<\/a>After trudging through Ebay and various sites dedicated to reselling toys for the last few weeks, the stars aligned & I discovered Godzilla\u2019s bonus effects pack.\u00a0 The most difficult thing was finding it at a decent price while I had the extra funds to waste.<\/p>\nI\u2019m pretty satisfied with the MonsterArts line so far.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard not to love super articulated Godzilla figures.\u00a0 Plus each figure seems a bit better than the previous one, which you know has to be amazing when MOGERA becomes the best figure of the line!\u00a0 I really only have two complaints:\u00a0 The prices are still a bit steep, and the bonus accessories are a pain to get a hold of.<\/p>\n
So far, the line only has three effects packs.\u00a0 The third one, Space Godzilla\u2019s, is the easiest one to obtain since Bluefin is importing it.\u00a0 I\u2019m really glad they were able to work this out with Bandai of Japan since it contains Godzilla Junior, and I consider him a necessary character to own.\u00a0 Unfortunately the first two effects packs, Godzilla\u2019s and Mecha Godzilla\u2019s, aren\u2019t as easy to pick up.\u00a0 They\u2019re both Tamashii Web exclusives, which mean they\u2019re only sold in Japan and the run is usually limited to the number of orders.<\/p>\n Godzilla\u2019s effects parts consist of a new energy beam and stand for Big G himself.\u00a0 Instead of the icy blue color of his first nuclear breath attack, these two pieces are now a bright burning red from when he\u2019s super charged with energy.\u00a0 I know the blue is more accurate, but I think I like the intense look of the red better.\u00a0 Just like the blue, it\u2019s still got that luminous metallic look while maintaining a nice level of translucence.\u00a0 If nothing else, I think this piece will look fantastic with this year\u2019s SDCC\u2019s Burning Godzilla.<\/p>\n The rest of the pieces in the box aren\u2019t really effects, but various military vehicles that the Japanese government and G-Force has used to try and fend off the various kaiju attacks.\u00a0 I have to admit, I never really expected these types of accessories out of this line.\u00a0 I assumed Bandai would just focus on the various monsters.\u00a0 But I\u2019m really glad they took a chance with these vehicles because they make really great display pieces in an action scene.<\/p>\n Before I get into the different aircraft, I wanted to mention that this pack has two stands.\u00a0 One displays the red silhouette of Godzilla, while the other shows the G-Force emblem.\u00a0 Each stand has three separate holes for an arm to be placed, which allows all the craft to be displayed separate or together.<\/p>\n The first craft in the set is one of the more unique looking weapons that G-Force used to fend off Godzilla.\u00a0 The Super-X2 is a flying vessel that looks a bit like a fat submarine.\u00a0 It is equipped with missiles, torpedoes, and a Gatling gun, but its main weapon is a device known as a Fire Mirror that resides in the front of the ship.\u00a0 The Mirror can absorb Godzilla\u2019s energy blasts and redirect them back to the monster for affective attack.<\/p>\n The ship is very well sculpted with various sculpted panels running over its surface, and even tiny thrusters on the bottom.\u00a0 It comes with two front ends: one closed, and one open to reveal the Fire Mirror.\u00a0 It also has an alternate top panel that displays three missiles.\u00a0 Continue to page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n Next are three ASTOL-MB93 aircraft.\u00a0 These advanced jets are able to utilize the beam technology similar to Maser tanks, only from the air.\u00a0 This gives them much more advantage when it comes to choosing vital targets or evading attacks.<\/p>\n The design looks very much like a helicopter body minus the rotor, and with wings.\u00a0 The sculpting is impressive, especially considering these smaller vehicles are only about half an inch long.\u00a0 The piece is molded in green with silver apps on the lasers and orange highlights on the wings and tail.\u00a0 One really nice touch is that these smaller aircraft have adapters on their stand which allow you to display them in attack formations.<\/p>\n The last aircraft in the set are three F-16 Fighting Falcons.\u00a0 These jets aren\u2019t too effective against rampaging monsters, but they always seem to send them out anyway.\u00a0 Just like rest of the set, these well sculpted airplanes resemble their movie counterparts perfectly.\u00a0 They\u2019re molded out of a light gray plastic and given the most paint apps out of any of the vehicles.\u00a0 The dark blue\/black decorates the wings and nose cone, while a light blue indicates the cockpit canopy.\u00a0 And like the ASTOL-MB93, they Falcons are given a three pronged arm for formation display.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/gacc1.jpg?resize=640%2C480\")
