S.H. MonsterArts at Winter Wonderfest 2015

In light of just getting the S.H. MonsterArts Gamera (1996) not much was shown of the popular figure line at Winter Wonderfest this year. To be fair, this booth belongs to Yuji Sakai and not to Tamashii Nations themselves. What we see here are Sakai sculpts including various versions of Godzilla 2014 - Poster Color Version will be released with the upcoming BluRay set, and the Spit Fire Version may be a potential SDCC 2015 exclusive. Along with it we see the upcoming Godzilla 2000 Millennium Special Color Edition as well, which will be released May/June of this year.

What's New From X-Plus At Winter Wonderfest 2015?

Winter Wonderfest 2015 is in full swing right now in Japan, but we have already acquired a good number of photos of what X-Plus plans to release both new and old (with a twist.)

First off, we have confirmation that this year we'll be seeing the next figure in the Yuji Sakai Modeling Collection from X-Plus: Godzilla 1991. This is a figure that I have been hoping for ever since first acquiring the Sakai Godzilla 1989 figure. (Huzzah!)

Next we see the popular X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series Godzilla 1989 and Biollante. Both figures are slated to get reissues exclusively through X-Plus' website and have light-up features. 

Finally we see the new X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series Mothra 1964, fully painted this time. We also see the X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series 1964 too, which will receive a rerelease in March. 

No sign of the Toho 30cm Series Godzilla 2014 (yet,) but if anything new pops up, we'll be sure to update this post!

Update 02/09/15: According to an X-Plus representative at Wonderfest, the Toho 30cm Series Godzilla 2014 is currently in production and preorders will start being accepted towards the end of March. The standard release of the figure will have both heads - neutral and roaring. The Shounen RIC exclusive has not yet been revealed at the moment.

Figure Comparison: NECA 12-inch Head-to-Tail Godzilla vs. S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2014

The question has been asked time and time again since their releases: what's the better figure? The NECA 12-inch Head-to-Tail Godzilla or the S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2014? It's a hard question to answer since one figure is much cheaper and more available, while the other is a bit pricier and obtainable through specialty stores or the internet. To most it's like comparing apples to oranges. However, I plan to point out the differences between these two figures and determine which one's the better buy. 

Without further ado, let us begin!
