I think the BC Hedorah has a simple charm to it.

That Kamoebas would make a really cool frog/toad kaiju.

For me though the worst is the BC Final Wars Anguirus. The colors on it are so bad.

Looks more like Magura from Ultraman

I remember when that wave of Bandai Creations showed up in local stores here, and I thought "Oh cool, they're selling Godzilla toys here again! Let's see what we've got...two Godzillas, Destoroyah, and....a melted pile of black plastic with some major derp face."

Everything after this post has been a lost cause. I don't even think it's a matter of debate, the Y MSF Oodako is the worst figure ever. The bland sculpt. Zero articulation. The fact that it looks like the something you could pick up in a drug store for a dollar yet it costs nearly 50 times that!

If I want an Oadako, any dime-store octopus works.

Yep, and you wouldn't have to pay over 50 bucks for it too.

Yeah between the Y-MSF Octopus, Snake and Rock, they have certainly staked their claim for worst Kaiju toys ever. Or have they? The USA Badai Creation Hedorah is pretty bad slop as well. OK, not as bad I guess.
After looking at the mentioned Y-MSF I'm almost encouraged to start making my own Godzilla molds at home, printing a header card and stapling it to a ziplock bag :-P
Better yet, buy a rubber snake at the Dollar store, and brand the header card W-TF!

I can't fault YMS-F for the impulse buy Kong-related items (octopus, sea snake, rock) since he's just trying to extract money from hapless collectors. Sculpt-wise I also give him a semi-pass since he's just entirely a 1-man show. That being said, many garage kit makers are 1-man shows and their sculpts are absolutely beautiful so I don't give him too much of a pass.

But then you have relatively large companies like bandai america...and while on the whole i'm a proponent of what they're doing, they have some $hit sculpts. Marmit has some $hit sculpts as well

then there's stuff that is sought after and collectible despite having an atrocious sculpt. Shogun warriors godzilla, i'm talking to you.

I think my original post and the responses to it illustrate pretty clearly the difference between me, the poor 18-year-old fan, and the hardcore collectors on this forum. It's just amusing that my vote was for a toy that pissed me off as a kid because I couldn't play with it and most of the replies are about toys that are horrible from a display/collection standpoint.

Does anyone have anything to add about atrocious Trendmasters build quality though? They have to had produced the single flimsiest toyline in history.

I actually like many of the Y-MSF sculpts, and am thankful us fans have access to get many of these figures, but it just seems a shame that the octopus, snake and rock were made. Hopefully the criticism of the Y-MSF won't deter the individual that's making them, rather provide him with a measure or barometer for his standards.

well if you mean from playability and what not...then I wouldn't know.
as a kid there were zero godzilla toys available except the the wonderful selection of godzilla and...godzilla from imperial. i had to draft/conscript some transformers toys to double as mechagodzilla and king ghidorah

i honestly think if i were 6 to 8 years old when trendmasters came out...i wouldn't really complain about them at all. except for teh $hit ghidorah sculpts.

@DrBreakfastMachine,

I have a few of the 5" TM figures: Godzilla, Gigan, Mechagodzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and Mecha-King Ghidorah. I also have the smaller Goji & Mothra figures.
I've had pretty much all of these figures for over a decade. The only ones that haven't survived were Rodan, King Ghidorah, and Battra. I don't remember what was wrong with Ghidorah, but Rodan's wings are pretty flimsy. Battra, I think was broken from the start.

Otherwise, however, these figures have held up nicely.

Y-MSF can do a fine job on actual monsters, a lot of their newer work is impressive, and it's great for a one-man show. But Oadako, the rock and the snake were pretty meh.

I want all of them. So that I can melt them down and make them look more like Kamoebas.

The original 8 inch Gigan is pretty atrocious.

Yeah... what the hell was that? It looks like a bootleg.

Edit Hooooolee shit. There's a new contender for worst.
