I wasn't saying that the kit was wrong in any way at all. I just tried to find a picture of the 64 suit so people could use it as reference

Although the spines should go up further on the neck and the neck seems a bit too long compared to the suit.

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.

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.

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

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 guess it's been awhile since I checked his prices. 25,000 yen is about standard, a little over $200, but these are resin kits.

Don't go here unless you want your mind blown. It has just about every Godzilla related kit ever created......and that's quite a lot.

I was thinking of picking up the gamera line of revoltech and monsterarts.

^ 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).

 

[ts124]

So how about that Godzilla vs King Kong announcement?

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.

Yeah totally love the spines. '55 has always been one of my favorites and X-Plus nailed it.

I'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.
