I like how Spacegodzilla and King Caesar of all kaiju can get two cards but Titanosaurus gets squat. At least Anguirus made it in.
All the artwork is gorgeous though.
I NEED the Gigan. I NEED HIM when he comes out.
I NEED HIM.
Yeah, it is either excellent hindsight, or a mere coincidence.
I remember the marketing for KOTM being out since comicon and I think it may have hurt it's profits. Like people were maybe fed up with seeing all the ads.
Let's just get healthy first and watch Godzilla wreck some ishhh after.

Uh huh... sure. April fools.
Godzilla has to win. I faught my entire high school for 4 years and they weren't even Kong fans. They just knew how much that call in 62 upset me and if you wanted a fight when I was young all u had to do was say Kong can beat Godzilla and I'm putting up me freaking dukes. It was a tough time and I thought the nightmare was over... SO IT HAD BETTER BE. GODZILLA REIGNS SUPREME (except shin Kong can smoke that poser)
It also greatly upsets me to see how popular it is becoming to break Godzilla's indestructible dorsal plates. Kong better not be able to do that and I'm gonna be pissed if Kong is able to wound the true King.
Godzilla is immortal destined to walk the earth forever. Indestructible. A God of destruction that grows bigger and more powerful by the second forever. A true Dragon.
Mega Godzilla should be Mecha-Godzillas first stage, a poser atting cities to fool people into thinking Godzilla is mean.
Rodan should attack and the hero human should say "Something's wrong. Rodan shouldn't attack his friend Godzilla."
Mega Godzilla should get a piece of his artificial scales ripped off exposing shiny metal. MG makes Rodan retreat WITHOUT BREAKING HIS JAW OR WOUNDING HIM
Rodan tells Godzilla. MG base is skull island where MG beat Kong and they are gonna ship him off to NY in chains but Godzilla shows up waking him in aircraft carrier. Godzilla wins fight. Kong escapes to mountain. Godzilla breaks MG bunker. Kong witnesses Godzilla beat MG who gets something knocked loose in fight. Robot berserker goes crazy to destroy cities and beat other kaiju into submission to take Godzilla's army and use them against him.
Godzilla and Kong battle thier ways through MG forces to eventually meet up in Hong Kong
Final battle in Hong kong MG gets infiltrated and fixed by hero human who then saves Kong from Godzilla and flies him off to skull island to heal. Godzilla wins. No wounds or blood like in 64. Good clean fight. Lots of city smashing. No cheap after demolition shots. Godzilla and other kaiju breaking stuff on screen. SHOW US THE PROPERTY DESTRUCTION!!! No gore. They should have professional evacuations handy
After credits King Ghidorah regenerated bows and brings Godzilla evidence of Destroyah. Kong joins them and they start to hunt
Is this an April Fools joke?
Mondo are always top of their game, these are incredible!
TL;DR: S.H. MonsterArts Biollante is extremely desirable as one of the two best Biollante figures (the other being the breathtaking X-Plus, of course), but it's way overpriced on the gray market right now unless you've got Warhammer 40K levels of disposable income.
Hey, bit late but since I own a Monsterarts Biollante I figured I could weigh in. So, first thing's first: SH Monsterarts Biollante is not worth $1500, even if Biollante is your favorite kaiju (and Biollante is my favorite kaiju). If you happen to be stupidly wealthy, ok that's different, but otherwise no. Prices on eBay are also absurd, running from about $800-$9,000 (yes, there are actually two listings at the time I'm writing this for $9K, and both show pictures of the light-up X-Plus Biollante; I don't know what they're smoking, but it's strong stuff).
All of that said...I think the figure itself is absolutely fantastic and about as close to a "must-have" as I think a figure can get. It's huge for the scale it's made in, has tons and tons and tons of details, the paint job is great even if it's not flawless, and the articulation and posability are far better than should be possible with a great tree-trunk of a kaiju like Biollante. If you love Biollante and can find this figure for a price you can stomach, GET IT. Otherwise, hope that she appears in a future movie or that the MonsterArts figure gets re-released, because the price is unlikely to come down much at this point.
Best of luck if you decide to seek this one out!
VINNIE "And Kong will win the battle, there is no way around this. Godzilla won the last two movies, so he will have to pass his crown."
There's no guarantee at this point that that is what will happen.
I don't think Godzilla is that territorial. He doesn't care about the island as he does for the balance.
So I think if they clash, they'll do over something else, what is put between them via humans (#WhatASurpriseHumanDoesSomethingStupidAgain)!
And Kong will win the battle, there is no way around this. Godzilla won the last two movies, so he will have to pass his crown.
Cheerio, Vin
Also aid like to point out that amoral isn’t evil
Jurassickaiju I’m just joking around
Gmkgoji: I was hoping to watch the AXZ OVAs first, but they're proving very hard to track down online, so I'll probably start tomorrow.
Titan of Water "I know I must have upset a lot of G-Fans, but that honestly kinda makes me happy getting the Godzilla worshipers panties in a twist."
I hope you realize just how trollish this kind of statement makes you sound. But given your ending banner, you probably already do.
dk "I don't think Godzilla is amoral. Godzilla is more about keeping balance globally whereas Kong seeks the same thing locally."
Exactly.
Despite me liking Godzilla more than Kong, I agree with you that Kong should win, not only because he deserves to, but because it would also develope the MonsterVerse story wise.
However, I think that saying he'll lose due to his disadvantage in power is a false statement. This is actually an argument G fans constantly use against Kong rooters that I've never liked (that Godzilla should win because he's more powerful). Power ≠ the right to win. That's like saying any underdog protagonist shouldn't defeat the antagonist because they are weaker. Now I'm not saying Godzilla's going to be the antagonist in GvK, but it's the same mind set. And like (most) Godzilla movies, the underdog finds a way to come on top.
Also, like dk said, I don't consider Godzilla to be amoral at all. He fully realizes the impact his deeds have on the world, and his intentions aren't so much about power as they are about maintaining balance. However, I do agree that his "great cause" for earth will get in the way of Kong's rights to his own home.
I think I understand your points but have to disagree a bit.
I do agree that Kong wants to be left alone on his Island, but the Monsterverse movies point to it being the place where major stuff will go down. And it's no fault to Kong.
I don't think Godzilla is amoral. Godzilla is more about keeping balance globally whereas Kong seeks the same thing locally.
For instance, people in New York or Melborne might not even know about Kong, but when the rubber meets the road, EVERYBODY knows who Godzilla is.
I think it will be a brutal fight but ultimately end in a draw. Neither creature has good reason to hate one another. Kong wants his space to be at peace and Godzilla wants the world to be at peace.
Gomi: Ninja Monster Nice. When are you going to watch XV?
It's way expensive, but considering the size, detail and lighting, it is probably worth it.
The level of detail in this is insane!
From what I see in the third picture, the light effects in his necks look amazing. They could do something like that with Godzilla's spines and Mothra & Rodan's wings.
"Is This The Greatest Ghidorah Collectible Ever?"
Yes. Yes it is.
Can't wait for them to do Rodan, Mothra, and Godzilla.
Good gravy. I don't even need to own this, I'd pay just to see it in person, that looks incredible.
Gmkgoji:
Oh, I finished AXZ recently. Was good.
Does anyone know if you can get this on Xbox? I am a huge ass G-fan and I need that game. I had it on my PS3 it got a virus. please let me know.
That got to be one of the best images I've seen. Design, point of view, shading, yeah that's a winner.
well the monsterverse godzilla movies rely heavily on CGI for both monsters and destruction effects and CGI is expensive hence why they cut to humans after showing a snippet of kaiju action. Also CGI works better in night scenes rather than in broad day light scenes.
This wasn't the case for the tokusatsu godzilla where they used a man in a suit hence why godzilla took place primarily during the day.
I am totally with you guys.
But the problem with both Godzilla movies were the TOO MUCH HUMAN INTERACTION.
I also have a problem with the unclear and unfinished fight sequences between the monsters: They always fight nights and as soon it got interesting they cut to humans.
I am not saying NO Human Interaction or Human Driven story. But if I watch a Godzilla movie I would like to see the presence of Godzilla and co.
I like human driven movies assuming the characters are good and having interesting. Having engaging characters has been a solid weakness of the 2 monsterverse Godzilla movies imo, so I hope they do better in GvK
