Spiral Studio's Burning Godzilla Statue - Deluxe Edition

The weather in the DMV (DC, MD, and VA) swings like a pendulum. Bright and sunny one hour, and the next, we're hit with rain followed by more swings in weather. This was a pain to shoot as it started drizzling when we assembled him. We, and I say we because this isn't a one-person setup, tried the following evening again to get some shots in as the sun went down. I got some great photos with the light-up features on full display (hoping they all worked without issue) and with the help of a 100 ft extension cord. Eventually, I got all the images I needed. The pictures speak for themselves.

My only drawback with this release is that the largest of the two boxes was too tight of a fit for the styrofoam casing. No matter what, we could only remove the statue by cutting the box open, which never happens, but it did this time. I was disappointed, considering their Spiral King Ghidorah DX was packaged immaculately with zero issues removing and repackaging him afterward. I don't know if that was just an isolated incident with me or if this has happened to other collectors.

That aside, the Burning DX is beautiful and a highlight of 2023, collecting-wise. We're only in May, but this has taken the lead in my Kaiju Collectable of the Year.

Props to Awesome Collector and Kaiju Live for bringing this titan home!

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

XM Studios Shin Godzilla Bust

This bust is almost perfect. It looks incredible from every angle, but my only gripe is the paint application, mainly on the teeth. It's very red and bright. I had to tone down the color for these pictures as they looked like some Multiverse Shin Joker Godzilla. While that does have some appeal, it needs to be more accurate to the 2016 film. If you want to purchase this bust, remember that the gums and teeth are red. Why are the teeth even painted with the paint going as high as half the size of the teeth? Not a fan of that choice. Maybe the factory messed up; I don't know, but not a fan.

As I don't want to come off as too negative, I do want to show some love for the sculpt and proportions of the bust. It looks as if it came right out of the screen. I have the Art of Shin Godzilla book, and many of the angles I see are dead on. You can't ask for a better visual replica
