Just curious, but what's the scale on the Aioshima Laser cannon?

Not exactly a toy, but I just got Kaiju Busters off of eBay for $15.

HLJ knocked their price down 80%. It was originally retailing for something like $230, but for a hair over $50, I couldn't pass it up. If you can stand either the shipping $$$ or the long wait for cheaper shipping, I recommend it highly. It's as close as you'll get to a prop or prop replica. As much as I love it, I'm still more excited about the vinyl :D

Wow, only $50....*NICE* grab. I have all the Bandai Machine Chronicles figures 1 and 2...but I've always been interested in bigger scale mecha...

Thanks to a tip from RedZillaKing (gracias, my friend!) I just received my Marmit Orga today! I love this guy, puts Bandai's six-incher to shame, in my opinion.

Orga's arrival threatens the tranquility of MonsterLand!

UGH. I'm so jealous. I don't even like Orga all that much but that figure is great. I want it to go with my Marmit G2K :c

I hear you, pal. I can understand preferring film-accurate versions to stylized ones (I enjoy both, obviously), but I'm routinely surprised by the amount of vitriol some folks will hurl at the Marmits, M1s, Marusans, etc...

Whether one likes these guys or not, they're wonderfully realized in their own way.

This would be a good place to post a pic of Mechani-Kong as he stares into the light of all that element X, with the caption "...IT'S BEAUTIFUL..."

I never had any use for Orga until I saw that bad boy. Nice score, CD. Also...NEGORA!

Orga looks awesome! He's not my favorite monster, but I think it was suited to its role in G2K. Either way, it's a fantastic looking figure.

Not a toy... so sue me... but hear my story first!!

So on Monday, I stopped by my local comic place, to get the new G-fan, KOM #12, and Legends #4. I buy them and headed out the door, when all of a sudden my G-sense kicked in, and I saw this out of the corner of my eye.

Image

I turned right back around, grabbed it, and said "I'm buying this too!!"

haha, the owner said he figured I would want it when they got it in. :lol:

I haven't had a Godzilla shirt since 7th grade.

Obviously not a toy, but I'm sharing it anyway.

I just received my Australian theatrical day-bill announcing Filmways' release of Godzilla Vs. Gigan. There are some imperfections in the ink, but it's in great shape for a forty-year-old movie poster.

Well, I did it. I ordered a Bandai Kaiser Ghidorah off Ebay for $95. Call me insane if you want, but I really like the monster and wanted the figure.

I hope you'll like it!

I didn't like that rendition of the character enough to want to spend much on a figure of it, but I'm sure you'll be happy with it if you did.

Just bought Ultra Act Gomora, Belial, and Baltan II. I've owned them before but my puppy ate them. Now three of my favorite figures are back. Woo hoo!

BTW, UA Gomora is available on CS Toy's site for 58-60 dollars. That's the best price around.

I apologize, but I'm laughing.

Seriously though, your dog ate them?! Not just chewed up, but ate them?!

I'm one of the few who liked the rendition, so I'm looking forward to having it next to the others. This marks my biggest figure, since I usually just collect the 6 inch ones. This one stands a monstrous 9.5 inches, and it comes with the tag, so I'm happy with the order. I'll post a picture when it arrives.
