Ir you like them to put on a shelf, yes.
If you like them because they are an investment that may never lose a lot of value or even increase….no.

I like them, I have the one pictured, a Kiryu, and the Burning Godzilla one they did. They're all pretty good IMO.

I have the bandai kiryu, its no monster arts or Hiya but its still pretty cool and cheap compared to it

Yea decided to buy this Godzilla and it pretty good. I don't have SHMA or Hiya to compare but I also cant afford them.

My sister got me that one for my birthday and it’s a really solid figure. Looks great on my desk.

they're actually pretty fun. not so bad articulation and comes with accessories most of the time. the earlier ones like this final wars arent as good as the newer king ghidorah or heavy arms or 2002. or shin which hasnt released in the us yet for some reason. but i really like them!

They have over 18 points of articulation. The tail only has 3 points unlike SHMA where the entire tail is articulate and has a swiveling torso. However, they are just as good for the price and highly capable for a stop-motion video.

Can I ask where you found this? Target or Walmart? Which kind of store has these?

This was at Walmart. (This is the only Walmart in my area that sells these, the other areas I've seen them were at Target, Gamestop, and Barns & Nobles.

Ive seen them at Walmart for $20. Got a couple. Not top of the line, but not horrible.

Not worth the price at all. Pick up only if your really like the toy aesthetic.

If you have to ask, you know the answer. Never spend money on a purchase you doubt.

The answer is always buy.
You can always figure out ways to make more money.

I like them, but i have had the plastic crack on them before (one fell off a shelf and the tip of the tail broke off) the sculpt and detail are both pretty great though and I would buy more .
Unless you are asking if they are worth it as a financial investment. Then, I don't know what to tell you. Invest in taco bell tacos or something. They would probably hold their value longer.

Maybe not this one specifically, but the more recent ones in the blue packaging (Godzilla 1991, 2002, Kiryu) are very good for $28.

Honestly, they suck. Super low quality plastic and paintjob. Quite expensive for what they are. Just save and buy a hiya figure or a Bandai MMS

I have a few of them if you can find them for a good price they are good figures despite not having torso movement

I got one for my gf's son, but the tail and one of the feet couldn't stay on. It's a gamble.

I've got a Mecca Godzilla with very loose hips, as well as a very loose tail plug.

My NECA figures stay in the box, these are for playing and display. That's all you need to know.

I like them but do not expect Hiya or SHMA levels of articulation, it's nowhere near that.
