Kaiju Toy Review - UX-01-92 Garuda & Effects for MechaGodzilla

After months of waiting, I finally received the web exclusive UX-01-92 Garuda & Effects for the SH MonsterArts MechaGodzilla action figure.

First off, I would like to talk about the Garuda airship itself. It's about six inches in length. The detailing on this ship is pretty good, getting every nook and cranny down. Articulation can be found in the long cannons, and even on the rocket nozzles on the back of the ship, which I found pretty surprising and neat.

Along with the Garuda airship, the pack includes its Beam Cannons (pictured above), and MechaGodzilla's Shock Anchor weapon (Not Pictured), which he utilized to nearly kill off Godzilla in the film, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (1993). The pack also comes with parts that allow it to dock onto MechaGodzilla's back. These parts include some alternate flaps on the bottom of the ship, and a new dorsal plate piece that the Garuda snaps onto and then can be attached to MechaGodzilla. The result is a much more complete figure - SUPER MECHAGODZILLA!


This pack is a certain MUST for anyone who has the SH MonsterArts MechaGodzilla, or is a completist such as myself. The Garuda definitely adds on to the quality of the MechaGodzilla figure. I actually like it better now than before. Overall. I am so glad that I found this when this item was sold out almost everywhere else. If anyone else finds one - for a decent price - don't hesitate to snatch it up! You won't regret it.

    1. As far as I know, they're sold out almost everywhere. There is a couple or so in stock at this site:

      http://www.itcamefromjapan.com/SHMonsterArts-Tamashii-Web-Effects-and-UX-01-92-Garuda-Set-for-Mecha-Godzilla-Bandai_p_380.html

      But, you'd need to spend $124.00 plus shipping. It's one of those items that you should reserve in advanced unfortunately. I'm quite surprised how these web exclusives become so scarce shortly after they release!

      As for SpaceGodzilla, the only thing that comes close as an exclusive is the Web Exclusive S.H.MonsterArts Little Godzilla with Crystal Set. You can find it at BigBadToyStore and even Amazon.com for around $40.
