S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 2014 Poster Version and Effect Releases.

I don't want to sound smug or I-told-you-so, but we've got some more repaints coming our way from Tamashii. But, never fear, I actually have a positive outlook on these releases... or at least one.

First up: The Godzilla 2014 Poster Version:

He looks almost friendly.

Now I'm not sure what poster they're referring to exactly, but it's... interesting. Compared to the other reveal, it pales in comparison.

The Fire-Breathing-Spine-Glowing-MUTO-Beheading Version:

I'm sure that's the official release name, too.

Arguably, this is the figure we would have wanted in the initial release. I understand that they probably wanted a plain  Godzilla to release with dark fins and yadda yadda, but THIS. THIS is a great looking figure. It looks like some of the face paint is touched up and the spines look amazing, very classic Godzilla glow. Also, that is some serious film-accurate breath effect. I love how they captured the more vapor-esque look to the new atomic breath as compared to the standard "beam" effect.

Maybe I'm speculating, but seeing that MUTO head makes me feel like there is a small glimmer of a chance that we'll see a release. Maybe. Just Maybe. But for now, that head looks awesome.

So, there you have it, 2 new Gojis coming your way if you skipped on the initial release of the new Godzilla. I, for one, am already debating on selling mine to get this bad boy! Speak up in the comments below: Which one of these releases would you rather have? Or are you good sticking with the initial release? 

As a heads up, 2 very exciting releases to ring in the new year are coming for you SHMA collectors, of course I'm talking about Mecha King Ghidorah and GAMERA! Get those preorders in because I have a feeling these are going to be great.
