Hi-Res Promo Stills of the Toho Ultimate Weapons 2 & Godzilla Effects 2 Sets

Toho Ultimate Weapons Set 2

Godzilla Effects Set 2

You may be asking yourself. But where was the Toho Ultimate Weapons Set 1? Even more of a mystery, was there even a Godzilla Effects 1? How does the number "2" work with these releases? Simple. Back in 2012, Bandai Tamashii Nations released an exclusive set, here known as the Toho Ultimate Weapons & Godzilla Effects Set. 

At the time, Bluefin Distribution's involvement with the S.H.MonsterArts line was just beginning and was unable, or didn't think it was a strategic marketing move, to bring over this web exclusive set to NA. So a lot of us here in the USA missed out on this set. You can still find it today, but the prices are heavily inflated due to it's being OOP for the last couple of years.

The good news is that this may all change in the future. Bluefin just announced that for the first time EVER that they're going to reissue a Web Exclusive, purely for the Western Market. Depending on how well it does it could pave a way to our beloved Garuda & the Toho Ultimate Weapons & Godzilla Effects Set. The figure they're renewing is a DBZ Goku. So lets hope DBZ fans buy it up like crazy. As stated before, this is a FIRST for the company to reissue a WEB EXCLUSIVE. We can only cross our fingers.

Hi-Res Photos of Garuda & Fire Rodan

Garuda

Fire Rodan

Never before released Hi-Res images of some past released figures. To this date, the highest unaltered resolution of Garuda was around 500x500. Additionally, Fire Rodan only had a select few photos in Hi-Res form. In our album we were even missing promo stills. Now this has been rectified with a complete Hi-Res album! Thanks goes out to the folks at Bandai Japan for providing these images. Check them out!

Site Interface Update!

A new interface for the UPCOMING & PAST RELEASES sections has been implemented for easier navigation, as well as looking a bit more streamlined. The main navigation bar has also been enhanced.

New information has been added such as accessories that came with certain figures, updated current 'Buy it Now' links to reflect the best deals for these figures, Release dates for all the past released monsters (North American Dates), MSRP prices for comparison, and status of figures that are out of print. You can report bugs in the comments section below.
