' Godzilla, NECA GMK Godzilla, Tokisaki Kurumi,
And umm...
Cheap useless kids toys...
Mini flaws aside, I'm having a damn blast with this figure
And now I see why the S.H. MonsterArts Godzillas have been where it's at in terms of poseable Godzilla action figures.
And I'm not gonna hesitate to call him an AMAZING Figure.
The price can be a bit scary, but seeing it as Bandai, I think it's fair enough for what you get so far.
If you're into the new Godzilla anime or just want a unique looking Godzilla with versatile possibility,
This guy is a pretty worthy pick.
"One??"
Capitalism.
Nom nom nom,
