Found another youtube review (Leslie Chambers) of the Xplus 25cm King Ghidorah:
And he also reviews of the Xplus USA King Ghidorah resin statue, one that I'm not all that familiar with and I haven't seen it mentioned much on these boards:
And finally, a review from Samson West for an oldie, but goodie...the 1984 Bandai 8 inch King Ghidorah figure:

I especially like the funky retro look of some of the older toys, not many better than this old skool figure!
Bullmark Standard Size Showa King Ghidorah (1970)
And here are a few more figures with even more stylized looks.
Popy King Ghidorah (1978)
Yamakatsu King Ghidorah (1983)

Nope, had to sell it due to its big size, too big for the new place.KlenSeven wrote:You still have that beautiful Pilot Ace?
Here it is in the center of my old display.

The gold Pilot Ace KG was on my most wanted list until Gigabrain came out with theirs. Great figure though. I even once came across the infamous rare "Blue" variant a few years in Tokyo, and it was crazy expensive...

You up for doing spotlight #22 in a few weeks after AWMGodzilla62 finishes the next one?
