S.H. MonsterArts - Godzilla (1972) | Figure Review

Epic. This (and 1974) Godzilla are my childhood variants of Godzilla.
Or to put it more simply, I watched Godzilla vs Gigan and Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla as my first Godzilla movies to watch a very long time as a double VHS set back when I was a kid.
It's so cool to see this Godzilla from Godzilla vs Gigan be made into a S.H. MonsterArts figure.

[@Kevsspot]

The word you were looking for at the end describing why it's good for both hiya and bandai to make articulated figures is: Innovation. Having 2 companies make good figures drives innovation. Which is something we need in our toy lines so they stay fresh. What do you think Rob?

[@ShinRobjira]

I think you hit the nail on the head, because you're 100% right.
I just hope Bandai can keep it up, moving forward!

[@noahweakarm]

hopefully they release an anguirus and showa ghidorah to go with him and gigan!! loving the quality these showa figures have been deservingly getting. love the review as always hope all is well! 🙏🏻

My first SHF Gomora was the first release and it had a similar annoying issue of one arm being engineered to be far more limited than the other. Thankfully the first reissue fixed that.

Sweetness! Have him pre ordered. Just got my first Monsterarts in today, the ‘54 reissue. I’m pretty impressed with him. A bit more than expected. I’d love for them to release the whole ‘72 Kaiju crew. Thanks for the shot with the Toho Maniacs Godzilla Tower. Have that incoming also . Feel the Monsterarts scales pretty good with it so I’ll probably use them together. Great video as always.

[@IZ-RB]

Wow, finnaly a actual good SHMA Goji that has a new sculpt since Minus One.

Btw, the yellow in the eyes is there because of the light reflected from your hands into the white, but the eyes are just white

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

​@@imahoare4742 The higher prices is unavoidable at this point but i rather have this than heisei 91 for the same price. Why? This guy at least comes with an accessory. It's not a guarantee hiya will even do this godzilla specifically in the future. Fans simply want figures that have accessories of any kind and don't fall apart and have good paint jobs and so on. This figure has all of that. If the price is the only issue and it's not an absurd 150 or more, then this is worth the pickup.
And given how this figure hasn't been released in America yet, getting it from Japanese retailers for a cheaper price is possible

[@imahoare4742]

@@Kaiju-bm4ts that's insane cope and peak FOMO. It's almost guaranteed that Bandai will continue to jack their prices up because people will keep paying a premium for the bare minimum or even worse in the case of Minus One's SHMA, mediocre. 1 accesoriy that isn't even a proper accessory isn't with the premium price for that bare minimum.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

@@imahoare4742 Buddy how is that cope? Lol. At least use the word properly when applying it to anything situation. It's ironic you bring up minus 1 when this figure is A. MUCH cheaper despite being overpriced itself and B. Has at least 1 accessory and is more accurate to the godzilla It's meant to represent as oppose to minus 1 meeting halfway expectations in the department. Better to go with one figure that has an accessory and is cheaper than one that is a higher price and has no accessories.
So i recommend not having too high hope that hiya will do every kaiju sh monsterarts did when that's not a 100% guarantee. I love hiya but try to remember their g91 didn't even come out yet and they didn't even announce any other toho godzillas or kaiju since.

Monsterarts sucks. The only one I have is Godzilla 1964 and it's bad. The texture is coarse, the material feels hollow and like it's going to break apart, the articulation doesn't feel satisfying, and the scult isn't good. Overrated, overhyped, overpriced figures.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

Then why did you click on this video?

[@ShinRobjira]

The figures are indeed hollow... it kinda needs to be in order to fit the joints inside.
the texture is meant to be course to showcase how the suits looked.
and while i do agree some releases are mid at best when it comes to their series name, i wouldn't say they're all dissatisfying.
Overrated, sure. Overhyped, most of the time but not all. Overpriced, yes.
But given what goes into making them... even their worst blunders could be made worse with less money going into them.
