Tamashii Nations has posted up the official product pages for their first two figures from Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The new listings give us a better look at, and more details for, the S.H. MonsterArts versions of Godzilla and King Ghidorah from the upcoming film. Pre-orders are scheduled to go live on January 9th, 2019 in Japan. Official US release details should follow soon after that.
Godzilla stands about 6.3″ tall. The figure will include an atomic breath effects piece. Tamashii Nations makes special note of the fact that he head can point straight up to achieve the pose seen in the films first poster. Godzilla is scheduled for release in May 2019. IT will be priced at 7,020 Yen (about $64 USD). King Ghidorah stands nearly 10″ tall, with a wingspan that measures over 23.5″ wide. The fully articulated figure will have full range of motion in the three necks and tails. Three Tamashii Stage pieces are included to act as stands for the wings and body. No additional accessories are listed at this time. The figure is scheduled for a June 2019 release at a price of 18,360 Yen (about $166 USD).
We’ll update with info from Bluefin for the US release when those details become available. You can see the new photos by clicking the headline of the story.
Godzilla King of Monsters S.H. Monsterarts Revealed at Tokyo Comic Con - The Toyark - News
Tamashii's Photo / Graphic department is getting to damn good.
Amazing!!
If the final versions are anywhere near as beautiful as these brutes... then my wallet will be dying. Just wow..
That look cool, but I've been burned too many times by MonsterArts to care at this point. The Ghidorah design is outstanding though. I'll see what NECA's versions are going to look like
You know, I think this version of Godzilla will probably die from obesity
Jokes aside, I still love the fat Godzilla design over the older ones or 98 one! Can't wait for the movie!
lol
Old Godzilla wasn't exactly into shape neither haha. Look at those thunder thighs and flab and rolls lol.

I don't mind a chunky Godzilla. Monsters that scale should have some heft to help sell the size.
Assuming this is close to screen accurate (I know, I know) the proportions feel a little better this time out, and I'm glad the fins are closer to the old "Christmas tree" look.
Ghidorah looks amazing.
Very happy they stuck with two horns on Rodan rather than the more modern three.
As for Mothra, that's the monster I was most curious about how they would make her work. Not sure I like the new design, but that may just be the newness. Will need to see her in action.

Really torn on the Legendary figures. they look great- but it's a lot of $$$ for monsters i may not even end up incorporating into my display seeing as how I already have classic Toho versions...
Loose joints that fall apart easily.
Poorly assembled wings.
Bad paint apps.
They're $100 toys with the quality control of a Happy Meal toy.
Bummer.
I'm pretty happy with the Monsterarts ones I have. The spec. color King Ghidorah is one of my favorite pieces by far. I admittedly don't have too many of their Godzilla's, but the '54 is great and the larger Biollante one is really good too other than limited neck movement from the electronics.
I've stayed away from Bandai in hopes of NECA...
100 plus dollars for 6 inches just can't. I want to keep my wealth
Ghidorah's priced about where I expected it to be, Godzilla on the other hand is much cheaper than I anticipated. Here's hoping quality control doesn't fall by the wayside, as it did with Bandai's previous Ameri-Goji and Ghidorah first run figures.
Like yourself I haven't experienced any significant issues with any of my eight Monsterarts figures. I know they exist (especially with the 2014 Godzilla and first run Ghidorah), they just don't seem as common as the internet makes them seem.
My figures have come from BBTS, Nippon Yassan, Amazon and Ebay. Not a single one of my figures have any obviously sloppy paint applications, nor do they have random hairs or fingerprints. My figures are also free of wonky ball joints, stuck joints. A few have minimally skewed eyes but I can live with a defect that requires deliberate effort to notice.
By way of comparison, I own four NECA Shin Godzillas (2 originals, 2 atomic blast). The tail flops about lazily on two of the four. One of the four remains unopened, so who knows if the number is actually 3/4?
Those look amazing.
However, I'm going to wait and see what NECA has to offer.
I'm certain they're going to put their best foot forward and their King Ghidorah will be their most expensive Godzilla figure to date, but I'm sure it won't even be half the price of the MonsterArts offering.

I don't like the high prices so I just wait it out on Amazon for them to get like a 30% discount or something; I'd limit it to like $60ish for a Godzilla size figure. I really want that poster Mechagodzilla they did but a bit too high priced for me like I said.
If NECA's '62 Godzilla is as good as it looks though, I'll wait out a lot of releases to see what they do first too.
So what's so different about the King of Monsters Godzilla compared to the 2014 one?
And...am I the only one who wants them to do a '98 Zilla figure?

You might not be the ONLY one wanting it but it would be a minority opinion since most fans hate that movie and Zilla, but hey who knows maybe one day it'll get a figure anyway.

I like the '98 design as a monster. Not a good Godzilla, but a good design. I'd love Neca to do one.
wow... that ghido looks amazeballs
