X-Plus News

Well, here's a bit of news from the X-Plus front.

Photos of the fully painted prototype of the Toho Large Monsters Series Gorosaurus 1967 are now finally up on X-Plus' official website. They definitely look good! However, recently, I have been considering on passing on Gorosaurus in favor to save up my money for something else...

Also, images of the prototype for the Toho Large Monsters Series Varan have also surfaced! Unlike its 30cm counterpart, the 25cm version will be on all fours. Both Gorosaurus and Varan are now up for preorder at Hobby Search and Amiami. Varan's slated for a late November release.

Then, next in the 30cm series is a reissue of their Gigan 1972 figure with errors from the previous release all fixed up. The figure is apparently a RicBoy exclusive and sculpted entirely out of resin. It looks neat, but I prefer the 25cm version.

Also, according to GCrusher from the TohoKingdom forums, King Ghidorah, Mechani-Kong, and Toho's King Kong have been mentioned. Are these figures that we can be seeing next year? Let's wait and see! 

The King of Terror is coming....

I just placed my payment for the S.H. MonsterArts King Ghidorah through Amiami, about ten minutes ago. This big baddie cost me 11,000 yen (around $141.00) in total! Gee wiz, I hope he is absolutely worth it. I still have to pay off for the X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series Godzilla 1968 as well in the coming days, so my collection budget has pretty much shrunk! Thank goodness, the next figure I'm getting - the S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 1995 - doesn't come out till late November!

On the bright side, since I'm paying out of my butt for shipping, Amiami better pack KG real good and tight so nothing breaks! Make sure to look out for my very first Kaiju Planet Kaiju Toy Video Review for this guy next week. :D

Update - I received the shipping notice on this figure almost an hour ago. So, I should be expecting him either on Tuesday or Wednesday this coming week. I am so excited!

Next in line for S.H. MonsterArts...

DESTOROYAH!

Woke up this morning, and found this scan posted at the TohoKingdom forums.
I hope we see this big guy at NYCC next month. The S.H. MonsterArts Destoroyah looks great, and really outdoes itself with the detailing. Also, notice that Dessy's fingers are also articulated. That is pretty cool.

I can't wait to see more on this guy. Perhaps the Aggregate Destroyah would be a web exclusive?
