G14 had plenty of merchandise honestly for the popularity it has. It's no Marvel or DC, but it had plenty of stuff I thought. Bandai released plenty of stuff, you had the NECA figure, Sideshow had that awesome Maquette(with another statue coming soon!), and a ton of other stuff you could find at a place like Hot Topic during the release of the movie.

Agreed. A lot of stuff was available during that film, and I still see leftovers in stores now. The only issue I had with Godzilla 2014 was the fact that a lot of that merchandise was very low in quality, with the exception of the NECA figure.

Bandai Japan has even shown some disappointment in the last few years. The Movie Monster Series making a comeback in 2014 was exciting but could have done more. I'm not going to say anything until I see what they have to offer for Shin Gojira though.
Banpresto has me excited, however.

I just hope the movie monster series doesn't keep piggy backing on BC

This. That's what really disappointed me... the EX series is a good concept, and Bandai has proved it by having done it for the Ultra Monsters line, but reissuing all of your figures especially when you have the ability AND money to create new molds is kind of a lazy move. A smart cash grab for the business, but a lazy decision.
I'm not a big fan of reissues in general, but now that a lot of them haven't seen release in a good 10+ years at least it makes sense to bring a few back. I'd be surprised if the Japanese Godzilla 1954 doesn't see a reissue with all of the "classic" style that the new film has.

There was a lot no doubt, I just meant we saw things planned that never came out, and I just hope what we see for Shin Gojira all comes out. I was excited about NECA's non-figure plans and sad none of that ever got produced.

I'm quoting myself, but the memories of going to the mall and finding all that merchandise at hot topic and getting the Art of Destruction book has me with goosebumps and excited for G2. It was one of the cooler aspects of waiting for the film.

I'm sure Japanese fans are getting that feeling with Resurgence coming out.

I think I said it before, but I'll say it again. I doubt that ANYTHING is gonna be made that is aimed at the US market, even from BC. Of course, there will be plenty available, from AmiAmi, HLJ, US e-tailers, B&M specialty shops, even Amazon. But if anyone thinks that we will be seeing stuff in Wal-Mart, Target, TRU, K-Mart, you're fooling yourselves...

Pretty sure it's been confirmed BC will be making merchandise for G16. I don' blame you on doubting them, though :P

I do, I do! I doubt them wholeheartedly! When someone finds 'em in a US store, THEN I'll believe! BC has a habit of saying things & then failing to deliver. I believe they promised MUTOs at one point, & did we get them? No! :mad:

Not to incite another BC argument, but I completely agree with this. I have some faith that, for the sake of money, they'l cash in on the G16 hype - but look at their track record. Still none of the requested monsters, after a pretty long time, still reissuing G'54, etc.

I'd be happy to get a BC Shin Gojira, I actually like their vinyls of Godzilla 2014 more than Bandai.

MUTO's came out in the chibi form but for the 6 inch etc? I don't think that was ever promised. Besides, maybe stores weren't interested in selling them? It's not just "we made this figure and you have to sell it now" for retail.

It's WAY too early to start the "I doubt this will happen" crap even though they flat out said last year that the focus will be on G16 and the movie isn't even out yet.
Your misconceptions and fantasies along with your misguided sense of entitlement don't dictate my actions.

I'm getting excited but I'm gonna hold off on HLJ to wait for the figures to go up on Hobby Search. I like HLJ and all but of the majority of stuff I've preordered from them, they only stocked like one of those items into my cart while the rest remain "backordered." HobbySearch responded to my preorder and shipped it pretty quickly though.

At twice the price roughly, I'm thinking Monster King Series is a deluxe scale, maybe a 10" like BC releases.

It's referring to this line.

Japanese releases of the 10-inch BC figures, and a 10-inch G16 figure, which for all we know is also a BC figure they're releasing first.
