SH Monsterarts 1989 Godzilla with Electronic Features

This looks awesome but I'm going to have to wait for this one to go on sale at Amazon or something; I can't spend almost $200 on another 6" Godzilla.

Actually, it's 8inches becasue it is the start of a new electronic line.

Me:

More Heisei...

At least they are doing my favorite version of Godzilla from that era, but come on, when is Bandai going to showa love?

Oh ok, that's cool that they're being a little bigger, I was wondering if he was bigger but I couldn't tell w/o any other references. I love this version as well.

While freaking expensive this piece does look spectacular. Biollante is one of my personal favorite Godzilla movies and it established the main Heisei look that would see only minor variations from costume to costume. The look is such an iconic Godzilla that SH is repainting it to death and when NECA botched details like his scales I was still happy just to have the design for a cheap price.

NECA didn't do this version of Godzilla.

Yeah I know that they did the '94 suit but when you you look at a line up of the Heisei suits from 1989 to 1995 they're generally the same thing across the board. When I used the words "the look," I was referring to the Heisei era as a whole excluding 1984 since that one was distinct. Yes there are differences between suits but you'd have to look at them side by side and point them out as the overall shape and features were consistent. NECA's figure was so inaccurate to the specific suit that it comes across as a more generic Heisei figure rather than belonging to any one movie.

[Dr Kain]

Gotcha, although Godzilla's thighs get bigger as the Heisei suits progress.

Anyway, to be honest, while this new line is a cool little idea, I would only support it if Bandai decided to focus on the Showa monsters in this style.

Yeah he does pack on some weight over the years, and then in Godzilla vs King Ghidorah his chest just gets super big but I guess they realized it didn't look too good so he lost that weight.

Super dope figure. Too many other must gets for this for me unfortunately. I kinda wish I didn't have like a trillion other obligations/must haves because "somebody get a vet, this puppy is sick!" as you know who says

[MoFigyas]

I'll take a Millennium Godzilla like this please!

[HeadwoundYoda]

This figure looks amazing. The price is high for sure. And I don't know how often I would use the light up and sound features to make it worth the price for me. I grew up on the 1960's and 1970's Godzilla so a light up feature on of those styles would peak my interest even more.
