Godzilla (King of the Monsters 2019) 12 inch NECA Figure

Product Information

The articulation is top notch, you can do all sorts of ridiculous and awesome action poses with this thing. He comes with a atomic breath effect that's mostly intended for the firing up pose, but you can use it firing at the ground or if you have something to prop the effect part up, firing forward (sadly the effect part doesn't stay in securely and is only held in by gravity). Not a deal breaker though and it is really nice to get a cheaper (relatively speaking) SH Monsterarts that has an effect part. The painting on my figures eyes and mouth is on point, which I was worried about because I had heard there were QC issues with eyes and teeth paint on this figure.

My only complaint is the paint work on the body. The bumpiness of the skin is fantastic and the base color of charcoal gray is accurate and good, but there isn't enough highlights or variance in color to help break it up, it's there, but it's hard to notice without putting it under a bright light. This is where the NECA version of this Godzilla is better, that one has a well done paint job on the body that's very interesting to look at, and i would say more realistic. You can't go wrong with the neca version with it being so much cheaper. The face sculpt is phenomenal and the eyes are spot on mean looking. Something Bandai does really well at with their monsterfigures better than other toy makers is making intensity of the characters face very apparent, and giving high detail. The tongue is a separate part and painted well. The sculpt and paint on mine was great (minus the discoloration on the end of the tail). The eyes were even aligned! (I'm looking at you NECA!) Atomic Breath effect works really well and is a nice additon given the 2014 Godzilla didn't have any accessories. THE TAIL every damn segment is a damn ball joint so this thing looks so natural when you pose the tailMy right legs was very loose straight out of the box, which normally I would have gotten mad about but I used Clear Nail Polish (I heard superglue works too), abd just evenly painted it around the ball and the joints that were loose, and after it had dried I reconnected the joint and they were just how I needed them to be.

Ive only bought two SH Monsterarts figures before this, 1993 Godzilla and Godzilla 2000 Milenium (the original version that now goes for a ton) And both were great figures. The 1993 (or 94, I can't quite remember, but it's a 90's goji) was pretty stiff and hard to pose, it's when they were first starting to make these so it's understandable. Jumping to now with Legendary Godzilla's bulky design, and this toy actually poses extremely well, it has a ton of body movement that allows it to look up fully (to do the iconic pose seen in the promotional pictures) good leg movement and lots you can do with the tail. In the right pose he's surprisingly dynamic. This thing is insane. I haven't ever bought a SH MonsterArts before, but now I know the quality of this figure. It's amazing. The sculpt was actually made using the CGI model so it's incredibly accurate to the movies.
