[OLD] What's happening to the S.H.MonsterArts Line? Part 2

[@nailuj2979]

SHMA: degrades in quality NECA: increases quality SHMA: surprised Pikachu face

[@dafuqman]

Nailuj29 Yes, that is something I noticed. I’m conflicted between SHMA Godzilla 2019, or NECA 2019 Atomic Breath Godzilla. Which one would you recommend?

[@nailuj2979]

@@dafuqman well the neca atomic breath hasn't come out yet so we will not know if anything is wrong with it but the shma is good. Eyes are inconsistent. Mine are fine but I have seen really shitty ones and the atomic breath is like the necas because it plugs in to the mouth without a stand but the way it plugs in is problematic. The atomic breath piece plugs into a spare jaw but the effect piece is heavy so it wears down the alt jaw's ball joint but besides that is has pretty good articulation and is one of my favorite shma figures. But if you are on a budget the neca looks good so far but so did the base figure and we all know how that turned out

Yes, they were derped in the film. But in the film they were still symmetrical. But on the SHMA they're asymmetrical. So no I don't like the derp eyes on the figure.

[@andrewtaylor940]

Not defending Bandai, yeah the more recent SHMA's have been declining badly in quality. But I wanted to throw out there a few things, just to give a better understanding of how some things work, and how some comparisons are often Apples and Oranges. - Cost - Does not really relate to size. Other than grams of plastic. The bigger driver of costs is the complexity of the tooling necessary for the figure. How many separate pieces does it need? How many are 2 plastic composite pieces requiring complicated molding? How many require 3, 4 or 5 part molds to form instead of the more traditional 2 part? SM mentions the 2014 Spitfire vs the original 2014 as a question of why costs went up. The main torso is dual molded in 2 colors of plastic. That's more complex (and much much slower in production.) King Ghidorah is not expensive simply based on size, but also on number of parts. There are exceptions to this where they will up the price based on volume, such as Destroyah, but generally the price begins based on the production budget and needs. The only way that size directly impacts price is actually in terms of shelf footprint. Warehouse and retail pricing in part calculates out based on how many products you can fit in per square foot of shelving. Bigger products take up more room, hence cost more. Smaller products that take up less real estate will often bring higher margin. This is buffered with the desire to be noticeable on the shelf. But if a store can only stock 2 King Ghidorah's in a space that they can stock 5 Burning G's. Well they still want the same return on that space, so each will be priced accordingly. - Comparing to X-Plus - See above. Here's the dirty dirty secret. X-Plus is actually the insanely overpriced product. Almost criminally so. They are incredibly simple tooling. Just nice detailed tooling for vinyl (a much lower pressure, lower temperature plastic from the ABS used in the SHMA's.) . X-Plus's tooling likely costs a fraction of what Bandai's SHMA does. The big vinyl's are pure profit. This allows them to cycle their molds a lot less, as they can recoup their investment on far fewer pieces produced. Why does Bandai do so many repaints? Because they have to pay for the tooling. And the margins on an SHMA are a fraction of what they are on an X-Plus. If you wonder why Bandai talks about making SHMA Zero type figures? This is why. The articulated figures have a much lower margin due to the complexity of production. Similarly NECA has lower production costs because their figures are made mainly of Vinyl and recycled chewing gum. They largely avoid the more expensive to work with ABS (that provides sturdiness and durability). Vinyl is cheaper and easier to work with and does not require as expensive or as precise tooling. It has much lower tolerances. - The most expensive and most finite resource is factory time.Actual production time on a factory floor is carefully rationed and constantly assessed to bring its maximum return. Even if a line is profitable it may not be as profitable as another line, which might be considered better use of that finite factory time. SM compares recent SHMA's tp recent SHFA's, and therein lies the secret. SHFA are less complex, sell better and bring a higher margin than the SHMA's. Hence they get better factory priority. Or rather they began to displace the SHMA's at the upper tier factories. Around 2014 SHMA shifted to a different more cost effective factory. Note that that is when the QC seemingly took a noticeable dump. It's a thorny problem. We want SHMA's, but Bandai needs margins on them. And outside of years when there is a North American Godzilla movie release, they don't get the same returns that they do from the SHMA's. Once again, not defending Bandai or SHMA. Just talking about how things actually work, and what you need to look at to make fair comparisons. Here endeth the lesson.

[@Super_Mariozilla]

Some of that was actually stuff I never knew. Thanks for the info!

[@my2randomcents]

andrew taylor actually if you clean up Shin with a little acetone the figure is molded in red, not two tones

[@andrewtaylor940]

MY 2 CENTS I think for two color molding I meant the 2014 Spitfire, which is a mix of trans or silvered blue and normal black/dark green. They. Hanged the spine color for the re-release.

[@larockyoursockoff420]

Andrew Taylor well to be fair to x plus, they do buy the rights to sculpts and need to pay their sculptors acceptable wages. If i was a sculptor and wasn't making good money I'd sell my sculpts myself and cut out x plus. Thus they need to actually pay them decent wages in order to reduce employee turnover. Not to mention painters and when they buy sculpt rights from elite sculptors like yuji sakai. Which is probably why the price of sh monster arts figures have gone up, not sure I recall yuji Sakai being credited for the sculpts in the early years. Could be wrong tho. Also not to mention tohos trademarks have probably gone up since 2014, and also likely have a tiered rights system for the style of merchandise.

[@_ghost_6570]

Why why did you make this so long dude😅

[@q.h.s5051]

"What's happening" implies that the recent releases have all been bad, but from what I see in your videos it seems like there has only ever been a bad apple every once in a while. And a few of them Im not sure I understand the criticism. Shin and 1954 look amazing. And then when it comes to price, I also didn't see a major issue. $60-$100 for an item without accessories seems fair, and $100-150 with. Bigger figures, $150-250. The prices seem fine for me, not to mention that I myself cannot afford to buy any of them because I dont earn that much. And while Im aware that this is an older video, I do want to comment that any hesitation I had with this line, any doubt, any belief that the quality would continue to drop was destroyed with the releases to follow Shin. Godzilla 2002 was awesome. The Kotm figures are awesome.

[@TitanosaurusFan75]

I remember the good days of Godzilla 1994, that was good because in Japan, it costs $20(2000 yen)

[@adrianavila6694]

Titanosaurus Fan'75 Now way was it $20 dollars. MSRP had him at $55 dollars, you either had a typo or something else.

[@Ram_Ozymandias]

@@adrianavila6694 nope check AmiAmi they might not be in stock anymore but the prices never changed and almost all of their shma figures have a reasonable price.

[@eggings]

BE GREATFUL OF THE PRISES ARE SO LOW BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE LIKE BOI IS LIKE 1K DOLLARS

[@aamonster7312]

Good thing kiryu final battle ver and Godzilla 2002 got sh.monsterarts back on track a bit cause those figs are amazing

[@spee9dy457]

Felt like throwing up when Shin Godzilla's face popped in front of the camera. Looks like a child's toy when it's not.

[@omarcaal8152]

I appreciate your honest reviews on this series. I want to add, that I am surprised, that there's no Anguirus (Classic and/or Modern). And, since S.H. produced Gamera, why didn't they make Gayos?

[@aliencicada2985]

Besides, the special color destroyah has the right color eyes, and actually comes with accessories.

[@tamalrickolino413]

Yo man. It’s 2019 and there have been more figures. So yeah. What about a part 3?

[@voyagerkamen1386]

In 2020 we need Showa figures, like a 75 or 68 Godzilla, and a REAL Showa Ghidorah, and I’m pretty sure everyone wants a Megalon.

[@baragon301]

It is very weird that the Ultraman figures are getting better but not the monsterarts

[@gunstargizmo]

The problem they faced with the 1954 Godzilla is that the film was in b&w, and if they painted it with colours, the diehard buffs would complain. The painting isn't perfect, but you can always touch up yourself. For someone like myself who just discovered these figures, the repaints offer another opportunity to collect them, though personally, I'm aiming for just one which is either 2002 or 1989.

[@jaydentroeger980]

Wait if you hate the figures than why do you still have them then hmm?

[@jaydentroeger980]

I have news for everyone

[@catzp1zak604]

It’s really sad that my favorite godzilla (shin) is overpriced and they didn’t do it justice. I really want a shin figure that is good. If anyone knows of one, please let me know

[@stonewalljackson2721]

Catz&p1za K neca one

[@Ergeniz]

@@stonewalljackson2721 Sega one is close second

[@Bob-ed9tc]

The reason for the lazy paint is most likely for the original movie is in black and white

[@gabrielgonzalez7790]

If you don’t like this stuff stop buying it, by just getting angry about this trash and still buying it, you’re telling them that they can get away with doing a half ass job and people will still buy it. They was testing the waters to see how much shit they could get away with, and y’all just didn’t care

[@Ltdtaylor1970VA]

Will there be a part 3?

[@jflor163]

Sigh...just my luck, godzilla 2014 was my first SH monsterarts figure...i know...

[@redthercgamingrcandvlogs2954]

Josias M. Flores dude its ok i wanted it too who cares about the eyes

[@XuntosIzor]

in 2011 and 2012 Tamashii had a line called Ultra-Act for all of the Ultraman stuff. They had tons of amazing prototypes like Zetton, Baltan 1, and Metron that never came out. The line focused less on kaiju and aliens and exclusively on the Ultras. The releases slowed down and soon they weren't even pumping out new characters anymore; just re-releases of the same characters over and over again. The last thing that came out from Ultra-Act was a couple years ago and the line officially died at the end of 2015 when SH Figuarts acquired Ultraman. There is some hope to the story though, last year SH Figuarts made their own Ultraman that was a totally new sculpt with the benefit of a bunch of accessories. The very second Ultraman figure they put out was Baltan 1! Likely based on that 2011 prototype never released! The next ones in the line were more kaiju and aliens, finally after so many years of patience I'm getting all those characters that were teased and never released like Zetton and Metron. The quality and paint on them are better than ever. We have the two brand new Showa and Poster Heisei Mechagodzillas coming out worth being excited for, especially because the mechanical kaiju are their strong point with no paint QC issues ever in the past. They don't want this line to die, that would be a well of money run dry. The more we criticize the line when it fails and praise it when it succeeds, the more power we have to have our concerns heard. I think we are taking a step in the right direction. We can't let them make a quick buck off of us for releasing subpar products, but we have to support them in their successes

[@Super_Mariozilla]

Well said my friend.

[@tracilombardi5000]

GG Mariozilla. You are slightly psychic! Shin form B looked awful like you said, but Destroyah and Mechagodzilla weren't too bad.

[@Super_Mariozilla]

I know right! I was just making a joke about it! I didn't think it would've looked awful.

[@Attomicc076]

The bad paint on the 1954 was on purpose to reflect the noir look of the movie

[@ryaquaza3offical]

Fitting that 2014’s figure was terrible but whatever Still trying to get some of the older figures tho, but they are soo damn expensive

[@richardhamilton1930]

The biggest price they had for shin is 200 to 300

[@JoeMamaTheDinosaurFan]

You ever gonna make a part 3? Because so much more have released and so much more are on the way, like g19, ghidorah 2019, mothra 2019, rodan 2019, mechagodzilla 21, ultima, earth, biollante repaint, kiryu goji, fw Godzilla, battle gigan, etc

[@goblinslayertf2]

I relate to this because the first shma figure I got was gmk and I was so mad that the wrist was too loose and the tail tip is too and by the time I type this the ab crunch is loose

[@RYANTHECRITE2023]

You know his eyes were actually like that in the actual film right

[@JayZee4]

My Shin Godzilla is one of my favorites, personally. I guess I got lucky and got one with very little flaws.

[@Bill-cipher1542]

Do a part 3

[@0onailueG]

As we speak the newest repaint has been announced. Excluding the limestones of shin goiras(pluraled? for the fact they are limestone coloring all 3 forms). A atomic breath effect has been announced for Shin Gojira known at this time Shin Gojira Awakening Version. www.shma-articulationseries.com/upcoming-releases.html myfigurecollection.net/item/540157#tab/other/date/8/1
