Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations Discussion

[ZillaMaster91]

Yea, I am referring to everything Bandai Creation has released after Wave 5 which included "First Godzilla", "Mechagodzilla '74" and the 12 inch "FW Gigan". Everything since then has been a complete and utter waste of time and effort. Wave 5 was disappointing enough because it only contained 2 new molds of the smaller figures, but at least they mixed some new in with the old. Next thing we know, BC is going to start releasing solid blue Destoroyahs and solid pink Godzilla 1968s once the "Fusion" line ends so they will have an excuse to keep pumping out the same exact molds. I was a hardcore supporter of Bandai Creation for the longest time and would get so mad/frustrated at fellow "fans" who refused to support the line when they was still giving us new figures. But now Bandai Creation are officially skreeonking me off to and if they are only going to keep making new "Tokyo Vinyls" molds and nothing else, then I am definitely done with buying their products.

Don't understand your hatred towards Tokyo Vinyl. They are nice, unique figures.

Thank you!

The Tokyo Vinyls are just different. Of course their style may not appeal to some collectors, but there are indeed people out there who collect these kind of figures.
I for one find that they are quite cool, and neat. Yes they're different, and that's what I like about them. I guess with the Tokyo Vinyls, it's each to his own I presume. I do hope that they continue producing them. Ironically it's the only thing I'm willing to buy from Bandai USA/ Creations' line of Godzilla figures!

Quick question, are any of the non-fusion 6 inch figures different from their original releases? I'm buying/bought Gigan and Mechagodzilla since I missed out on those, but I skipped G'1968 because I had his first release.

I'm interested in knowing if G2K is any different. I want one, but the paint apps are a bit... Eh.

I mean, I plan on customizing one, but still.

I'm not sure if they rereleased G'68. They did rerelease it in the Burning Fusion style.

To me it looks bigger & has a diffrent paint job. I won't know for sure til this weekend. I have to dig my original G2K out of the garage. If there is a diffrence I'll be sure to post pics.

G'68 was re-released in the first Fusion wave, along with his fusion version.

You said G'2000's spines were black and purple? I just pulled mine out and his spines are also black and purple, and he's the 1st release. Sometimes a brand new figure has a fresher looking paint job compared to the one that's a few years old and dusty.

Maybe Chunky just saw the Fusion version?

also, if you could, ChunkyGodzilla, that'd be wicked sweet.

Has anyone seen these at CVS?

I like stylized Godzilla figures from Marmit, M-1 and Gigabrain, and I think chibi-style Godzilla figures are adorable...yet I absolutely hate the Tokyo Vinyls. There's just something really awful about them that I can't put my finger on.

Perhaps they're too stylized for you. I personally love the style. He also did these great Ultraman figures:

Ultraman looks quite grumpy!
Those do look quite adorable... I WANT!

[SJM925]

I NEED that Ultraman!

[Rody]

Ultraman looks like Donkey Kong.

I'm not sure that's a good thing.

[Petezilla]

Are these the same size as the Tokyo Vinyl figures? I always belived these were quity tiny (which is why I never bothered getting them)...?

Good one, Plexton!

[Plexton]

Thanks!

[4Tankzilla]

Looks amazing!

If the Tokyo Vinyl figures aren't so much bad in themselves as much as coming at the wrong time. If they came alongside a new wave, or were the same price, I'd be a lot more inclined towards them, and I think most of us who dislike them would be.

[GodzillaRangerPrime]

I really wonder what merchandise Bandai's gonna release when Legendary Pictures releases their film.

I hope they have the skills to recreate whatever design Legendary comes up with.

That is one beautiful Mothra; the way the light illuminates the wings is quite something.
