^ The 1964 Rodan would be the prize for me.

They were repaints, sure, but they were pretty typical and crappy. I feel like every line gets the stupid 'clear' variant at some point, you know?

It's fine on Rainbow Mothra and Gigan, who look at least interesting in front of the light, but MechaG, G68, G2K and whatever other ones there were just looked really cheap and knock-off-ish.

G2vd's idea I agree with; if you've gotta reissue the figures, do something to make them worth getting. Even if it's gimmicky, it's at least something sort of different.

^Pop vinyl does the clear vinyl and glitter variant all of the time. The only difference between those and the Fusion Bandai figures is that the Pop ones actually look nice, even if the colors are inaccurate. Maybe Fusion MechaG would have been more appealing if it was blue.

I found this. A transparent spine G2K. It says fusion but the body isn't transparent. Just wanted to share this.

I think that was shown off at a convention before, along with an orange Burning Godzilla, but they haven't seen store shelves yet.
If you have digital copy codes for movies you want to give away, I'll gladly take them! :)

It opens with Shinji, Asuka, and Rei walking along the lifeless, red earth. Suddenly the ground begins to shake.
Godzilla bursts from the ground, killing the 3 pilots. Godzilla will then battle his newest opponent...

Nice to see I'm the only one interested in a Rodan 1964 :lol:
Oh well, I think it'd be cool.

I just wish instead of getting molds semi-based on their Japanese counterparts, we just actually got the same exact figure they're dishing out in Japan. Not a single BC figure has came out looking AS good or better than the Japanese version of the toy :/

^ Ok, I stand corrected, they're is 1 BC figure that came out not standing in the shadow of its Japanese counterpart...

The unreleased Angilas 1955 looked almost flawless... those bastards.

The one thing wrong with Anguirus 55 is that his head spikes looked like they didn't curve forward - and even then, that's not a very big issue at all.

BC Godzilla '14, King Caesar, and Destoroyah blow the Japanese releases completely out of the water. I also prefer the resculpted G'54.

It hurt Godzilla. That's why I think that.

Destroyah is totally one of their best figures; if not for the really nice sculpt, then for the great size in comparison to to other figures...

I also think MG74 is one of their very best, right up until the head. It's MechaGodzilla, but like most showa MG figures, the head's too narrow and looks best from the side. Give me the BC body and the Bandai Japan head and it's perfect.

Their unreleased Mecha-King Ghidorah looked pretty good too, though it's pretty much the same figure as the Godzilla Island Mecha-KG.

Why are they recalling this stuff. And you know if you ask them about godzilla, they will not answer.

They're not recalling anything... Unless you mean cancelling/ignoring....

I've tried many times. Everytime I ask them about the line, I get nothing.
