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:

Tamashii Nations is proud to announce Godzilla feat.EVA-01 to commemorate the fantasy match, "Godzilla vs. Evangelion" for the first time in S.H.MonsterArts form. In this crossover of franchises, Godzilla has been detailed with the exact vivid coloration of the EVA-01 unit. Even the dorsal spines are translucent featuring a purple to clear green gradient effect, which is sure to create some fantastic poses under special lighting conditions. Godzilla also comes with a special purple heat ray effect part with a charred ground base! Don't miss out on this limited collaboration of the century!

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.

Two types of Iconic background music can also be played. The precise level of sculp and superior articulation cultivated by S.H.MonsterArts is combined with suberb light and sound gimmicks.

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.

The Holidays finally hit SHMA! First up, Little Godzilla - RED ZONED! You can't find this figure at MSRP anymore through the usual retailers. If you missed this one, check out your local comic-shops, this one tends to be a straggler on shelves.





Second, Godzilla Jr. - ORANGE ZONED! Amazon's remaining stock is down to 13 as of this post. This is an excellent small figure, and in my opinion, when the articulation engineering began its significant improvements. $50.99 is hard to swallow for a small figure, but if you're completionist, don't wait for a deal. As soon Amazon sells out, the remaining retailers will jack up the price.

Thirdly, Destoroyah Evolution Set - there is only ONE major retailer still selling the set at below MSRP - Image Anime. Again, for the completionist, jump on this for $84.99.

Fourthly, Godzilla 2000 Millennium [Special Color Version] is now in the YELLOW ZONE. Bluefin no longer has any remaining stock, so what's out there is all that is left!

Lastly, MFS-3 Type 3 Kiryu Mechagodzilla (2003) is on the verge of being RED ZONED. The only retailer left to sell it at MSRP is Nakama Toys at $125 shipped. Grab it because other retailers like Toy Wiz have jacked the price up to $249.99!

Godzilla (Adult Jr.) Re-Issue Now Available!

Godzilla (Adult Jr.) Re-Issue, aka Godzilla (1995) Re-Brith, was officially released October 9, 2015 after a 2 week delay. More than likely caused by Bluefin Distribution preparing for New York Comic-Con (not confirmed). There have been reports that this re-issue has a slightly darker paint job, and the figure itself uses a slightly harder plastic than the 1st edition. Most likely due to complaints of it falling apart very easily. I've noted in the PAST RELEASES section of where you can buy the 1st Edition and the 2nd Edition. These retailers that have the 2nd Edition are confirmed NOT to have any of the 1st Editions, so you don't have to worry about them getting mixed up in the warehouse/shipping process.

MOGUERA is only available through Amazon and ToyWiz. It's only a matter of time until its completely depleted. MOGUERA now enters the Orange Zone

Little Godzilla has sold out through Amazon, still available through third party sellers at a good price for the time being.

Best Deals & Availability Updates 9/26 ZONE ALERTS!

Zone Alerts!

It's been a while since our last changelog, simply because the demand for the remaining figures has significantly slowed down, comparatively to 2014. Little Godzilla and the Destoroyah Evolution Set are now in the Orange Zone, but which is dwindling the fastest? Definitely get your hands on Little Godzilla. A better deal for the money spent and also only available between two big retailers, Amazon and Image Anime (with Amazon having 8 left in stock). The Destoroyah Evolution Set has completely sold out on Amazon, but is still widely available through many other retailers. I've updated the list on the Past Releases page. But now that Amazon is out of the game, these retailers will be raising their prices on the already expensive set.

Gigan has officially entered the Red Zone, but in an unusual twist, instead of the usual price hike through thirdparty sellers, it's being sold at 30% off MSRP. This because most of these sellers are shipping from Japan, where Gigan (2004) is sitting on shelves. Bargain for us here in the States. If you happen to be in Japan, you could actually pick up Gigan for about $44! Now even though the low price is available now, I don't expect it through Christmas. So use your judgement when to get it.

MFS-3 Type 3 Kiryu Mechagodzilla (2003) is now in the Yellow Zone. This means that Bluefin no longer has available stock for new shipments to other retailers. What is left at their warehouse is spoken for, most likely Amazon.

A few deals have changed here and there. The only significant price drop as of late is for Godzilla (2014), dropping as low as $44 shipped from Amazon. No doubt an effort to move it from the warehouse, especially with Godzilla (2014) Spit Fire being the better figure.

Hi-Res Photos & Official Product Specs for King Ghidorah [Poster Version]

 Full Gallery Here

Check out the latest batch of Hi-Res photos of King Ghidorah [Poster Version] aka Special Color Version. This figure is marketed as a Web Exclusive in Japan, and a Regular release in North America through Bluefin Distribution. Price is set at $141.99 MSRP and will be available January 2016. Photos courtesy of Bandai Tamashii Nations.


Product Specs:

All hail the king! Godzilla’s ultimate rival joins the ranks of the hit S.H.MonsterArts series. Made to scale and towering above Godzilla at 9.8 inches, S.H.MonsterArts King Ghidorah boasts cutting-edge articulation technology and will reign supreme as one of the kings of all monster action figures. Superior articulation allows for re-enactment of flying pose without need for interchangeable parts. Expertly crafted by Yuji Sakai, each head and tail has been meticulously and individually sculpted. Deluxe figure set includes beam effect parts, as well as special stand and support arms for beam effect parts. Because this product features precise articulation where the wings will maintain the position they are posed in, breakage may occur when wings are pushed beyond their full range of articulation. To avoid breaking the wings, please use caution when moving them so as not to force the wings beyond their maximum range of movement.

YELLOW ZONE ALERT 

It has finally happened. The Destoroyah Evolution Set is officially Yellow Zoned. The small set for big price tag has been floating around on e-tailers shelves since summer of 2013, so it had to go eventually right? What does this mean for you the consumers? Just a warning sign is all. It still packs a hefty price tag, and hardly worth it. Definitely wait for a sale through Amazon, (the lowest I've ever seen it was for $63.00). Start worrying once it hits the Orange Zone, especially if you're a completist or Destoroyah fan. If not, you can easily miss this set. Gigan's stateside debut is almost gone. Thankfully, theirs hoards of it leftover from Japan, hence the price being in the $50 range on Amazon through third party sellers.

ORANGE ZONE ALERT 

Gigan (2004) is now in the Orange Zone now that only three major online retailers carry it, Amazon, Nakama Toys, & ToyWiz. Just these last few days Gigan now has a countdown on Amazon's page at 16 pieces remaining at the time of writing this. It is unknown if Amazon has another pallet at Bluefin Distribution waiting to be sent out, or if this is the final pieces of stock left. Either way, it's a figure that you definitely don't want to miss. Amazon currently has it priced at a cool $66.55. Once it's gone, you can still order from ToyWiz and Nakama Toys, but the price is a lot closer to its original MSRP. ToyWiz will definitely inflate the price once Amazon sells out. Nakama Toys won't. Now's the time to buy if you haven't already!

Best Deal Updates 4/25

Spacegodzilla is available for a little over MSRP through Nakama Toys, $85 not including shipping.
Everywhere else has it listed for over $100 shipped, so if you haven't got your hands on this magnificent piece, now is the time! If you don't mind a used figure, there's always Mandarake which should come in at or around $70 shipped to the USA.

The existing stock of Godzilla (Adult Jr.) "Re-Birth" 1995 is depleting, but the re-issue of this figure comes this September. If you haven't purchased this figure already, it may be worth waiting a little longer for the lower priced re-issue. Eventually Amazon's price will adjust to the lower MSRP, but for now you can check out Eknightmedia or Anime Island for a lower cost pre-order of the September re-issue. Pre-order links for the re-issue are located in the Upcoming Releases section.

Godzilla (Adult Jr) to be Re-Issued! Best Deals & Availability Updates 04/01

Destoroyah and the Battra & Mothra Larva Set are now listed in the Red Zone. Now, they are still being sold at one or two major retailers, however, they've caught on that the product is mostly unavailable, so they've increased the price over MSRP. You can probably find these at local comic shops or smaller online retailers that still carry them at MSRP or lower, but you've got to get on it now if you've waited this long.

In other news, Godzilla (Adult Jr.), aka Godzilla (1995) Rebirth, is being re-issued in Japan August 2015. North America will piggy-back off of this re-issue for a September 2015 release. It MAY be possible that it will NOT come with the Red Beam effect parts, similarly to how the Godzilla (1994) re-issue was handled. It will also come with the first edition beam effects.

Now to further explain this re-issue, it was a VERY hot selling item, especially in Japan where it sold out at most major retailers within two weeks of its release, and aftermarket prices already setting in shortly thereafter. At the same time, while it looks abundantly available in the USA, Bluefin's inventory of the figure had been spoken for within a month of its release.

Mecha-King Ghidorah Released in the USA!

It's officially released as of today, March 26, 2015! If you want it sooner than later, place your orders through ToyArena at $199 with free shipping or Anime King Collectibles at $224.99 with free shipping. If you've pre-ordered else where and it's the same price, cancel them and order from these places. Otherwise, wait about a week or two for other retailers to get them in.

Best Deal Updates 03/21

If you still haven't had a chance to purchase Destoroyah, the only major retailer that still carries it as MSRP is Gundam Planet for $149.99 shipped. Eknightmedia, BBTS, and Toywiz have all raised there prices above the MSRP.

It also looks grim for the Mothra & Battra Larva Set as the only major retailer that still has it at/below MSRP is Image Anime for $100, not including shipping. Once this retailer sells out, the Larva Set will effectively hit the RED ZONE. However, there are smaller shops that may still carry it. But don't rely on that second chance.

Happy hunting!
