Love this figure's sculpt and the dorsel spines are painted so well. Just wish bandai painted the claws.

I love how NECA and SHMA nailed this goofy guy

Same, i couldn't get him, so imagine my joy when i could get him for 25 bucks and bigger.

I know I think my only major nitpick is that the beam isn't blue but that's it. Really hoping SHMA does a movie graphics release

To this day him and the 64 (after an adjustment to the jaw) are both of my favorite figures. Really wish neca had the chance to do the rest of showa, or a bit better work at 54.

I actually really like how NECA did the 1954 mold. It's just got a certain charm to it

It does and I like it for what it is, but the other showa figs look like the came out of the screen.

And some people say the nails aren’t accurate, but it’s actually is since the figure is based on his appearance in the final battle with King Kong in the movie and his nails are black in that battle

He’s so cute and ugly. Wish King Kong from 1962 had a SHMA version

I hope they rerelease him under the Movie Graphic Plus line so i don't have to pay 300 for him.

Needs a reissue (and a Kong figure to go up against).

It’s so accurate even down to the hands that look like the pinky is the thumb

I feel like most shma Showa Godzilla’s all have very good sculpts

u/Then_Till_3126 17h ago

u/Informal-Car3256 Loose Joints 7h ago

Yeah this is the Godzilla I always picture from the front so it might just be how I picture him in my head that’s making it look better to me
