North American Release Info for SH MonsterArts Showa Mechagodzilla

under Godzilla Toy News

Bluefin has posted details for the North American release of the upcoming Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) – S.H. MonsterArts Mechagodzilla Figure. In the original film, Mechagodzilla was constructed by the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens, and was disguised as the actual Godzilla. When Mechagodzilla finally faces off with the real Godzilla, it sheds its faux exterior to reveal its true form. The figure will include interchangeable hands, adjustable panels on the figure, a Cross-Attack Beam effects piece and a stand for the effects parts. The figure will stand over 6″ tall and used both plastic and diecast metal pieces. Official details below.

The titanic mechanical foe of the mighty Godzilla, as seen in his debut, the 1974 “Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla,” joins S.H.MonsterArts. Sculpted based off of the actual costume used in shooting the film, this is a definitive portrayal of the iconic character. The chest missile hatch opens and closes, and the neck retracts to take the film’s flying pose! Includes an optional pair of hands, cross attack beam effect, and effect stand.

Available for pre-order now!
Releasing February 2018
$94.99

    Been waiting a long time for this one. Looks pretty great, here's holding out the vain hope for a Godzilla 1974 to go with him.

    Stoked for all my Showa homies who I know are going to appreciate this. Personally I hope it'll maybe lead to a re-release of Kiryu that I've been waiting for so long to see.

    Nice. Let's hope they don't skimp on accessories and include a beam effect. Chances are probably zero but I'd like to see something special with this one regardless.

    It would make sense because then they gave everyone a chance to own all four. Heisei Mechagodzilla got reissued not too long ago, next up is the Poster and Showa after that probably. It would be logical to give Kiryu another spin as well, especially since they show them all off together for the second time now.

    With what they've done with the moths I wouldn't be surprised if they do a "Night Kiryu illuminated by city lights" with darker colors and some extra paint apps considering his big battle against Godzilla happened at night.

    Yeah, I would jump at any chance to finally get a Kiryu at a reasonable price. I just hope that any "special color" edition or whatever looks passably close enough to its normal colors.

    Mothra and Battra don't look too terribly different and previous "Special Color Edition" versions also didn't stray too far from the originals.

    So I'd say if they do it you get something different but not different enough that you can't appreciate it as the suit from that particular movie.

    That looks awesome. Yeah I'm hoping for some effects and accessories as well. If not I'm sure a 'Special Color' Tamashii Web exclusive is coming down the line.

    About time. I'll obviously wait for the Bluefin release though, but this will be a must buy.

    With the way the four MechaGs are positioned, the transforming design really does feel like a missing link between Showa and Heisei.

    Awesome! I've got the ugly chubby MechaGodzilla now- but would love to replace it with the classic version!

    The Godzilla SH figures are around $60 so at least that much, maybe more depending on what all it comes with. Price will also vary depending on where you do the buying.

    Finally! While I'm totally content with their prior gokin release of Showa Mecha G, this'll still be a must for me.

    Just around the 6in mark- some monsters are larger than others depending on that 6in scale (Biolante is MASSIVE)...
