Neca 12" Godzilla 1985

Third time's the charm as they say. Neca has blown me away with their Godzilla releases from Godzilla 2014 to Godzilla 1994, but their latest Godzilla may be the very best one! His release was actually delayed to Malaysia, and i thought i'll have to import him but thank god he finally came. Was it wait worth it? YES YES and YES!

Neca Pacific Rim Wave 4 Hong Kong Brawl Gypsy Danger

Since buying Knifehead 2.0, i was anticipating Neca's new Gypsy Danger with bated breath. Now i finally have her in hand, i'm... kinda dissapointed...

Neca Pacific Rim Knifehead 2.0

Finally gotten my grubby little hands on a Pacific Rim kaiju! Intially i held out on buying the previous offerings because i thought the kaijus aren't worth the price, but with the new Hong Kong Brawl Gypsy Danger coming out, i needed a opponent to display with Gypsy. Well, i stand corrected, i really really like Knifehead 2.0!

Sci Fi Revoltech Anguirus

Anguirus was the first kaiju that ever fought the big G himself making him Toho's second kaiju. Unfortunately, he was killed in the encounter in Godzilla Raids Again. But Toho reintroduced him again in the later film series and since then Anguirus has become one of the fan fave and Godzilla's trusted ally. It's surprising that Bandai has yet to release a depiction of Anguirus in their Monsterarts line, but fortunately Kaiyodo gave us a magnificent figure that is the Showa Anguirus!

 
This depiction of Anguirus is from Destroy All Monsters film which is my fave appearance of him. Kaiyodo really gave it their all making Anguirus, he looks magnificent. His horns and fangs are harder plastic while his carapace and spikes are made from rubbery plastic, which i appreciate, i won't have to bleed everytime i pose him.


He's really articulated which is to be expected of Kaiyodo's revoltech line.


His tail is rubber with a wire core which gives it some posability.


His accessories is just the ship featured in the movie called Moonlight SY-3 and it's launch effects. 


Not much to say bout this, but the details are nice.





He scales perfectly with the new Neca Godzilla.







He's such a great looking figure and is everything i could hope for Anguirus. Unfortunately, he's released pretty long ago and will probably fetch a hefty sum in the current market.But if you're lucky, like i was, you might find him still lurking around in hobby stores tucked behind the newer releases.

Anyway thanks for viewing!

Neca 12" Godzilla 1994

If you read my previous review of Neca's 2014 Godzilla, you'll know i really liked the figure. But Neca's latest release blows 2014 Godzilla out of the water. Introducing, Neca's 1994 Godzilla!


This Godzilla is based on his 1994 movie appearance in Godzilla vs Space Godzilla. It's beautifully sculpted with sharp textures all over. Seriously, the sculpt just looks so good. His fins are made from really soft plastic though, would have prefer it a bit harder, but that's just my nitpicky preference.


But articulation is where he shines above 2014 Godzilla. He's such joy to pose! He has all the articulations from 2014 Godzilla and alittle bit more in his arms. Also because he's skinnier than 2014 Godzilla, the articulations aren't as restricted.



Unfortunately, like most of Neca's release, paint apps on the eyes are off.  The pupils are way too large, it's like he has puppy eyes... 




Compared to the Neca's 2014 Godzilla, it's obvious which is the better made figure.



I'm really glad i bought this guy. While Neca's offering might not be as impressive as Bandai's SH Monster Arts line but for quarter the price, Neca's 1994 Godzilla is a steal. I'm really impressed with Neca this time, hopefully they'll continue the great work.

Anyway, thanks for viewing!


EDIT: Turns out what Godzilla needed was the yellow ring around the pupils. So i gave mine a minor paint touch up and he looks way better now.
