The Official “Share Your Latest Purchases” Thread!

^Thats been on my list for a long time.  I've heard nothing but amazing things about it.  I wanted to see The Next first, though, so now its just a matter of tracking down Nexus subtitled! :) Maybe Crunchyroll will get it one day...

just got final wars and the 12 inch neca a couple weeks ago

^Great figures!  The 12" NECA is truly stunning, probably the best Godzilla 2014 figure released to date.

@Danzilla93, I've seen the film and for me it is an awesome movie! Not the best Ultraman movie, but still an awesome one. I will say that the Ultras name and the main atagonist's name are kinda generic.

Thanks for the recommendation!

G-Fan2000,
I'm curious what you think is the superior Ultraman movie?

And personally I love the codenames. It clearly tried to reboot the same Ultraman story for a new audience while giving the characters minor references to seperate them from other Ultra heroes.

Ultraman: The Next was THE kaiju/toku film of 2004. Godzilla: Final What?

^You sure about that being released in 2014? #2004. :P

Personally, I love Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy Legends: The Movie.

Thanks BigBadBen, massive typo on my part. And fixed.

As much as I ADORE Ultra Galaxy Legends: The Movie, I think The Next tops it for the pure risk it was.

After seeing The Next, it is definitely now one of my favorite Ultraman stories ever.  It was such a radical deviation, and the fact that it WORKED, and came together so incredibly well, is really an amazing thing.  My favorite Ultraman movie, though, is definitely Ultra Galaxy Legends: The Movie.  I swear, that entire film was one huge geekout for me, and it honestly gave me chills watching it the first time... and it still does.  The sweeping visuals, the epic story, the "everything but the kitchen sink" concept that put Final Wars to shame... yeah, I love that movie to death. ;)

In other news, I used an Amazon gift card to get NECA's 18 inch Cherno Alpha figure!!!!  I ordered that bugger yesterday, and, even though it was only 5-8 day super saver shipping, it shipped a few hours later and I should have it Monday!  HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!?!?! :D

As much as I agree Ultra Galaxy Legends: The Movie put Final Wars' own concept to shame, I just think The Next was an incredible evolution of the Ultraman mythos. And I think it's a shame that Tsuburaya has sort of gone backwards from that instead of pushing it forward-- Still I really enjoyed the Ultraman Zero trilogy. (Although I think the second film is better than Ultra Galaxy.) And as much as I loath Ginga I can't wait to see Ginga S: The Movie... mostly for Nexus though...

@Danzilla93, I incredibly agree. I LOVE Ultra Galaxy the Movie (not saying full title name because its....kinda long). Especially when all the Ultra kaiju joined forced and created Beryudorah. That was awesome!!

@Gman2887, I definitely respect your opinion. Although Ultraman: The Next is a phenomenal movie with great cinematogrophy, but for me, just the fact that a couple of Ultras and Rei's monsters to fight against Ultraman Belial and 100 monsters is just mind blowing. Hey, I heard that the new kaiju in the Ultraman Ginga S Movie is called Etelgar and even Ultraman Belial will return.

@Danzilla93, thats an awesome purchase. I rememember I saw a Cherno Alpha 18 inch for 40-60 bucks, but it was a bid, and like all listings that are cheap prices, it grew and grew. I also saw a 18 inch Knifehead for around 120 bucks at my local comic book shop. As of right now, I am still thinking if I should buy it or not because I don't want to waste my G-Fest money.

Speaking of Ultraman. I just watached around 80% of Ultraman Max , and it is legitimately my favorite Ultraman series I have ever seen!

So, I decided to get a figure of Max himself!

As mixed feelings as I have for the Ultraman Max series, I'm glad people are plowing through Crunchyroll's selecton.

@G-Fan2000

Belial returning? I could've sworn that was a hoax, but I wouldn't exactly be sad if true. Where did hear that?

Danielle... Max is one of my all time favorites of the entire franchise!  I saw it all on YouTube three or four years ago, and it was so incredible.  I laughed, I cried (Miracle of the Third Planet had me bawling like a baby... never before did Tokusatsu affect me in such an emotional way), I cheered, I geeked out when actors returned to the series that I loved from their original appearences... It was a wonderful ride. :) Just wait until you get to the end!

And neither my 18" Cherno or my 6" Zilla came today. -_-  Zilla was supposed to be here no later than last Friday, and both are currently chilling at carrier facilities a few miles from my city.  Man, thats frusterating.  But they will be here tomorrow!

And I'm still waiting for my Gamera: The Brave Blu-ray that I ordered two weeks ago.  It shipped less than 24 hours after I bought it, so its been in the mail for like 13 days.  I never thought I'd be so impatient for a movie I already own (on DVD) to arive.  My Gamera Blu-ray collection awaits completion!!!!

I havrn't purchased them yet, but I know I'm going to preorder the NECA Otachi and also buy the S.H. MonsterArts Adult Godzilla Junor.

(Speaking of SHMA, I got the Gigan and Destoroyah for Christmas! :D)

@GMAN2887, I heard it from the Ultraman Wiki, but I still don't know if that is true.

Read the following excerpt from the Ultraman Belial post they made: "Little is known about his role in Ultraman S The Movie : 10 Ultra Heroes!, but it is known that he will be featured in the film alongside Darklops Zero, numerous Imitation and Evil Ultras, Dark Zagi and Dark Lugiel."

I also heard ALL of these kaiju will be showing up in the film:

Gomora, Alien Chibu Exceller, Chiburoid, EX Red King, Shepardon, Eleking, King Joe Custom, Imperializer, Alien Guts Barusuto, Sadora, Gudon, Vakishim, Yapool, Gan Q, Fire Golza, Five King, Bemular, Bemstar, Doragoris, Velokron, Alien Akumania, Zoa Muruchi, Alien Metron Jace, Birdon, Hyper Zetton, Victor Lugiel, Dark Lugiel, Alien Zetton Burume, Alien Nackle Gray, Alien Icarus and Alien Valkie.

Nice stuff, Sci-Fi King25!  Gigan and Destoroyah are two of the best of the line!  Destoroyah won't last much longer on the market before it goes out of print, so I'm glad you got it when you could!

Well, I finally got some goodies in the mail, and WOW... are they awesome.  I got my 6 inch Trendmasters Godzilla 1998... the missile launching one! 

He didn't come with his missile, but I just wanted a 6 inch Zilla to scale with my Final Wars kaiju... and now, I have him! :D

And last, but definitely not least...

*drumroll*

NECA's 18 Inch Cherno Alpha!!!!!!!!

MY GOD, THIS THING...

LOOK AT IT!!!!  JUST LET ITS AWESOMENESS FLOW THROUGH YOU!

ITS GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!

He's now officially one of the coolest things in my collection.  I highly HIGHLY reccomend this behemoth if you can afford him.
