I'm at the moment trying to accomplish a listing of all BC GODZILLA series (re-)issues of all release waves with years/months (were possible) to get a complete overlook of what and which (package) variants are out there. Is there already a place that did that, possibly...? :|

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it ~

Hate to keep harping on the reissue, er, issue but I can't believe they're not jumping on an opportunity to do all the new designs, most of which are versions of the Big 5.

Godzilla 2014, 2019, 2020
MUTO Male and Female
Shin Godzilla Forms 1-5
Kong 2017, 2020
Skullcrawler normal & giant sized
Godzilla Filius, Earth
Servum Flying and Worm types (if that's possible)
Anime Mechagodzilla, Ghidorah and Mothra (again if possible)
2019 Mothra, Ghidorah and Rodan (if Jakks doesn't have them covered)

Half of that stuff will never be made for the Stateside market, and the other half maybe. Bandai considers the US a niche market for Godzilla. Hell, the Power Rangers have a bigger market in the US than Godzilla...

Well I will admit that I was surprised to go back to my local Walmart to see if any of the Godzilla figures had sold, and much to my amazement, every single one of them had sold! The pegs were bare and there was a "Temporarily Out Of Stock" tag on the pegs, so someone is still buying them up. It may do well for Bandai Creation for Walmart to be carrying these for people who never made it out to Toys R Us, K-Mart or Target stores before. To them, these figures are likely "all new".

Smae here, my Walmart was fresh out when I went there the other day. Warms me heart to see these figures selling so well.

All three Walmarts around me were sold out within a couple days, all three have restocked, and sold out again... twice more. One of the store I'm talking about is a podunk, redneck, barely even a Supercenter... and they've sold out twice over too.

The MechaG's are stinking up the pegs at my Wal-Mart, and it IS a Supercenter...

So I guess Bandai Creations are likely going to swoop in and save the day again like they did back in 2014, and release the better versions of the 4 main kaiju from KOTM. No more Rodman, just Rodan the beast

Well hopefully they don't blow it and wait for the movie hype to completely die out before releasing their vinyl figures the way they did with 2014.

Yeah, that was dumb.

Either you are being sarcastic, or you really have no idea of what BC DID or DIDN'T do with Godzilla in 2014... :P

What I do know is they released enough products for kids to keep the interest strong here in the states, and then proceeded to release a sculpt 10x better than Bandai Japan did, Their product showed proper emotion in the sculpt. While Japan tends to stylize their American figures how they see fit. ;)

Ill always appreciate BC releasing kid-centered stuff like the action Godzillas and the playsets, along with their figures for the MUTOs (especially the female MUTO!)

Definitely, they didn't have to release all their classic figures retail but they did, so they could reach a wider audience and introduce new fans to Godzilla. When I first bought that old Bandai pack of destruction and the GMK set when I was a little kid it was amazing. 2014 may have been weak gimmick figures at first for the younger kids, but like you said, they released playsets and an amazing Bandai vinyl figure that far surpassed the Japan equivalent

My closest local Wally restocked again... 6 or 8 Mothras, two each of the ShodaiGoji, MireGoji, King Ghidorah and one lonely King Caesar...

Going to check the other locals later...

Good grief. I sure hope that they have more than that planned. -_-
