Best Deals & Availability 12/10

Zone Alerts!

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.

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.
