Like yourself I haven't experienced any significant issues with any of my eight Monsterarts figures. I know they exist (especially with the 2014 Godzilla and first run Ghidorah), they just don't seem as common as the internet makes them seem.

My figures have come from BBTS, Nippon Yassan, Amazon and Ebay. Not a single one of my figures have any obviously sloppy paint applications, nor do they have random hairs or fingerprints. My figures are also free of wonky ball joints, stuck joints. A few have minimally skewed eyes but I can live with a defect that requires deliberate effort to notice.

By way of comparison, I own four NECA Shin Godzillas (2 originals, 2 atomic blast). The tail flops about lazily on two of the four. One of the four remains unopened, so who knows if the number is actually 3/4?

My biggest complaint is that Battera's head falls off a lot if you're messing with it. Otherwise I agree. I skipped the first Ghidorah (I guess luckily considering) but the second one getting a US release and more reasonable price got me in on it.

I don't like the high prices so I just wait it out on Amazon for them to get like a 30% discount or something; I'd limit it to like $60ish for a Godzilla size figure. I really want that poster Mechagodzilla they did but a bit too high priced for me like I said.

If NECA's '62 Godzilla is as good as it looks though, I'll wait out a lot of releases to see what they do first too.
