Hey Rob just be careful this bugs are dangerous they may bite

[@RulyOfficial2.0]

Did anyone else notice that Orga and Megaguirus have similar features and it's because they both have part of Godzilla's DNA, And where it is most noticeable is the tail because Megaguirus and Orga have very similar tails, I love this Detail

[@christiandenault7606]

Love your Joker impression at 5:15 😂

[@abranca38]

8:04 I understood that reference.

[@michaelshade1702]

BUT JOBBY!

[@kinsersprint11]

Who would win in a fight? Adult Battra or Megagurius?

[@DaikaijuDiscussions]

How did I miss these being announced?! Great, now I need to find more shelf space

[@ShinRobjira]

I dunno how ya missed it, but, all that matters now is that you know! Ya just gotta go out and get em, fill the crammed shelves!!

[@DaikaijuDiscussions]

@@ShinRobjira Thankfully ShowcaseDaikaiju had my back, now I just gotta find that rerelease Space Godzilla for a descent price

[@93Monstermike]

Ooh definitely hoping to get these for Christmas. And even if there are parts missing paint, I will paint 'em myself.

[@ShinRobjira]

BUUGS for CHRISTMAS = perfection!

[@javivaki]

The edge on these bugs. While both are nicely scuplted, it sucks that paint was skipped on one of them. That really is keeping it from being a great figure. Hope this get resolved in the future. For now, I'm just glad that more kaiju are getting new figures.

[@ShinRobjira]

Yeah that's the endgame here, the poorly repped Kaiju are getting their time to shine! I just wish Bandai would let them shine a bit brighter with some more love and attention... yeah they're $15 to $20 figures, but there's just some things that need to be done!

[@user-Sofvi.tp5mg6cf3]

I bought both.Details is both very good.Megaguirus metallic paint so cool. Who will be the next godzilla monster?

[@ShinRobjira]

Yessir! That Megaguirus and her paint job are fantastic!! I'm personally hoping for someone like Gabara, or Ebirah, even Minilla to some extent! need more of those harder to find monsters in the MMS!

[@mechakongzilla6954]

Liking both of these, personally I'm just happy we got both a new battra and megaguirus without it being too expensive even with their flaws. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on them soon! (By the way, I wonder when bandai will make a new orga?)

[@ShinRobjira]

Indeed, at the end of the day I'm happy both were released despite my bickering lol As for Orga, who knows. He was part of the Toho Kaiju Series so I don't think they'd really need to do much with him.

[@XRay44]

It may be considered sacrilege to alter the original figure in any way, but I would love to see what this Battra would look like with the under side touched up with a yellow Posca paint pen.

[@ShinRobjira]

Nahhhh, no sacrilege here lol I've seen more than a few people turn their MMS figures into X Plus level masterpieces! Anyone who says otherwise is a dummy. DO YO STUFFFF

[@chancegivens9390]

Sacrilege my monkey ass is willing to commit!!

[@Pokehon]

I just bought them and Megalon from HLJ! Talk about needing to catch up was hoping they would make it to Amazon but yeah never did for Jet or Megs.

[@ShinRobjira]

Amazon and MMS releases seems to be.. really dodgey these days. The last ones I remember seeing go up were Ultima and Short Jet Jaguar SP. really weird how it was so quick for a while and then *boop* barely anything! Get on your good game, Amazon!

[@Pokehon]

@@ShinRobjira IKR I enjoy that sweet prime shipping beats that 25 plus dollars to ship to the US. I still need Jet and Hedorah to get what I want ATM.

[@monsterhunter5403]

My only Battra figure is the old Trend masters from the early 90s, so...this is now on my list. The Megaguirus is fantastic.

[@ShinRobjira]

Man, those Battra figures from TM are awesome.. in a perfect world Bandai would just do wild repaints of their figures with those paint apps. Glad fans can finally get a vinyl Battra for not big price tag!

[@raohtheken-oh8709]

I bought this Battra action figure on Ebay a few days ago. I can't wait for it to arrive (although I will have to wait a long time, I'm Italian and the seller was a resident of Japan). I love Battra, it's my favorite kaiju, and this action figure is really very well done.

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

Seeing Battra vs Megaguirus is simply spectacular!

[@ShinRobjira]

Megaguirus is totally winning

[@godzillakingofthemonsters8414]

[@dankberry1952]

Amazing review you always out do yourself fr. I own the two pack one I forget the name of it but it's the older mold you have but the movie colors and I'd say the new one is almost just as good, because the two pack one is almost godly in terms of paint but the new one isn't ass expensive to get now, so this is a massive w for megagiruis fans , the movie get trashed but I love it alot lol

[@diamondsapphire]

Hey ShinRobjira what do you think of the sh monsterarts adult version?

[@ShinRobjira]

It's pretty cool! wouldn't mind seeing a reissue at some point!

[@Ollimus]

Great review man, Battra is nice but definitely far weaker (the cringe paint on the underside of the wings) *but screw it!* I'm happy to buy him since he's a brand new monster for my collection. And I'm hoping for that larval form too. Megaguirus is a great figure with that gorgeous metallic/copper paint, while sure my bias will still prefer the Cinema Exclusive Megaguirus I currently own, but I definitely agree that this is the new definitive Megaguirus figure.

[@ShinRobjira]

Thanks, fam! Both have their strong points, It's just more so the Megaguirus show than Battra lol But like ya said, It's still a new release! And IT's worthy of picking up solely for the fact that the original/last release was 30 years ago. FAR TOO LONG AGO.

[@katyvern9116]

Idc if the battra suffers from lazy paint job on the underside of the wings, the wings aren't fragile like the '92 version of the figure. So I'm getting it. I got a Megaguirus already so I'll pass on Megaguirus but hey at least my freind will get a cheap Megaguirus.

[@logunplatt3655]

15:36 If you don't mind me asking, whats the name of that Battra Larve figure, and where can I get one!?!?

[@ShinRobjira]

okay, so, that Battra is actually from a set Bandai put out in the early 90's called The Three Giant Monsters Battle Set. It came with that Battra, a Mothra Larva, Godzilla, and a building. It's a pain in the butt to find complete, but it's actually easier to find the figures separately lol

[@logunplatt3655]

@@ShinRobjira hey thank you so much!

[@IMZEGH0ST]

Hey Rob have you seen the bandai gold hedorah. Why does hedorah get so much love to the point that he gets like 4 repaints!

[@ShinRobjira]

I have! And ironically enough, that’s Monday’s video lol I’m sure the gold and the pink variants were planned way in advance during Hedorah’s anniversary last year. I’m hoping that’s the same case with Gigan throughout next year!

[@IMZEGH0ST]

Since the space chickens birthday passed I still don't see why they can make solid repaints or like a showa sh monsterarts for him my boi deserves it.

[@lil-chris2760]

Even though I have the regular toho kajiu series Megagurius I need both the battra and Megagurius

[@ShinRobjira]

Megaguirus is very much worth the double! Hell, Battra too. Despite It's flaws, It's still the first vinyl Imago Battra since 1992, worthy purchase based on that alone!

[@dylanringproductions160]

I am definitely a cheapskate but man I wish these were a tiny bit cheaper

[@kaiju-dr5qn]

When you said about the Mothra figure that was supposed to be 1992 (according to Bandai) which is not I do agree with you. It just shows that Bandai are getting lazier with some of their figures. Really need to step up Bandai.

[@ShinRobjira]

Oh yeah, the laze is extravagant. Like, c’mon Bandai. 2004 wasn’t THAT long ago. And with the likes of Wikizilla.. we know when you’re acting diminky. Hopefully that’s something that’s fixed with Mothra’s Anniversary which will HOPEFULLY be celebrated with some new new!

[@kaiju-dr5qn]

@@ShinRobjira Really!!!! I am looking forward to see how they will do Mothra again. Rather a step in a right direction....or.....like the usual....lack paint tradition.🤔. Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts on these figures sir. Keep up and excellent work.

[@XRay44]

When I pre-ordered these, I thought about buying some clear figure stands to use for displaying them but wasn’t sure which to get. Which are the ones you are using, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@ShinRobjira]

TAMASHII NATIONS Bandai Stage Act. 5 for Mechanics Stand Support (Clear), Multi (BAS56788) a.co/d/9jG2kkn I’ve been using these for all my videos, they’re rather sturdy even though I haven’t been all too kind to them lol Very much recommended because of the ratchet joint at the base, keeps them arial poses or flying monsters up there nice and strong!

[@XRay44]

Thanks! Will be ordering a couple of sets for sure! 🎉

[@retiredandfishing]

MMS Battra was okay👍 (My only complain also is the under side of the wings) MMS Megaguirus though is..... Perfection!😎👌

[@ShinRobjira]

yeah, Megaguirus was the standout with this wave! honestly, all Battra needed was that yellow outline on the underside. didn't need to paint it all. JUST THAT. Would've been perfect!

[@Godzilla5675]

I got the megaguirus and battra figure and it is exspensive it's 30 dollars due to paint
