So I have some serious issues with these two figures, first of all it looks like the only articulation on Rodan is the head, neck, jaw, tongue, shoulders where the wings connect, and the hips where the legs connect. No knee joints and no ankle joints, I understand why there is no joints in the wing but the lack of leg joints is really annoying. Mothra's articulation is the base of the wings and where the legs connect, and that is it, it may be hard to but it's possible to add more joints to the limbs. All in all I don't know if they are worth the $109.99 price tag I probably will though just so I don't have to pick them up second-hand because they are Web exclusives, what do you guys think?

As someone who thought getting the Neca versions was going to be a splurge, I'm probably not the most qualified to comment but here I am anyways. Judging by some additional promo images of Mothra, I think her abdomen might be on a hinge(Link to pictures http://shma-articulationseries.com/upcoming-releases.html), which is something at least. Overall I think they look really good(though not quite movie accurate), but I do think they could have done a lot more in the posing department, especially in Rodan's case.
They aren't available until November anyways, you've got plenty of time to think it over.

I dunno. You might want to stick to neca if you are not satisfied
Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.

I actually have less time to think about it seeing as how they are Web exclusive meaning less will be made and they are from King of the Monsters so more people are aware of the movie

Hadn't thought of that, I am really out of touch with how this stuff works. I guess if you don't absolutely need a matching set than go with Neca, but if you're not sure than preorder them. You could always resell them if you're not 100% happy, I'd be willing to bet there'll be plenty of people looking for the pair if they do end up being limited stock like you say.

That's very true
