No one cracks me up moar than you.

That looks great jye!!!

I agree. I love stylized Godzilla designs all the time. The T-Facto Godzilla Evolution, the "Original Image" Godzilla kit, Honey Bones '54, and the early illustrations of Godzilla '99 way more than the in-film product. Several people have mentioned they prefer the Sakai 2014 over the in-film version. Jaws' point about GBG is accurate as well. He looks less like a man in suit and more like a real life unstoppable nuclear diety. I think that '89 bust looks more feral and vicious than the one that was posted after it and I can still easily tell which suit it's representing.

100% agree with everything.... Plus The second bust is more accurate but that first one is just a mean looking SOB. I don't like Busts but I would get that stylized 89 Godzilla.

Thank you Jaws, I hope my son doesn't put cars in his mouth and break the polystone teeth.

He does that with the Jakks.

I think you'd then have to sacrifice him to the godzilla alter

I had to read this a couple of times and even have my wife read it in order to get my head around it...

I think you took my loving of that 89 bust to mean that I love it as a perfect replica of the 89 Godzilla. I know that it is not what G looked like in 89 but it is what the bust was named and so I called it that... I love it cause it looks cool. Not because I think it's an accurate portrait of the big G. It is obviously a stylized version and I love it

Like you I love Godzilla in all his forms... I like the SHMA Godzilla 2014... Even though the company took many liberties with it. I love the SHMA Godzilla 2000... Which actually looks nothing like G 2000 rather it looks like yuji sakai's interpretation of G 2000. I prefer that look actually.

I get a tad hung up on your "but I have a difficult time liking something just because somebody says it's supposed to be something." With that logic I should not like the above mentioned SHMA or the SSC Godzilla because they have taken some artistic liberties also. Same goes for the GBG.. It is a stylized version of Burning Godzilla... But I still love all of them, despite their lack of accuracy, because they all look awesome!


My point it.. I like what I like.


That Godzilla bust could have been called Godzilla 54 and I would still love it because I like the look of it.

I apologize if it sounded like I was attacking your taste, because I wasn't. As I stated, taste is a personal thing. You like what you like. I probably did attribute you liking it more to accuracy than to simple aesthetics than I should have. My attempted point was that regardless of how great it looks, I find it hard to like things like this. I love conceptualized Godzillas as well as accurate Godzillas, but I don't think this is either. It appears to be a nice attempt at an accurate Godzilla, but it falls way short.

I have way too many Godzilla models and figures to have any love for nice attempts. I have the Gigantic GMK and BG, but I'm not thrilled with them. I have them moreso because I have everything else X-Plus did. Same with the first 30cm 89. It's bad for a 'Garage Toy' which is supposed to be a preassembled model, but once again, I had everything else. It gets tiring collecting that way. Lots of people love that 89 and that's fine. I try to let people know if I think there are better options, but I'm not telling them what to like.

1954 went shopping and decided to frame his picture of his visit to Gettysburg. Then did a photo shoot.

I also did photoshoots for my other Godzilla figures. I'm happy with how they came out. Check them out!https://www.flickr.com/photos/124648569@N02/sets/

No problem... I like it but I can see how it would not be to everyone's tastes... I have tons of older Godzilla stuff and have just recently started getting into the Xplus stuff because of the diamond reissues. Anyways thanks for the clarification

Okay, now that photo-manip is hilarious. I think you made my morning.

 

[jye4ever]

That is pretty funny. Good job GS.

Thanks guys. I have my moments. Few and far between. [emoji38]

I'm starting to think he was an assembly line regect with all this glue on his head.

But you know what, it gives him character and makes him look all gnarley.

It reminds me of Mothra's web spray.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but I don't see anything?


I've taken some outdoors photos of a few of my X-Plus buys if you guys want to check them out. I have to try to do NECA 2014 and GBG tomorrow.

S.H Monsterarts Gamera for 2015!

 

[Sevreed]

I just whizzed in my pants a bit. Finally!!! Do I dare hope for Gamera 3, Iris and Legion? Then they can get to Jet Jaguar, Megalon and the Mutos and I would be a super happy Godzilla collector. Gamera rules!!

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Hmmm....a Gamera 3 would probably be the only gamera id buy
