So...is Jakks intending to release 2 foot scale versions of Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah?

[Mr. Yellow]

And still no word from Bandai America...

Bandai ain’t exactly in a good way right now.

I’m sure we’ll find out something from them soon but is there a reason why you’re happy about that?

With Toys R Us gone now, who would even carry them?

For that matter, I guess Walmart and maybe Target for JAKKS?

Toys R Us being gone is a big factor.

I'd like to see if Lanard got the license for the Bandai America level products, their Kong stuff is the likes of which Bandai America Godzilla should have been.

There are plenty of other options besides Toys R Us. The fact that Bandai USA figures (12in and Chibi) are getting re-stocked and up for preorder on Entertainment Earth tells me the they must be getting ready. Those wouldn’t randomly just reappear

Not really "happy", just find it funny. Bandai of America lost it's big flagship line to Hasbro with Power Rangers so I'm curious if they're even gonna stay afloat at all.

Still 6 months out from the movie launch. Every company is doing announcements on their own time. I did reconnect with a contact at the company at SDCC so when they're ready to go, they'll let me know.

If they do this they can have all my money

[ultrazilla]

I really hope Sideshow, Prime 1 or Chronicle Collectibles are doing some large scale statues of the big four kaijus, especially King Ghidora. This movie is literally asking for statues.

Looks like JAKKS are stepping up their game for round 2, kind of glad that I passed on their original, this looks much nicer.

[Maritonic]

Those spines are glorious. Very anxious to see what they do with Rodan, Ghidorah, and Mothra.

[UltramanGoji]

According to some of those eBay listings, it's half the size of the original.

I'd assume to accommodate for a Ghidorah about the same size as the original Godzilla release. I mean, could you imagine a Ghidorah in scale to that original release? Thing would be HUGE

Double-edged sword, good for proper scaling but horrible for my wallet because now I'm gonna have to buy all of them!

Same!

[Dv-218]

The mere thought of a Jakks Ghidorah is both awesome and absolutely horrifying at the same time. Can't even imagine what shelf will be able to hold such a behemoth

Actually screw the shelf- i'm gonna get this thing and use it as a giant, three-headed gargoyle for my window

Absolutely beautiful!

Gonna focus on something a little odd, I love the box art. I can't tell you how much I absolutely despised that terrible photoshop job of Godzilla that was on pretty much all of the merchandise for Godzilla (2014)

God me fuckin too. That thing was so ugly, idk what they were thinking when they used it.

[GFAN198423]

Seems like JAKKS may be taking over for Bandai Creations.

Lmao this. Seriously, the art they used for the 2014 merchandise was the living definition of godawful. The quality jump here is absolutely gigantic, you can really tell they are putting effort into marketing this thing.
