'64? I thought it was Little Godzilla.

Color scheme does make it look like Little Godzilla that, now that you think about it.
M1's Godzilla 1964 figure, made to look like a vinyl version of the 1964 Godzilla had Marusan/Bullmark released one back in the 60s. It bares a pretty close resemblance to the vintage Gomess figure, which used the 1964 costume. Maybe that's where they got the idea.

I would be very disappointed if this turned out to be the case. He was the one I was most looking forward to.. :/

;_; I always thought the G2K was coming out in May. That's the date they have everywhere. Also Seen some of those in pics from Japan so they do exist. I REALLY hope they haven't because been waiting on that one for months now and I preordered from ebay.

Just picked up Burning Godzilla at Kirk Von Hammett's FearFestEVIL in San Jose this past weekend. I'm usually not a fan of these types of figures but honestly... it's like my new favorite! I love it and now I want more! Thinking about getting the 1968 or the 1984 next!

If you're talking about the Marmit 1984, I really recommend him. I snapped up an original color release and love him. Very nice mould and details and most of the colorways have been nice.

It looks like the G2K figure was cancelled for Flossies. Everybody I contacted about it haven't heard word from Diamond about cancelling the figure so its still being manufactured. Their guess was that since 200 are being made, that there simply was not enough supply for Flossies to sell. The late worm gets the bird I figure.

Yeah, the 1984 looks awesome being blue and black... but so does the 1968. I'm not abig fan of the 68 Godzilla suit just because for a while it seemed to be everywhere. But the more I think about it, I think of how cool would it be to have a Sofubi Godzilla toy from each era of films to show an evolution of the Big G. I already have a 54. I could use the 68 to show the hero/friendly side of him from the 60s/70s era, 1984 to show how they brought him back to his roots, the 1995 to show how they modernized him, and a 2000 to show the newest era.

Yeah, I figured since I haven't heard anything from the other retailers that it was more of an individual issue for Flossies. Sucks for Flossies but I'm just happy my order is still in tact. 8-)

You and me both. I must find a way to get that MH Orga re-release. *salivates*

I'm guessing you were the one that snagged that Biollante for $60 at ebay a couple weeks back :mrgreen:

I had that in my bookmark but when I accessed it, it was already sold. :lol:

My G2K thru discountcomicbookservice.com was cancelled as well.
However, the notice says it'll be re-solicited.

The napping and sleeping Godzillas have nice prices compared to the others. Any idea how big those are?

Pretty sure at those cheaper prices they'll probably be a little smaller than the 9" ones.

They'll probably be in the 5 1/2" to 6" range like the Bear '67 Godzilla.

The giant Desugoji might be 11" to 15" like the other Vinyl Wars. In fact, I think all the Vinyl Wars are giant sofubi.
