At this point in the line the quality control with the paint (eyes especially) should be almost non existent. Especially for the premium price that they ask.
I’m really excited for this guy, 62 was my first and is my favourite Godzilla. This design is what introduced me to Godzilla. In recent years I’ve learned that this design is a favourite of many many others. We go to SH monster arts for the best paint, sculpting and articulation. The fact that this figure can’t properly do the clap is a sin. The wonky paint on the lips and teeth is a sin. We fork out our money to buy these things because it’s the closest we can get to actually holding Godzilla and many others as possible. He looks great don’t get me wrong, but when you pay 100+ dollars you should expect and get the best. I will say that the sculpting is 10/10 looks perfect, that tail amazing! The eyes if they aren’t derpy, are so perfect and look just like the suit. Bandai you’re doing some great stuff but you need to step up your game, because you aren’t Hasbro and this isn’t the 2015/2016 Jurassic park toy line.
Seems Bandai was a bit lazy with this figure. The claws and toes almost not being painted is just inexcusable. Other then that I'm happy to see that he's a fine figure. Excellent review as always!
Why the hell did I pass on importing this guy? This would have been a no brainer for me...oh wait, he's $100? Yeeeeah, that's why. But I'll pick it up at some point, great review Steven!
Damn I turn my back for one second and most places already sold out this figure. I had to preorder it on BigBadToy store. I think I might buy from them from now on when it comes to new figures
Besides the QC duds, this figure wouldn't be half bad at a price between $60 to $70, in my opinion. I'm glad to see that other than paint applications, this figure is good. I'm quite impressed by the range of articulation, which was the only thing I hadn't seen much for. I'm glad I preordered it. Just worried about this paint gambling. Now, NECA's figure needs to actually be released, and a proper comparison can be made. Honestly though, you can't go wrong with Godzilla 1962 (besides the QC issues, again). I'd get the Deforeal version if I had enough money. Definitely my favorite Showa Godzilla, right before 1964 and 1954.
If this thing came with a iceberg base you could put him in and have it break open like the movie I would do a thing that is not advertiser friendly in my pants...
I buy similiar figures when i was a kid on bazaar for few bucks, the figure looks cheap because it's a design from older movies that looks goofy as hell. I understand the concept of those figures, but i still don't get why they cost so much?
Noticed something weird yet funny about this Figure and the Neca. Both of them have the largest dorsal spine on the lower half of the body and the first two spines on the top. It’s kinda weird looking at how similar they are. Anyway great review Steven! I’m gonna stick with the Neca. I don’t want to play the guessing game with this guy for $100. Excited to see how the Neca Turns out and the eventual figure fight between the two figures.
I like this figure. I like this figure alot. In fact I'm kind of a fan of the non-painted finger nails. But, I am going to wait for the NECA figure. It might be less accurate. Though it will be ten times more durable.
I know this is a few years old. But has there been a reissue of 62' as of Jan 2022? Other than the 64' (and due to it's size im happy with the NECA) this guy is the last SHMA Godzilla I need, but I really don't want to pay $250+. I know Bandi almost always makes either a special color or reissue a few years after the 1st release. I haven't see anything on a reissue, and if so I'm happy to wait. Thanks!!
So what I'm getting from this is that this figure is fine, not worth $100 but still a good figure, and NECA fans have been trying to make this figure look bad... YOU SHOULD DO A FIGURE WAR WHEN THE NECA ONE COMES OUT
I just watched the movie Yesterday. both eyes sort of look up, the right one is a bit off to the right with the left one a bit more forward. this suit only looks good from the side. Also the lips actually did look like they were painted on, but were more of a maroon color rather than red. Not Denial, fact son...
I will never understand people getting mad that their SHOWA Godzilla has derpy/lazy eye. Few shots ever have Godzilla’s eyes looking the same direction. Now when one is aimed behind him then it’s a problem. Anguirus has had the same problems with looking at the same direction. 1973, 1974, and 1975 are the only ones in the Showa era to have consistent eyes. Godzilla vs Mothra and Godzilla vs The Sea Monster have the best evidence supporting my claim.
*NO ONE* is saying they want Godzilla looking forward, they want symmetry. No one wants a Godzilla with one eye looking at the ceiling, the other the floor. That's the issue.
Steven's Toy Reviews I understand your point. I’m saying that most Showa Godzillas have very inconsistent eyes. And I prefer the symmetry as well. I hate inconsistent eyes figure to figure. But I’ve seen some pretty messed up eyes on Godzilla figures. Some of these issues shouldn’t be a dealbreaker for a lot of these figures.
ShredderFoox i read somewhere that Toho kinda embarassed for their 70's era thats why you barely see them push their 70's goji. even on movie monster series there is only a few 1970's goji
From all I've seen, this is a good figure, but definitely not 100 bucks. Firmly in waiting for a deal category for me. But now I'm torn on if I really want to sell my Kong figure now...again...
Does anyone remember the good old days of these figures when the first Godzilla came out with an atomic beam effect and only costed $50? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Why does BIGBADTOYSTORE wait forever to ship or post your pre-orders? I paid ahead of time and most of my SH MonsterArts are above standard because I do want the best box to complement the action figure that’s in it. So, what do I do... To get BIGBADTOYSTORE ... Attention to ship my item to me more quickly? Also why is it always the same shipping price? Don’t they have a discount for shipping multiple figures to the same address at the same time ... I was under impression they give you some kind a discount on shipping to do so.... I been using them for over two years now...hum.??
There's a lot to unpack there so one by one 1. They charge when it ships 2. They're supplied by Bluefin so you need to wait a 4-8 weeks after the release date for them to get it, this is all NA retailers 3. They offer the $4 flat rate shipping for tons of products - even if you have 10 things in the box. That's not a discount?
Okay, I gotcha on 1-3 and I should had realized that #2 would be the biggest point. I have asked them about #3 but they tell me it doesn’t count on my orders on SH MonsterArts figures, which sounds totally silly 😜 to me. Maybe I need to contact them on the 1-800 customer service line and talk to another representative. Thanks Steven!
Me : Incredible figure!!!!! My wallet : INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE Allso my wallet: Why dont you wish the neca for your birthday? Me: Ok then Me after my byrthday : HOLY SH*T how did i even think about spending so much money on the SHMA??!! I am just not that rich to spend so much money, and the neca is very good so i am happy.
I really would like to get this figure, but it just is not worth the $100 dollars. Normally I would be fine with the price, but with the recent NECAs getting better in quality and staying around a $20 dollar range, I just don't think this is worth it, especially since the new SHMA Godzilla design looks so good, and is at least $30 cheaper.
so glad steve gets the shit QC figures sent to his address , mine have been great , may be one i had a issue with but thats it. makes me happy knowing that LOL
jUST GO TO WALMART AND GET WHITE WATER BASED ACRYLIC PAINT FOR 50 CENTS , LOOK UP HOW TO DRYBRUSH ON TH-cam, AND HE'S FIXED! sorry my caps lock was on :/
@@StevensToyReviews Dude have you even purchased one yet!? It has a way better paint job than SHMA's like no leaked pink on the upper lip like your figure has in the review.
We have all been here. I used to be here thinking that neca is better because it’s cheaper and you can’t afford it so you’re jealous so you say it’s horrible I’ve been in the same exact situation. I understand you but one day you will understand too.
What, this figure exists? I didn't even know. King Kong Vs Godzilla is my favourite Showa film.
"Who's gonna watch a Steven Toy Review at three in the morning?"
Me: Oh boy three am!
lol i remember that krabby patty thing with patrick
@@SaurianStudios1207 he did, this video was uploaded at 3 were I am, so he did appear.

At this point in the line the quality control with the paint (eyes especially) should be almost non existent. Especially for the premium price that they ask.
Didnt he just say that the eye issue was because of the amber shading?

hello
The claws I think are suppose to represent the night scenes or the more dirty looks, in the movie most scenes his claws are covered in dirt
At least the claws feel like a different material to bring out the mud
It's times like these I am soo thankful you still do this.
Wouldn't trust anyone else.
Really hoping to try and pick it up soon.
Why the hell did I pass on importing this guy? This would have been a no brainer for me...oh wait, he's $100? Yeeeeah, that's why. But I'll pick it up at some point, great review Steven!
ScorpioCesar might want to pick it up soon. Inflation is crazy with figures these days.
You could get the neca one if you wanted to
Donna Hardy Just got him the other day!
ScorpioCesar I just got him today but his foot broke off and had to get another one. My second one is so much better and I love it
Donna Hardy I’ve heard about that issue, hopefully I don’t have it too when I open him.
This is why I like this guy. He actually criticizes the toy. Unlike other TH-camrs that just praise them like their all holy.
Damn I turn my back for one second and most places already sold out this figure. I had to preorder it on BigBadToy store. I think I might buy from them from now on when it comes to new figures
3 Am upload, no problem
You better be worth it~
Godzilla 1962. You're the derpy dino of my life.
Godzilla 1962 Is My Favorite
Insert Godzilla clapping meme here
Steven, you are one of the best toy reviewers (in my opinion) on youtube
The atomic Beam for this one should have been a translucent blue with a red Hue at the tip.
No no, how about the reverse: glowing red & orange at the mouth, piercing bright blue along the length?
Passing on the SHM 62. Waiting for the NECA release 😁 want to use him in my Stop Motion Clips

Steven Toy Reviews is Great Channel👍👌. I hope this channel get more subs 👍. King Goji Suit is my favourite Godzilla Suit.
I sure hope SH Monsterarts puts out 62 Kong. At least they can't fuck up his face anymore than it is already is. Great review!
1 and BTW It is a Awesome review I think I hope that I will buy along with the S.H MA Godzilla 2019
I will be buying he Neca one.
...
I can only afford the Neca one😕
That's ok I prefer the neca one
I think the sculpt on these are amazing but WHO DOES THE PAINTING?
Bandai and tamshii c’mon you HAVE TO MAKE A KING KONG FROM THIS MOVIE
It looks great.
I like this figure. I like this figure alot. In fact I'm kind of a fan of the non-painted finger nails. But, I am going to wait for the NECA figure. It might be less accurate. Though it will be ten times more durable.

I'm only picking the NECA version because it isn't gonna be gappy like the Bandai SHMA version because some joints are popping out.
I kinda find it funny this goes to £400-£1500 here on eBay like wtf
I like the NECA better
My new fav sh monster arts fig
Figure fight S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 1962 vs NECA Godzilla 1962 please!
Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have gotten one like yours?
Steven, which brand do you prefer for this figure? Neca or S.H. Monsterarts.
Lol you replied so late.
Even though I have school, it’s still worth it to watch it at 3 AM, idc
I don't
The pre-order price for him was $89 with free shipping on eKnightmedia
Wow that's so cool!!!
Why am I up at this time.
lol same, im to impatient to go to sleep cause im gonna get s.h figures of dbz
I WAS up too, I can’t believe I was.
When are they gonna make a godzilla 1974 figure?
ShredderFoox i read somewhere that Toho kinda embarassed for their 70's era thats why you barely see them push their 70's goji. even on movie monster series there is only a few 1970's goji
bijikedelai that makes sense. They made him look more derpy to attract kids and as a result he looked retarded during that time.
That doesn't explain X-plus's success with those figures though
@@bijikedelai well I hope they do make a Godzilla 1974 figure because I have the Mechagodzilla 1974 Figure.

Does anyone remember the good old days of these figures when the first Godzilla came out with an atomic beam effect and only costed $50? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
this is the first time im early yes!
surprised you didn't pull out Showa MechaGodzilla and Goji 64 for the sizing.

Is there literally no one else making high end kaiju figures?
necs
neca*
well the other high end options are xplus or the japanese model kit i dont remember the brand name
Can you do an "figure fight" for this 1962 and NECA '62.
That would be awesome

When will we get a final wars figure
Yeah I'll wait for neca's
$100? I got my neca for $24! That’s why neca is better
Nah. Price alone doesn't make a figure good.
Steven's Toy Reviews true
How long did it take to get to you
where did you get that ice effect piece?

He looks super derpy facing forward
I’m ready *Daddy*
Steve: it’s a web exclusive
Me seeing it in this store: bra
You look on the box? You see the premium Bandai logo? Okay
K
so glad steve gets the shit QC figures sent to his address , mine have been great , may be one i had a issue with but thats it. makes me happy knowing that LOL
Who's Steve?
I dont need it. *Sees video* ... Oh yessssss.
Oof guess I'll just wait for the NECA, it looks better imo plus price is unbeatable... Could just be me though. 🤷
I prefer the neca one but this is ok
hope this figure will make a godzilla 1962 the emergence version
G62s eyes are supposed to be white
They're not completely
I love the film but I hate the price as much as I hate the film from whence it comes.
*clap clap* Godzilla review
I'd be mad as hell if I paid a hundred bucks for that turd. I'll wait for NECA to sell me what may be a thirty dollar turd instead, lol.
Am I the only one who thinks that they OVERsculpted the figure. I mean, why did they make holes and cracks on the nails?
I don’t like 62 Godzilla that much
