Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Some new playmates figures have released. Look like bootlegs
SHINS Sculpt is 100% stolen
That Kong we saw a while back which we thought was Bandai. Is actually playmates. It’s stolen too.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
We literally only have one picture of each. Wait till you get them in hand before saying they're stolen. Shin looks like it came from a style guide based on the NECA figure and Kong is so unidentifiable that there's zero basis in it being stolen from Lanard.
Anyway, SpaceGodzilla looks cool, don't care about Shin. I'll probably pick SG and the Destoroyah up as well.

You don’t have to like the toys but to call them “stolen” is extremely ignorant

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
It's very similar to the the Neca Shin sculpt; too bad they changed the head which is the most important design aspect of any figure anyway so now it looks like complete crap.

Oh, they don't look great....but at least this means it won't be limited to GVK!

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
The more I look at these the more I am just utterly fascinated by them. These look like the figures you find in the alley of a Hong Kong street market.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
IDK, the sculpts are eerily similar. In fact if you look at Spacegodzilla he really resembles the vinyl movie monsters figure. If you look at the smaller two rows of spines, they even retain the dip from the vinyl, although the larger spines look better.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Oh no, two figures based on the exact same creature look similar? Must be stolen.
Shin looks derpy as hell, but it’s fine. It’s not like we don’t have other excellent shin figures like all the Bandai ones, or gashapons. This feels like a figure that kids can have fun smashing together and not worried about damaging. Kong is the big one I’m interested in.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
There is no way the Shin isn’t taken from Neca’s scupt. Look at the dorsal spines, tail, feet, and how the head connects to the neck. We have way too much Reference material now that there in no way they sculpted their own shin and it matches up This much. Look at how the tail is segmented, and how it connects to the body. Or the Two Clear segments that match up exactly with Necas Mold. Why would Necas Figure be used as a style guide???. It is one of the most inaccurate figures of the design on the market. Surely they would know to use actual reference material from the film.UltramanGoji wrote:We literally only have one picture of each. Wait till you get them in hand before saying they're stolen.

Look at Kong’s face, and his hands. The hands match up 1:1 with the pose and shape. The only things that differ are the chest and Forearms. Which easily could be modified when the joints where removed from the figure. However Kong is still harder to tell, so he is up in the air.
. If you can’t see the similarities, ESPECIALLY with shin. Then I don’t know what to say. But with simple side by side images you can Clearly see they are the same mold. This is not a Neca 62 SHMA 62 situation where they are the same design but still have Clear differences so you can clearly tell them apart. This looks bootleg levels of Copying.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
There is nothing on the Playmates Shin that even matches the Neca... Different sculpt entirely. Kong is different as well, the chest head and shoulders are a different sculpt looking at the blurry pics of it.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
They look almost exactly like Bandai Creations figures. Was hoping the Playmates figures would at least be something unique not just BC ripoffs. Wonder if they somehow got the license for BC's stuff. Wouldn't be the first time something similar happened. Their Superhuman Samurai line seemed to be based heavily on Bandai's Gridman sculpts.

The SpaceGodzilla looks like this small 4 inch bootleg of the BC figure that I found in a market in Thailand.

What’s the price tag on these? Surely like 8$? Would be good for small children to bash around.
My point isn’t to defend these, they’re abominations, but I feel like a lot of us on here have the perspective of being adults trying to collect high value figures that are accurate vs a toy company putting something cheap out for eight year olds to bash together.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Bandai America figures look way better than these do. And they are meant for kids. Just because they are kids toys doesn’t mean they have to be absolutely garbage.LSD Jellyfish wrote:They look so bad....I love them.2004Zilla wrote:They're even skreeonking worse than we thought

Also. That is literally the Bandai Japan space Godzilla sculpt. There ain’t no denying it
