Your Shin Gumzilla is the really the biggest issue I have seen thus far. Great review. Covered everything. I love mine. Glad I didn't really pay much attention to what others were saying before I did my review because I kinda wanna go back and do a second look at this release, not so much at mine but the release in general. But I'm glad I did my review before hearing the criticism because I gave mine a fair assessment based on my own opinion. Apparently an opinion don't count for anything because some people like to shit on others for liking this. The only thing I could critique about mine is the paint is glossy. I didn't even think about it until one of my buddies saw mine in person and then I was like "oh yea, it IS really glossy". Other than that, I love mine. But, you make a lot of great points so it's give me another side of the spectrum to think about. Bam!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support Rich! That is one of the reasons it took me so long to make this review once I got my figures. At first I was too easy and then I felt like I was too harsh. I stepped away from the figure for a day or two and came back with a fair mind. I like the figure, but I don't love it because of the paint apps. I'm sure they will fix it with a repaint.
Ryan James wow now i know why you are so stupid Look kid if you don't have money to buy the figure try getting something more cheap because he isn't gonna give his Godzilla to you Grow up bro the world doesn't spin around you Also you say you're nine but you are acting like a 3 year old kid
Ryan James 1st you have a terrible grammar im not even American and i speak English better 2nd you are the only one crying here telling me to fuck off and honestly im not getting offended 3rd im not trying to be anyone's boss where did you get that?
I so glad my figure looks nice. All of the teeth are painted good, and there’s a perfect amount of red in all of the scars of shins skin. I was so surprised on how big this figure was! Awesome review!
Fantastic review! I love how in depth you went with this figure. It will certainly help me in my decision on wether or not I will pick this guy up. Thanks so much!
Only reason I'd want to get this is if I could actually paint over it myself, or if I knew anyone who could. There've been some glorious repaints of this figure that truly bring out its high level of detail with a balance of blackened skin and actually red muscle fibers. But as is, it's an easy pass.
I've heard alot of ppl complain about this figure mostly because it looks nothing like the prototype, the thing is no figure will ever look as good as their prototypes because toy companies take more time on the prototypes and they actually hand paint them. I was lucky to get one that doesn't fall apart and has a very good paint application. I give this figure a 10/10.
Monsterarts are normally cheapest when preorders first open, or when in the preorder sate in general. AmiAmi had Shin for $85 when it was up fro preorder.
One thing to note: I thought Bandai made this figure with a reddish plastic and did a *blackwash* to him; a huge inaccuracy on Bandai's part. P.S. Good thing you bought two--you could've ended up with only a Shin Gumzilla!
they will probably do a "spitfire" version so that they can fix the paint, sculpt and articulation issues and give us several effects such as the atomic laser beam so that they can make even more money
You could fix that mid section on the tail but getting some rubber gloves, and cut them to fit around the ball joint and it should make it really resistant to movement and probably keep it from coming out so easily.
Gamerafighter76 at least I have the good quality with this figure. Eyes looking in same direction, the red paint is on his body and no paint chipping or gaps
Im one of the few that got a 100% perfect Shin Godzilla...i love it so much, it looks absolutely amazing aside my other SH Monsterarts! Its unacceptable from them to sell such a bad quality figures though, i wish everyone had a perfect figure like mine, because im telling you, this figure is seriously amazing when you dont have those QC problems
It’s actually really good that the pupils are a bit goofy because he has not eye lids and he can move his eyes and the eyes had one looking somewhere and the other looking somewhere else
I really don't care about paint. I mostly buy SHMA figures just to pose and I never identify paint aps. Yeah it's a problem but I still love this figure just because it's so big and bulky and it's tail is so long and detailed.
Hello DIEGO DOOM your reviews are always fantastic. I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me where I could possibly buy the building pieces you use for the environment while reviewing? I can't find them anywhere.
Great review brother!!! I just bought the movie on Blue Ray and it has really reignited my passion for Godzilla and Kaiju movies in general. I absolutely love the look of Shin Godzilla and have to,get this figure. I currently have the Neca version but I really want the Monster Arts offering. I just currently can't afford the damn scalper prices he's going for. BTW if you ever want to sell your crappy version for a fair price let me know. I don't care that it isn't perfect and it would give me a representation of a figure I love and I know the money would be going back into the hobby I love and respect. Not to mention generating more videos I love to watch. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work brother...
I think I would say at the absolute most $120. I know that’s high, but I’m considering how popular the figure is and if I will have to chance to get a new one again.
I'm not sure about this figure, it feels like they rush this figure. I just get this as a collectible, but is it really worth buying this one? It like "I gotta have all S.H. MonsterArts!" I'm trying to collect them all but some are becoming so expensive and rare. I only have three so far.
in all honesty, I think the only thing I can complain about Is the prices for it. otherwise this is one awesome addition to the MonsterArts line, Next we gotta go with Kamata Kun and Shinagawa Kun.
I got super lucky with mine, his teeth look good, his neck is not nearly as red as most and id say, excluding certain lighting, it looks like it matches. Also, and this is the big one, his eyes aren't googly. They aren't looking forward but both symmetrically look out to the side like his 2nd and 3rd form. So i am super happy with my version but i can definitely see why this figure gets so much hate
So I have a question (probably bad place for it) but the ball joint at the very base of the left tail of my king ghidorah figure and near impossible to put the tail on. So would heating the ball joint or joint hole on the tail with a hair dryer work?
Hey Diego, I want to start a S.H Monsterarts collection but I need some help! I need a monster that will be the first figure in my collection, do you think is should just get whatever figure I like and I'm able to get or is there a certain figure that is good for beginners in the series! Also I loved this video, definitely convinced me to not get Shin Godzilla, it's to much for the risks of mistakes that the figure could have, I don't want a Shin Gumzilla!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! You are right the choice is really up to you. To kick things off I would recommend starting with G95 Rebirth.
Great job on the review! You really went into great detail to show off the defective figure. I think the gumzilla you got is one of the worst shin figure ive seen
This is a very informative review. It would be great if we could get a repaint that looks like the Banpresto vinyl as well as a purple highlight variant.
did you notice that at the end of the tail it looks like a face or head of a another monster> Baby Godzilla or one shin Godzilla will fight another day?
Nice and thorough review, man! I personally think it's perfectly fine to have such bizarre different looking eyes, cos its like that in the movie and its so Anno-sensei's style to play with weird eyeballs in his creatures. I mean compared to the previous godzillas where it has a certain anger on his face, shin godzilla has no emotion, just a mindless horrific looking giant destroying tokyo with his spine chiller smile. Truly the best godzilla imho. Cheers!
Man, I've been lovin' these reviews. Really informative! Also. I was wondering if you would ever be interested in doing a Top 10 of the Godzilla/Kaiju figures that you have? I've been thinking about getting into collecting more and knowing some of your favorites might help me get a good idea of where to start.
It's a pretty cool figure... Not 100% accurate but it's the only posable fig of Shin Goji so it's the best we have. I wish the lower jaw can split in half tho, like in the movie. I do understand that by having that may be a fragility issue. Great review by the way.
I feel like the real reason why some sh monster arts figures have the eyes looking in different directions is becauae the want you to capture the side angles more like in the posters for shin godzilla.
the day that DiegoDoom sounds depressed and disappointed, is the day I never wanted to see.....
heheh316 look at his voice back in 2012
Yeah. Checkout his review on spacegodzilla. You can really hear the tired, sad effects.
well thats vary nice of you
j
I know man he needs a break😊
Gumzilla: I’m the worst shin Godzilla figure in existence
Playmate shin: *allow me to introduce my self*
Playmates Spacegodzilla: hold my G-cells
Gumzilla: It's almost as if I don't have any teeth
Playmates: It's almost as if I only have teeth
Neca: I’m here you know
Who’s should be a better meme
Shin gumzilla
Or
Kamata kun
Gumzilla
gUmZilLa
Oh wait, I forgot about Kevin
Gumzilla XD
Shin gumzilla

Ryan James no you little six year old he won't give it away for a little Whiney kid
Ryan James ukyyugofyuk
Ryan James wow now i know why you are so stupid
Look kid if you don't have money to buy the figure try getting something more cheap because he isn't gonna give his Godzilla to you
Grow up bro the world doesn't spin around you
Also you say you're nine but you are acting like a 3 year old kid
Ryan James 1st you have a terrible grammar im not even American and i speak English better
2nd you are the only one crying here telling me to fuck off and honestly im not getting offended
3rd im not trying to be anyone's boss where did you get that?
I so glad my figure looks nice. All of the teeth are painted good, and there’s a perfect amount of red in all of the scars of shins skin. I was so surprised on how big this figure was! Awesome review!
It's funny how "Shin Gumzilla" has the teeth perfectly sculpted and on the other Shin Godzilla isn't
S.H. MonsterArts, you've screwed up on this one BIG time.
DiegoDoom said "nice release" instead of "another fantastic release"...
That's when they should know they're losing their touch.
I am still getting this figure because its a nice Godzilla
awww man.. didn't expect to have this quality from SH Monsterarts :(
Fantastic review! I love how in depth you went with this figure. It will certainly help me in my decision on wether or not I will pick this guy up. Thanks so much!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!

Nice review! The figure you got actually has pretty good paint compared to other ones
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
the best S.H Monsterarts shin godzilla review at the moment! Thanks Diego!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I sincerely appreciate your comment!
oh my god the sculpting is just beautifull
hurry up jobby you need to review this one
Hey DiegoDoom! I'd like to buy an Shmonsterarts but what shm is the most worth it at its price. Im thinking of 1954 but what do you think?
I would say pick up Godzilla 1995 Rebirth.
DiegoDoom thanks for the reply! Btw ur videos are very entertaining,the editing and camera work is amazing
Thank you very much!
Poor Shin-Givitis.
I've heard alot of ppl complain about this figure mostly because it looks nothing like the prototype, the thing is no figure will ever look as good as their prototypes because toy companies take more time on the prototypes and they actually hand paint them. I was lucky to get one that doesn't fall apart and has a very good paint application. I give this figure a 10/10.
WHAT SITE OR PLACE SELLS THAT FIGURE FOR $86!?
Monsterarts are normally cheapest when preorders first open, or when in the preorder sate in general. AmiAmi had Shin for $85 when it was up fro preorder.
Trusty ™ Darn... thanks.
Good luck getting it for a reasonable price now lol
Because of the prices now it's super lucky it's $86
Low Tier I got sh monsterarts burning Godzilla for &50
One thing to note: I thought Bandai made this figure with a reddish plastic and did a *blackwash* to him; a huge inaccuracy on Bandai's part.
P.S. Good thing you bought two--you could've ended up with only a Shin Gumzilla!
they will probably do a "spitfire" version so that they can fix the paint, sculpt and articulation issues and give us several effects such as the atomic laser beam so that they can make even more money
Wow Bandi nailed it......amazing likeness....Great reviews as always man, enjoy watching them!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Thanks. I'd waited for the eventual Special Colour Edition with the glowing violet purple effects.
This guy is luck based, you can either get gold or shit!
Or golden shit.
Damian Cossetto You mean the exclusive releases for the repaint to go along with the DVD
The only thing I'm not happy with is the glossyness for the paint everything else is fantastic!
You could fix that mid section on the tail but getting some rubber gloves, and cut them to fit around the ball joint and it should make it really resistant to movement and probably keep it from coming out so easily.
I really hope the repaint doesn't let us down as much as this one did; I'm waiting till the repaint to get this figure.
Gamerafighter76 at least I have the good quality with this figure. Eyes looking in same direction, the red paint is on his body and no paint chipping or gaps
I have my hopes for a Shin Godzilla repaint. Love the review.
Me too! Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Im one of the few that got a 100% perfect Shin Godzilla...i love it so much, it looks absolutely amazing aside my other SH Monsterarts!
Its unacceptable from them to sell such a bad quality figures though, i wish everyone had a perfect figure like mine, because im telling you, this figure is seriously amazing when you dont have those QC problems
It’s actually really good that the pupils are a bit goofy because he has not eye lids and he can move his eyes and the eyes had one looking somewhere and the other looking somewhere else
Great review Deigo, that Shin Gumzilla just breaks my heart to pieces. How did that happen?!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Diego Doom theres actually a S.H Monster arts Godzilla second form
Yup, they will not be released until March.
In what website did you get him for only $86
what i mean by that is how much do you think they cost all together
I wish I have all four Godzilla (ShodaiGoji,LegendaryGoji,ShinGoji and Godzilla Earth) S.H MonsterArts Figure
I’m in love with the model
Did you hear the awakening version is out
+Ethan Creator I see it has been released. I'm waiting for my preorder to ship out.
DiegoDoom Cool! I'm excited to see the review
I flipping love your reviews, keep the amazing work up! 👍
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
When you said 'Super LONG and heavy'I was laughing
when you said it was a nice film I was like 😨 what....just..... what. great review as always, I love your sh monsterarts reviews
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Hopefully i get a good painted one
I'm just gonna wait for the Neca version.
7:44 20 years after end of evangelion and hideaki anno still cant resist the urge for some good female genetalial imagery
I heard a reissue is coming in January.
hey diego how much do you think all your godzilla sh monsterarts figures cost
I know what they retailed for, but I don't know how valuable they are now.
Great feedback, man. I preordered the new re-release, so hopefully that comes with fewer flaws.
Overall how many points of articulation did it have?
I was just wondering where exactly did you get yours to pay $86
Your camera zoomed in so much you can see little fuzzy things lol
Where can you get some of those building you use? i know its off topic, but i'm pretty desprate
They are the Option Act buildings. You should be able to pick them up on Amazon.
the good thing is that NECA is releasing their own Shin Godzilla figure, thats what im getting since i cant afford this figure
I really don't care about paint. I mostly buy SHMA figures just to pose and I never identify paint aps. Yeah it's a problem but I still love this figure just because it's so big and bulky and it's tail is so long and detailed.
Hello DIEGO DOOM your reviews are always fantastic. I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me where I could possibly buy the building pieces you use for the environment while reviewing? I can't find them anywhere.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I will make a vlog about it soon.
DiegoDoom thank you for the reply just one more quick question I saw the reviewe of the godzilla 2014 spit fire do you think it will be worth it?
Great review brother!!! I just bought the movie on Blue Ray and it has really reignited my passion for Godzilla and Kaiju movies in general. I absolutely love the look of Shin Godzilla and have to,get this figure. I currently have the Neca version but I really want the Monster Arts offering. I just currently can't afford the damn scalper prices he's going for. BTW if you ever want to sell your crappy version for a fair price let me know. I don't care that it isn't perfect and it would give me a representation of a figure I love and I know the money would be going back into the hobby I love and respect. Not to mention generating more videos I love to watch. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work brother...
+Toy Man 1976 Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my Shin Gumzilla just yet.
You can repain the SHMA Shin with red color cuz Shma shin dont have blood around (exept for back).
What would be your top price of getting one? Because I think I found a good price.
I think I would say at the absolute most $120. I know that’s high, but I’m considering how popular the figure is and if I will have to chance to get a new one again.
Awesome I found him for $90!!!
Thanks DiegoDoom! I ordered him yesterday!
MY only big complain on this figure is that it does not have a breath effect
DeLEET Titan That's because he'll get a spitfire version.
Hey diegodoom, what did you do with your "bad" shin godzilla?
Does anyone know what kind of specialized paint they use for the SH?
What's that figure on the right at 13:29? Neca?
S.H.MonsterArts Kou Kyou Kyoku Godzilla 1989.
Thanks. Thats the more recent release, right?
You got it.
Dude, you should totally do a stop motion parody of the trailers called "Shin Gumzilla"!
That is a fantastic idea!
By the way Diego, what monsters from the Godzilla franchise would you personally like to see in MonsterArts form?
Should I get the awaken ver of shin or the original shin?
Awakening version
I'm gonna get the original
Diegodoom which is your favorite kaiju?
I really want to get this guy but everywhere I go, they're all sold out, anyone know any sites where I can actually find him?
Hey Diego doom where did you get that s.h monsterart shin Godzilla
On the internet
The Slithering Swagger what kind of Internet
I was just thinking, "I wonder if Diego posted shma 2016 yet?" When I saw this
Where you get the figure?
I'm not sure about this figure, it feels like they rush this figure. I just get this as a collectible, but is it really worth buying this one?
It like "I gotta have all S.H. MonsterArts!" I'm trying to collect them all but some are becoming so expensive and rare. I only have three so far.
This is a great review it helped me a lot!!!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I'm glad my review was helpful
DiegoDoom Very Helpful!
xD
Could you please review the sh monsterarts frozen Shin Godzilla? He is on bigbadtoystore for $140 and is NOT sold out. Thanks if you do!
u do the best figure reviews man. great job.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
how do you get the bad version
+Andrew Leyton Sometimes you end up with a defective figure.
in all honesty, I think the only thing I can complain about Is the prices for it.
otherwise this is one awesome addition to the MonsterArts line, Next we gotta go with Kamata Kun and Shinagawa Kun.
Imagine if there were articulation for the eye position
Good. Figure actualy i will buy that fig cool👍but the gaps😕 i like the paint and sculpt graet review 😎$
+Ma. Lourdes Timbang Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
great review. i love my figure but the paint job was ass! so i painted it with some flat tamiyas and BAM!!! fixed!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! That is cool you were able to repaint your Shin.
You said you got this figure for only 86 dollars. Can you please tell me exactly where you got this figure?
how do u clean these figures I need to clean mine from dust
Microfiber cloth and a soft bristle brush
Isn,t G16 supposed to be darker
I got super lucky with mine, his teeth look good, his neck is not nearly as red as most and id say, excluding certain lighting, it looks like it matches. Also, and this is the big one, his eyes aren't googly. They aren't looking forward but both symmetrically look out to the side like his 2nd and 3rd form. So i am super happy with my version but i can definitely see why this figure gets so much hate
Thanks for another quality review! I know this isn't Godzilla related, but have you seen the new Figma Guyver III coming out in July?
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! Yup! I preordered him this morning.
So I have a question (probably bad place for it) but the ball joint at the very base of the left tail of my king ghidorah figure and near impossible to put the tail on. So would heating the ball joint or joint hole on the tail with a hair dryer work?
Heat up the joint hole and insert the tail before the joint cools off.
Hey Diego, I want to start a S.H Monsterarts collection but I need some help! I need a monster that will be the first figure in my collection, do you think is should just get whatever figure I like and I'm able to get or is there a certain figure that is good for beginners in the series!
Also I loved this video, definitely convinced me to not get Shin Godzilla, it's to much for the risks of mistakes that the figure could have, I don't want a Shin Gumzilla!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! You are right the choice is really up to you. To kick things off I would recommend starting with G95 Rebirth.
Great job on the review!
You really went into great detail to show off the defective figure.
I think the gumzilla you got is one of the worst shin figure ive seen
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
This is a very informative review. It would be great if we could get a repaint that looks like the Banpresto vinyl as well as a purple highlight variant.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support Darryl! I completely agree!
Great review as always. I'll probably wait for the neca Shin Godzilla though.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
I got this figure on Christmas! I am also dissatisfied with the paint apps, but luckily I didn't have shin gumzilla
Sorry to hear that.
did you notice that at the end of the tail it looks like a face or head of a another monster> Baby Godzilla or one shin Godzilla will fight another day?
I also heard that this is not going to be release in the USA thru blue fin,..
Nice and thorough review, man! I personally think it's perfectly fine to have such bizarre different looking eyes, cos its like that in the movie and its so Anno-sensei's style to play with weird eyeballs in his creatures. I mean compared to the previous godzillas where it has a certain anger on his face, shin godzilla has no emotion, just a mindless horrific looking giant destroying tokyo with his spine chiller smile. Truly the best godzilla imho. Cheers!
Also they should have thrown in the nuke breath head where its lower jaw is splitting!
Is the movie in DVD yet?
It is in Japan.
Damn it >.
If they do a repaint with an atomic breath effect would u buy it?
Absolutely!
DiegoDoom same!!!
Can you tall us were to buy it for $86
Man, I've been lovin' these reviews. Really informative! Also. I was wondering if you would ever be interested in doing a Top 10 of the Godzilla/Kaiju figures that you have? I've been thinking about getting into collecting more and knowing some of your favorites might help me get a good idea of where to start.
Thanks for Watching and being a long time supporter. I will do a top ten.
very great review! especially with the size comparison. top notch sir
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
It's a pretty cool figure...
Not 100% accurate but it's the only posable fig of Shin Goji so it's the best we have.
I wish the lower jaw can split in half tho, like in the movie. I do understand that by having that may be a fragility issue.
Great review by the way.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
I'm not paying $150 AUD plus postage to get a Shin Gumzilla. Definitely waiting for NECA's Shin Godzilla release.
Same. I gave up on trying to find this figure for a decent price, and then there's the off chance of having an atrocious paint job. -Damian
The paint is definitely what detracts from the figure
I feel like the real reason why some sh monster arts figures have the eyes looking in different directions is becauae the want you to capture the side angles more like in the posters for shin godzilla.
Josias M. Flores No, it's because Bandai is lazy.
Jarmo Verriet
Are you suuuurrre?
I know the figure has some bad paint job but I really want this
May be some flaws but a must buy for a collector like myself👌🏻
Nathan Byington Far from a must-buy.
They should sell paint to the buyers incase of these incidents so they can correct these flaws until they are fulfilled.
"shin GUMzilla" LOL
