SHMA might someday, but not in 2015, cuz we're getting MKG.

^^ Yah, I've wanted SHMA to tackle the Harryhausen monsters for a while, but they've never expressed any interest. A shame, I think. Characters like Talos, Rhedosaurus, Cyclops, Sakura's Dragon - can you imagine?
I think it's a symptom of the bigger issue, which is that Harryhausen doesn't get the attention he deserves in general.

We're talking about a guy who changed the course of film history on the same level as Spielberg and Lucas, arguably even more so, yet most people alive today have no clue who he is and couldn't name any of his monsters unless they're the versions from the horrible Clash of the Titans remake.

Maybe the dinosaurs from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World? Not sure if they count as "Kaiju" to most people but they do in my book.

the giant behemoth: need sauropod kaiju
Gorgo: I've only seen marmits and resin kits for this creature so an shma of this creature would be nice
Blue eyes Ultimate Dragon: NECA or Tamashii this must happen NOW!
cloverfield: a smaller and more inexpensive version than its Hasbro counterpart

I'm always up for another - smaller - Clover...

Dinosaurs are NOT kaiju - they are extinct animals.

Kaiju is literally translated to as "Strange Creature"
The way I see it, the dinosaurs shown in the 1920's-1980's are "strange creatures" because they do not accurately depict the way they really were.
Again, it depends on your interpretation of what a "Kaiju" is.

Well, of course...

EDIT: JP Dinos are pretty accurate. The D-Rex from the upcoming Jurassic World, WOULD qualify as a kaiju, as it was created by the JW scientists...

Are there any over looked creatures you guys can think of that are worthy of a figure?

You know what would also be awesom aside from figures? A sequel to War of the Monsters :p

Anyway I want to see more Baragon figures and Godzilla 84 figures. It's a fan favorite yet there's almost nothing on the market for it. I'd also like to see someone like SHMA try the Dinobots from Age of Extinction. Id kill to have those and also the warrior Arachnids from Starship Troopers.

couldn't agree more. better mechanics, better graphics, more locations, an actual story, more bosses, challenges/mini games in between a number of missions, and above all else more kaiju

Eh, JP isn't really that accurate. The raptors are way bigger and have a totally different head shape than actual raptors (it would be somewhat more accurate if they were called deinonychuses), dilophosauruses were much larger, didn't have frills and couldn't spit venom, spinosauruses were quadrupedal, mostly aquatic predators, and generally they're all lacking feathers. The books have even more fanciful ideas, like poisonous compys and color-changing carnotauruses.

And besides, in-story they're not REALLY dinosaurs, just approximations pieced together from DNA fragments with the gaps filled in from modern creatures, so it's never entirely clear just how much is dinosaur and how much is InGen's guesswork. I've always seen them as kaiju-ish creatures and not just regular dinosaurs for that reason.

SHMA Manda. Yes please. There was a prototype for SHFA Shenron, but it never saw the light of day. Same with G89 for SHMA. Would buy all three (Manda, Shenron, and BioGoji).
If you have digital copy codes for movies you want to give away, I'll gladly take them! :)

Godzilla bursts from the ground, killing the 3 pilots. Godzilla will then battle his newest opponent...

Harryhausen figures would be awesome, especially the ones you mentioned, but I'd also like the Ymir from 20 million miles to Earth. When he starts growing he would classify as a Kaiju, who knows how big he could have gotten had they not killed him :)

I would imagine it would take 3 weeks to a month for it to grow 60 meters tall
