The right arm was changed to reveal gears and a different shoulder. It was given a new hand to make it look like it could become the drill. It comes with a ''Tokyo S.O.S.'' style backpack and wrist-mounted rail guns, a battle-damaged head with one eye, and a drill part.

Revision as of 20:21, 26 January 2021

Tamashii Nations Logo.gif

S.H. MonsterArts is a line of super-articulated action figures made by Tamashii Nations, the collector's division of Bandai. Beginning in November of 2011, the line initially started out as a Godzilla-focused assortment before eventually shifting focus to include other franchises such as Alien, Predator, and Monster Hunter. The figures are distributed to the United States via BlueFin Industries with the sole exception being figures exclusively sold through the Bandai Premium Web Shop.

Main line

2011

Godzilla

The first figure in the line based on the Godzilla suit used in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. It was released on November 19, 2011 in Japan and December 20th, 2011 to the United States. A "first edition" release came with a blue atomic breath effect and a radiation wave base while subsequent issues were replaced with a second edition lacking accessories and packaged a smaller box. A reissue of the "second edition" variant was released in summer of 2012. The figure was redecoed into the Meltdown Godzilla Comic Con Explosion exclusive.

Mechagodzilla

Released December 3, 2011. Accessories included a mega-buster ray, an interchangeable plasma grenade lens, and optional flight parts. The figure was compatible with the Bandai Premium Web Shop Exclusive Garuda set which could plug onto the back. In 2017 the figure was reissued with Garude and sporting a more metallic paint job as Super Mechagodzilla.

Godzilla Effects & Toho Ultimate Weapons Pack

A Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusive released in December of 2011, this set features a red atomic ray for Godzilla, multiple military vehicles, the Super X2 and an assortment of Tamashii Stage Act arms and two display bases for the arms.

2012

UX-01-92 Garuda

Released in 2012 as a Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusive. Accessories include parts to combine it with the Mechagodzilla figure, a display stand featuring the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center logo, G-Crusher cables for Mechagodzilla and weapon effects.

SpaceGodzilla

Released on March 24, 2012 in Japan and April 24, 2012 in the United States. Accessories include a Corona Beam effect, a crystalline effect piece and Tamashii Stage Act arm to hold the beam. Many collectors have reported the paint on the shoulder crystals to chip over time. The figure was repainted in 2018 as part of a Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusive set with LittleGodzilla.

MOGUERA

Released on May 12, 2012 in Japan and June 12, 2012 in the United States. Accessories include plasma cannon effect parts, Spiral Grenade Missile effect parts, pieces to replicate the flight mode, and two Tamashii Stage Act arms with city bases. The U.S. release's box reads "MOGUERA," with no periods in front of the letters and a "U," while the Japanese release box reads "M.O.G.E.R.A.," with periods in front of each letter and without a "U", due to the Japanese acronym for the mech's name simply being Mobile Operations Godzilla Expert Robot Aero-type.

LittleGodzilla

A Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusive, LittleGodzilla was released on June 15, 2012 in Japan and July 15, 2012 in the United States. Accessories include four crystals and two display stands.

Meltdown Godzilla (Comic-Con Explosion)

A redeco of the Godzilla figure, this figure was released on July 12, 2012 and was an exclusive release at San Diego Comic Con International 2012. The box features exclusive art by Yasushi Torisawa depicting Godzilla attacking the SDCC convention center.

Fire Rodan

Released on July 14, 2012 in Japan and August 12, 2012 in the United States. Accessories include two exclusive stand bases, a Tamashii Stage Act arm, a Uranium Heat Beam, a red Spiral Heat Ray intended for the Godzilla figure, and a damaged Mechagodzilla head. A prototype for a brown variant of the figure based on Rodan's normal form in the film was seen on display alongside the Mechagodzilla figure, but has not seen release.

King Ghidorah

Released on September 29, 2012 in Japan and October 29, 2012 in the United States. Accessories include three gravity beams, a display stand for said beams and three Tamashii Stage Act arms. Many initial reports of this figure featured its wings snapping at the base due to a fragile construction in the joints. Care must be taken when handling the wings and it is strongly cautioned to either refrain from moving them or to move them at their bases slowly to prevent any damage. This figure was repainted in 2015 as a Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusive Poster Color version.

Godzilla (1995)

Released November 30, 2012 in Japan and December 30, 2012 in the United States, this figure is an entirely new mold from the initial Godzilla release, complete with expanded range of articulation. Accessories include two Maser Freeze tanks (an MBT-MB92 and a CLT-95) and two interchangable claws. This figure was repainted multiple times, first as the Godzilla 1995 Birth Version in 2014, then as the Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusives "Ultimate Burning Godzilla" in 2016, and the Neon Genesis Evangelion-inspired repaint dubbed Godzilla feat. Eva-01, and Noriyoshi Ohrai Poster Version both released in 2017.

Godzilla Junior

Released December 14, 2012 as a Bandai Premium Web Shop exclusive. Accessories include two helicopters, two pairs of alternate blades, and two wire stands.

2013

Destoroyah

Representing the titular antagonist of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah in his demonic final form, this figure comes in a long box with no accessories. It was released on February 27, 2013.

Destoroyah Evolution Set

Released on July 31, 2013, the Destoroyah Evolution Set includes Destoroyah's juvenile, aggregate, and flying forms, as well as an alternate head for the aggregate form. The juvenile or "crab" form figure is noticeably inaccurate to the film, featuring crab-like claws on the front of its body and two spear-like claws extending from its back, features exclusive to the aggregate form. It is possible that this figure is meant to represent the multiple small aggregate Destoroyahs that attacked Godzilla in the film rather than the monster's juvenile forms.

Biollante

Representing Biollante's final form from Godzilla vs. Biollante, this figure was released in November 2013 in Japan, and December 15, 2013 in the U.S. Biollante comes with a multi-colored light-up chest. Biollante's box is a solid cardboard box similar to Godzilla 1964's box, and she comes with no effect parts or accessories.

Godzilla 2000 Millennium

A Godzilla 2000 figure was first seen at Summer Wonfest 2013. The accessories are once again omitted.

It was released December 28, 2013.

Godzilla (2014)

Godzilla Effect Pack 2

The second effect pack was released in 2014. It came with 4 damaged buildings, 1 exploding beam type, 1 basic beam type, a fire stand, and a cracking ground stand.

Toho Ultimate Weapons Pack 2

The third effect pack was released in 2014, and includes the Super X3, 4 MBT-MB92s, 4 MBAW-93s, 3 ASTOL-MB93s, 2 damaged buildings, a baseplate and stand for the Super X3. It also comes with the cadmium missile pod and freeze ray for the Super X3. The buildings can be used as stands for the ASTOLs or the Super X3. The stand has the same connection that was used for the flying vehicles in the first effect pack.

Type-3 Kiryu (Heavy Arms/High Mobility)

Kiryu, based on his Modified Type-3 Kiryu appearance from Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., was released in October 2014 as a web exclusive.
