^My new X-Plus Megalon thanks you!
I actually mainline Ibizious straight between my toes. If they start getting too stiff, I go for the eyeballs...

I'm creating a Fan Page on Facebook specifically around the Godzilla line of X-Plus figures. I'm hoping to launch it at the beginning of the year. Would it be ok to post a link here when done, or is that a no-no?

Anyone get the Anguirus and G'67 in yet? The G looks pretty bad on Hobby Search but I'm still going through with my order. No new pics on Angy though so I'm just curious. Should be getting mine a little into next month, might just pile on the G'54, MG'74, and Hedorah 25cm into the shipment if they come out quickly enough. Pocketbook will get a relatively easy month in February/March with just the 25cm G'64.

Did get Biollante in. Wow. That's all I've got to say.

I think it's out. It's sort of "old" now by X-Plus's standards. They were working on releasing the figures announced a couple of months ago, which are out now by the way! I just got an email from Hobby Search asking for payment for the G '54 and Mechagodzilla figures. WHOOT!! :-)

If X-Plus doesn't buy the rights to this:

and release it as a figure, I'll be forced to conclude that this company is evil. LOL

Why does that just scream "$600" to me....both loving and dreading the possibility of an X-Plus Showa KG

Is the black one an actual release? If so, what is it supposed to represent!?

There was a black MG1 in the Godzilla Island series, so that is my guess.

I asked this in the x-plus group, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask here.

Are there any figure in the line that would be sorta in scale with the Monsterarts or 6" Bandais? I know stuff like Megalon wouldn't be, too tall, but I know that some monsters are supposed to be bigger, so yeah... Anything that looks good/decent would be appreciated!

no, they're all way too big for the bandais.

Happy New Year! Hope Santa brought lots of kaiju goodies to you all...
I voted for Ghidorah! He would be an AWESOME addition to my (or any) collection. I am waiting for my 30cm X-Plus Godzilla 54 to arrive, anybody have one yet?
Hope 2012 proves to be a great year for new X-Plus releases (not all at once please)!

I'm expecting my G '54 and MechaG some time this week. Can't wait to get them.

My gut is telling me we'll see a Mothra Imago soon. Anyway, at least that's my guess. The 25cm G '64 with the two Internet exclusive larvae would be a nice segway.

Yeah, I would like to see something other than a larva Mothra form X-Plus, but there would be so many choices for them.

Let's see..
    Aqua Mothra
    Armored Mothra
    Mothra Leo
    Mothra Imago
    Mothra Primitive larva
    Mothra Eternal
Not too sure of the naming but I think I got it right.

If X-Plus did another Mothra I'm positive it will be a Showa version.

Have they done any non-Godzilla monsters that date past 1989? No.

Yeah, I would be extremely disappointed if we saw any other Mothra Imago before the Showa version. Same can be said for King Ghidorah. There's something like 5 or 6 of those as well. :shock:

At least X-Plus has got it right with the Godzillas, they've already released the most memorable years, with the exception of needing to release a Burning, Meltdown, 2000 and Final Wars versions. After those four, then Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah, I'll be done. They also released the most important second tier kajui too, with Goro, Minya, Anguirus, Gigan, Mothra larva, Baragon and Megalon. Unfortunately Megalon wasnt a 30cm version. It will be easy to see what size scale the other B characters will be. Maybe Titano and Seesar will only be 25cm. Something tells me we'll see a 30cm Titano though.

I absolutely love my resin Mothra Imago, but I wouldn't be opposed to shelling out some cash for a new vinyl sculpt. I'd like to see X-Plus do a version of the old girl in "mid wing-flap" or something, bring some energy into the figure.
