Would anyone like to see Yu-Gi-Oh S.H MonsterArts? I would totally buy a Blue Eyes WHite Dragon MA figure.

Yeah Id be down. Im up for any cool monsters. Hoping we'll get alot out of this line. Really hope they do some of the universal classics like Bela Lugosi Dracula.

Is there a release date for Battra yet?

I definitely would rather them stick to film monsters for a while. I hope Alien and Predator don't lead to the series straying from kaiju. I don't want to see what will happen if we bring anime into the mix to make the series even less focused. I mean, I know it's "MonsterArts" and not "DaikaijuArts" but I've been really enjoying the solid devotion to Godzilla and I've been hoping for it to branch into other kaiju like Guilala, Clover, and Pulgasari before getting into anime and too many non-kaiju creatures.

Well, I think right now Tamashii is making a hard push to find more relevance in the wider collector's market as opposed to being stuck with just Japanese brands and IPs, hence the AvP and DC figures coming up next year. I'm definitely sure they'll be keeping up with Godzilla and will eventually add Gamera to the list and probably Cloverfield, so I don't think you have to worry too much about them. The lesser known Kaiju may be kind of iffy, but maybe we'll get them as Tamashii Web Shop figures?

Personally, I can't wait to see Tamashii take a stab at as many monsters as they can, as I think in many cases they'll probably produce the best version of that character available. Looking forward to the Queen Alien, which I'm hoping they'll have at Tamashii Nations. Also, I've been waiting YEARS for those Evangelion Monsterarts.

Well I just noticed that the Xenomorph Warrior and Battra are scheduled for the same month next year, so maybe we will start seeing multiple releases in a month soon rather than one at a time? That's good news in my mind because we could potentially see a Godzilla or other kaiju release alongside something else like Evangelion, Yu Gi Ho, or Jurassic Park? Who knows. So many possibilities. I'm really hoping they will get to Pacific Rim and Gamera one day. Ooh, and the Creature From the Black Lagoon.

Where did you see stuff about DC figures? MonsterArts said something about DC figures, or just Tamashi in general?

They're releasing a Batman figuarts. Unfortunately based on the Injustice series, probably down to that being the only licence they could nab, but it's still pretty cool.

I would actually be somewhat surprised if they don't have Gamera or Showa Godzilla figures at Tamashii Nations here in a couple weeks (along with more Aliens like Big Chap, Alien Queen, etc.). I'm also hoping we'll get some more Monsters coming up soon from various sources and series (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, Friday the 13th, even that Vajura from Macross F). And I'd love at some point if we got Creature from the Black Lagoon.

As for the DC Figuarts, we're allegedly getting the full line up of characters and it sounds like we may be getting more than just the Injustice versions later on. Can't wait to do a Kamen Rider Joker vs. Joker display.

So, it looks like Mothra's going to be following Predator Wolf as the next MonsterArts release. She'll be coming up in April for (it looks like) 6500 yen.

After her, it looks like we'll be getting Big Chap (the original Alien) and Gigan 2004 (Final Wars). Pretty cool, but it's sad that the MonsterArts display has no sign of the Evangelion or Macross monsters from last year...

Mothra is a great addition though truly not at the top of my wants list. I really want to see Jet Jaguar and Megalon
