Top 5 SHMA Poster/Color Version Figures I'd Like To See Made.

Not only are we getting a really cool looking SH MonsterArts figure based on the Poster Version of Mechagodzilla from 1993's 'Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla', we finally get some confirmation on a rumor that Tamashii nations were working on a "Spit Fire" version of the "Birth Version" Godzilla. It was revealed that this figure is a "Poster Version" of Godzilla from the same poster as the Mechagodzilla figure. It's unknown weather or not this version will come with an Atomic Breath piece, only time will tell weather or not collectors will have to ask themselves the dreaded double-dip question.
All this got me thinking about idea's for other repainted versions of figures based on posters I would like to see, hence the creation of this blog post you are currently reading. These aren't necessarily ordered from which ones I want more than others, I just put them in the order in which I thought of them.   

Rodan 1993 - Poster Version

This seems like a bit of a no-brainer, don't it? This is also the poster from which the aforementioned figures were based on. It was illustrated by Japanese artist, Noriyoshi Ohrai, who also designed many other stunning Godzilla posters. It just makes sense to complete the set, seeing this depiction of Rodan brought to life as a detailed, articulated figure would be absolutely wicked!

Godzilla 1995 - Color Version

Another poster done by Ohrai. I debated actually putting Destoroyah's poster look on this list, but the more I thought about it, it just looked too close to the actual Destoroyah. The poster version just has smaller wings and more forward posture. On the other hand, Godzilla himself has a very cool color scheme on this poster and I would not mind having a 'Birth Version' Godzilla with it. 

 Godzilla 2000 Millennium - US Poster Version

Most of us living in the United States probably have Godzilla 2000 on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray of this film with this awesome cover. I could see this either being made from scratch or even taking the 'Birth Version', re-tooling some parts of it, adding the new Dorsal Fins and finishing it off with the black and orange color. 

Spacegodzilla - Color Version

Back when Trendmasters were the ones cranking out Godzilla toys in the United States, their Spacegodzilla figure sported a color scheme very similar to another one of Ohrai's posters. I feel that a Spacegodzilla figure with the same colors made by Tamashii nations would be a huge seller.

Godzilla 1954 - US Color Version

When many people think of the original Godzilla film, this poster usually comes to mind. Who can blame them? It's a pretty iconic poster, and since there is already a SHMA 1954 Godzilla figure, why not make a variant with the above color scheme? Lips and all! And a yellow Atomic Breath effect for good measure.

Are there any Poster/Color variants that you would like to see? Feel free to leave a comment.
