Monster X, Orga, Heisei or Millenium Mothra imago, Battra imago, Biollante, female M.U.T.O Titanosaurus, Megalon and Kiryu to name a few.

I don't understand why I am having such an impossible time with these sites! I tried to register on Imgur and it seemed to work. But now every time I click "Sign In", it takes me to the log in screen for about 3 seconds before I can type anything, then the screen automatically switches to the top trending images and posts. I have been going in this repeating cycle for 20 minutes. Do they purposefully make it to where IPhone users MUST download the App?

God, I hate being forced to learn new technology! :evil:

I tried uploading the pictures on my Photobucket account, but they now have a huge, ugly watermark on them. I tried starting up a Flickr account but for the life of me I can not figure out how to upload a friggin picture directly from my ancient iPhone without being forced to download the app. Are there any simple FREE photo hosting websites out there that do not have watermarks, nor require you to download an app? If I can find one that is easy to use then I can post pictures of these Bandai Creation figures.
I use Imgflip's meme maker
https://imgflip.com/memegenerator

All you have to do is upload the image from your computer and then just hit "generate the meme" after that all you have to do is copy the image url

It doesn't require any text or editing or a sign in

Thank you for the help! Petezilla's solution worked! :)

So here is what the repainted mouth of Godzilla '68 looks like now. It's certainly less pink looking than the one I have.

Here are the 3 recently stocked pegs at my local Walmart.

And then here are the two different tags.
This tag is for the Bandai Creation figures:

And finally, here is the tag for (I'm guessing) the Jakks Pacific figures. Unless these turn out to be new Bandai Creation sculpts? :?

I've actually turned my opinion around on these figures. I think I'm gonna start collecting them again. After all, they were the first figures I ever picked up when I started collecting back in 2003 ('course they've all been donated or destroyed now). It'd be fun to try and grab the complete set again.

Here is an image of the original variant

I really like the new mouth paint on the reissue it's much closer to the actual film's depiction of the 1968 Godzilla

To be honest it wouldn't actually be too bad to buy some of Bandai's reissues. They've been gone for several years and with Toys R Us gone they'll be shipping exclusively to Target and Wal-Mart which means they'll have much more exposure then before

If they see profit we may finally get figures we've always wanted and maybe get the Godzilla merchandise some of the retail exposure it had in the 90s under Trendmasters

Yea, it definitely looks a lot better than the original bright pink mouth. I may pick it up next time I am in there. But this line will have to draw more interest from others besides hardcore Godzilla fans. Many casual fans or even just kids looking for "cool looking dinosaurs" will need to support these figures also to keep the line afloat. That said, it is a shame that they didn't offer at least one new figure (even just a repainted "Burning Godzilla").

SERIOUSLY!

Why they can't just repaint the Burning Godzilla figure they have to a normal Heisei Godzilla

I mean it's one of their best figures!

I'm tempted to stop by the store and look for that King Ceasar since all the ones on Amazon are still over $30.

(I already have the other figures in Bandai Japan versions, but KCeasar for $12. is hard to ignore.)

Good question. Easiest way to cater a 'new' figure to the collectors. Same question can be delivered to BANDAI Japan.

I'm gonna head to Wal-mart today and see if they have the Godzilla figures. I need Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla.

If anyone is in the Harrison Arkansas area, Godzilla toys are now at Wal-Mart. King Caesar, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. I'm thinking about picking up Mechagodzilla and repainting him black with some battle damage.

I went yesterday and Mechagodzilla was the only one available. I picked him up and he looks awesome. I love him.

It is actually pretty nice having Godzilla merchandise of any kind at Wal-Mart

I only ever saw one Godzilla item at Wal-Mart during Godzilla 2014

To be fair Bandai Japan has done that for a wide release either which is a shame. Both sculpts are great and be vastly superior to that other heisei Godzilla bandai Japan kept reissuing
