9 years later i can say that the figure still holds, a lot of the articulation on mine got looser and i discovered some really neat action going on, on the knees there's a shift in the knee joint allows the tusks to move forward and the lower leg to slide back it increased the range of motion a lot.
I'd ordered this figure on e-Bay, (at a very good price), & it came in the mail yesterday. However, I deliberately waited till today, (b/c it's my birthday), to open it. Before opening it out of the box, I'd watched your review to be sure of any fragile parts that I should be made aware of. WOW!! What a masterpiece!! This is my first S.H. Monster Arts figure & I'm now hooked on this toy series!!
I've been waiting months for this Guy to be released so I could get a better look at the structure of destroyahs body this is an awesome review and your awesome thanks for reviewing this Guy it realy gave me an idea of how destroyah is built once again your awesome
Great review as always! Your reviews are the reason my wallet doesn't hate me by picking up all these expensive figures. I can just live vicariously though your reviews. :D
Hi! Do you find any of the monsterarts figures to have any issues after your initial reviews? Like arms or heads coming off pretty easy? Anything of that nature other than the wing issues with Ghidorah? thx!
wow! Nice review! Also awesome Destroyah action figure! SH MonsterArts outdone themselves again! I'm so tempted to buy this now, but I want to save up and get this when I go to San Diego Comic Con. :)
Are the SH Monsterart figures sturdy? Like do they feel like they have some weight to them like a NECA figure? Thinking about getting this but it always bothers me when figures feel hollow. Also do all the joints come apart like a revoltech figure?
Just ordered mine and got the Burning Godzilla to match from Amazon today. I really can't wait for this bad boy! Though I have one question, how is the leg articulation? I don't expect much from it, but I wanted to know just in case.
I always wanted this monster arts figure and been doing research on it...a lot. But it is worth all that money Because I crave something that will last years and I will play with and never get tired of it. By the way your videos are so detailed you could probably be a movie director.
Wow, this figure is just so amazing! I will certainly save up some cash and get this, as Destoroyah is my favourite Kaiju. Your video was really helpful, as I didn't even realize how good the paint applications actually were. Totally worth the $185 BBTS is asking for.
He is Beautiful I am jealous I wish his eyes matched the ones he had in the movie too but yea where can you purchase this Bad boy and the price on him too $
I really love S.H monsterarts but I am only 12 so I have a limited budget. I would like to buy one of these figures sometime but wich one is the cheapest? I can't seem to find any under £100 pounds so can someone plz advise me on which one to get? Nice. Videos btw
I hope they re-release this figure down the line....i missed it and i dont want to pay the crazy prices they are asking now Anyone knows if they plan on releasing it again?
+Erick Gaudreault I'm not really sure if they will release Destoroyah, I really doubt they will. I don't think they even have a valid reason to release him as a repaint. Hopefully one will pop up that is not too expensive.
+DiegoDoom Maybe they can make a new one with an open chest piece and two 2 effects. One for the mouth and one for the chest. And a another accesory where it's the energy horn for slashing. Maybe they could do that
And ofc the regeneration ability though if I'm not mistaken if damaged at molecular level so like the T-1000 terminator he seems pretty screwed ... Say - would you say DESTOROYAH would also be deadly to the Millenium series monsters - what about Big-G 2000? Given Big-G 2000 has that nasty beam ray plus the nuke pulse or still, given DESTOROYAH was able to tank some Spiral Beams - he'd still be tough to kill? And not to annoy you or such BUT what if the T-1000 or TX went against DESTOROYAH?
I'm torn into two. For my birthday I can get a figure, it's between destroyah and kiryu(2003) but I'm not sure which to get. Which is the better figure? Which do you recommend (this will be my fifth SHMA fig)
The Kiryu is absolutely amazing. The tail is beautifully articulated and the sculpt is super detailed. It feels like it has true weight to it. Not even slightly flimsy. I don't have the destoroyah figure yet but plan to soon before he becomes like king ghidorah and ends up $400
I have both Kiryu (2003) and this guy. Both are amazing figures. I would get Destoryah first if you have the money to get both since it won't be long until he reaches out of print status.
Hello! Not that I'm being rude or trolling like an idiot but um - as much as Destoroyah is a personal favorite kaiju of mine - um would you say he's one of the most powerful monsters in the Tohoverse? And if so given would you say IF Goji was NOT dying and in melt-down mode - Destoroyah might have been tougher to defeat or for instance where he more or less bisected Goji with the laser katana horn and if it hadn't been for Goji's crazy melt-down condition...
so I have a couple of these figures (destroyah, Burning G, SpaceG,Battra, Mothra, and Godzilla Jr) my question is where do I get the ground "burst" effect part?
***** I've been conducting some research and I've been stuck on 2 SHMA figures, Gigan (2004), or Destroyah (Perfect Form). Which figure would you recommend I get first?
Thanks for Watching! My first recommendation is to pick up the character you like the best first. As of right now I think both figures are still at reasonable prices. If I had to pick I would go with Destoroyah.
I finally bought it in BBTS. The problem is that my credit card was declined, LOL. No worries, I'll just pay the bank and get the figure. I've waited for a few months, so waiting for an extra week should be something I can handle... I hope.
Oh and apologies not to bug you again BUT what I meant was suppose King Kong is scaled to 100 metres, 60000 tonnes and has his electrical powers and brute strength/speed - BUT BUT - Destoroyah is handicapped - so he's NOT allowed to reform/separate, no MICRO-OXYGEN BEAMS, no laser horn katana, no flight - Destoroyah is only allowed to use hand-to-hand combat and his tail to try to grapple/drain King Kong - couldn't King Kong have a chance? Or he's still gonna struggle?
Say - just um getting back to the regular Heisei Goji against Destoroyah - what about the nuke pulse? Wouldn't that be also deadly to Destoroyah or still Destoroyah is still pretty darned powerful? Um the Spiral Ray - but didn't it take at least 2-3 blows before Destoroyah started spewing out blood and then he got forced to retreat to reform ... YET did you notice where when Goji vamped up his power to the Death Spiral Ray - Destoroyah managed to take up to 3-4 vamped up Death Beams YET
YET he didn't seem to spew out fluids though he was forced to retreat or where Destoroyah - you know how he grappled Burning Goji and drained some of his powers through his tail - you reckon Destoroyah might have 'adapted' abit hence he didn't spew out blood even as Goji struck him with the deadly vamped up Spiral Ray if you know what I mean? Oh and not to bug you BUT what about DESTOROYAH against ... ORGA?! Could Orga absorb Destoroyah or the MICRO-OXYGEN might mess Orga badly up?
Hello again! Haha not that I'm whining or such BUT - haha - the only Destoroyah's I've got are the Bandai 1998 Destoroyah and the little Chibi Destoroyah that got released by Bandai Creation in August this year - you seen them? Almost everyone likes the Chibi Destoroyah toy figurine though I find the eyes abit silly looking ... its interesting this Destoroyah figure you got has black dark eyes rather than the 'chitinous' yellow eyes in the film...
Oh Orga's abilities? Well - he had the ability to 'essence absorb' the lifeforms of those he chose - he tried to copy Goji's Organizer G-1 (the secret to his regeneration) and he got 'mutated' as he couldn't absorb it properly ... and aside from that well, Orga can 'absorb' creatures, he has the shoulder kinetic force cannon, his UFO, his brute strength, high jump, large knuckles ... and a very, very very ... somewhat 'simple' mind ... :) But you reckon Destoroyah still takes it?
Fantastic review i got my one for christmas the only problem about this figure is the eyes too dark to see. Im thinking of painting yellow just like from the box cover thats the original colour of his eyes. A bit disappointed other that Destroyah very cool fantastic figure :)
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I agree with you, it was a bit of a let down that the eyes were not yellow in the film. Good Luck painting them!
9 years later i can say that the figure still holds, a lot of the articulation on mine got looser and i discovered some really neat action going on, on the knees there's a shift in the knee joint allows the tusks to move forward and the lower leg to slide back it increased the range of motion a lot.
Drinking game: every time he says fantastic, take a shot.
Thanks for Watching! Destoroyah is definitely fearsome.
Agree
Great Review! As always, love your intro. Fire Rodan's beam effect does work nicely.
I have one now waiting at home for me! Thanks for inspiring to get this one in particular, my favorite kaiju villain of ALL time!
Thanks for Watching! I would say Destoroyah.
I just purchased another figure because of your review. That figure is massive.
I finaly got mine, and i found that the midle extra toot are also articulated, is awesome
Can't wait to see your review on the new Destoroyah figure.
Can I just say that the opening of this video was just too damn awesome man, bravo. And because of it I will be buying this figure.
I'd ordered this figure on e-Bay, (at a very good price), & it came in the mail yesterday. However, I deliberately waited till today, (b/c it's my birthday), to open it.
Before opening it out of the box, I'd watched your review to be sure of any fragile parts that I should be made aware of.

Great review as always! Your reviews are the reason my wallet doesn't hate me by picking up all these expensive figures. I can just live vicariously though your reviews. :D
A very very great review :) specially, I really love your intro style :D keep it up
Awesome!!! I'm getting mine soon. Thanks for the review.
So does it have an accesory for da micro oxygen or does the special color have an accesory for dat?
The special color version is open for pre-order at BBTS and Anime Island!
Thankyou very much, this was exactly the answers I was looking for
Hi! Do you find any of the monsterarts figures to have any issues after your initial reviews? Like arms or heads coming off pretty easy? Anything of that nature other than the wing issues with Ghidorah? thx!
have you pre order the biollante Im so happy it come out.
wow! Nice review! Also awesome Destroyah action figure! SH MonsterArts outdone themselves again! I'm so tempted to buy this now, but I want to save up and get this when I go to San Diego Comic Con. :)
So epic looking, simply perfect! I just wish they would of added a ratchet joint or something in the wings. Great review btw
Nice Vid (Again) I got a question what did you use for the beam for destroyah?
Hi! Do the stands come with the figure to make him look like hes flying as you have displayed in video? - thx!
Did you have to heat up any parts on your Destoroyah? Mine's joints are pretty bulky to move, escpecially the shoulders, fingers, and legs.
Woah... He DOES dwarf the evolution set! I just got the set today. Amazing to say the least!
I like your reviews. Makes em want to do mine again. I have a lot of gaps in my SH monsterarts line I have to fill
Are the SH Monsterart figures sturdy? Like do they feel like they have some weight to them like a NECA figure?
Thinking about getting this but it always bothers me when figures feel hollow.
Also do all the joints come apart like a revoltech figure?
Any tips on making the tail stick to the figure? My Destoroyah's tail keeps falling off :(. other than that It is a very nice figure.
Awesome review! I want this so much *-*
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Awesome Review DOOM!!!! I got mine today too!! i will review mine and give my thoughts on this figure!! Great job bro.!!
Where do you get these figures? I haven't even bought one yet but I want to soon. Any help would be appreciated.
DESTROYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH with a batman logo face
Thanks for convincing me to buy this figure Diego
Thanks for Watching! I'm glad my review could help you in making a buying decision.
Do you plan on making reviews on the Revoltech figures?
Just ordered mine and got the Burning Godzilla to match from Amazon today. I really can't wait for this bad boy! Though I have one question, how is the leg articulation? I don't expect much from it, but I wanted to know just in case.
Great Review And Great News I'm Getting S.H Monsterarts Godzilla (Mint In Box or Near Mint) :D
I always wanted this monster arts figure and been doing research on it...a lot. But it is worth all that money Because I crave something that will last years and I will play with and never get tired of it. By the way your videos are so detailed you could probably be a movie director.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Wow, this figure is just so amazing! I will certainly save up some cash and get this, as Destoroyah is my favourite Kaiju. Your video was really helpful, as I didn't even realize how good the paint applications actually were. Totally worth the $185 BBTS is asking for.
Hey Nice video dude quick question. Which Is Your Favorite Godzilla And Gamera Monster ?
He is Beautiful I am jealous I wish his eyes matched the ones he had in the movie too but yea where can you purchase this Bad boy and the price on him too $
Epic Review Do You plan to get The S.H Monsterarts Godzilla 1964???
I really love S.H monsterarts but I am only 12 so I have a limited budget. I would like to buy one of these figures sometime but wich one is the cheapest? I can't seem to find any under £100 pounds so can someone plz advise me on which one to get? Nice. Videos btw
well if you like godzilla 2019 then i suggest you go buy that one it is only £60
I hope they re-release this figure down the line....i missed it and i dont want to pay the crazy prices they are asking now
Anyone knows if they plan on releasing it again?
+Erick Gaudreault I'm not really sure if they will release Destoroyah, I really doubt they will. I don't think they even have a valid reason to release him as a repaint. Hopefully one will pop up that is not too expensive.
+DiegoDoom Maybe they can make a new one with an open chest piece and two 2 effects. One for the mouth and one for the chest. And a another accesory where it's the energy horn for slashing. Maybe they could do that
They are actually re-releasing Destoroyah with yellow eyes, horn, and slight color changes. has accessories, but they are tanks.....
Spine Smith lies I saw it on eBay for 143 dollars but that is the time reviewers are going to review it
As a whole (Figure wise) which MonsterArts is better? Spacegodzilla or Destroyah?
Doom! Luv your reviews! I this fig is awesom! Got mine from hlj and he was in two pieces as well. But anyway awesome work!
And ofc the regeneration ability though if I'm not mistaken if damaged at molecular level so like the T-1000 terminator he seems pretty screwed ...
Say - would you say DESTOROYAH would also be deadly to the Millenium series monsters - what about Big-G 2000? Given Big-G 2000 has that nasty beam ray plus the nuke pulse or still, given DESTOROYAH was able to tank some Spiral Beams - he'd still be tough to kill?
And not to annoy you or such BUT what if the T-1000 or TX went against DESTOROYAH?
Hey Diego doom are you getting the sh monsterarts godzilla 1964 because if your the first person to get him can you review the box
I'm torn into two. For my birthday I can get a figure, it's between destroyah and kiryu(2003) but I'm not sure which to get. Which is the better figure? Which do you recommend (this will be my fifth SHMA fig)
The Kiryu is absolutely amazing. The tail is beautifully articulated and the sculpt is super detailed. It feels like it has true weight to it. Not even slightly flimsy. I don't have the destoroyah figure yet but plan to soon before he becomes like king ghidorah and ends up $400
I have both Kiryu (2003) and this guy. Both are amazing figures. I would get Destoryah first if you have the money to get both since it won't be long until he reaches out of print status.
Great Review are you gonna be doing a review of the SH monster arts king kong as well when its released?
I am gonna get this for my birthday in may along with battra!!! I hope its worth the money
Thanks for Watching! Destoroyah is definitely worth the money.
Hell Hath No Fury that matches Destoroyah! Nice Review!
Will you be getting the SH monster arts King Kong
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
You’re welcome
Where do you get the fire and explosion effects?!
Hey man I love ur vids especially this one how much did this one cost?
I got my destroyah for $25 with a custom horn katana effect for its head
Diego doom, were do you get the explosions?
Are you getting the evelotion set for destroyah?
how tall is this figure?
Hello! Not that I'm being rude or trolling like an idiot but um - as much as Destoroyah is a personal favorite kaiju of mine - um would you say he's one of the most powerful monsters in the Tohoverse? And if so given would you say IF Goji was NOT dying and in melt-down mode - Destoroyah might have been tougher to defeat or for instance where he more or less bisected Goji with the laser katana horn and if it hadn't been for Goji's crazy melt-down condition...
In the future please review the destroyah evolution forms
Also Did You Hear That They're Going To Make A S.H Monsterarts Kiryu (Mechagodzilla 3) ?
so I have a couple of these figures (destroyah, Burning G, SpaceG,Battra, Mothra, and Godzilla Jr) my question is where do I get the ground "burst" effect part?
Thanks for Watching! The burst effect part came with Ultra-Act Ultraman Gaia V2 as a first production run bonus. The set was reissued a while back.
ahh ok thanks!
Where to buy it?
which one is better spacegodzilla, king ghidorah, or destoroyah?
Just paint the eyes? :)
i got this figure for Christmas and this figure is good
Thanks for Watching! That's great to hear!
***** I've been conducting some research and I've been stuck on 2 SHMA figures, Gigan (2004), or Destroyah (Perfect Form). Which figure would you recommend I get first?
Thanks for Watching! My first recommendation is to pick up the character you like the best first. As of right now I think both figures are still at reasonable prices. If I had to pick I would go with Destoroyah.

Ugh, Mine got snagged by customs -_-;.Excellent review as usual Mr Doom.
Love the the review!
Perfection.

Me lokey nice review :D
Fantastic review i got my one for christmas the only problem about this figure is the eyes too dark to see. Im thinking of painting yellow just like from the box cover thats the original colour of his eyes. A bit disappointed other that Destroyah very cool fantastic figure :)
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I agree with you, it was a bit of a let down that the eyes were not yellow in the film. Good Luck painting them!
Honestly, I think he looks much more menacing with darker eyes. But that's just me.
I agree Caleb. Even though the eyes aren't accurate, those eyes add to overall demonic look of Destoroyah.
Sh monster arts destroyah
You are very welcome DiegoDoom
DESTROYAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
Really hope this figure reduces to low price
Are the wings as fragile as King Ghidorah's?
Samushamush Thanks for Watching! Nope, Destoroyah's wings are not as fragile as King Ghidorah's.
Oh. Thanks!
