Majority of it is from movies products such as the NECA figures.

Some ass jockey decided to not crop dust the crowd, dude let off some straight napalm and cleared a 20 ft radius and didn’t flinch, he just moved up closer. I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

Are you talking about boxes with a back description? I don’t remember it saying that Godzilla is a reptile

It's not a proof on Godzilla's reptilian origins. He said "lizard" because general audiences think of Godzilla as a giant fire-breathing lizard and they need to understand the joke.

As much as I hate that line, I don't think it should be taken seriously to be used as evidence that he is a lizard.

fish scales are different from reptile scales. Godzilla has precisely reptilian scales, like crocodiles

And with that, there's another archosaur trait.
I'd change my username if I had the chance. It's a typo. It's supposed to be "66," and it's a very unfortunate thing to have on my account. Please help. :lol:

But he has gills that only fish have.

In my opinion, Godzilla is something unknown and purely new. Like MUTOs but less bizzare.

This does not make sense since the monsters in MonsterVerse are not mutants, but animals of a completely natural origin, so in any case they come from some evolutionary line. it is impossible that they are completely not amenable to our well-known taxonomy. also reptiles can have gills

Yeah, I remember that you said that "reptiles still have genes for gills, but if a reptile borns with them, it will be an ugly-ass unfuctional mutant". However Godzilla is fully functional.

gills can be modified and improved. In this case, the gills of the reptiles will function
