Why are the tips of the teeth black?

Thanks for the careful observation. Just watched King Kong vs Godzilla, and Godzilla does not have black tips on his teeth.

Yo Joe, my RIC Defo 62 has black tips on the teeth as well. My guess would be that they all are like that, but who knows.

My Defo 62 (reg version) does as well. Only noticeable up close though. More of a grey color than black.

Holy moly! Deagostini is issuing an 18 month long weekly subscription magazine that includes all the parts to build a 60cm (!!!) tall remote control Godzilla 1954 sculpted by Yuji Sakai! Issues are ¥1990 each which equates to a little under $1500 total.

Holy ****.

Opened this up tonight. Not perfect but still really like it. A review vid is coming. Definitely some positive and negatives. I don't like the tail stand and it is needed for this. Sometimes you can get away with it but not this guy. Love the light up fins and they are very bright and vivid. However I like the original 64 Ric better with the blue colored fins. The eyes do look off when looking at him straight on but from other angles he looks great Overall I'm happy with him.

Those are some bright fins.

Damn them for making this so expensive...

Yes definitely brighter then others. I just wish they were blue like the original Ric Boy 64 did. But still a nice feature overall.

Anyone know about the "Hyper Solid Series"? Their Shin Godzilla just went up for preorder at a bunch of places, I like the pose a lot.

A bit pricey, I believe it's about 8" tall but around $170.

So the remote version of this came out years ago. Now they want to charge you more and build it yourself? What? Although I don't think the fins lit up on the original.

You’re thinking of the Tokyo Marui RC figures (there was a ‘54 version and an ‘89 version). Pretty sure this is an all new sculpt by Yuji Sakai with all new robotics. Also, I don’t think the old one you’re thinking of was quite this big. This one is 60cm tall!

It says 30cm tall but I suppose they could be measuring to the top of the tail and not his head. I was confusing the XPlus 30cm scale with the height of this figure.

Are they going to sell it in the US?

The RC '54? No, the Shin posted earlier, yes it's on BBTS now.

That figure is made by Art Spirits. I have it, got it last year from Hobby Link Japan. It is very detailed and is solid and heavy. It came with two heads; both open mouth, but the shape of the bottom jaw is different. The only thing that I don't like about this figure is that it is a little short. They also made one with the purple accents. The purple colored ones can be found on ebay, but are around $400, so the $170 price isn't too bad.

Oh that's good to know. About how tall is it actually?

Ah yes, I couldn't think of the manufacturer. That one was around 48cm tall.

It is 7 1/2" tall at the top of the head and 10 1/4" tall at the tip of the tail. Here are a few pics of mine.
