Brown or green?

I love when the bad one spits out the clothes.

I liked the Brown Gargantua, the good one

I'm going to have to look for those!

They look like this. I think they were originally released as model kits, and then X-Plus released them as completed figures. They'd fit in with the 12" Godzilla figures. I think I saw a Gaira pop up on ebay one time. They seem pretty hard to come by.

^^Boba, that's just damn beautiful.

For people who ordered Biollante off Hobby Search - what was your grand total including shipping?

Trying to compare prices right now and find the best deal. My total is 49,450 JPY on AmiAmi with EMS. Shipping alone is 11,250 JPY. I wonder if I should re-order with SAL if it would save me any money or not....

I didn't order from Hobby Search, I went through Otacute and the total price came to $592 U.S. Shipping alone was $128 or something like that. I also think shipping restrictions won't allow them to ship this through SAL.

Ah, thanks for the shipping info. Assuming HobbySearch and AmiAmi charge pretty similiar shipping rates, AmiAmi is probably my best bet then for price. Just sucks to be spending so much on a piece of vinyl....but Biollante is one of favorites and I doubt they'll ever make a 30cm version anytime soon.

Also I feel like buying X-Plus is like buying Hot Toys a lot of the time - they never really go down in value if ever did want to resell.

For people that did buy Biollante - is she basically your new grail piece or no?

 

[Boba Ben]

It's an amazing figure, but I don't think she's worth the price to be honest.

It's pretty huge. The 10" Godzilla looks tiny next to Biollante. Even the 12" figures look small next to her.

Bio looks cool but im saving my loot for KG. i really hope they make a 62 kong to go with the 62 G . a Mecha Kong Needs to be done in 30cm as well.

I don't think a Kong will ever happen. I hear Toho actually has problems using MechaniKong nowadays too because it's considered using Kong's likeness.

So unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see either one unless Toho can obtain the right for Kong again, which probably won't ever happen either.

they can probably get around that by just calling him kong

Wow, had no idea Biolante would cost that much.
I'll have to pass.

I'm on the same page as you.

I really want a odzilla 1955. Imo thats the best Godzilla on film. The first one is a close second.

 

[Drunken Kong]

Alright I decided to instead buy a Biollante off ebay for $580 shipped. Seemed like the best price.

'55 would be great with '54s head, but the head makes him look like '54s goofy brother to me.

 

[Hellz Manik]

love me some godzilla, a pf hopefully

 

[MaulFan]

Not likely, maybe for the Legendary Godzilla, but Toho seems very picky about who they grant licenses too, not many American companies get one, particularly for figures/models/statues, they've got many companies in the eastern world that produce those items.

 

[Boba Ben]

Here are some comparison shots and such of Biollante. I have him next to the "10 Godzilla 89 in a few shots and next to the 12" 92 Godzilla in one shot.

Here are some pics of the 30 cm GMK Godzilla from X Plus.
