What toy did you just buy?

[Tyler]

No THE FLY?

IT's WORTHLESS!

The Fly is from Fox not Universal.

[Brad Simmons]

Well, it's not Godzilla, but it's still movie monster-related and it's pretty neat:

The 8" Sideshow toys that came out in the early 2000's are still THE most accurate depictions of the Universal monsters I've ever seen. They're simply exquisite pieces. They even made a Metaluna Mutant from "The Island Earth", one of my favorites in the line!

I've been trying to get into companies other than just Bandai recently, so the other day I put an order in for this guy:

I love the red/teal color scheme. Hopefully it looks just as awesome in person.

Revoltech Gigan Showa, have to wait a week for it.
In two weeks I can buy Revoltech Heisei Gamera.

I picked up one of the remote-controlled Aioshima maser cannons a few weeks back (did I post that before? I don't think I did...) as an alternative to the Revoltech Mogera I was thinking of getting - HLJ marked them down big time - but I haven't taken any pics yet. And just recently I scored three of the M1-Go Matango vinyls for a crazy sweet price. I put a pic of them here.

Just curious, but what's the scale on the Aioshima Laser cannon?

[menschenjaeger]

I/48th. Same as the movie, I believe. It's a beast. If you're searchin, I typoed - it's "Aoshima."

[godzilla898]

Not exactly a toy, but I just got Kaiju Busters off of eBay for $15.

Holy crap

How much did that set you back?

[menschenjaeger]

HLJ knocked their price down 80%. It was originally retailing for something like $230, but for a hair over $50, I couldn't pass it up. If you can stand either the shipping $$$ or the long wait for cheaper shipping, I recommend it highly. It's as close as you'll get to a prop or prop replica. As much as I love it, I'm still more excited about the vinyl

Wow, only $50....*NICE* grab. I have all the Bandai Machine Chronicles figures 1 and 2...but I've always been interested in bigger scale mecha...

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Thanks to a tip from RedZillaKing (gracias, my friend!) I just received my Marmit Orga today! I love this guy, puts Bandai's six-incher to shame, in my opinion.

Orga's arrival threatens the tranquility of MonsterLand!


Who dares oppose the space beast!?


Godzilla does battle with yet another cosmic menace!

[Fairy Mothra]

UGH. I'm so jealous. I don't even like Orga all that much but that figure is great. I want it to go with my Marmit G2K :c

[RedZillaKing]

De nada! And man o man is he purty. Looks Waaaaaay better than the Bandai. Its times like this that I wonder how people can hate these figures! Titanosaurus! My Titanosaurus! Where aaaaaarrrreeee yooooouuu???

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Its times like this that I wonder how people can hate these figures!

I hear you, pal. I can understand preferring film-accurate versions to stylized ones (I enjoy both, obviously), but I'm routinely surprised by the amount of vitriol some folks will hurl at the Marmits, M1s, Marusans, etc...

Whether one likes these guys or not, they're wonderfully realized in their own way.

[menschenjaeger]

This would be a good place to post a pic of Mechani-Kong as he stares into the light of all that element X, with the caption "...IT'S BEAUTIFUL..."

I never had any use for Orga until I saw that bad boy. Nice score, CD. Also...NEGORA!

[Jomei]

Orga looks awesome! He's not my favorite monster, but I think it was suited to its role in G2K. Either way, it's a fantastic looking figure.

Not a toy... so sue me... but hear my story first!!

So on Monday, I stopped by my local comic place, to get the new G-fan, KOM #12, and Legends #4. I buy them and headed out the door, when all of a sudden my G-sense kicked in, and I saw this out of the corner of my eye.



I turned right back around, grabbed it, and said "I'm buying this too!!"

haha, the owner said he figured I would want it when they got it in.

I haven't had a Godzilla shirt since 7th grade.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Obviously not a toy, but I'm sharing it anyway.

I just received my Australian theatrical day-bill announcing Filmways' release of Godzilla Vs. Gigan. There are some imperfections in the ink, but it's in great shape for a forty-year-old movie poster.

[Destroyer]

Well, I did it. I ordered a Bandai Kaiser Ghidorah off Ebay for $95. Call me insane if you want, but I really like the monster and wanted the figure.
