TAMASHII NATIONSGodzilla vs Kong 2021 - Kong - Event Exclusive Color Edition, Bandai Spirits S.H.MonsterArts Action Figure

Nice and detailed of this figure is amazing.

I’m seeing all these reviews of people complaining about the figure and I’m questioning if I’m lucky because I have hardly any issues with this figure. The sculpting is great, although inaccurate. But I believe the reason for its inaccuracy is that fact that it was sculpted off of ape skeletons rather then a Kong render. So it’s basically an accurate ape with features of Kong 2021, but I don’t know for an absolute fact if this is true. The paint job is great, though I don’t really see how you could mess up a paint job for kong… it’s really black with brown dry-brush, but the paint in the mouth/teeth of the roaring head and on the battle axe look fantastic. The accessories are great and the amount the figure comes with for the price of $68 is unbelievable for an SHMA. The roaring head I have the most issue with (mainly cause of the inaccurate sculpt) but I’m not gonna complain because it’s better than not having a roaring head. Though I do wish it came with an angry face or something like that. Now for this big part… the articulation. On mine the articulation is great, but I too have issues. My issues are no where near as bad as other claim to have, but my right leg is a bit lose which can be irritating when trying to pose the figure and the left leg seems to be turned left a bit so when I try to “fix” it the leg will pop off, but nothing is broken and it’s an easy fix. I obviously can’t say that people are over exaggerating on how “poor” their figure is, but just know, don’t be rough on the figure or something will pop off, and these figures are not very good gifts for kids. There not toys, there collector items and they are recommended for around 16+. I’m not telling anyone what they can and can’t do, but some children are rough with toys and SHMA are well known for breaking easily, so if you wanna buy an expensive figure that could break for your kid, that’s on you. Overall the plastic for this figure seems to be softer than any plastic I’ve seen before on an SHMA, so that could be a major factor for the “easy popped off parts” for this figure. I personally would 100% recommend this figure because your not gonna find a Kong figure let alone an SHMA, with as much accessories and articulation at the price of $68. But remember at the end of the day, my opinion doesn’t matter and the choice is yours.

After reading countless reviews on here about people receiving damaged boxes, I was hesitant to buy this from Amazon. But it was listed at the retail price of $68 (with free shipping as well, surprisingly) and I didn't want to overpay. I contacted Amazon customer service via thier Chat, and requested they make a note on my order for it to be shipped in a Box, NOT a bubble mailer bag/evenelop and that I would immediately be returning it (without even opening it first) otherwise if it's not.Sure enough, it was shipped to me in a box and was in excellent condition, whew! One more thing I'd like to mention is people are apparently buying this figure for their young children to play with and blaming the product for lack of quality. This IS NOT a children's toy in any way whatsoever. This is a premium adult collectable ment to be posed, sat on a shelf for display and that is it. It is fragile and not ment for rough handling, it isn't a plaything. It's a display piece.Why anyone would pay $70-$120 for a 6 inch tall Godzilla figure thinking it's an actual children's toy is baffling. So that was a mistake on their part, no fault of the figure itself. People complaining about pieces falling off or gaps in the figure cannot possibly be familiar with Figuarts/Monsterarts. Look at these as pre-assembled model kits, in a way. That's how fragile these are so don't be surprised when your figure falls apart in 15 different pieces if you treat them like a $20 Marvel Legend.The majority of complainers on here have no experience with these and it shows. Smh.Mine came in great condition, looks absolutely amazing and I'm pleased to say that this batch seems to have a better paint application on the mouth than the first ones that were shipped out. It's a shame it doesn't include the Atomic Breath effect. That's unforgivable. It comes with two alternate hands, that's it. Articulation is terrific, the paint isn't sloppy at all and the joints are functional with acceptable range of motion as expected.Very happy with this. Had to wait about 12 days before it shipped but was worth it because I got it at it's original retail price with free shipping instead of paying the $120 most places are charging for it right now. Highly recommended to any SHMA collectors that are Godzilla fans. This thing is absolutely beautiful and pleased to have it in my collection. Kudos to Amazon for actually shipping it to me in great condition. Do not buy this for your kids, IT'S NOT A TOY!

The media could not be loaded. This figure was really great, but I’m kind of scared of it. The elbow joints were really tight and I was scared that I would break the figure and the middle pods were very hard to open so I thought that I was going to cause a paint chipping and there was no proton scream, and he wasn’t pulsing with red like in the movie and in the movie, he did move his torso unlike the figure and I wish he had a drill, tail accessory that can swivel but overall this figure has great articulation and I feel like it’s the best SH monster arts figure in my collection. I’ve heard horror stories about the leg pipes, but I’m fine with them and also horror stories of the tail breaking and I will update if the tail actually breaks, but overall this is a really great figure that I highly recommend picking up. Edit: The tail did break but I super glued the joint back together.

I thought it was pricey for the item itself, but our grandson loves it, so it’s worth it!!

This is now my favorite thing in my collection, it has great articulation, and an incredible sculpt. this came a day earlier than expected. a must have for any monster verse Kong fan. while it is a little pricey it's worth it. 10/10 in my opinion.

My grandson loves him

My son got this for his birthday but there were broken parts when the item arrived. We tried to initiate a return / exchange but was told that the only option was to ship and return ourselves. However, Amazon’ customer service was not able to provide the shipping address and contact number which are basic details needed for me to arrange a return by courier service. Totally disappointed.
