I love the 64 style, but god do I hate the yellow eyebrows. They are so out of place.
Don't try to be something else. Don't try to be less. Great things are going to happen in your life. Great things. And with that will come great responsibility.

I agree. It's the only thing that keeps me from really loving that suit or, at least, the X-Plus toys of them. :(

Yet another X-Plus Godzilla that looks off. Something just doesn't seem right about the head.

^Really? The other recent X-Plus Godzillas have been lacking, but this one looks right on IMO.

Legion is right, it docent look quite like a still from the film.

However, the previous 30cm g64 also looked a little off in the pics, but once I got mine I was blown away. One of the best figures ever made in my opinion. Looking forward to this one, included base and all!

Wait...so a Tokyo SOS style larva comes with a 1964 Godzilla? Or is this is how the 1964 design looked like? (Haven't watched the film in a long time).

It's the '64 Mothra

I'll be passing on the new MosuGoji since I have the 30 cm one. What I want is the remainder of the DAM figures, especially King Ghidorah...c'mon X-Plus!

^My new X-Plus Megalon thanks you!
I kind of imagine every TK flame-war actually sounding like this

I'm creating a Fan Page on Facebook specifically around the Godzilla line of X-Plus figures. I'm hoping to launch it at the beginning of the year. Would it be ok to post a link here when done, or is that a no-no?

Anyone get the Anguirus and G'67 in yet? The G looks pretty bad on Hobby Search but I'm still going through with my order. No new pics on Angy though so I'm just curious. Should be getting mine a little into next month, might just pile on the G'54, MG'74, and Hedorah 25cm into the shipment if they come out quickly enough. Pocketbook will get a relatively easy month in February/March with just the 25cm G'64.

Did get Biollante in. Wow. That's all I've got to say.

I think it's out. It's sort of "old" now by X-Plus's standards. They were working on releasing the figures announced a couple of months ago, which are out now by the way! I just got an email from Hobby Search asking for payment for the G '54 and Mechagodzilla figures. WHOOT!! :-)

If X-Plus doesn't buy the rights to this:

and release it as a figure, I'll be forced to conclude that this company is evil. LOL

Why does that just scream "$600" to me....both loving and dreading the possibility of an X-Plus Showa KG
