- Well... it's here. For better or worse. While I do like the figure, for $95 it isn't a value. See: S.H. Figuarts Gomora for another example.

![The ACTUAL Best Mechagodzilla Toy [Soul of Chogokin KIRYU Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2EkT07LAYv0/mqdefault.jpg)
BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON THE VIDEO ABOUT "REEEE ANOTHER S.H. MONSTERARTS REVIEW STEVEN DOESN'T LIKE ANYTHING"
Kiryu is $96.99 at MSRP. Ask yourself; is this figure on par with Kiryu? Action figures have improved since then.
I don't think you don't like anything, I like that you are harsh on figures, it really separates you from all the other reviewers out there. Reviewers in general are too afraid to say what they really think about a product, and I love your channel because you don't care what people think about your opinion, you just let us know what you think about something. Thanks for this review, Steven.
Tiernan McCulloch I highly agree
Steven's Toy Reviews no not at all personally I love your style your really honest you really help me figure out which figures would be a great purchase so yeah thanks!😃
Hi
Steven's Toy Reviews Real Gets Hated On! I feel you man I don't like how they made him To be Honest with.
it's not like the Bandai Creation Mechagodzilla I just feel like the Face On MG looks Like a lot more of Godzailla Unleash The Video Game In My Opinion I'm sadly to say SHMA really Didn't Put a lot of work to him so I passed... SADLY MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD VILLAN! But forsure I'm waiting on The Godzilla 2002!
Bandai needs to understand how to do articulation. Hinges and swivels work for robots, not ball joints!
I mean at least this is better than the $15 one you can buy 😆 this one still looks pretty cool
then just pretend they are swivels
Bandai: ball joint addict
I'm glad I waited til it was released and the reviews came out. Those shoulder parts, the price and dull accessory convinced me to pass. I'm glad there's honest reviewers like you who point out obvious issues.
Also, another review will go up later today!
Nice review. What were they thinking with the shoulders? For the price we really should have received more effect parts like the Eye Beam. I paid more for this than I did Heavy Arms Kiryu. That said, I still had to have this version of MG!
Darryl Banks The eyebeams will be for second release with a swappable head for the following 1975 film, "Terror of Mechagodzilla."
@@CrimsonRaptors So, how do you feel now?
Shouldve bought the Chogokin. Hope you enjoyed it.
THE CHAD CHOGOKIN
THE VIRGIN SHMA
I am really glad that i got the chogokin figure last summer
LM_84 Was gonna get that one but the screw that the Chogokin had under the chin was a big turn off for me as well as the feet looking to separate from the body. SHMA looks pretty sad too, so I've decided just to preorder the New SHMA Kiryu
After watching your review and others, I strongly prefer my Chogokin MG 1975 over this release. Paint on that one is not as shiny as this, the mouth is on a hinge, decent amount of diecast, and accesories. Would be nice to have a flight stand like you said
Holy hell this is bad. And for 95 bucks??? The paint is too thick and whoever came up with the shoulder rings can go to hell.
Thanks for reviewing this figure. You did a great job as always.
No size comparison with the Chogokin? Figure Fight?
+DaikaijuTony 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
+DaikaijuTony To legit answer your question, I didn't feel like putting more into the review and I'm considering it. It's pretty clear the Chogokin is better. Plus the one I have is the chrome variant so it's a bit different.
Steven's Toy Reviews I still think this should be done!🙏
Thank you for this wonderful Valentine, Steven.
Which would you suggest buying, the Chogokain or SHMA MechaGodzilla? I was thinking about picking up the Chogokain at G-Fest and now I'm not sure if I should get the SHMA instead.
Absolutely ridiculous that this figure is $95 with all those issues. Those shoulder rings are a terrible design choice and arguably the worst part of the figure. Very disappointing.
Super Mariozilla I know right? And to think that he’s so close to the price of Kiryu! He should be a $40 to $60!
I'm extremely disappointed thus far. I don't have the figure yet, but I was considering on getting it over the summer so I can pair it up with my Bandai 1974 Godzilla.
Now, I'm split between getting this or the '02 Godzilla (SpaceGodzilla and the new Kiryu are outta the question.). The latter figure has a better price and the sculpt looks absolutely _Incredible_ (no doubt it'll have derp eyes but W/E XD).
Super Mariozilla the good thing is that the price didn’t go up much on amazon, just a few bucks.
No Mecha-Godzilla figure besides the Soul of Chogokin figures have really convinced me. And this SH MonsterArts version is also subpar in my opinion. I have MG2 by SoC and it's my no. 1 Showa Mecha-Godzilla. He looks really awesome next to the new NECA Godzillas. He also comes with a piece of Space Titanium and some extra parts to recreate scenes from the movies.
To be clear, that's not an SoC. It's just a Chogokin.
I wish I was collecting figures five years ago this would have been great to pick up
This review should be called Steven absolutely ROASTS S.H. MonsterArts Mechagodzilla. And rightfully so, Bandai really dropped the ball with this guy.
Very fair review, this figure is nowhere near perfect but it's also a relief to see there is some good qualities about it but that price point, YEESH! Man, this video makes me wish I picked up Kiryu when he released rather than spend what I did on the aftermarket a couple of years ago.
The price is tempting, but idk if I should get it due to the ring problem
15:36 Actually, it was $44.83 when it was up for pre order. Now it moved down from 95 to 85 today on amazon. I do hope that they would remake this figure again, but with better paint (I love the shinning silver), eye beam accessory, better articulation (instead of the rings, they should use something else), and most importantly the size (as a Heisei Godzilla size).
Lol what, no it wasn't, never has been
camelcamelcamel.com/Tamashii-Nations-MonsterArts-Mechagodzilla-Godzilla/product/B075YYZNC2?context=search
@@StevensToyReviews I was confused after seeing the original display from New York Comic Con, even Super Mariozilla saw it too and mentioned it. I mean if this figure was that price, it would be forgivable. But I can't say it in this case. Bandai and Tamashii just wanna overprice their poor quality sh!t for no reason.
Price dropped again, this time it's 85 dollars. I'm planning to buy it, because I'm a diehard Mechagodzilla fan. I can respect people's opinions.
Bro I love how this looks
I wonder
Would some carefully placed nail polish inside the shoulder joint be enough to keep the rings out? Or maybe a super glue barrier?
Just as a barrier I mean though; not gluing the things on.
I knew they would exclude essential effect parts.
Don’t worry Steven, no one likes floaters in their streams... erm chest beams.
The paint is soo lacking on this thing... What happened to SHMA's awesome shading?
+Switch Board wait for the Anguirus review. Night and day difference.
Honestly I'm so happy I got the Chogokin Mechagodzilla before the SH Monsterarts Mechagodzilla was released. I feel as if the Chogokin really satisfies my standards for this character. In my opinion, it is the better version of the 2 figures.
Is the website in the description what you regularly use to purchase your sh monsterarts figures? I usually don’t go on any sites besides amazon just to be on the safe side but I’m thinking of giving it a try.
Yep, I have purchased them! I even post haul videos from there~
Steven's Toy Reviews Thank you for your feedback. I was looking to pre order the Godzilla 2002 figure but it was a lot more expensive on amazon.
Glad I passed on this dud, though I'm one of the 5 people who is wanting the SCV SpaceGodzilla haha
They should have glued all the rings together or had them peg in somewhere on the arm. Problem solved. Also a weathered version would be cool.
As for the articulation.....it’s Showa Mechagodzilla. Did he articulate that well to begin with? Though the jaw should probably be on the hinge.
Lastly, I’m beginning to think they make the Showa figures small to scale with the old Revoltech figure, but it’s the only reason I can come up with.
Best Chanel
I feel like we are getting the same paint scheme that we got with Kiryu. Original generally didn't have the best paint and was without shading. Then we got Heavy Arms Kiryu. That one had great shading! But it made sense that they would do that then because the original Kiryu was released very early in the line. This far in the line, they should know better by now.
Nah, the original Kiryu actually had paint detail to it. Heavy Arms was meant to be a mix of normal and battle damage. The issue here isn't whether or not it *has* shading/weathering, but whether or not it's appropriate. In MG74's case, it isn't
Yeah. But just in general, Heavy Arm's Kiryu did have existing shading.
WOW... i didnt remember this existed, i thought it was new and then i saw the date
they may include the eye beams with the 75 repaint which is happening because of course it is but knowing bandai they probably will not include the eye beams and the only new addition is the alternate brain head which admittedly would be pretty awesome
I eventually talked myself out of this hoping that it will eventually depreciate like Gomora.
When I saw MechaGodzilla here on the market, I thought, "what could possible go wrong? It's a Mecha!" And do you know what? They wen't wrong...
Despite all the issues, I will probably still pick this guy up when I get the money, just because I am in need of an actual evil Godzilla enemy, because the only monsterarts I have that aren't different Godzilla generations are all G-Force mechs.
Do you know what might be cool if they make a Mecha Godzilla 2 from terror of mecha Godzilla 1975
Something like 1975 edition or 2nd edition or something like that
With a flying stand with with eye beams and fixing problems from original figure like paint and be better articulated
I love that this figures biggest problem is something vacuum cleaners solved.
Well, he was made of space titanium a little bit of elbow grease shines up real good lol
I’m hoping Mechagodzilla 2020 isn’t that expensive.
Have so many 74' Mecha G's in the collection, this one ain't gonna be missed. Let's face it though, while this looks kinda crap, so did the actual MechaG suit. Anyway, prefer the older gokin release - nice review.
hi, im in the uk and we dont have dollars so is there any were to get it with pounds.
I'm predicting a Terror of Mechagodzilla repaint/slight retool within a year or 2
I actually don’t mind any of these issues I don’t care about articulation as long as it’s decent and I just really love mechagodzilla 1974 I want this figure super badly but it’s only on Amazon for $300 so it’s like but the figure and loose a lot of money or wait till I see something better even though I really want this figure
They will do a repaint..hook line sinker
Hey Steven, what would your best recommendation for a 74 mechagodzilla be?
Bit late, but I really like my chogokin. I skipped this release because I had it. That said, he is close to 7 inches tall...
Thanks for the review! Really hope to see a NECA version at some point. I just don't have MonsterArts money
hipzilla 702 they have the license to godzilla
I have all of the NECA Godzillas except for the NES Classic one. :/ Unfortunately, he's so hard to find.
Ghido goji Last I heard they can only do Godzilla and only what Toho allows them.
Enishi San 🤦🏽♂️ which is only godzilla
So sad that they can only do Godzilla. And they seem to be unable to acquire licenses to new versions. Last year we got a re-release of GMK and this year we're getting re-releases of the 1994 and Burning Godzilla.
Can’t you use the original Mechagodzilla 1993 beam effect as a substitute eye beam for this guy?
It’s gonna look really big
I think this is a good figure. It’s not great, but it’s not as expensive as most monsterarts.
Man, MonsterArts drops the ball a lot. Their figures are totally not worth the price anymore. I'll just have to hope that NECA can release more Godzilla figures. At least I won't immediately get buyer's remorse from those.
This was my first shmonsterarts figure. But at the same time it kinda stinks. The little rings near the elbows are really screwed up on mine, a few have even snapped. And I lost the rings around the right leg since it fell and leg popped off.
bro where can i get the turn table
Honestly this figure was just plain lazy kiryu is so much better
Trike 7117 :(
After this I.m a little worried about KiryuGoji......
Bad news: another disappointing figure from SHMA, and of a fan favorite no less
Good news: we get another LITTY review from Steven
10 hours of work labor? lmaooo
Where I live it would have to be more than 30 hrs
Like the tail articulation, but we don't see the tail articulate in the movie? I haven't seen 1974 but he doesn't do it in 1975...
+Traci Lombardi Well, it's a nice, usable touch. Always love those!
Yk… the figure sucks up close but far away it looks perfect
Yeah that paint job is sloppy
did you notice when you put a light on his head it lights the eyes up
I think that the head is slightly to small and the bottom jaw is to thick. Pretty good figure tho
If I'm going to get mechagodzilla that is posable. I would get the chogkin one
the eye beam is called the space beam
Would you still generally recommend this to someone like me who does not have any S.H. MonsterArts MechaGodzilla in the first place? Or am I actually better off spending $115 on Super MechaGodzilla?
+Switch Board get super.
Wow that bad.... Alrighty.
3 years later and yeah I still hate how weird and inaccurate this figure is
What it looks great
Nvm
Coming off the Poster Version this thing is almost painful to look at. To make matters worse its a $95 dollar figure that looks like a cheap vinyl.
To me this figure is a dud mostly because of the 1. It’s size, 2. The rings in it’s arms and 3. It’s lack of accessories which is incredibly disappointing for me
Neca needs to do a mechagodzilla (old or 2021) anyone would work
Why is there not an SHmonsterarts Godzilla '74 figure yet??? Liscensing issues?
I think I saw on a suit popularity poll, the 1970's version is considered one of the least popular. So the people at S.H. monsterarts must feel its not a priority. It should be soon though! If they make that figure, they can then say they have a godzilla from each decade!
@@aaronel4807 the 60s and 70s design suits are mostly bad, but the 74 and 75 are the only good suits I'd vouch on saying they would look good as figures
Part of me thinks the Chogokin Mechagodzilla 1974 seems to be the better figure than this and only drawbacks is limited articulation and the fact it's huge. More funny is as of this time of posting, the Chogokin is cheaper in the aftermarket than the SHMA (Including the Chrome Version).
hmmm makes you dink the finker, huh? Almost like we need to compare the two?
Unless you already made a vid that I'm not aware of, it could be a decent figure fight or compare vid (Aware you had the Chrome version at someone point from one of your older vids). I only have the Chogokin Mechagodzilla on hand currently and not the SHMA. I only state the comment earlier by face value and quality reasons from what I've seen from the SHMA Mecha here and other channels. But would be funny for the now 20 year old Chogokin was better than the SHMA outside the obvious drawbacks.
Wanted to add two more minor thing's if there ever was a figure fight and have no idea if the SHMA Mecha Godzilla can do this. But the Chogokin's knee spikes can come off and give off the appearance that he fired his missiles from there like in the all out attack he did against Godzilla and King Ceaser at the end of the 74 movie. Also the neck can plop off to also give off the effect of when Godzilla rips Mecha's head off at the end of the movie as well so you could consider both the mentioned thing's as a "Accessories" in the figure fight tab even if they already built into the figure.
My problem is that I can't buy it reason: 300$
Mine came without one ring
I want it so bad!
I swear you subtracted points for having 360 rotation at the waist....LOL!
+datto noooo that have it points
I don't care. I'm buying this figure regardless because MG1974 is one of my favorite Godzilla characters. Shut up and take my money!! Excellent review!!
I was the 666 like
The chogokin version is better.
