Funko Godzilla Mystery Mini Set

I recently picked up this cute set of Mystery Mini Godzilla figures from Funko. It comes with 3, a greenish one, an orange one, and the mystery one turned out to be the burning Godzilla color.

I got them at a local shop called Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle. They have many cool stuff, including several S.H. Figuarts Dragonball characters. They also carried the S.H. MonsterArts frozen Shin Godzilla (2) and the Godzilla Earth from the anime that comes with a little figure and a ship.

They come packaged in a long box with a window that let’s you see the green and orange variant, with the mystery figure covered. There are only 2 mystery variants, the burning version or the grey version.

These Funko figures are very simple and nice. They’re well painted and nicely detailed. Definitely more in the super-deformed style. They’re about 3” tall. They don’t have any articulation and the sculpt on all 3 is the same, the only difference is the color scheme.

I really like the orange and the burning version. The colors on those 2 stand out. From the photos online that I’ve seen of the grey variant, it looks very nice, I prefer it over the green variant.

Like I said, these figures are very simple. They sit on the my shelf with my various kaiju figures. They’re a cute collector’s item. The boxes are also available on Ebay or Amazon. If you’re a ゴジラ fan, you may want to pick them up.

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla Minus One

Right before the opening of the new Toho film Godzilla Minus One in the US, I received the figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations from that film. It was officially released last weekend, and about a day before that, some photos were popping up online of the final product, appearing with a very dark and bad paint job. Drama rose up in one of the kaiju figure groups I'm a part of, with one idiot in particular proclaiming that the S.H. MonsterArts line was done, despite having not gotten the actual figure in hand before he could judge for himself. After multiple posts trashing the figure and stating that Bandai was dead, he received the figure and then gave it a good rating (8 out of 10), making himself look like a damn fool in the process. I admit that those initial photos had me worried, but I decided to wait until I saw some YouTube reviews to see how it actually turned out to make my judgement (I pre-ordered it from a site where you don't pay for it until it's actually in sto

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version

The latest Godzilla figure I pre-ordered from the S.H. MonsterArts line has arrived. It is the 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version, to go along with the Mecha King Ghidorah release from earlier this year. While the suit is almost the same as the one used in 1989's Godzilla vs. Biollante, they made some slight adjustments. Compared to the BioGoji figure, this one is much thicker, therefore, he does look different from that other release. His sculpt is the classic 90's era Heisei look, with small head, thick thighs, large dorsal spines and a long tail. Like all the other Godzilla suits of that decade, he has a cat-like face, both cute and menacing. While the King of the Monsters has had multiple looks throughout his 50+ years, it's the Heisei era that seems the most iconic. Artwork, toys, comics, etc, have all utilized this particular design. Similar to the 89 suit, this 91 figure has a small set of dorsal spines, followed by a much larger one, and then gradually getting sm

S.H. Monsterarts Rodan &Mothra 2019 set

My Rodan and Mothra set finally arrived after being delayed for a few weeks. After spending a few days going over them, I've had time to really assess them. They're both decent, but there are some issues. Let's dig in! As far as sculpt, Rodan fairs better than Mothra. Everything from the wings, face, torso and legs on Rodan are well done and nicely capture his condor-like look from the film. The face, legs and body of Mothra is sculpted in a very simple, dull manner, lacking any real detail or pattern. Part of it I think is that her body is so small it doesn't leave much room for details. Another thing that was pointed out to me by someone on social media is that Monsterarts may have based their Mothra on early concept artwork as opposed to her actual look in the film. The result is a smooth, crude design that, upon close inspection, resembles a Play-Do sculpture. If this was the case, Tamashii Nations really should've waited until they saw w
