a Mecha King Ghidorah would be really cool. Hopefully HLJ gets them on pre-order

Since they would be general retail releases, HLJ will definitely get them in stock.

No where, this is just speculation.

inb4 Showa Imago and Larva

:P

It's odd how this line re-releases things at random, I guess it works though.

UltramanGoji wrote:The Mothras are a strange and different story though. They have old 6" scale sculpts (Mothra has the SOS Imago, Rainbow Mothra and the Heisei Larva & Leo Larva) but considering they're different incarnations, will Bandai still release them simultaneously? Or brand new sculpts? Personally, I'm hoping for a re-release of the SOS Imago and a new SOS Larva mold.

With touched up paint jobs I would hope, but knowing modern Bandai, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Perhaps I'm thinking about it to much but maybe they're figure of Mothra from the 2nd anime film. Either way the larva is welcome for me. My Heisei Larva has bit the dust and I could use a new one

New sculpt for that Mothra Larva! The original SOS figure was in the 8” scale!

Excellent news! They look awesome. Super pre-ordered the second they hit HLJ.

MKG looks like a reissue. Though the leg posture seems slightly different. 2018, still didn't fix upwards facing horns. Bleh.

Still happy they are using the line again! : D

They look like small versions of the 8" but maybe that's just me. Lol.

The G2017 is out, as it's a re-paint of the first one, which had awful legs. I'm trying to beef-up my vinyl collection, so I'll be getting the MKG and adult Mothra. Jury's still out on the Mothra Larva...
