"Available to Ship Now!" "This item is limited to 20 per person." --- WT actual F is that?!! Is HLJ catering to the scalpers? Should read: "This item limited to 2 per person.

[@ShinRobjira]

@@denniskristos3800 HLJ also sell to other import sites, stores and then some. they're not just selling to collectors directly. while yes, that does leave figures open to being scalped, It's a double edged sword as i'm sure sites like Showcase Daikaiju and then some use HLJ, if they're not in direct contact with bandai.

[@Astro-Monster]

Repeating it here as I said it during the live stream- yes, The Incomplete Struggle was the Japanese title and was a direct reference to the movie's cliffhanger ending.

[@ShinRobjira]

Ya learn something new everyday! Now it fully makes sense, but it also bums me out, we’ll like never see a release of Shinpei Hiyashia’s Gamera 4 & Kadokawa is taking their sweet time in announcing/planning a future Gamera film.. I’m so very indeed of new Turtle!!

[@Astro-Monster]

@@ShinRobjira Tell me about it, with all the amazing supplementary material they were able to include on the Arrow Gamera boxset, I was shocked when I learned Gamera 4 would not be apart of it. With the Kaiju Renaissance going strong, nows as good time as any to announce a new Gamera movie, especially seeing Daimajin making a big return in the upcoming Yokai War movie.

[@ShinRobjira]

Daimajin needs a FULL ON comeback too, Still gotta sit down with the new Yokai War (ARROW PLS!) But as someone who just experienced the Daimajin Trilogy for the first time THIS YEAR... i need more. so much more. And Gamera neeeeeeeds to be part of this resurgence. Absolutely. Ultraman. Godzilla. Kamen Rider.. cmon maaaannnnn. Gamera HAS to come back! It feels like Kadokawa have been testing the waters this and last year.. and the numbers don;t lie. WE NEED GAMERA.

[@dragonman1009]

Beautiful figures, cant wait to get mine. They’ll look great next to my other iris and gamera vinyls

[@ShinRobjira]

I will say, even though this Iris is the definitive vinyl rep of the Demon Noodle Kaiju… I do kinda wanna nab the OG, for the sake of comparison and then some!

[@Barugon88]

Hey Rob!! Another great review after work! Just gotta say everything you said about articulation is totally justified lol, I also have the fire fist/ theatre exclusive Gamera and after seeing the articulation on the new I’m note sure if I want it or would rather another of the original mold, I also have the original Bandai Iris and was gonna sleep on the new one but after seeing that orb in the head I really don’t know 😬, anyway thanks again for the great content very proud now to be a ShinRobjira patron! Also thank you so much for the shout out! (P.s. I am Rodanfan154 😁)

[@ShinRobjira]

Aye, glad ya enjoyed it fam! Thank you again for the gracious Patronage, truly! As for the figures, Gamera wise, I'm kinda flip flopping on getting an OG 1999 G myself, even if it is just the Theater Exclusive with alternate paint! Iris though... articulation aside the differing factors between new and old are WILD.. wild enough to make me want an OG Iris lmao Such a weird little thing! Whatever ya decide on, I'm sure It'll be worth it in the long run! Totally understand skipping and saving.. especially with 2022 looking another action stuffed year!

[@lizardrj7826]

Nice Review of New Bandai MMS Gamera and Iris👌 (Beside the lack of the moveablity) Also a little funny Gamera looking wonky looking at the face forward😆

[@stevekt]

Good review. The lack of articulation does not bother me too much but I can see how some might be a bit upset. I am looking forward to acquiring these two.

[@ShinRobjira]

Glad ya enjoyed, fam! Articulated to the gills or not, at least they’re both amazing looking!

[@josephdanay7984]

An automatic like just for the figures🤘🏼💯🔥

[@kobabim9903]

Hello, sorry for my poor English, but the articulation of the "sofvi" figures are actually a by-product, and it's also a trade off between appearance and action. Sofvis are made by pulling out the figure from the die. This is a cheap method, and also it has no burrs on the side because it's not made like a sandwich. But, in order to make a branch that grows opposite direction from the injection, you need to separate the figure or else the branch will get caught inside the die. That's the main reason these sofvis have articulations. It's good if it happens in a joint like the arms and legs, but in other places and occasions, it will be glued on to prevent the parts to fall off. G3 Gamera's neck and arms are not round so it's a choice between making it in the actual form or making it round and movable.

[@katagon]

I've got a local place that stocks Bandai's movie monster series that I go to every once in a while when I've got some money to spare. I went there today to try and find some of the figures for Gamera Rebirth and was shocked, to say the least, when I found Iris instead. This figure blew me away to the point where I don't even mind the lack of articulated tentacles. Honestly, I'm just kinda happy with the arm articulation. Yeah, like you said, it's kind of a pain to position them, but you can get some unique poses compared to other movie monster series figures. And, yeah, the head sculpt is absolutely amazing! So freaky! So glad I have something to put next to my original Gamera 1999 figure!

[@myleshancock9164]

Lovely review my man. Yeh the lack of articulation is annoying but good lord did they sculpt these two beauties very well 🤩 I only got room on da shelf for G3 so I got him, my fav Gamera of all time. Thank you Bandai for getting the face right on this one after that SHAM debacle.

[@ShinRobjira]

Glad ya enjoyed it, my dude! Annoying to an extent, but the more I look at these two the more I begin to care less! Whenever ya clear up some space, Deff nab the demon pool noodle when ya can! I. Cant. Stop. Looking. At. It. After the premiere ended I looked further into 99 Gamera from Sham, as it’s been a while and…… wow. That was uh… a real blunder. Murder, some would say. Wild. They seem to be on the up and up, hopefully their hot streak will continue!

[@myleshancock9164]

@@ShinRobjira Hehe thanks bro. Yeah man...when they released that gorgeously accurate Gamera 1996 I was like shit if they release ma fav Gee nine nine(!) it's gonna be oh so fierce and pretty. Then they released that sad inaccurate literal SHAM of a figure. Bro...I didn't buy a single monsterarts until freaking G21 after that shitshow. Oh yeah, I was pissed lol. So I'm happy as a clam to have a much more accurate MMS Turtle boi on the way. He gonna chill beside my all-time fav Godzilla which is G89. Now that one SHMA did well, thank the maker. I did pretty up his mouth though with my paints, and I did it pretty damn perfectly if I do say so myself ☺

Little Note this is the Same Comment i wrote under the Patreon Cut ya posted^^ HELL TO THA YES! They Look amazing! Agree With ya on the Articulation tho...thats.....odd.... And i am actually surprised how SHFA Trigger is smaller than both of them👀 And seeing you Do the Retakes is really fun to watch^^ Gamera 99 is definitley my Favourite Design from him and i am actually kinda sad that He didn't get a New Movie yet (Shin Gamera when) Also i noticed you shaved👀 i don't know why but i noticed it right away xDDDD And i bet ya watched the New Trigger Episode right? i really wanna hear your thoughts👀 Lookin Forward to the Trigger Review!🔥

Glad ya dig the outtakes, my guy! I mess up a lot, i just kinda wish they were funnier or something more memorable or something lol Yeah.....the wait for Number 1 turtle presses on.. hopefully Kadokawa are in the processes of planning more for him, beyond merch! I'm soooooo behind on Trigger.. I've got set aside time to watch all the ones I've missed, at some point!

[@SuperSonicAnguirus]

The lack of articulation is a bit of a bummer, however I really like everything else with these figures so I’ll still be getting them. I don’t really articulate them and they mostly just sit there on my shelf haha

[@SuperSonicAnguirus]

I remember the original Bandai Iris could articulate the tentacles, I don’t own it but I’ve seen reviews of it and they did articulate.

[@Godzilla5675]

I think iris and anguirus 1955 are the absolute best figures in the entire line they are x plus downscale

[@arimantacollection]

Nice detail for both especialy Iris a bit disapointed on articulation My favourite in Gamera line is Legion She's the strongest rival in the trilogy

[@ShinRobjira]

yeah, Queen Legion is a beast! Hoping for a Soldier Legion at some point, would be a good release window for a hope 96 Gamera!

[@trexboy269]

Can you do a review of the original gamera 1999

[@atomicninjazyuranger5418]

I never really liked Iris, he kinda looks like random pieces combined with tentacles. Just over all looks lame to me. Now Viras on the other hand is cool, the squid looking kaiju from the Showa Gamera era. HELL WE DON'T NEED GAMERA 3 REVENGE OF IRIS!, We need Gamera 3 Revenge Of Viras 😎. The Gamera 1999 figure looks good, (much better looking that the actual Gamera 1999 suit) Overall nice review Rob!

[@ShinRobjira]

Glad ya enjoyed my guy! Iris is… interesting to say least lol but when it comes to Viras…. Lord I’m so very much hoping Bandai does all of Gamera’s Showa Era likenesses and villains, IM DYING FOR MORE GAMERA!! Viras as well 👀 Wild squid alien boi.

[@spooderman24YT]

The detail and painting is fucking insane but the lack of arm artication in gamera just reslly disappoints me, as I also like buy mmovie monster series figures for their play value and the lack of arm articulation just fucking blows

[@BzFlix]

GOD DAMMIT BANDAI, you paint gojis tail but you can’t paint the turtles claws?!, I thought you changed

[@Barytyrannus]

My main thing is that everyone who has ever bought a bandai figure in the history of forever has gotten it, played with the articulation once or twice, and put it on the shelf in the default pose, MAYBE with the arms in a slightly different position. Im at a point where if Bandai just stopped doing articulation I wouldn't care very much.

[@ShinRobjira]

Not wrong in any sense, as I’m sure most people have done just that lol But, idk, I’d be kinda bummed if they stopped articulation all together, I always try to skim over the Bandai Vinyl collection and at least change em up, pose wise, as much as I can. Even if it’s an insignificant change like, arms, or the legs to further lean them back or forward, I like muh vinyl swivels.

[@kingkurok3149]

I only just realized, that Bandai skipped the 1996 version aka the Gamera 2 suit, aka my favorite suit in the heisei trilogy WTF Bandai, where is he I know this may seem dumb to be mad about, but imagine if Bandai skipped your favorite incarnation of Godzilla, that's how I feel right now

[@ShinRobjira]

nah fam, it aint dumb, Myself and MANY of the G'96 fans are bummed! '96 Gamera is peak giant Turtle design x44,000!! Hopefully, sometime this year... maybe alongside a Legion Drone figure. That'd be great!

[@kingkurok3149]

@@ShinRobjira yus G'96 is peak Gamera, and on another note, why no flying modes, that's just unforgivable, one of the big things about Gamera is his ability to fly, and yet nothing, like if their gonna give us a Gamera 99 with no articulation then make it the flying version I'm so upset over this

[@BladeAllen666]

Glad I'm not the only 1 who prefers 1996 Gamera over 1999. 1999's fine but the hands, stupid mohawk & flying form really bothers me though.
