Bandai Limited Movie Monster Series: Zilla (2004) | Figure Review

[@ShinRobjira]

Zilla is still available to pre-order from the US Godzilla Store - godzilla.com/products/godzilla-store-limited-movie-monster-series-godzilla-2004

[@LuisDuran2014]

1000+ Aura points for Bandai for FINALLY making a ZILLA! It’s about time Bandai, just received mine today! & I will say, I can now finally rest.

[@RibailManoo]

@@LuisDuran2014 I am a fan of your toy hunting videos

That opening was a work of art. Truly one of the covers of all time.

[@ShinRobjira]

Thank you, thank you! Poured my heart and soul into that performance!

[@Shattered-Glass_Fan]

​@@ShinRobjira You deserve an Oscar for it.

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

Zilla finally had his revenge

[@Shifterzilla]

I'm so happy that we FINALLY got a figure of this guy

[@BelobogBogatyr]

Shmonsterarts or Hiya Toys NEEDS to make an articulated Zilla.

[@Kanayok]

Fr

[@javivaki]

Even an articulated Bandai action figure Zilla would suffice imo.

[@GojiFanAdrian]

HIYA would cook 🥶

[@marcesteban8694]

You mean the 1998 Godzilla, he’s never referred as Zilla, only Final War does… I assume.

[@bearminthos]

Hiya yes. SH, no. The amount of parts that would fall off and the lack of paint would turn away fans knowing how their figures have been lately.

[@badwalnutt]

so cool seeing most people are loving this figure’s existence, I guess the hate for this guy has finally died down

[@cossegoji2kofficialchannel60]

Seems about right.

[@anthonyboodram608]

I wonder if this figure’s softer sculpted details were intentional, since Zilla’s CGI model in the movie is kinda smooth even compared to other CG used for things in the movie like Kamacuras. The older Bandai ones seemed more modeled off of G98’s design rather than the Final Wars Zilla model, and the Y-MSF seems to have done something similar to the older figures (They are apparently working on a fully accurate version based directly on the CGI model though). We know even modern Bandai can make detailed vinyl sculpts so perhaps they did this on purpose. No excuse for the paint though. Ah well, I’ll still get my hands on this.

[@trickymarigold]

I never thought this would be real. Painted or no I’m over the moon

[@ShinRobjira]

I share the same mindset lol It’s not great, but it’s REAL!

[@trickymarigold]

@@ShinRobjira it was my first goji and I cannot wait to get hands on mine.

[@javivaki]

I'm also glad that MMS Zilla exists but I agree that he's lacking a bit. Hopefully the voices of 98/Zilla fans are heard enough so that Bandai would consider in making more Zilla figures. Perhaps even an original 98 or TAS mold.

[@ShinRobjira]

I’m really hoping more of Godzilla 1998 and Zilla will enter the ranks of Bandai and then some. Would be really nice to see more under repped monsters like him get their turn. As far as TAS goes… Y-MSF does what Bandon’t 👀

[@growlie2676]

​@@ShinRobjiraI will get this guy soon buuuuut, I Do prefer the Y-msf though. What about you?

[@jnada161]

could look really really nice with a custom paintjob

[@93Monstermike]

I plan on getting two of those tuna heads, one to custom paint so it is more screen accurate and the other like Godzilla The Series. Also, what a coincidence that I got Godzilla 2004 (2023 release) at FYE while I was on vacation recently!

[@Shattered-Glass_Fan]

Shinrobjira you legendary man your playing can you feel the sunshine in the background you sneaky boi

[@godzillakong6597]

[@growlie2676]

I think I need a bigger box.

[@SuperGodzilla2]

this is a pretty cool looking figure. cant wait to add him. Zilla might get a lot of hate, but gotta admit he does have a pretty cool design.

[@JH-uh9zc]

This movie holds a special place in my heart and while it will never happen, I still dream of a SHMA or Hiya Zilla.

[@growlie2676]

Hiya should since they listen to us

[@mitchman3006]

So we have Godzilla, Zilla, Gigan, Rodan, Angirus, Hedorah, Manda, Monster X and Keizer Ghidorah in the MMS. All we need is King Caesar, Minilla, Kumonga, Kamacuras and Ebirah.

[@Shattered-Glass_Fan]

Forget the abomination called Minilla

[@MaesterAlex]

Ebirah and a Kamacuras would cure me (kumonga is a close 3rd)

[@RandomGodzillaFan-p6z]

And modified Gigan

[@Shattered-Glass_Fan]

Forget Minilla. I hate that abomination.

[@DaBwownGodziwa]

apparently godzilla fans from japan like to call zilla "maguro-san" which just means tuna i'm gonna call him this from now on

[@DR676767]

Hiya needs to capitalize on this iguana, be so awesome

[@ShinRobjira]

I’m sure they can, all things considered, it’s just a mattress of time 👀

[@Halodark-l6m]

I’ve always loved final wars zilla for some odd reason glad he’s getting recognition

[@chancegivens9390]

I find the full irony of the fact that zilla has the most theropod dinosaur accurate body when he's the only Godzilla incarnation confirmed to be a lizard hilarious!! Well, that and the 54 Godzilla, he was accurate for the time.

[@chava_ranks8126]

LETS GO! Still waiting on mine from Buyee, had a shipping issue that was made on their end.

[@Grievous_2009]

Finally Godzilla 1998 getting the love it deserves

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

Yeah, i preorded mine from the Us Godzilla store. I can't wait for it to show up. I can finally have Zilla in my collection.

[@PB-2K]

Finally, Zilla needs more recognition in making toys

[@2A19VinceChan]

Just gonna ask. If I go to the Godzilla store, what should I pick up?

[@godzilla-rj]

I'm not bummed about the detailing and painting, I'm just glad there's a Bandai MMS Zilla that finally made an appearance😁🦎👌

[@Toddzilla1993]

When will the Zilla figure release from the US Store???

[@christiandenault7606]

It just got delayed until October, as is the MMS Heat Ray Minus One Godzilla.

[@AEsir_Goji]

After finally getting it.... Fine with the sculpt. But man if I ever get good at paint he's getting either a Zilla Jr or Resaurus puppet paint job.

[@zacksreviews2001]

2:52 That is the most Toho story I have ever heard

[@ShinRobjira]

It’s so in character, it hurts. Just for them to allow it to happen anyway in the same year and years later lol

[@zacksreviews2001]

@@ShinRobjira It’s also funny how of all the things the 1998 film did to Godzilla the one thing that made Toho put their foot down was the fifth finger.

Finally! the first review on this figure, btw is this a preorder

[@BladeAllen666]

Ultrazilla reviewed him 1st, actually.

[@The_official_jurassiczilla]

O

[@DaikaijuDiscussions]

Today I JUST learned that the pink teeth are actually accurate to the CGI model, if you look at that closeup in his daytime shots. I wonder why it's like that, maybe since he was already scanned from a previous figure, Toho was all in on cost cutting and thought the teeth were too small to notice. And they were right lol.

[@Pacificgoji94]

I’m just happy he’s in an ACCURATE POSE, none of that upright standing crap

[@goldenbzilla7237]

Hey ShinRobjira and everyone else. Which figure do you think bandai should make next Bandai movie monster series Final Wars King Caesar or Final Wars Ebirah or Modified Gigan?

[@ShinRobjira]

Ebirah. I’m sold.

[@goldenbzilla7237]

Tbh I'd personally have to choose Modified Gigan since bandai has only made the 8" tall Modified Gigan and he's very pricey because I've seen him go for over $100 dollars on eBay. But I'm sure all three will be made eventually

[@godzillakong6597]

Ebirah

[@Shattered-Glass_Fan]

King Caesar

[@Dankaijuandbirdyfan]

I think we need him to do the triple sleeveing for rare figures or exclusives that have alot of detail

gotta say trenmasters '98 still looks great

I wish sh monsterarts or hiya would make a zilla figure! I'd be all over that.

[@andrewsouthworth9730]

[@IamNobody2001]

[@loganlee8844]

It's quite odd that Toho said no to the fifth finger, yet if you look closely at the Gemstone Godzilla design, He has it as well.

[@ShinRobjira]

It’s because Gemstone Goji is Zilla, it all fits.

[@BladeAllen666]

Damn u, Bandai for making me want the monster from a movie I fucking despise with a passion but dammit... this is a good Zilla figure. Can't wait to get him!

I actually really like it, given it reflects the shitty quality of the CGI model used in the film. That being said, I actually think the best representation of Zilla 04 just so happens to be the ORIGINAL X Plus Godzilla 1998, which came in two colors, brown and green, and the green one looked remarkably similar to how Zilla would look in Final Wars. On top of that, its also a very large figure, which is always a plus.
