S.H.MonsterArts Megaguirus Evolution Set – Variance Comparison Megaguirus debuts in the S.H.MonsterArts line as an Evolution Set, and expectations are understandably high. Thankfully, this release does not disappoint. The articulation engineering is next level for a flying monster, the paint application is surprisingly colorful, and the sculpt was handled by original designer Shinichi Wakasa, giving the figure an extra stamp of authenticity. So how do these four copies compare?

The extras included are a stand set, the Meganula, the Meganulon, and stand attachment parts for the Meganula. The main stand and Meganula attachment parts are made from identical clear plastic. The Meganula and Meganulon are also painted consistently with light and dark browns. My only critique is that it may have been better to include a wire stand for the Meganula. However, considering how small these are, I’m not sure it would have been possible without permanently attaching them like the Singular Point Rodan flock. They likely chose this method because it allows collectors to place the Meganula directly onto Godzilla.

Articulation is phenomenal. Megaguirus utilizes the new extendable joints in the neck, allowing for excellent motion in all directions. The wings use a double barbell-like joint system that provides the best range of movement seen in a flying S.H.MonsterArts figure so far. The legs combine ball joints, swivels, and pins to allow for extremely dynamic posing, leagues beyond what Mothra or Battra previously implemented. There is no torso articulation, but due to how compact the body is, it isn't necessary. The tail more than compensates, utilizing flexible ABS with insane articulation that allows Megaguirus to curl nearly into a ball. The arm and claw articulation are also very well executed. Overall: Even though I spent much of this review highlighting the amount of variance present between these four figures, each one still stands as a strong representation of the character on its own. Megaguirus is not only an excellent representation of the kaiju, but also an incredibly fun figure to handle and pose. This is absolutely a figure of the year contender for the S.H.MonsterArts line. There’s still plenty of the year left to go, but at the moment, this is easily my favorite release so far. Don’t miss out.

The Toho Maniacs Dr. Serizawa Technicolor Ver. works very well as a companion piece for the S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (1954) [70th Anniversary Special Ver.]. Even though it comes from a completely different line, the Technicolor-inspired presentation blends naturally alongside the aesthetic of the S.H.MonsterArts release and helps create a display that feels rooted in the classic imagery of the original 1954 film. Since the original 1954 film was released in black and white, the Technicolor version offers an interesting interpretation of how elements from the film may have appeared in color while still remaining faithful to the original design seen onscreen. It gives the figure a unique presence on display without feeling disconnected from the source material. When displayed alongside the S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (1954) [70th ASV], the figure helps create a presentation that feels closer to classic promotional artwork and magazine imagery from the era rather than strictly recreating scenes directly from the film. While the figure itself is not articulated, the removable Oxygen Destroyer still allows for some cool display setups alongside the S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (1954) [70th ASV], especially for collectors wanting to recreate imagery inspired by the original film. To order this figure, head over to FROM JAPAN 🔗 shorturl.at/R8KHZ I’ve personally used FROM JAPAN for some time now and since many of the items I purchase are delicate collectibles, proper packaging and shipping are always extremely important. FROM JAPAN puts extra care into packaging shipments for international delivery. Collectibles can easily be damaged during transit if they are not packed properly, so it’s reassuring when items arrive securely packaged and protected. For anyone interested in importing items from Japanese marketplaces, auctions, or stores that normally do not ship internationally, it’s definitely a service worth checking out. To find out more information, you can watch this tutorial I’ve prepared. 🔗 youtu.be/dG9YW2lDR_c @onemapbyfromjapanen
