The Playmates one is far better than the Bandai one that they released a few years back. It's really well detailed, but man....there is something about that face that just feels off to me. The snout sort of reminds me of the Beast of Hollow Mountain dino that is in that movie. I would have loved to have seen what Playmates would have done with Varan if they kept doing to the Showa monsters.
@@mgkiryuu While I dont have the 6" MMS Goro, I do have the 8" one from some years back. But your right, Playmates feels like, in terms of quality and paint what makes a good kaiju vinyl. I feel like their sculpters get one photo for each monster they work on. There is always an angle where they look good, but move that angle and you see some warped proportions. Baragon's skull, Gorosaurus' snout...I think 56' Rodan is good, but look at their catalog and almost all of their classic monsters have some sort of distortion.
Good stuff! I’ve subbed.
@@sofubisamurai Super appraciative! Thank you! And welcome!
