S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2000 Updated

I don't consider myself a "Godzilla" fan, though I have seen seven of the movies. (Unfortunately, all of them have been dubbed, and I don't want to say they are "bad" simply due to awkward dubbing. I am willing to give them their fair chance, but I don't want bloody English dubbing of live-action! It's just... ugh.)

That being said, I really like his appearance in "Godzilla 2000". He's a lot more ferocious and aggressive looking, and a little less tubby than previous incarnations. I also really like the back spikes on this version, as well as his meaner looking face.

This figure looks great, and I am seriously considering getting it! Maybe it will be the first fixed-pose figure of high quality I ever get. $71.00? Ehh... I think I could manage that, considering I haven't bought any Super Sentai for two years now.

Yeah these are pretty articulated figures with the Mecha ones even having some metal in them. Collectiondx has reviewed seven figures from the line so far.

This one is a must-have. As soon as I saw Monsterarts Godzilla 90's, I was like 'I am so getting Godzilla 2000 if they make one...'.

I actually saw the dub of this in theaters around Christmas time. It was magical to see Godzilla the way he was meant to be viewed and while the movie remains a guilty pleasure, even among Godzilla films, the design is hands-down my favorite iteration of the monster. I hope the upcoming American Godzilla film takes more queues from this design than from Zilla...

I have a "G2K" figure* that looks almost exactly like this one- think it was made by Banpresto. It's soft vinyl and came unassembled in a bag- and believe me it looks absolutely awesome! One of my all-time favorite figures (only paid $25 about 10 years ago) and one of the coolest versions of Godzilla. Tail, head, and arms are poseable but the jaw doesn't close- think there could be open/closed jaw variants of the new figure?

*Note- I hate abbreviations like "G2K"
