^I was able to get the Revoltech Rodan for $30 on Amazon when it was still available. Revoltechs used to go for GOOD prices.

Distributed by Bandai, but not really a vinyl figure like we've come to know. It's made by Star Ace, same company that partnered with X-PLUS for those Kong figures.

Please be in the 6 inch scale.

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't realize it was Bandai premium.

I am still hoping for a standard 6" Monsterverse Kong from Bandai.

This will be made by Bandai, just like the X-Plus, for some reason Star Ace has to be part of the release to put out products from this movie from companies outside the US.

I wouldn't worry too much about a standard, MMS Kong. I'm willing to bet money we'll get him, and MAYBE the rest of the kaiju that Playmates is doing toys for (Skull Crawler, Warbat, etc) as well.

Kong's always been a bit of an iffy kaiju for me in terms of figures, I'd be down for a normal MMS vinyl of him, but I'd rather something like the Playmates kongs (2005 and GvK) because he's just such an...animated kaiju that having him stuck in one pose feels a bit weird. Even if you can rotate his arms or whatnot.

Has anyone ordered from the premium Bandai website? Tempted to order Kong from there, but I don’t know what the pre order, shipping, and cancellation policies are. Kind of an annoying website.

Yeah, it looks like you pay full up front for a preorder, is that true?

It costs more and has an NRD, but it is up on BBTS too.

I've only ever seen it on massively expensive products and Webshop items. General release stuff from other companies seems to avoid it.

It's probably significant to get inventory of Kong, so i'm sure they're doing NRD to cover themselves.

Yeah, I could probably be wrong. Just pointing out something I noticed recently.
