Man I relate so much to the title of this video. I used to buy every release that I saw, until it started to get too overwhelming and it drained a lot of money that I could be using for another purpose. All in all, I've had to narrow down my collection to only a few holy grails. And I couldn't be more happier
Cherry picking with this line can be so hard to do considering how good they are and look however, it’s kind of necessary considering how popular and big the line is these days. I don’t blame you obviously, heck I ended up passing on the Singular Point Rodan and Jet Jaguar because I have no emotional attachment to the show or designs. That money will be better spent on kaiju I do love like Showa Gigan or Hedorah.
@@ScorpioCesarAgreed on that Cesar, these S.H figure lines are awesome but getting so expensive and some releases to be honest don't come out as great as old releases which makes that high price hurt even more 😥. So now we just have to be more picky on what we put our money on in terms of these figures. I know I've had to be more picky with S.H Monsterarts even though I just got into it about 2 years ago, and there are even some instances with S.h.figuarts. Especially with the Ultra and Kamen Rider line, though Buyee helps mitigate some of that 😥.
Sh monsterarts has always been my favorite toy line, while having so little due to how expensive they are. Either way, I’ll never quit loving this line
Oh man I was just rocking the Orb soundtrack the other night. Gigan is a definite must, I’ve been looking forward to more Showa releases and he’s like top Showa. Hopefully we get that Showa Godzilla soon.
The inflation really is an issue, these were already going for premium prices in the 1/12th realm.. the recent releases have been so high that I've had to pass.
I have all 3 releases of the Sh Monsterarts Godzilla 2002. The 2018 original had a weird tale and shoulder, the 2020 reissue had messed up eyes, and the recent 2023 release is similar to the 2020 version with an improved sculpt and paint scheme but has the same eyes. What annoys me is that all 3 versions have consistent advantages and disadvantages and this shouldn’t have been a thing with the high price and three attempts. I ended up dissembling them and I rebuilt them together with the best parts of all 3 into a perfect figure but as a buyer I shouldn’t of had to go to this length. I just hope that the inevitable Godzilla 2003 from tokyo SOS fixes these issues, but they’re probably just going to add the chest scar to the 2002 sculpt and charge more for it.
That's interesting, never really noticed a tail and shoulder issue with my original 2018 release, granted your mileage will vary. I do feel the eyes left a bit to be desired on the original but it's cool that you managed to custom your own of the three and makes the best out of a messy situation. I ended up going through three of the original 1994 Godzilla, 1 first issue and two reissues (no beam) and ended up displaying the reissue with the improved eyes but the reissue has an issue with his left hand falling off too easily. I don't think they will ever be consistent.
@@ScorpioCesar the 2023 release is probably the best based on its sculpt, it just had derp eyes. The 2018 ver is the second best and the 2020 ver was the worst. Also the reissues had a much smaller production run than the original so they’re going to become more rare over time. Also i can never find a 1994 reissue. I’ve had the first release with the beam for awhile but the eyes on that one weren’t too bad compared to others I’ve seen
Seeing that you have older sh monsterarts figures makes me think that you may know good websites to order them from so i have to ask this: Is there a website that sells type 3 kiryu heavy arms (aka 2003 version aka tokyo sos version) for a cheap price (for example, a website that sells that figure for 150$)? I want one so bad, but every time i go on ebay, i find one that costs 250$ or 500$. And i don't want to spend that much money
I remember having paid about $200 for Heavy Arms Kiryu, and that was back in 2016/2017 when I did my unboxing for him. Unfortunately there isn't really a cheap way to buy majority of the older releases for a decent price anymore. I'd suggest holding out till they maybe reissue him at some point, they seem to be doing it for everyone else. Best bet is to check out a facebook group: facebook.com/groups/267752556664153
Im just getting into shmonsterarts because I’m gonna try and sell some stuff like my hiya toys Godzilla and give someone else the chance to have my figure because it’s sold out everywhere
Although this line is fantastic, the main reason why I'm backing out is due to how little nostalgia they bring me. Unless they release a movie accurate millennium Goji, the line, to me, lacks soul. Again, great line, dedicated sculpter like Sakai, but it's always missed something for me. With so many interests and the prices, it's difficult to keep up with every single release (of multiple franchises). May pick it up again with a mireGoji release...

Absolutely agree, I don't think I'll never outright stop collecting this line until it wraps up.
Sh monsterarts can’t go now we need it for our stop motion animation
The line isn’t going anywhere trust me.
Ok@@ScorpioCesar
Don't worry. We have hiya toys now
Omg I want to meet vinnie in person even more he is just as much funny as he is in his videos and hid irl appearances
So are you selling your sh monsterarts figures.
Just this set, and maybe Gamera 1999
Gigan is a must buy, man! Looks like I'm not the only one that plays Ultraman Geed's transformation theme in the car while in a hurry :)
Oh man I was just rocking the Orb soundtrack the other night. Gigan is a definite must, I’ve been looking forward to more Showa releases and he’s like top Showa. Hopefully we get that Showa Godzilla soon.
Why’d did this feel so sad lol 😂😭
that was my goal when I made it. It was sad letting these two go so it felt right.
The inflation really is an issue, these were already going for premium prices in the 1/12th realm.. the recent releases have been so high that I've had to pass.
Every release now always seems to be at least $100. It can get pretty brutal especially when there are other lines you want to collect.

@@ScorpioCesar thanks for the advice
I wish i could afford an sh monsterarts spacegoji :(
I’m hoping you will be able to someday soon.
I really wish these weren’t so expensive
Same here, but they are adult collectibles. Granted, they are getting out of reach for majority of those who already collect them. See Iris.
Aw look at you guys.
Everyone gets what they want.
This almost feels like the end of your channel and life.
Haha! I’m not going anywhere, and neither is the channel. 😉

so sad
Im just getting into shmonsterarts because I’m gonna try and sell some stuff like my hiya toys Godzilla and give someone else the chance to have my figure because it’s sold out everywhere
Always great when you can help a fellow collector out!
@@ScorpioCesar sure is man
bro when you leave sh monsterarts 1 month later bandai was introduce sh monsterarts godzilla 1972
I'm not leaving the line. XD

Interesting how you mention the lack of nostalgia for you with this line. Was Godzilla 2000 your first Godzilla movie? I’m genuinely curious!
Bro shma it’s not going away
Who said anything about it going away?😂
I hunk I know who nvm I thought you was gonna keepnit at a cliff hanger on who it was
Give me your figs
But Ik it’s hard to keep up with collecting.
Somethings gotta give. Gotta sell a little here and there when it matters. Sell some of a hobby to collect a hobby. The cycle continues,. 😂
But I think you’re still gonna be more figures
I've been figured out?
Its not going
Whats not going?
Ha, ha nice try
I'm saying goodbye to this channel sorry brother only here for Godzilla
You obviously didn't watch the video to it's entirety so why are you here...brother?
Bro did not watch the video 💀
