Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations discussion

[ChunkyGodzilla]

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

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

.

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.

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.

Maybe Chunky just saw the Fusion version?

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

Has anyone seen these at CVS?

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!

[GreenAiden555]

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!

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.

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.

If they're given the movie license...
