Bandai Limited Movie Monster Series: Biollante (Flower Beast Form) | Figure Review

[@javivaki]

Without putting Super7 down, I think that mms Rose Bio is great in her own accord. She has a nice forest green for her base and those leaves look great in that metallic green . She does just enough to be enjoyable. And also it's cool to see Bio getting more figures as Godzilla vs. Biollante is one of my favorite Godzilla movies.

[@ShinRobjira]

Agreed. They both offer SOMETHING. Rose Form Super7 is giant and articulated with accessories. Rose Form MMS offers a bunch more color and is a pretty good attempt via Bandai, with a pretty great set of movement. ya know. for a stump of vinyl lol .. even if it is a possible blow up of the Rose Form shokugan figure lol Get's the job done!

Honestly, I would've preferred Zilla to win. But she's still a pretty lovely looking figure, and I'll be getting her alongside Titanosaurs in December. Also this figure has a few nice surprises to it so thanks for giving me a heads-up.

[@bullytwist9257]

I wish Zilla won too. I still might get this figure though.

[@kaiju-dr5qn]

Same. Zilla should have won. If only Bandai and toho allow international fans to get to vote rather than just in Japan. It is what it is.

[@bevillanueva]

We need Zilla, the world needs him, maybe one day.

[@DaikaijuDU]

You know, for a rather forgettable kaiju form (compared to others like flying hedorah or aggregate Destoroyah) I think Rose Bio here turned out pretty well, the only real complaint I have for her is some of the detail gets lossed in the sculpt without the added highlights, but besided that, I love her.

[@printer6yo]

Looks great! I tell myself that the smaller size on MMS Biollante (the previous one, and now this) is because '89 Goji was smaller than '91-onwards Heisei Goji (went from ~80 meters tall to 100) but then MMS '84 Goji also towers over these guys, so... scale is out the window with MMS figures.

[@ShinRobjira]

Yeahhh, I don’t think Bandai really takes scale into account with the MMS stuff. I mean… Destoroyah is nearly under 5 inches tall lol WHACKY. I really think when it comes to sizing, it’s just a dart board of 5 - 7 inches tall. With the 7 inch tall option being this tiiiny little strip on the board lol

[@Mrcatcontent]

Let the collector have the figure""

[@ShinRobjira]

I agree

[@onionking6486]

I heard Zilla was originally going to be the winner of the poll but was dropped due to issues of Sony butting in at Bandai/Toho since the version of Zilla they wanted to use was the 1998 version and not the 2004 FW version. Toho does have the rights to the character, but apparently not the 1998 iteration due to that still being owned by Sony (formerly Tristar). You may ask why did Sony decide to take whatever legal action (if it's true) against Bandai but not say YMSF? My belief is Sony doesn't even know YMSF exists due to him being basically a private company with a very limited window whenever he creates stuff unlike Bandai which is a mass market company. Basically like trying to take legal action against say White Castle instead of McDonalds. TDLR, rumor is Zilla was dropped due to petty legal issues for the 98 version which they wanted to do.

[@ShinRobjira]

I’m surprised (if true) Bandai didn’t tell them to piss off lol Xplus did the deforeals, Bandai did the hangers, Cast did 1998 stuff, all very recently, I really wonder, again, if true, why NOW, of all times they’d take action? Makes no sense. But legal stuff rarely does make sense, end of the day.

[@onionking6486]

Couldn't tell you. It's all a rumor and could bare some kind of fruit considering most runner ups usually get added back to the next poll if they didn't win (But also released later anyway the following year). But not Zilla as he was omitted out entirely. My only guess could be either Sony has a problem with Bandai in general, or Bandai could be cheap on not wanting to pay royalties for Godzilla 1998 should they make a Zilla figure based from that movie like they initially intended to. Maybe they don't like the idea of paying not only Toho, Warner Bros for the Legendary Verse, Kong from Universal etc, but also now Sony as well. We may never know and unless Zilla does indeed get released akin to other runner ups like Super Mechagodzilla, Keizer Ghidorah etc by 2025, then the rumor could very well be confirmed as a truthful one. What I can say is and this is actually real is Universal ABSOLUTELY does not want King Kong 1962 to be made into a figure ever again by anyone since they called it "A shameful mockery of the character they regret let happened on the final suit design".

[@jcruz2357]

Does anyone know when the preoders will reopen for these figures again on the godzilla store usa? Or do I have to wait until they come out after December to purchase them.

[@ShinRobjira]

I’ve not yet dealt with the US Godzilla store, but, they might go back into stock once the pre-orders are sent out. Deff worth keeping an eye on!

[@JH-uh9zc]

Gosh I hope we get a SHMA of Rosie....This is my favorite form and I didnt S7 was accurate. Shoot this actually looks better which is sad to say. I love the light green spray on her leaves. If Bandi does do a MA, please leave the light gimmick out.

[@ShinRobjira]

Wouldn’t mind if Rosie got the ball jointed treatment at all, would be nice to see Her get a little more of a ‘lively’ adaptation! No light gimmick needed, yes. They’d already overcharge as it is 😑

[@JH-uh9zc]

@@ShinRobjira Fully agree, I know a lot of ppl like the SHMA Biollante, but she's one of my most frustrated figures. her vines pop off if you look at the too hard, and while I like the neck cover flap, you cant bend her neck left or right and line the flap up. And that light up gimmick is not worth it. Its dim, and the switch is on the bottom, meaning I have to lift the figure popping off several vines in the process....not work it for $300. I bought some little LED tea lights off Amazon and chucked them in her uterus....much easier and looks so much better.

[@astromonster312]

I actually really like the scaling of her, given that she’s 85 meters and I’ll be putting her next to 6 inch SHMA monsters that are supposed to be 100 meters. We just need a 5 inch 84 or 89!

[@unknowndata7745]

I swear whenever someone makes a new or unique version of a character bandai goes "hold my beer I'm stealing your thunder" On a side note, it looks very nice and far better for the most part than... That oil slick super 7 produced

[@user-Sofvi.tp5mg6cf3]

The shape is similar to past mini-battle-G. But the vines and overall balance have improved, giving a good impression. Movie monster is cheaper than Super7 Ultimate. but quality is good!!
