I start believing that I have finally parted ways with the Tamashi Nations / Bandai "S.H. MonsterArts" line of kaiju figures...
... Then they drag me back in again.
First images of the new Godzilla 1962, from KING KONG VS. GODZILLA movie:

Don't like the fire breath or the articulation, but that face is "my" Godzilla! (KKvsG was my first!)

Higher Res photos of the prototype G '62:

My hope is that this figure doesn't have the same quality control problems that have plagued this line from the get-go...

Bill -- this is one of the reasons that I haven't bought any of the S.H. Monsterarts figures. (The other -- I don't know where they'd fit in my apartment. Such is life in New York.)
I wanted to get the 1954 Godzilla but the paint job...meh. I hope it gets reissued with slightly different colors (pain the claws, at least!). It happened before with other figures.
I really want to get the 2002 Godzilla but I keep hearing about paint problems with the eyes and teeth. I don't want to end up buying a "lemon."
And trying to get a King Ghidorah figure -- forget it. Way too expensive.

Adam, don't forget that the first production run of the S.H. Monsterarts King Ghidorah had broken wings right out of the box...
