Better Look at NECA’s Shin Godzilla Sculpt

Posted on October 14, 2016 at 10:08 am by Joe Moore under Godzilla Toy News

Earlier this week, at a screening of the new Godzilla: Resurgence at the Alamo Drafthouse in New York, NECA gave fans a surprise. At the theater, they displayed their new Shin Godzilla 12″ head-to-tail figure. Today NECA has shared a closer look at the sculpt for the figure. Some of the photos from the event seemed to distort the actual proportions, especially the head sculpt. This new photos shows that the head is much more in line with the film version. NECA also revealed that they will be making the head sculpt a little smaller, about 3%, before the final release.

    With a bit of custom paint work - because the end product never matches the prototype, this will be wicked. A nice alternative to the gap riddled S.H. Monsterarts line.

    It's really just a nice alternative because it's so much cheaper. The SH ones I've seen do look great but their price-to-size ratio is beyond what I'll pay.

    More lame crap from NECA. How about doing the Godzillas that Bandai isn't doing in the MA line?

    Anyway, as much as I enjoyed the movie last night, I just don't like this Godzilla design enough to want to bother with this inaccurate toy.

    I know our opinions will probably differ, but I'm curious what you think about the ShMonsterarts version how accurate to the movie it is, since you actually saw the movie and him in motion. I was lucky and was able to secure a preorder in japan for Shin Gojira.

    It kinda looks like they did the mouth, nose, and pupils wrong, and it's too fat/wide. But I didn't see ore then stills before the movie so not entirely sure.

    One thing is idoncare how good looking the ShM version is it better be engineered good. I can't stand moving joints thar pop apart or worse, strait pegs like the 2001 version GMK

    Edit; although that was a good looking toy. But the articulation on the ShM. 1954 looks really improved especially the head movement.

    Just wanted to say that I loved the movie!

    I don't love the design,but unless I see the SHM on sale; I'll probably pick this up to have one.

    I haven't seen the movie and I'm not really sold on that design, but it looks like a well done figure. I'm glad Neca is still doing Godzilla stuff and hope we get to see more in the future. As someone who is a fan of G-man and doesn't want to go through the effort or pay out the nose of some import figures, Neca has been my only life-line for Godzilla stuff as of late.

    I still have yet to see the movie. Toy looks good. Still not a big fan of the creature design myself. I'll get it, mainly for NECA Godzilla completion sake.

    While it looks better showing just the sculpt, and I'm glad they acknowledge the head needs to be smaller, I think it's gonna need a bit more than 3%, and the arms are still a bit too thick. They don't look as sickeningly skinny as they should.

    At this point I'm still gonna hold out for a second release of the SHMA that actually includes accessories worthy of the $100+ price point that one has, like atomic breath effects.

  13. CrockAlley's Avatar CrockAlley says

    10-14-2016, 02:34 PM

    Looks nice. Very excited. I didn't like the design until I saw the movie. I hope NECA takes full advantage of the Shin Godzilla film, if you get my drift.

    Looks to be more normally proportioned than the atrophied look seen in the movie. I like it, it'll be an interesting variation; sculpt looks nice and sharp too.

    IM liking the new look with the smaller head, saw the movie and this Godzilla was truly a horrific non stop killing machine. Very excited to get this one.

    If Godzilla didn't look like he came out of a PS4 game, I might agree about him looking horrific. He just looked way too fake in the movie for me to really like him.

    After having now seen the film (it's an exceptional Godzilla film), I think NECA's sculpt is pretty darn good. Be a good filler until Bandai re-releases their one with all the cool effect parts

    I was SOMEHOW able to secure a preorder for less then 90 dollars of the ShMonsterarts ver. I'm gonna stick with that I just hope it's not riddled with parts that pop bc that drives me nuts. I'm sure I'll get the NECA too so my son can bang him around the house. He loves playing Transformers vrs Godzilla vrs the Super heroes lol

    So grateful a decently-priced release will be happening. Wonder what the MonsterArts version will have with the effects in its inevitable second version.

    While on the subject, anyone know if/when the movie will be released on digital/DVD, if at all?

    The newer mold looks wonderful. It's awesome to see them putting in this effort to put out a quality figure.

    12-01-2016, 03:38 PM

    I'm glad they're open to criticism as they seem to have tweaked this mold a bit. I'm comparing him to screen shots from the film and he looks about as close as they can probably get, though I'm not sure about the tail length.

    Now I just need to see this elusive film so I can decide if I want to buy this figure or not.

    It looks much better, but then I think about how the final product will be bombarded with cheap rubbery spines and a got awful bendy tail.

  25. Stranger's Avatar Stranger says

    12-02-2016, 01:19 AM

    I think the spines will be mostly injection molded plastic... The tail as well. With joints. Though I agree, not a fan of this design at all. I loved the 2014 design. Nice throwback to the original yet bringing him startlingly to life. Too bad he only had like 10 minutes of screen time...
