hey guys...joined today..probably wont be very active

but..

is there any word if a godzilla 1962(king-goji) is in the works for the large monster series.... a 30cm version has been released but that would be too big and out of scale for me

Just curious, what would you guys say is the best Godzilla figure in the line so far?

I like the 30 cm 1968 Godzilla the best.

No word yet on a 25cm version of the 1962 Godzilla BUT they are coming out with a 1968 25cm version, so anything is possible down the road I'm sure. May happen eventually.

I just got my 30cm Godzilla 1989 in the last hour or so.

It was a SKREEONK to put together. Those tail piece sections just didn't want to agree with me! But I managed to get it assembled, and the figure is pretty great. I love the articulated jaw, a nice touch if you ask me.

You did use a blowdryer to heat up the plast area that you were trying to assemble, right?

[ZillaMaster91]

Of course. But still, it was still a tad bit challenging even with the vinyl softened.
Despite that, it was worth it. The figure looks wonderful.

I also did a comparison shot with Godzilla '89 and Rodan '64.

Hey what is the release date again for Titanosaurus?

[Legion1979]

I'm considering parting with an original 30cm 1968 Godzilla to help pay for (or trade for) a Titano. Any takers?

[Benagon]

You might want to pm Brad Simmons. He's looking for a Godzilla '68.

[ZillaMaster91]

Hey what is the release date again for Titanosaurus?

Towards the end of August.

Monday is the pre-order deadline too.

[ZillaMaster91]

Thank god I reserved mine straight after pre-orders came up!

[BandaiBandit]

Thanks for the info on Titano!
Ya, I ordered a few a couple days ago.
Can't wait to get them!

To quote Mr. Plinkett from Red Letter Media: "Oh my God, what's wrong with your face???!!!" This Godzilla's face, like many Xplus figures, just seems off and doesn't look like anything seen in the films.

Anyways...any news/pics yet of the 25 cm G68/Angilas 68 figures?

[ZillaMaster91]

So far nothing on the G68 / Anguirus 68 figures yet. I'm expecting that we see prototype images and reservations come up by the end of this week... I hope.

Yeah it doesn't look a whole lot like the 1989 face specifically. Additionally, I can't stand the bright teeth and the strong red/pink tongues these Godzilla figures keep ending up with. Just doesn't look right.

[Brad Simmons]

X-Plus will start shipping Kiryu, Varan, and Mogeura on Monday according to an email I received from them. WHOOT!!

[Plexton]

Personally I think Godzilla 89 looks terrific. X Plus figures started out great and the detail has only gotten better with time, in my opinion.
