Your Shin Gumzilla is the really the biggest issue I have seen thus far. Great review. Covered everything. I love mine. Glad I didn't really pay much attention to what others were saying before I did my review because I kinda wanna go back and do a second look at this release, not so much at mine but the release in general. But I'm glad I did my review before hearing the criticism because I gave mine a fair assessment based on my own opinion. Apparently an opinion don't count for anything because some people like to shit on others for liking this. The only thing I could critique about mine is the paint is glossy. I didn't even think about it until one of my buddies saw mine in person and then I was like "oh yea, it IS really glossy". Other than that, I love mine. But, you make a lot of great points so it's give me another side of the spectrum to think about. Bam!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support Rich! That is one of the reasons it took me so long to make this review once I got my figures. At first I was too easy and then I felt like I was too harsh. I stepped away from the figure for a day or two and came back with a fair mind. I like the figure, but I don't love it because of the paint apps. I'm sure they will fix it with a repaint.
Ryan James wow now i know why you are so stupid Look kid if you don't have money to buy the figure try getting something more cheap because he isn't gonna give his Godzilla to you Grow up bro the world doesn't spin around you Also you say you're nine but you are acting like a 3 year old kid
Ryan James 1st you have a terrible grammar im not even American and i speak English better 2nd you are the only one crying here telling me to fuck off and honestly im not getting offended 3rd im not trying to be anyone's boss where did you get that?
I so glad my figure looks nice. All of the teeth are painted good, and there’s a perfect amount of red in all of the scars of shins skin. I was so surprised on how big this figure was! Awesome review!
One thing to note: I thought Bandai made this figure with a reddish plastic and did a *blackwash* to him; a huge inaccuracy on Bandai's part. P.S. Good thing you bought two--you could've ended up with only a Shin Gumzilla!
Only reason I'd want to get this is if I could actually paint over it myself, or if I knew anyone who could. There've been some glorious repaints of this figure that truly bring out its high level of detail with a balance of blackened skin and actually red muscle fibers. But as is, it's an easy pass.
Fantastic review! I love how in depth you went with this figure. It will certainly help me in my decision on wether or not I will pick this guy up. Thanks so much!
I've heard alot of ppl complain about this figure mostly because it looks nothing like the prototype, the thing is no figure will ever look as good as their prototypes because toy companies take more time on the prototypes and they actually hand paint them. I was lucky to get one that doesn't fall apart and has a very good paint application. I give this figure a 10/10.
Im one of the few that got a 100% perfect Shin Godzilla...i love it so much, it looks absolutely amazing aside my other SH Monsterarts! Its unacceptable from them to sell such a bad quality figures though, i wish everyone had a perfect figure like mine, because im telling you, this figure is seriously amazing when you dont have those QC problems
they will probably do a "spitfire" version so that they can fix the paint, sculpt and articulation issues and give us several effects such as the atomic laser beam so that they can make even more money
Gamerafighter76 at least I have the good quality with this figure. Eyes looking in same direction, the red paint is on his body and no paint chipping or gaps
It’s actually really good that the pupils are a bit goofy because he has not eye lids and he can move his eyes and the eyes had one looking somewhere and the other looking somewhere else
Great job on the review! You really went into great detail to show off the defective figure. I think the gumzilla you got is one of the worst shin figure ive seen
in all honesty, I think the only thing I can complain about Is the prices for it. otherwise this is one awesome addition to the MonsterArts line, Next we gotta go with Kamata Kun and Shinagawa Kun.
Great review brother!!! I just bought the movie on Blue Ray and it has really reignited my passion for Godzilla and Kaiju movies in general. I absolutely love the look of Shin Godzilla and have to,get this figure. I currently have the Neca version but I really want the Monster Arts offering. I just currently can't afford the damn scalper prices he's going for. BTW if you ever want to sell your crappy version for a fair price let me know. I don't care that it isn't perfect and it would give me a representation of a figure I love and I know the money would be going back into the hobby I love and respect. Not to mention generating more videos I love to watch. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work brother...
You could fix that mid section on the tail but getting some rubber gloves, and cut them to fit around the ball joint and it should make it really resistant to movement and probably keep it from coming out so easily.
Heh, not even the ever-enthousiastic DiegoDoom can excuse the shoddy paint apps on this figure. This is sculpt-wise one of the best SH Monsterarts, but quality and paint-wise, this guy is easily one of the worst.
Paint job on this figure the literal interpretation of "shit his the fan". Had I chose to buy this figure, I would need to repaint it myself. I like this figure otherwise, but there are still a number of problems with accurate anatomy. However, Shin Godzilla must have the most complicated anatomy of any kaiju, so I would imagine it would take the master of master sculptors to deliver us a faithful representation.
Nice and thorough review, man! I personally think it's perfectly fine to have such bizarre different looking eyes, cos its like that in the movie and its so Anno-sensei's style to play with weird eyeballs in his creatures. I mean compared to the previous godzillas where it has a certain anger on his face, shin godzilla has no emotion, just a mindless horrific looking giant destroying tokyo with his spine chiller smile. Truly the best godzilla imho. Cheers!
It's a pretty cool figure... Not 100% accurate but it's the only posable fig of Shin Goji so it's the best we have. I wish the lower jaw can split in half tho, like in the movie. I do understand that by having that may be a fragility issue. Great review by the way.
Man, I've been lovin' these reviews. Really informative! Also. I was wondering if you would ever be interested in doing a Top 10 of the Godzilla/Kaiju figures that you have? I've been thinking about getting into collecting more and knowing some of your favorites might help me get a good idea of where to start.
I think I would say at the absolute most $120. I know that’s high, but I’m considering how popular the figure is and if I will have to chance to get a new one again.
I really don't care about paint. I mostly buy SHMA figures just to pose and I never identify paint aps. Yeah it's a problem but I still love this figure just because it's so big and bulky and it's tail is so long and detailed.
Hello DIEGO DOOM your reviews are always fantastic. I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me where I could possibly buy the building pieces you use for the environment while reviewing? I can't find them anywhere.
I'm not sure about this figure, it feels like they rush this figure. I just get this as a collectible, but is it really worth buying this one? It like "I gotta have all S.H. MonsterArts!" I'm trying to collect them all but some are becoming so expensive and rare. I only have three so far.
I got super lucky with mine, his teeth look good, his neck is not nearly as red as most and id say, excluding certain lighting, it looks like it matches. Also, and this is the big one, his eyes aren't googly. They aren't looking forward but both symmetrically look out to the side like his 2nd and 3rd form. So i am super happy with my version but i can definitely see why this figure gets so much hate
It's kind of interesting watching you bash on a figure. I don't think I have ever scene you do that. lol It's nice to see that you don't give S.H. MonsterArts unconditional love. Also, did you ever bother with the Shin Gojira reissue? Or was it not really any different enough for you to spend a TON of money on.
This is a very informative review. It would be great if we could get a repaint that looks like the Banpresto vinyl as well as a purple highlight variant.
Hey Diego, I want to start a S.H Monsterarts collection but I need some help! I need a monster that will be the first figure in my collection, do you think is should just get whatever figure I like and I'm able to get or is there a certain figure that is good for beginners in the series! Also I loved this video, definitely convinced me to not get Shin Godzilla, it's to much for the risks of mistakes that the figure could have, I don't want a Shin Gumzilla!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! You are right the choice is really up to you. To kick things off I would recommend starting with G95 Rebirth.
Monsterarts are normally cheapest when preorders first open, or when in the preorder sate in general. AmiAmi had Shin for $85 when it was up fro preorder.
Great review, I plan on getting this figure mainly for the articulation, and hopefully a somewhat decent paint job. Otherwise I'll be picking up other Shin Godzilla figures(X-Plus, 1st) for my best representation of the design.
the day that DiegoDoom sounds depressed and disappointed, is the day I never wanted to see.....
heheh316 look at his voice back in 2012
Yeah. Checkout his review on spacegodzilla. You can really hear the tired, sad effects.
well thats vary nice of you

Ryan James no you little six year old he won't give it away for a little Whiney kid
Ryan James ukyyugofyuk
Ryan James wow now i know why you are so stupid
Look kid if you don't have money to buy the figure try getting something more cheap because he isn't gonna give his Godzilla to you
Grow up bro the world doesn't spin around you
Also you say you're nine but you are acting like a 3 year old kid
Ryan James 1st you have a terrible grammar im not even American and i speak English better
2nd you are the only one crying here telling me to fuck off and honestly im not getting offended
3rd im not trying to be anyone's boss where did you get that?
Gumzilla: I’m the worst shin Godzilla figure in existence
Playmate shin: *allow me to introduce my self*
Playmates Spacegodzilla: hold my G-cells
Gumzilla: It's almost as if I don't have any teeth
Playmates: It's almost as if I only have teeth
I so glad my figure looks nice. All of the teeth are painted good, and there’s a perfect amount of red in all of the scars of shins skin. I was so surprised on how big this figure was! Awesome review!
Who’s should be a better meme
Shin gumzilla
Or
Kamata kun
Gumzilla
gUmZilLa
Oh wait, I forgot about Kevin
Gumzilla XD
Shin gumzilla
It's funny how "Shin Gumzilla" has the teeth perfectly sculpted and on the other Shin Godzilla isn't
Poor Shin-Givitis.
awww man.. didn't expect to have this quality from SH Monsterarts :(
S.H. MonsterArts, you've screwed up on this one BIG time.
DiegoDoom said "nice release" instead of "another fantastic release"...
That's when they should know they're losing their touch.
I am still getting this figure because its a nice Godzilla
One thing to note: I thought Bandai made this figure with a reddish plastic and did a *blackwash* to him; a huge inaccuracy on Bandai's part.
P.S. Good thing you bought two--you could've ended up with only a Shin Gumzilla!
Only reason I'd want to get this is if I could actually paint over it myself, or if I knew anyone who could. There've been some glorious repaints of this figure that truly bring out its high level of detail with a balance of blackened skin and actually red muscle fibers. But as is, it's an easy pass.
Nice review! The figure you got actually has pretty good paint compared to other ones
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Fantastic review! I love how in depth you went with this figure. It will certainly help me in my decision on wether or not I will pick this guy up. Thanks so much!

7:44 20 years after end of evangelion and hideaki anno still cant resist the urge for some good female genetalial imagery
the best S.H Monsterarts shin godzilla review at the moment! Thanks Diego!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I sincerely appreciate your comment!
Im one of the few that got a 100% perfect Shin Godzilla...i love it so much, it looks absolutely amazing aside my other SH Monsterarts!
Its unacceptable from them to sell such a bad quality figures though, i wish everyone had a perfect figure like mine, because im telling you, this figure is seriously amazing when you dont have those QC problems
I’m in love with the model
This guy is luck based, you can either get gold or shit!
Or golden shit.
Damian Cossetto You mean the exclusive releases for the repaint to go along with the DVD
oh my god the sculpting is just beautifull
hurry up jobby you need to review this one
they will probably do a "spitfire" version so that they can fix the paint, sculpt and articulation issues and give us several effects such as the atomic laser beam so that they can make even more money
When you said 'Super LONG and heavy'I was laughing
Wow Bandi nailed it......amazing likeness....Great reviews as always man, enjoy watching them!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Thanks. I'd waited for the eventual Special Colour Edition with the glowing violet purple effects.
I really hope the repaint doesn't let us down as much as this one did; I'm waiting till the repaint to get this figure.
Gamerafighter76 at least I have the good quality with this figure. Eyes looking in same direction, the red paint is on his body and no paint chipping or gaps
I wish I have all four Godzilla (ShodaiGoji,LegendaryGoji,ShinGoji and Godzilla Earth) S.H MonsterArts Figure
Great review Deigo, that Shin Gumzilla just breaks my heart to pieces. How did that happen?!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
It’s actually really good that the pupils are a bit goofy because he has not eye lids and he can move his eyes and the eyes had one looking somewhere and the other looking somewhere else
The only thing I'm not happy with is the glossyness for the paint everything else is fantastic!
Dude, you should totally do a stop motion parody of the trailers called "Shin Gumzilla"!
That is a fantastic idea!
By the way Diego, what monsters from the Godzilla franchise would you personally like to see in MonsterArts form?
Great job on the review!
You really went into great detail to show off the defective figure.
I think the gumzilla you got is one of the worst shin figure ive seen
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
I'm just gonna wait for the Neca version.
in all honesty, I think the only thing I can complain about Is the prices for it.
otherwise this is one awesome addition to the MonsterArts line, Next we gotta go with Kamata Kun and Shinagawa Kun.
I have my hopes for a Shin Godzilla repaint. Love the review.
Me too! Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Great review brother!!! I just bought the movie on Blue Ray and it has really reignited my passion for Godzilla and Kaiju movies in general. I absolutely love the look of Shin Godzilla and have to,get this figure. I currently have the Neca version but I really want the Monster Arts offering.

Not to mention generating more videos I love to watch. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work brother...
+Toy Man 1976 Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my Shin Gumzilla just yet.
the good thing is that NECA is releasing their own Shin Godzilla figure, thats what im getting since i cant afford this figure
You could fix that mid section on the tail but getting some rubber gloves, and cut them to fit around the ball joint and it should make it really resistant to movement and probably keep it from coming out so easily.
when you said it was a nice film I was like 😨 what....just..... what. great review as always, I love your sh monsterarts reviews
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
I was just thinking, "I wonder if Diego posted shma 2016 yet?" When I saw this
Heh, not even the ever-enthousiastic DiegoDoom can excuse the shoddy paint apps on this figure. This is sculpt-wise one of the best SH Monsterarts, but quality and paint-wise, this guy is easily one of the worst.
Paint job on this figure the literal interpretation of "shit his the fan". Had I chose to buy this figure, I would need to repaint it myself. I like this figure otherwise, but there are still a number of problems with accurate anatomy.

I flipping love your reviews, keep the amazing work up! 👍
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
I love the poses for shin Godzilla
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
"shin GUMzilla" LOL
Great feedback, man. I preordered the new re-release, so hopefully that comes with fewer flaws.
The paint is definitely what detracts from the figure
Nice and thorough review, man! I personally think it's perfectly fine to have such bizarre different looking eyes, cos its like that in the movie and its so Anno-sensei's style to play with weird eyeballs in his creatures. I mean compared to the previous godzillas where it has a certain anger on his face, shin godzilla has no emotion, just a mindless horrific looking giant destroying tokyo with his spine chiller smile. Truly the best godzilla imho. Cheers!
Also they should have thrown in the nuke breath head where its lower jaw is splitting!
Diego doom that is not a bad figure but the other one is not a good one but the other one is a great one to have in your Godzilla collection
This is a great review it helped me a lot!!!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I'm glad my review was helpful
DiegoDoom Very Helpful!
xD
u do the best figure reviews man. great job.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Hopefully i get a good painted one
Hey DiegoDoom! I'd like to buy an Shmonsterarts but what shm is the most worth it at its price. Im thinking of 1954 but what do you think?
I would say pick up Godzilla 1995 Rebirth.
DiegoDoom thanks for the reply! Btw ur videos are very entertaining,the editing and camera work is amazing
Thank you very much!
Good. Figure actualy i will buy that fig cool👍but the gaps😕 i like the paint and sculpt graet review 😎$
+Ma. Lourdes Timbang Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
It's a pretty cool figure...
Not 100% accurate but it's the only posable fig of Shin Goji so it's the best we have.
I wish the lower jaw can split in half tho, like in the movie. I do understand that by having that may be a fragility issue.
Great review by the way.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
My SH Shin turned out to look good
great review. i love my figure but the paint job was ass! so i painted it with some flat tamiyas and BAM!!! fixed!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! That is cool you were able to repaint your Shin.
I really want to see a orga figure made that be cool and a proper Godzilla 2000 figure
Great review as always. I'll probably wait for the neca Shin Godzilla though.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
very great review! especially with the size comparison. top notch sir
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
They should sell paint to the buyers incase of these incidents so they can correct these flaws until they are fulfilled.
Man, I've been lovin' these reviews. Really informative! Also. I was wondering if you would ever be interested in doing a Top 10 of the Godzilla/Kaiju figures that you have? I've been thinking about getting into collecting more and knowing some of your favorites might help me get a good idea of where to start.
Thanks for Watching and being a long time supporter. I will do a top ten.
This Video Is Uploaded In My Birthday!..
Happy Birthday!!!!
DiegoDoom Thank You..
Diego Doom theres actually a S.H Monster arts Godzilla second form
Yup, they will not be released until March.
I know the figure has some bad paint job but I really want this
I got this figure on Christmas! I am also dissatisfied with the paint apps, but luckily I didn't have shin gumzilla
Sorry to hear that.
YEAH! THE TAIL HAS A FAAAAAAACE!
May be some flaws but a must buy for a collector like myself👌🏻
Nathan Byington Far from a must-buy.
Nathan Byington I’m planning to buy it and
Mecha King Ghidorah
What would be your top price of getting one? Because I think I found a good price.
I think I would say at the absolute most $120. I know that’s high, but I’m considering how popular the figure is and if I will have to chance to get a new one again.
Awesome I found him for $90!!!
Thanks DiegoDoom! I ordered him yesterday!
I really don't care about paint. I mostly buy SHMA figures just to pose and I never identify paint aps. Yeah it's a problem but I still love this figure just because it's so big and bulky and it's tail is so long and detailed.
Hello DIEGO DOOM your reviews are always fantastic. I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me where I could possibly buy the building pieces you use for the environment while reviewing? I can't find them anywhere.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! I will make a vlog about it soon.
DiegoDoom thank you for the reply just one more quick question I saw the reviewe of the godzilla 2014 spit fire do you think it will be worth it?
I'm not sure about this figure, it feels like they rush this figure. I just get this as a collectible, but is it really worth buying this one?
It like "I gotta have all S.H. MonsterArts!" I'm trying to collect them all but some are becoming so expensive and rare. I only have three so far.
Your camera zoomed in so much you can see little fuzzy things lol
You said you got this figure for only 86 dollars. Can you please tell me exactly where you got this figure?
Thanks for another quality review! I know this isn't Godzilla related, but have you seen the new Figma Guyver III coming out in July?
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! Yup! I preordered him this morning.
I'm not paying $150 AUD plus postage to get a Shin Gumzilla. Definitely waiting for NECA's Shin Godzilla release.
Same. I gave up on trying to find this figure for a decent price, and then there's the off chance of having an atrocious paint job. -Damian
Good review and thanks for the heads up,
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
I got super lucky with mine, his teeth look good, his neck is not nearly as red as most and id say, excluding certain lighting, it looks like it matches. Also, and this is the big one, his eyes aren't googly. They aren't looking forward but both symmetrically look out to the side like his 2nd and 3rd form. So i am super happy with my version but i can definitely see why this figure gets so much hate
It feels like they were using Shin Gumzilla as a paint test model, but then eventually decided to greenlight it for sale and distribution.
Hey diegodoom, what did you do with your "bad" shin godzilla?
I heard a reissue is coming in January.
Did you hear the awakening version is out
+Ethan Creator I see it has been released. I'm waiting for my preorder to ship out.
DiegoDoom Cool! I'm excited to see the review
You bought it for $80 where did you buy it at? Great review too no real hate on the figure but thanks to you now I know I'll pass on this one
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Yea great video but where do you buy your figures so cheap
It's kind of interesting watching you bash on a figure. I don't think I have ever scene you do that. lol It's nice to see that you don't give S.H. MonsterArts unconditional love. Also, did you ever bother with the Shin Gojira reissue? Or was it not really any different enough for you to spend a TON of money on.
I have the reissue. I have not had a chance to open it just yet. I am going to make a video comparing the two.
Okay. Do you predict that it will be that much better?
#PrayforRepaint (for once)
Jacob G. Just paint it yourself
RED GUY We shouldn't have to.
Jarmo Verriet especially with the money we spent on this
This is a very informative review. It would be great if we could get a repaint that looks like the Banpresto vinyl as well as a purple highlight variant.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support Darryl! I completely agree!
Hah you said fantastic knew you would :)
I was just wondering where exactly did you get yours to pay $86
i dont understand how they messed this up more than the sh monster art godzilla 2014 i mean this time they knew how he looked unlike godzilla 2014
Hey Diego, I want to start a S.H Monsterarts collection but I need some help! I need a monster that will be the first figure in my collection, do you think is should just get whatever figure I like and I'm able to get or is there a certain figure that is good for beginners in the series!
Also I loved this video, definitely convinced me to not get Shin Godzilla, it's to much for the risks of mistakes that the figure could have, I don't want a Shin Gumzilla!
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! You are right the choice is really up to you. To kick things off I would recommend starting with G95 Rebirth.
I approve this message
You can repain the SHMA Shin with red color cuz Shma shin dont have blood around (exept for back).
hey diego how much do you think all your godzilla sh monsterarts figures cost
I know what they retailed for, but I don't know how valuable they are now.
Thanks for the review.. I think I'll wait for something else or the recolor ver.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support!
Shin Godzilla is my favorite of all the Godzillas but they really didn't do him any justice with this.
WHAT SITE OR PLACE SELLS THAT FIGURE FOR $86!?
Monsterarts are normally cheapest when preorders first open, or when in the preorder sate in general. AmiAmi had Shin for $85 when it was up fro preorder.
Trusty ™ Darn... thanks.
Good luck getting it for a reasonable price now lol
Because of the prices now it's super lucky it's $86
Low Tier I got sh monsterarts burning Godzilla for &50
Insane price point. Sticking with the neca version.
I had a dream about this godzilla the same exact detail 2 years ago how do I have a dream so far into the future .-.
The red isn't the wash, its the plastic that's red; the black is actually the wash.
amazing review bro 👊🖒and always enjoyed outstanding setups
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! Keep up the fantastic work on your channel too!!!!
Great review, I plan on getting this figure mainly for the articulation, and hopefully a somewhat decent paint job. Otherwise I'll be picking up other Shin Godzilla figures(X-Plus, 1st) for my best representation of the design.
Thanks for Watching and Thanks for the Support! Yup X-Plus all the way.
