Tamashii Mix Mechagodzilla and SH MonsterArts Godzilla Poster Versions New Photos and Info

under Godzilla Toy News

The upcoming Tamashii Mix Mechagodzilla Poster Version and S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla Genuine Poster Edition have gone up for pre-order as Bandai Premium Web Exclusives. The listings give us some great new photos and a bit more info on the two releases. The figures are based on the poster art for Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II by the late Noriyoshi Ohrai, which featured a different version of Mechagodzilla and a different color scheme for Godzilla.

The Tamashii Mix Mechagodzilla is fully transformable, allowing fans to pose it as each of the forms seen on the original poster art. A stand is included for displaying the figure in its flight mode. It’s scheduled for release in September and is priced at 17,280 Yen (about $152 USD). The S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla Genuine Poster Edition features an all-new paint scheme. the figure will include interchangeable hands and a special card. also due in September, the figure is priced at 8,640 Yen (about $76 USD).

You can see posters for both figures after the jump.

    This version is so much cooler than the one we got in the actual movie. Absolutely love the look, especially the gun fingers.

    I wonder if there's a reason why he looks so different in the poster. Did Ohrai use early concept art as a reference or did they just let him do his own thing and create whatever design he wanted?

    Looks cool on the (awesome) poster art, but this again screams 'power rangers' to me. Maybe it'll be alright in person? because I really want to dig this.

    Well that answers my question! Also really hope he has a transforming option.

    Yep, Bandai is just damned determined to avoid having to give us Showa monsters any chance they can get.

    The Mechagodzilla is badass, don't know if I want to spend that much on a design which only ever appeared on a poster though.

    I rather wait for their Showa Mechagodzilla, no matter how long it takes.

    I feel the same way, except I'm waiting for them to re-release Kiryu. That one is hands down one of my favorite Godzilla series designs of all time. That being said, this thing looks like it'd be a lot of fun to pose and display.

    Kiryu was my first MonsterArts figure and he's great. I hope you get him one way or another. If they ever dive into Millenium stuff again and maybe make the Godzilla from that movie it would make sense to give Kiryu another spin.

    This Mecha G still totally reeks of Power Rangers - a negative in my book, but I'll bet it'll be totally awesome in hand. Price ain't bad either.

    Had there been much info about the US Bandai webstore? They have the Mothra set up for preorder, I'm wondering if they're cutting blue fin distribution out for niche releases or something? Figuring this would get sold there too.

    Ok that's what I was wondering and was a little confused.

    There's this site, which looks like the US equivalent to the Japanese Bandai Web Shop:

    S.H.MonsterArts MOTHRA（Adult form）& MOTHRA（Larval form） Special Color Ver.｜PREMIUM BANDAI America | Shopping from children to adults can enjoy Bandai official site

    And that's their listing for Mothra. If it's getting blue fin distribution, I wouldn't need to preorder it from them. There's a bunch of fake "Bandai" shops on the internet, but I thought this one was directly linked from them during their NYC World Tour thing.

    That one is the official Bandai US Shop, yeah. From what I understand, only select releases will be sold there. But they never seemed to clarify if it will only be items that Bluefin isn't being offered.

    Ok well I guess that solves that riddle; I can only assume that Mothra set will only be on the Bandai web shop.
