Designer's Chair set (lounging in style)



Today I received in the mail 2 pieces from the 1:12 Designer’s Chair set. I received DC-4 and DC-5 (a black lounge and a red and white roundish one). I got them from the Ami Ami site. They’re pretty cool designer chairs that are made specifically for 1:12 figures. I own a lot in that scale (mostly SH Figuarts) so I thought I’d pick some up.

 
 
 
 

Out of the 2 the red one is my favorite, looks-wise. Its design is both modern and retro, reminding me of some of the types of furniture from the 70’s. However, due to the small opening, not all figures are able fit comfortably inside of it. It works best with human/Ultraman type figures, though some of the Ultramen with more spikes on their head may impede their ability to fit inside, as well as if the figure is able to have a good upper torso/waist crunch and good leg articulation.

 
 
 
 

This round one is white on the outside with red on the inside and comes with 2 red cushions. They can either be placed inside the chair for additional support, or you may also use them as foot rests.

 
 
 

The other black one is lounge style, and while that one is nice, it is a bit thin, so smaller framed figures would fit better on it.

 
 
 
 

Both figures are cool accessories for action figures, and there are several more available (different styles), so I may order some of the other ones, so my figures can lounge in high style.

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
