In the movie, Mechagodzilla’s big fight at the end was the first time it was ever outside of its hangar. I don’t think it ever had time to get particularly dirty. Imo my biggest problem with this design is the lack of color variation. Kiryu had black, blue and red accents and it broke up the design much better

[@jrivv2239]

articulation for price point has turned me away from a lot monsterarts, bandai figures in general. I have some die cast figures that are 12 inches and have more articulation than this mecha-godzilla. Given, the figures are third-party companies, but if smaller, third party companies can provide a large figure with extensive articulation, it becomes difficult justifying a 6 inch figure for around the same cost, with limited articulation. I do like this version of mecha-godzilla, one of my favorites, but I cancelled my pre-order awhile back because I didn't think it was worth the price after looking at the articulation. Kong's articulation is pretty good, Godzilla's was alright, but for $60 I couldn't complain. Mecha-godzilla, at more than double just because it is die-cast from Bandai, just didn't seem worth it. Die-cast becomes hardly noticeable after awhile, so at $150, it doesn't really seem worth it to me just for die-cast. It would be cool if some third-party does an articulated mecha-godzilla in the modern style, but is probably unlikely, at least for quite awhile.

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

I was posing my figure one day and it’s tail broke off. So the tail broke and my wallet broke. Classic SHMA.

[@holycow2013]

@@IcyEvolution-m9y so shma tail does use ball joints for the tail but the stick parts connecting the joints are thin so they snap

[@Jmaster-99]

I'm always gonna be convinced Diecast should be used minimally for great effect, mainly so as to prevent breakage, like if those pistons in the hips were all diecast and a small amount here and there were, like all the ball joints in the tail maybe but that is just me. Looks fantastic overall

[@xoruk7451]

Yeah I've been thinking about that too not just mechagodzilla but every figure. Like why not make the central skeleton with all the ball joints and pegs in metal, like aluminum would be good, light too. It would really solve the breakage issues at problematic areas like hips and shoulders.

[@atsylor5549]

@@xoruk7451all the ball joints and pegs in metal would just swap for a new set of problems. Higher prices, loose joints, and pose ability issues. When price point is a major concern companies focus on minimizing short comings not solving them.

[@TOHOREMIX]

Thanks for the review as always. At LEAST they had the courtesy to mention those bloody pistons can be removed which is refreshing from Bandai TN. Lack of red aside, pound for pound this is the best looking MV figure in the line. The most 1:1 compared to the likes of the Ghidorah and company. And with how things are, this will get a SCV a few years down the road. It's ripe for the formula. It won't be much longer til mine arrives (it's in country at the time of typing this) so fingers crossed it's intact. Keep up the good work and glad the fundraiser reached it's goal.

[@friesarefunny9190]

I think it’s funny, I love this figure and have it on preorder, but they added all these hidden rocket details but I feel like they could have made the tail drill thing fold out or at least included a separate piece for it, still overall an awesome figure!

[@fadzilhamid736]

MechaGodzilla is a great figure ☺️ but unfortunately the MechaGodzilla's plates do not have much red paint ☹️. Because of that, it does make this figure is blank ☹️. Not just that, same like 2021 Godzilla figure, MechaGodzilla also do not have a red atomic breath to make a cool diorama ☹️. So for my opinion, this figure made me waste my money because this figure have limited accessories and lack of paint job 😡, so i prefer to not buy this figure for the good reason 😔. Overall, i still enjoy watch this video, Steven 😄. Happy New Year from Malaysia 🇲🇾, Steven 😊!

Kiryu had the same issue with breakable pieces on the thighs. The price is ridiculous, but the figure itself is excellent sculpt wise.

In my opinion that paint makes it look like it be one of those low budget toys you see at stores. It makes it look plain if they add a bit more red then it would look good. And more accessories because of the price. other than that it still seems like a good figure.

[@Predatorwarrior18]

I ordered mine from Sideshow. He came with two of the hip piston ball joints broken off. So they sent me a replacement and when I got that one, he had one broken hip piston ball joint. I have a third replacement on the way from them but if it arrives broken, I might just forget about this figure and wait and pray for an upgraded special color version. One that hopefully has sturdier and more flexible pistons, and a beam affect, though I’m not holding my breath on the latter.

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

I feel they could have fixed the piston issue (at the potential cost of lost posablity) by also making them di cast (not sure about the ball jointed parts they plug into)
