Anguirus Is Expensive

They literally made Godzilla 2000 out of nowhere, even GMK, Mecha King Ghidorah, I would say don't be surprised if an anguirus randomly appears announced in the next couple 2 years

[@vortecmacs]

@@mariodelgadogtthey haven’t even touched Showa yet, and there was a rumor a while back that Toho wouldn’t let them do Showa.

[@mariodelgadogt]

@vortecmacs you sound desperate, around 5 months ago they didn't had Heisei, or Millennium, only Monsterverse. Now they have a bunch of upcoming Heisei, Millennium figures, and Monsterverse too. Hopefully Showa will join the list too, perhaps in 1 year.

"Wait for the Hiya" has become sort of like a mantra for me regarding monsterarts these days.

Can get almost 3 hiya Godzillas for the price of that 😂

[@vortecmacs]

[@KouNasubi]

Hiya's gonna show off a banger prototype to compete with this Anguirus, then they'll say it'll release in 2026 - but in actuality it releases in 2040

I'm really glad that Super7 is so transparent about this stuff because it really helps understand industry pricing.

[@ParrotsAccount]

Super7 is so overhated

[@Chunkydedede]

@@ParrotsAccountits just very pricey for what it is

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I’m firmly in the camp of “this seems too expensive but I’m buying it anyway,” which is kinda where I stand across the board with MonsterArts these days. By and large, I love them, and give myself the justification like “hey, you only need to buy it once”

[@ParrotsAccount]

As long as you dont buy a million all at once you should be ok

[@GuiltlessGear]

Ha. oh man. I am NOT paying that.

[@andagi1920]

The Super7 team are an amazing resource for understanding the market. Super thankful for your efforts to offer them and other community members a platform for sharing their insights, KC! I think these reactions represent how many are feeling priced out of the line at this point. I myself will probably just stick with my Revoltech despite this looking appetizing.

[@kaijucanuck4492]

Thank you for the kind words! New convo with Brian is coming soon

[@Arghust]

$150 is baffling. I would only pay about $70 at most for it.

at this point, I've stopped buying sh monsterarts figures after I got my mizutsune figure that I can barely pose without it falling apart half the time.

[@ORLY911]

Yeah for the price increase from their older figures youd expect them to make better quality joints, but theyve gotten worse tbh. Ive thought about getting Zinogre but I know i just dont like how MA figures feel.

[@ParrotsAccount]

​@@ORLY911getting worse is kinda false. Id say its gotten better, my evolved copy can bend his tail to his neck without popping off

[@KaijuKitty]

@@DragoLeotaurn Either they fall apart or faulty design and poor qc prevents getting the full range of articulation as promised. I couldn't get the full range of shoulder articulation on my Monsterverse Godzilla figures.

[@kos2919]

An expensive figure for a monster that's pretty much just a guy crawling on all four is hilarious

[@UltiverseProductions]

I remember back in the day when I could buy monsterarts from stores for around $60, and there’s no way this is worth the price it is. Should be half that price to be even close to worth it

[@courageourfrights]

This is definitely typical Monsterarts behavior at this point

[@gojirasaurus]

I'm a bit surprised some are buying extras for repaints when a "Special Color Version" (1968, probably) will likely come. I'm getting him though, come hell or high water.

[@kaijucanuck4492]

Oh yeah, check the community post I made yesterday. One person in there claiming to buy 2, and one other I know personally that's buying 3.

[@uxebob]

I always complain about the prices but then i get the figure unless if it is $250+

[@HarryPNass7]

If only Legendary's Monsterverse could afford the rights to Anguirus so a price like this can be justified. A new Anguirus design would be worth the money

[@kaijucanuck4492]

Would be really cool, huh?

[@seangentry2943]

Hiya can’t start doing Showa monsters soon enough. These prices are embarrassing.

[@Ezilla82]

Anguirus is a maybe, but if not I can wait for a version of him I do like.

[@ThatsMildlyAdequate]

Man it's rought out here for you monsterarts collectors. Good luck

[@blacksoldier430]

I don't know what to do, I love anguirus and most likely this would be the only option for a long time but man, 150?

[@vortecmacs]

Already on preorder for import.

[@kaijuconnoisseur841]

A lot of people will want Anguirus, but the crazy thing is the price will make those people hesitate smh. Meaning LESS units sold! Good job! Nice way to capitalize smh

[@theharbinger00]

As much as it hurts we don't have another option so this may or may not be our one shot. I'm getting two and having one repainted as the trendmasters version with that purple and black color

[@stopmotionanimations5106]

I mean we do but it costs like 500 dollars

[@SlaShWiFiBattles]

There hasnt been a good Angy since the revoltech. I dont think there will be another release for a long time. Im still picking this up, unless Hiya pulls a sneaky and releases their improbable version

[@saintbutters3684]

Canuck I remember paying the same price for the x plus daimond 68 Anguirus and I always figured since I can’t really display it I’d wait till there was like an articulated Anguirus and trade the x plus for it but I’m not sure if that’s a greeeat idea..(I also prefer the 68 suit)

[@Noble_Duck828]

Whoooooooo Anguirus!!!

[@bocasascosas7167]

I'm in. It's one of the most beloved kaijus and I dont have it in my collection.

[@Arsenoraptor1999071663937]

I'm glad I've stopped collecting figures right now, so I'm not bothered by the price nor the paint or whatever is gonna come

[@TheMantaBluRay]

The price ain't the best that's for sure. But at this point you either still buy S.H. Monsterarts figures or you don't. I'm definitely getting it because I do buy these figures (at least on the Toho side) and Anguirus WILL fill in the collection perfectly.

[@brocklee9202]

Honestly, I truly just want them to finish the Mezco 5 Points XL line. Having all of the Showa Era kaiju would be cool, but I really want a Titanosaurus and Ebirah. Does anyone know if they're continuing that line? I haven't heard anything in like a year

[@Keizer0724]

Even if this figure could turn into a ball (which it doesn’t), it still doesn’t justify the price. But I’m still gonna try to get it anyways.

[@NuclearGoji0611]

It's not worth it

[@Choom89]

This might be the end of me and SH Monsterarts... I've been waiting for Kaiju like Gigan and Anguirus for almost 10 years, to finally recieve them but at constantly rising prices--STILL no effect pieces or buildings... This one hurts.

[@ParrotsAccount]

That doesn't really make sense because you never know, if any other more kaiju release And you somehow like them and for once they lower the price, will you still not get them because it was apparently the end right here?

[@Choom89]

​​​​​​​​@@ParrotsAccount I don't know, the list of unreleased Kaiju is growing small. I haven't bought many Monsterarts recently because they've been mostly repaints and Monsterverse, Gigan and Anguirus finally get their turn but Gigan was 130$ and Anguirus (a highly featured character who is small in size) is 150$? It's a lot of money to ask fans who have supported the brand for over a decade, those long time fans should be rewarded rather than gouged IMO. TLDR: I might just cave on Anguirus then call it quits or just turn my back now and enjoy what I have. They could at least throw in some Bandai Effect Sets when prices are this high.

[@JohnDoe-zx1ck]

Happy to see it, but ive had my revoltech forever now. I think I'll skip this too. Cost is too high to justify shelf space. Id probably buy it if i didnt have the rev though.

[@dennisjaime1801]

I might pick it up but im kind of pissed at the moment due to My jet Jaguar having a messed up leg and I cant refund it.

[@okamiarmaggeden6420]

Like every other SHMA figure I've gotten, I'll get it when it's on sale or secondhand. The only recent figures I've seen that have sold out extremely fast were spacegodzilla and minus one, so I'm not sure how popular anguirus will be compared to them.

[@ParrotsAccount]

I think it. 'll end up like evolved Godzilla, where it was super hyped and ended up still being for sale months later.

[@brandonandcharlene9527]

I'm not a collector of SH Monsterarts, but this toy looks amazing. But.... isn't the Anguirus suit used in Gvs Gigan in 1972 the same suit from DAM in 1968? Maybe just a little more beat up?

[@tyrant8093]

I think if someone waited so long for this and also cant afford it without damaging their wallet could just wait few more years for most likely hiya to make their own or any other company

[@craigjkb]

I will purchase this if it's on a site that doesn't ask for payment straight away. Cuz I'm going to have to do a lot of overtime. Most of all where the heck is Megalon s.h monsterart figure 🤔.

Sorry, I’m not made out of money. I like Godzilla, but my kid LOVES Godzilla. I’m not spending that much on my kid who’s 8… a hundred plus $$ Anguirus… this price tag says to me. Milk the older existing fans, screw the new gen of fans.

I love defending Monsterarts. They make stuff I’ll mostly buy. But wow. Anguirus was my second most anticipated sh figure and it looks great. But that price… How do they justify Angy, something around the size of the Vs Gigan Goji, be the same cost of things like Shin, Ultima, Minus, or even Evolved?????

[@ParrotsAccount]

Facts. I always defend shma but this is too much

[@lautaroasis60]

I wanted it but i just cant gamble so much. Last time i gambled 130 for their Gigan I lost. 130eur to the trash. I cant do it again just because they want to make it a web exclusive. You said it yourself, this is going to sell. Its been YEARS of people BEGGING for this. I understand the Super7 guy is explaining their experience, but they also dont do hinged jaws. Im just saying: that might not be that much of a problem for SH as it was for super7. I just don't trust SH cos they overprice random releases for no reason, so I can believe you, but also I have reasons to just dont trust the multimillion dollar company. If its as good as 72G i might just save money and deal with it, but we all know I would be paying more than I should, we all are.

Hinged jaw was an aesthetic choice, not because they don't know how to do it
