Mechagodzilla
- from Godzilla ReAction
- by Super7
Released as part of Super7's new dedicated Godzilla line. So not an homage, or a reference to any previous toy, or historical artifact. A line of wholly original 5poa (5 points of articulation) figures.
The result is a mixed bag. It's a good sculpt, nothing exceptional - but solid.
You can see the sculpted details like rivets and joints, but the light colored plastic doesn't help accentuate anything.
The paint is lacking. Most of the figure is unpainted light grey plastic - so the little paint applications it does have should be razor sharp, right? I mean, they're okay. But the MG on his arm is shakey, the teeth are poorly defined, and the whole thing is cast in such a light plastic that all of the details get washed out.
The whole line is like this, honestly. Good figure, but all feeling a little flat.
Not a disappointment, but I'll probably wait for interesting colorways before revisiting.
