...why? Sculpt-wise, it's definitely below the 6" Japanese version. So why dream for something that's not going to happen when a better version actually exists?

Because the superior version is inconsistently priced and a hair or so more difficult to obtain than an American counterpart would be.

Here, buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-BANDAI-MEC ... 5649e5d8e4

It's a good figure, it's in America and it's better sculpted. Sure its $75 but damn..

Actually $75 isn't terrible for that figure.

I didnt say it was. But if I were looking for a good MKG, and looking at the prices of the 6'' lines of MKG, Id go with the 8'' line and be happy to pay $75

The 6" one's pricing isn't so much too high as much as horribly inconsistent. I see it go for $35 on some websites, and $50 on others, and of course, eBay's all over the place. I know there's a rumor the 6" MKG and Destoroyah were produced in lower quantities, but Destoroyah's common due to re-issues.

If I wasn't in the process of purchasing a MonsterArts Godzilla, I'd possibly just go for that MKG.

If youre dumb enough to pay over $20 for a BC, no matter how old it is, you dont deserve money. It's not hatred on the line but damn... these figures WERENT rare, arent attractive, are sometimes horrible (GMK Goji) in design.

lol, the most I paid on a BC was probably sharp at $20 for Anguirus or Rodan 2004 back when they just came out, since this was before the local Toys R Us started carrying the series again.

I meant Bandai Japans' MKG.

Umm, Mechaghidora was reissued just as many times as Destroyah.

I was under the impression Destoroyah had been re-issued again in 2005 or 2006.

He was. In 2005. And so was Mechaghidora.

Actually, both 6" MKG & Destro have been (re)issued 4 times each.

Paying over $20 for a BC figure isn't a dumb thing just because you wouldn't do it.

As monotonous as re-releases are, those "fusion" figures just look really cool! I'm feeling especially partial to gigan, he just looks real nice, but then it's hard to make gigan look bad!

My local Toys R Us got some of the figures in a while ago, apparently, as they only had the normal Godzilla and a bunch of 11"ers.
