Nice to see the (deserved) love for GMK. Here's a nice large iteration of that suit, the West Kenji vinyl. It came as both a prepainted, giftboxed figure, and a gray vinyl kit, as another poster indicated earlier in this thread. The Baragon was released (I have it,) but only as a kit. It kind of slipped under the radar with a lot of Gozi-collectors...

Man, I'm glad you were finally able to get the tail on this guy. Sorry I wasn't more help to you. For me, the tails on Gorosaurus and Anguirus were fairly simple to get in, but Godzilla 2003 and Gigan were tough. However after about 1/2 hour on both of them, I was able to get the tails in. Does it fit snugly into the body?
Are you still planning on getting Godzilla '68 as well? I got a notification from Hobby Search that he's already in stock.

GMK is my favorite and I love the West Kenji representation of him. I haven't been able to locate the prepainted figure, but did purchase the vinyl kit. I have no modeling or painting skills though, so I've just kept it in my closet so far.
I'm looking forward to X Plus's release of him, but I do wish he was in the same 30 cm scale of their previous Godzilla releases.

My wife and I share a pretty large Godzilla collection, and two of our favorite pieces are the Bandai "Final Premium" Burning Godzilla, and the M-1 (1/1 scale - suit size) G vs. Biollante bust.

I love the Final Super Premium Godzilla. The orange and yellow coloration on it is phenomenal. I went with the original Super Premium, because I like the classic coloration on him, but if I had a chance to own the other one at a decent price, I'd probably go for it without question.

We had both, but ended up selling the Super Premium. I needed serious cash for a Bat-item, and we decided we could part with that one, as well as the "glitter" and "meltdown" Bandai 8" figures. Still hurts to think about, but then I'm "The Batman Professor," not "The Godzilla Professor." Doesn't mean we don't love Gozi, but priorities, you know.

Here's the West Kenji Baragon. He's been assembled for years, but I still haven't gotten around to painting him yet.

Wow, I just finished putting the the Bandi Gozilla Figures up on Capstones site and didn't realize there was such a following for this stuff. I enjoy the movies though, but my wife thinks they are a waste of time.
yup ! im hoping it was just a fluke . got notice as well . im gonna wait till friday to pay up . it came a little quicker than i anticipated .
tell your wife to grow up ?
I didn't realize the X-Plus stuff was vinyl, I thought they were resin. Really impressive stuff, just waiting for them to do a suit I'm really a fan of. Also waiting for the Revoltech Mothra to go on sale.

Yep, that's the "Final Premium," and it's a real beauty. If anyone here is interested in bidding, make sure it has the numbered card and the matching number plate on the bottom of his foot. The card is similar to a credit card, with the number stamped in black.

I just wanted to let those interested know that revoltech Mothra is up for pre-order on BBTS. She looks very awesome and is set to ship in August.

Nice, I've been waiting for them to put her up.

This custom made Godzilla 2000 head on ebay is pretty cool looking. It's not something I think I'd really want and I wouldn't have room to display it, but still cool anyhow.
That does look cool, and I seriously want a Godzilla bust, but more about the size that the head would be on the suit, like a human 1:1 bust size, maybe a bit smaller even, that one's a bit too big. I'd probably get just about any Godzilla suit head too, I just think it'd be cool to have something like that, it's unique, but there hasn't been a mass produced one.
