Beautiful 1989 Godzilla (with video review)

Monsterarts 1989 Godzilla is a wonderful take on BioGoji in toy form. The sculpture is very accurate and the detailed painting is very beautiful. The claws have a yellowish tint that makes them quite realistic. It's also great that unlike previous Godzilla Monsterarts, what I got had perfect eyes, meaning eyes look the same, so Godzilla doesn't look confused even when looking at it from the front. The tail is again the highlight. its possibilities. It is segmented, each with its own ball joint. You can bend it and place it in Godzilla's iconic "S" tail pose. The back plates on his back are nice too as they have their own color scheme. As far as articulation goes, Godzilla is a bit limited, but not so much that it's not fun to play with. This character's design makes it difficult for 1989 Godzilla to look up. He can still look around and even look down with ease. The hands are a bit stiff so I suggest you use silicone oil to loosen them. Never use force to move fixed connections, otherwise they will break! Legs and feet are fine, no problem. You can rearrange them as you like. The only place that really lacks freedom of movement is at Godzilla's waist. He can just crunch a little and that's it. Due to its construction, it can no longer turn left or right. However, in the film, Godzilla didn't actually do any of that, so that's fine, but still I prefer my toys to be very comfortable, so it would be better if they gave him more range of motion. All in all, Monsterarts 1989 Godzilla is a great toy for veteran and new Godzilla fans alike. I've attached a video so you can see another review and how I'm having fun with my toys. You can find the same video on YouTube, just search me for Adeno and Monstearts Godzilla 1989 Review. This Godzilla comes without any accessories, and that's fine. An explosion effect would be great, but I personally use digital effects with my toys for fun.
