My Sci-Fi Revoltech Mothra and Mogera figures arrived today. 
Coming on the heels of Baragon, these ended up being a bit disappointing due to some production fit-up problems. Mothra was good to go right out of the box, but in order to make her perch on her Tokyo Tower stand, you had to pull off her abdomen, insert an adaptor piece, and and try to reattach it without other body parts falling off. Then discovered that the Revoltech peg will not fit into the hole on the stand without some modifications with a sharp knife, nor will her giant cocoon attach to the stand for similar reasons. So for now, she's hugging the ground. Mogera starts off in five separate components that had to be assembled in a frustrating way (and the tabs on the back fin had to be shaved down a tad with a knife to get it into the slots... Ended up breaking the top tab off in the attempt, but the lower one still holds it in place). Looks great once you got it put together, but changing poses in the future will be a bit of a pain.
