erm,... giant spider in Final Wars that shoots yellow webs,....


...yea......yeah that's the ticket.

I would love to see Godzilla fight some Spiders from Mars!

...and which movie was THAT in? I must've missed it.

Not a David Bowie fan I take it?

That would be Kumonga. It's NOT from Mars, and there's only ONE...

EDIT: Kinda. More so of his films, than his music...

[canofhumdingers]

Well, jokes aren’t as fun when you have to explain them, but...

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is one of Bowie’s most famous albums (it’s really the one that propelled him to fame. Ziggy was a stage persona he took on for performances in the early seventies who was a Martian that came to preach and used his band (The Spiders from Mars) to become a rock star because he realized that was the best way to reach the largest number of people with his message.

Bowie as “Ziggy Stardust”




Gojira2K questioned why the NECA spitfire face paint resembled David Bowie (specifically as Ziggy) and several of us made follow up jokes.

In hand pics. Why does the face look like David Bowie?

Godzilla: Ziggy Stardust Version?

Godzilla never actually fought Spiders from Mars. Hence why I *would* love to see it (and I meant actual Spiders, not the band)

Good job explaining it to TK's local living fossil

Hey, hey, damn blasted kids....respect your elders, now get the hell off my damn TK lawn.

[MandaSaurus]

^ I already knew all that, but sometimes the "younger set" needs to catch up on their history lessons...

[canofhumdingers]

Well, your question indicated that you didn’t get the joke about spiders from Mars, hence the explanation.

Both of the wings on my figure are starting to drop. Any recommendations for how I can get the joint stuff again?

When handling the wings, firmly pinch Rodan’s hands with your thumb and index finger at all times

Sorry, I thought we were talking Godzilla & kaiju, not members of the Rock Star Hall of Fame...

Ah shit! Soggy get up! Here comes the 5O!

Atomic Breathe 2019 is out soon in US but all UK suppliers still got November date. Dammit!

[Ultra_Henshin_Fan]

thanks for the tip about Rodans neck TohoKingdom, mine was upside down too.

Looks much better now and has a wider range of movement.

Finally got my 1962 Godzilla unboxed and shelved; I'd been putting that off because there was a fair bit of clutter removal and rearranging I had to do first. Anyway, very impressive figure, huge and imposing, and I love all the detail in the skin. The tail socket had to be heated up to attach the tip, and a few joints are stiff, but it's in good enough shape for display.

With any luck, I'll be getting Mothra and Rodan next week. Are they consistently showing up at Books A Million yet?

Y'know, sometimes I regret telling folks around here what my age is...

the Neca 62 figure is so good it made me like and appreciate that particular costume a lot more than I did before.

Neca finally having articulated tails is a game changer. I've really been impressed with both the 1962 and the kotm 2019

[GFAN198423]

Yeah, '62 suit ranks pretty low on the list for me, but something about the NECA figure was irresistable, and I don't regret buying it, it's fun to pose around and looks really good on display.

I know for a fact Mothra is, can't say the same for Rodan as I had to go into GameStop to pick him up.

I think you have a 50/50 chance of finding them both, you'll definitely find Mothra though
