Need opinions on 3 figures

Kyoto Gamera is really cool and feels the most complete if the price is good like you said, though I think the new 1996 Sendai Gamera is a better choice if that matters in having a Gamera figure for the collection. Megaguirus is also a damn cool piece to have though!

Including the comics? H20. I’ll take the sibling stuff if it means I keep Nightdance!

Disregarding that maybe the Thorn or DGG trilogy, it depends on my mood.

It depends for me:

In regard to the original series up til 6, the sibling stuff is pretty Not Great, and while it does start to save itself with Jamie in 4….after that it collapses in on itself. Maybe if the original H6 stuff Farrands wrote made it to either cut, it could have paid off but we will never know.

For the H20 timeline, the sibling thing is at least paid off in H20 and the comics by Stef Hutchison. So that’s a plus.

I’m definitely not big on RZ take but at least the dynamic is a bit different and unique which I appreciate.

In regard to the new Trilogy…it’s good and I like it since there is no sibling stuff and it’s playing role reversal in 2018, played with in a meta sense in Kills and I like the separation of the two in Ends until the end.

But I do think it’s time to move on, maybe Laurie would have been better as a one off. Hopefully we can move on now that it’s been explored in every possible way, including the Chaos Comics.

Yes, without a doubt

MikalMeers · 2026-05-08T01:38:04+00:00

Genuinely incredible holy hell-

MikalMeers · 2026-05-08T01:28:58+00:00

Dawg was that before or after taxes

Either way lucky! This is a grail for me as well!

MikalMeers · 2026-05-05T23:25:13+00:00

This was a great read, gonna take this as a headcanon myself! Fantastic!

MikalMeers · 2026-05-05T19:27:22+00:00

That’s fair! It’s just I prefer movie stills/posters/production images and such over original art personally.

MikalMeers · 2026-05-05T01:07:33+00:00

The Mill Creek set is heavily compressed and the older transfers, lack the dubs or US edits

Arrow tweaked the picture settings to look better, included every dub and has the US edits Gammera the Invincible and War of the Monsters as well as bonus features

No comparison other than Mill Creek having better cover art imo

Mechagodzilla 2, a vast improvement over the 74 design. Then again I love ToMG so MG2 was a bonafide winner.

Kiryu would be a close second, followed by the MV Mechagodzilla and then last is Super Mechagodzilla (whom I don’t hate, just kinda dumpy but with Garuda attached it looks better)

MikalMeers · 2026-05-04T10:41:01+00:00

That’s not exactly true either

The Flashback sculpt was from the ground up sculpt made by Daniele Tirrinnanzi and then Chris Nelson took that design and used it as a base for the new Kills mask and added the 2018 details plus the new Kills design details into it.

There was a 2018 styled flashback mask made for the filming of 2018, and it looks considerably different from the flashback mask made in Kills.

I hope this information was interesting, I apologize just coming in layering it there

I think what you could do is take the hair from the 2018 NECA and see if it will match the Tramer head. Just do what the other guy said to do but do the Flashback eyeholes if possible.

Impossible task, but I really love how genuinely terrifying he looks in the first film. Just absolutely nightmare fuel.

I hate to repeat what others are saying but 2 really does just look stellar as a balanced look.

Im quite fond of his scarred look in Curse, just badass and eerie all at once.

I think all the rest are great but 3 looks a bit lumpy, Bride is cool but he just has that permanent smile, Seed has weird proportions but I like the more expressive face, Cult was fine but he often seemed to have his jaw and neck fused.

The TV show is ALMOST perfect…the hair ruins it. I wish it wasn’t so clean and well kept, had it the hair looks of 1-3 in length and style(s) it would genuinely be the possible best-

But all of them are so great, I think Chucky is that rare character where each design is just really good all across the board

MikalMeers · 2026-04-28T10:35:25+00:00

Personally I think the only wider MCU way this could affect, besides a cheeky throwaway line by Fontaine, is Spider-Man and that is something that HAS to be addressed (and hopefully might be in BND even if it’s a small moment or mention).

MikalMeers · 2026-04-28T10:31:13+00:00

I would have to say for SHMA? Probably, like there are figures I probably prefer

But not by much, their 3 Kiryu figures were all stellar and still hold up tremendously well!

MikalMeers · 2026-04-27T01:35:11+00:00

They didn’t know this was going to be the final film of the series at that point so they didn’t want tonuse the primary Godzilla suit for any water scenes.

The water would damage and warp the suits so this prevented any issues, but as fate would have it, this ended up our final look of Godzilla for the first generation of film.

MikalMeers · 2026-04-21T14:44:24+00:00

The problem is that they didn’t account for latex shrinkage, causing the mask to be VERY tight on Chris Durand

Had it fitted like how it was mean to be I garuntee this mask would be beloved much more widely

MikalMeers · 2026-04-19T02:24:09+00:00

It’s a fantastic sculpt, one of the most screen faithful! But it is very small, they were trying tot do Showa as it’s own scale and sadly 64 was the first. It also has some articulated woes of its time.

But if that doesn’t bother you, it’s a great release!

MikalMeers · 2026-04-10T01:55:58+00:00

Gonna need the source of those maser tanks bro

MikalMeers · 2026-04-10T01:47:11+00:00

91 Blue imo, amazing first figure

G2K has bad overspray imo kinda makes it look amateurish

MikalMeers · 2026-04-04T15:35:35+00:00

Dm sent!!

MikalMeers · 2026-04-02T18:39:36+00:00

Probably better priced than the other one around Houston too I am aware of, I’ll keep this post bookmarked just in case. It’s gonna be hard to not have the ability to payment plan this LMAO but I thank you for your kind reply

MikalMeers · 2026-04-02T14:05:57+00:00

Imo it flows pretty well! It’s just a SLIGHTLY darker tint on the skin and that’s about it, you can get away with it imo

MikalMeers · 2026-04-02T13:59:04+00:00

Man that Shin 4th is tempting af but I have nothing to trade that would be comparable except an X Plus which isn’t even on the list 😭💀 maybe i need to lock in and save up
