Thanks, good to know. Hope HobbySearch don't let me down, first time using them so not really sure what to expect.

I've been using them for about 10 years. They are top notch. They always take great care in packing.

Excellent, I can now rest a bit easy with big purchase like this.

I'm only making these comments because it's a $240+ figure, but I think it looks off in the face straight on and something with the legs. I could be wrong of course, I'm just going off memory. The 3/4 view of it does look terrific though.

With multiple suits used in the film, he did look a bit different at times, but the reference here seems to be the main action of the film, and I think he captures it wonderfully.

Yeah, Sakai doesn't make mistakes. His stuff from the 90's may be a little off, but there is no one better today. You can pretty much count on perfection.

Without question, even if some features are a bit exaggerated, his 8" '84 he did for Kaiyodo remains the treasure of my entire Godzilla collection, the best representation of the film suit in any scale that I've ever seen, even this X-Plus doesn't beat it because of the close mouth, but it'll be a close second.

Looking forward to updating the family photo.

The 84 Godzilla is now up at Hobby Search for $208

How much is shipping normally to the states? They have all these option at Hobby Search for shipping, but I don't know which one to use. Thanks!

One Large monster series figure is about $45 to $50 by EMS. A 30cm series figure is about $55. I never bother with the slower mail, so I don't know.

Typically when items get to be large, it's cheaper for some reason to use EMS.

Thank you!

Sideshow has X Plus 84 for pre-order $240.

Finally paid off my X Plus Gigantic 2019 Godzilla regular edition figure over the weekend. Now the wait until it gets here

 

[GDZILLA95]

Well, it is supposed to be released at the end of the month, so hopefully the wait won't be too long.
I'm hoping not; as I have one ordered myself.

Anyone knows how Xplus "welds" or seals its seams?

I had one Sakai Shin, and it's pretty much flawless except for that seam on the forhead which is pretty common from what I can gather, but I got a second Shin for the office and that one doesn't have it, so it makes the one that has it more unsightly to me ever since.

People have recommended me some Epoxy but I don't really want to put putty on top of plastic, is there a way to like "weld" it or something? Maybe a soldering iron? Would that completely ruin it?

You absolutely don't want to use a soldering iron on it. The result would be horrible. They just use glue on these things. Don't know if that could be broken down with some glue remover. What you could try is heating it up with a hair dryer until it is really soft. If you can press the gap closed enough to suit you, then you can put a line of super glue in it and hold it closed until the glue dries and the vinyl hardens.

 

[GasparZizou]

Will try that out this weekend!

Thanks man!

And Roger that, no soldering iron! :

 

[Darth Lam]

So, I'm getting ready to preorder the Spiral Studios Ghidorah. Anyone have any info on these guys and their reliability?

 

[xb24]

I think it's their first piece so we'll see once it releases. I took a gamble and PO'd it too. I hope the final product looks as good as the promo images.

 

[gojiman]

The Gigantic G19 is suppose to release on the 27th from HobbySearch so tomorrow it is. I hope everything goes smooth.
