MM28 kits are surprisingly inexpensive considering the quality. Most 30cm kits run 18-20,000 yen, less than $170 with current exchange rate. Of course then you have to build and paint it. Replicating an X-Plus paint job would not be that difficult. There's very little detailing. Paint the whole thing grey. Dry brush some white on the fins. Gloss white in the eyes and a big black pupil, some off white for teeth and nails and presto. OK, so it's a little work, but it can be so worth it.Yeah that 64 is SOLID! I wonder how much more that might cost than the $150 of the x-plus because that has to be a factor as well.

There are a few places here in the US you can get them, but you really need a line to Japan. Here's a link for one of the sculptors I mentioned before, Asai at Kaiju Freaks. At least you can look. These are a good deal higher in price.I would love to get into model kits, but I have no idea where to even get them. I see some on mandarake occasionally that id like. But then im afaid of messing them up

Didnt realize they were that affordable. I really can't paint much but I have always been tempted to try.

works
It took me a few moments tooI just got the 1999 gigantic godzilla in. Can't get the damn tail in tho.
I was thinking of picking up the gamera line of revoltech and monsterarts.
I thought x-plus really hit that one on the head too. They captured all that ugliness and made a pretty neat figure out of it. I've always loved his spines.^ worth it. The SHMA Gamera is all kinds of awesome (maybe my favorite so far).
Picked up the '55 Godzilla X-Plus. Great looking vinyl - weird boxer pose and all. Always liked the fugliness of that suit (and the fangs). The movie itself has its problems but I love the Godzilla coming ashore Osaka at night scene - and the night battle with Anguirus. Still has a horror movie quality to it (like the first one).
So how about that Godzilla vs King Kong announcement?

Well they said that mothra rodan and king ghidorah are planned as well. Im pretty excitedI'm a bit saddened actually to be honest, I thought Godzilla was headed for a rounded trilogy but with that movie slated for 2020, it seems like they may drop that notion and possibly change Godzilla 2 to setup that film instead of being it's own identity.
