S.H. Monsterarts Space Godzilla

   


I was able to get an S.H. Monsterarts Space Godzilla for a pretty decent price (much cheaper than the $300+ that new one currently go for). I got it from a seller on one of those Facebook kaiju trading / selling groups.


It's in great condition, no visible scuff marks anywhere. All the joints work well,  too. The right hand can pop off sometime but it can go back on easy. His head has thus far stayed on, no popping off issues like I've read in some reviews.


The paint applications are very nice, the crystals on his shoulders and his crystal spikes are a nice pearl white. The eyes are painted great as well, no derp look.




The accessories it comes with are his gold Corona beam and a stand with crystals to put it on. The stand is kinda clumsy and holds it ok, though I find that if you close the mouth it can be held in place pretty well without the stand.


He's in scale with standard Monsterarts, Figuarts and NECA releases. He'll look good on your shelf with Godzilla and other kaiju.


As far as articulation goes, due to the bulky design, there's not a lot of range compared to some NECA or other Monsterarts releases. The head moves up and down a bit, side to side a bit, the mouth opens pretty wide, the arms move in and out, elbows can bend pretty far, the tail has a few joints and can bend in different directions as well. The thighs, knees & torso joints don't have much range, especially the torso. But the monster never did any back flips or yoga poses, so the limits aren't that bothersome.


I've always wanted to get my hands on this Space Godzilla and I'm glad I was able to get one for a decent price.  It really is the nicest sculpt of this monster, much nicer then the standard Bandai releases. I never really liked the face on those. The Trendmaster release was the nicest one I owned until I got this guy. He's really nice and I'm glad I waited to get a good deal.

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...
