[Godzilla 1986]

Did they retool their Fire Rodan mold for this? Poor thing looks so bland. I'll probably grab the Ghidorah, maybe the Mothra, but yeah, going to stick to other lines for a complete Big 4.

[UltramanGoji]

These are miles better than the shitty Jakks figures but they're still not very good. I'm still sticking with NECA for now.

[Godzillian]

Getting these since I love the vinyls but just might pass on rodan.

It's not even that good.

[Ultra_Henshin_Fan]

Rodan looks stubby, like they chopped him off at the knees.

[Petezilla]

WHEN will these be released? Is the '4' (April) in the stats below the month they ship or when pre-orders start...? I can't make that out...

However, Mothra & Godzilla (especially the Monster King one!) look great, Ghidorah is good enough for its' size, but Rodan... like an upscaled Gashapon with a weird pose...

HobbyLinkJapan has a December release date.

[Godzillian]

Is it just me or do these seem a bit short for the typical vinyl? Maybe my math is just off

I don't believe in my wildest dreams that this is anywhere near the actual real release date, though. It be the like the first time in history that BANDAI would miss to cash in when the movie hits.

Ghidorah is about 7 inches tall and Godzilla is just over 6. Seems accurate to me.

Rodan's wingspan is a whopping 13 inches while Mothra's is at a modest 10 or so. Very interested to see Rodan with the others.

HLJ's listing seemed mostly like placeholders anyway, there weren't any images and they were up long before these ads were released.

[MandaSaurus]

Wow that Rodan looks HORRIBLE.

Just the HEAD. And that could change - they're not coming out til December...

[Maritonic]

No the whole THING. The whole THING looks like hot garbage. Those dates are almost certainly place holders.

Nah, the whole thing is fucking garbage. Rodan is clearly not meant to be positioned like that.

And when was the last time Bandai changed a mold before release? They aren't NECA.

Then I guess it was my math

That Rodan sucks......the others look good. But man, Rodan looks so off.

Whaddya ya mean? Looks just like it!

You get ads? I never get any notice from HLJ. I find out they have new stuff from the people here at TK.

BBTS always sends me notice that there's new Godzilla stuff coming but HLJ never sends anything.

What? I'm talking about the pictures of the KOTM figures. Those ads. The HLJ listings were up hours before these images went public.

[Major sssspielberg!]

Wowowow Rodan hasn't looked this immobile since the Heisei series! Definitely copping Ghidorah. I know for sure Rodan is my only must have Monsterarts, and I figure Mothra and Godzilla I'll stick to NECA. But that Ghidorah looks gorgeous!
