Super Hi-Res Photos & Product Specs for Godzilla feat.EVA-01


Check out the latest batch of Super Hi-Res photos of Godzilla feat.EVA-01. This figure capitalizes on what was originally an April Fools joke by the folks over at Toho, and quickly turned into a merchandising strategy of a fantasy crossover between the Godzilla and Evangelion franchises. It was only a matter of time when Tamashii Nations would also hop on the bandwagon. It's a Bandai Premium Shop Web Exclusive in Japan. It will not be available in North America. Priced at a whopping $96.99 MSRP and will be available January 2017 in Japan.

If you live in North America and you are a diehard, completionist, or someone who really likes the figure, you'll have to import this from Japan. This figure has a pre-order window that will close. Once it closes, aftermarket prices immediately begin. This figure is a Premium Web Shop figure so you won't be able to import from sites like AmiAmi, HLJ, or Hobby Search. This means you're probably going to be dropping around $130 to get this figure.

Product Specs:

The prototype of S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (2016) was created from the 3D data that was used for "Godzilla: Resurgence". The sculpt was overseen by Takayuki Takeya and his colleagues who worked on the maquette for "Godzilla: Resurgence" to reproduce the most authentic Shin Godzilla. It reproduces the coloring, distinctive body surface, unevenly growing teeth, and finely sculpted nails. It includes the most advanced articulation engineering, a wide range of motion of the whole body, and includes a new movable mechanism in the mouth. This gives Godzilla the ability to have a wide variety of facial expressions.

Availability & Best Deals Updates 01/07

Zone Alerts!
Godzilla Jr. - RED ZONED! The holidays took a beating to this figure and it's pretty much gone at MSRP. ToyWiz is selling it for $64.99, while over MSRP, better than $90+ everyone else is selling it for. Grab it while you can before they catch on, and they will! ToyWiz is notorious for raising the prices for these figures after they're gone from Amazon. Or maybe they follow this blog... Oops.





MOGUERA is at the tip of the iceberg before turning fully red zoned. All major retailers no longer have it in stock, however, ToyWiz has it still for $79.99. But don't order from them as Amazon's third party sellers are still selling it for about $64.99 shipped. Don't expect these prices to last long. Remember, MOGUERA's MSRP is $84.99.

Lastly, MFS-3 Type 3 Kiryu Mechagodzilla (2003) is still on the verge of being RED ZONED. How its lasted this long? Seems like a  lot of people are privy to Nakama Toys, the only retailer left to sell it at MSRP $125 shipped. But they're iching to get rid of it. They're now selling it on Amazon as well. So their remaining stock won't last much longer. TIP: buy from Nakama Toy's site and you'll get free shipping.
