Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations discussion

[Poe Ghostal]

Love them or hate them, the BC figures are the best thing to happen to young Goji fans. I had Trendmastes when I was a pup and these are waaaaay more film accurate.

Related note, I donated one of the big Final Wars Godzillas to Toys for Tots last year. I've also managed to get two of my younger cousins and a friend's son into Godzilla over the years.

Has the latest BC wave started showing up yet?

Should be any day now, really.

Found the Tokyo Vinyls at a TRU in Indianapolis (South US 31).

They're going for $17.99 in this part of the country.

Dude no way! I'm going to that same one in a couple weeks! Nice to meet a fellow G-fan in Indiana! Im in Kokomo

The Tokyo Vinyls finally appeared in my local TrU. I already have them, but I was glad to see them on a physical shelf regardless. Same $17.99 others have reported.

[Superrex]

So...who remembers that SD G54 they showed off there?

My guess is that a new wave featuring it has already been planned.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Yeah, I was wondering why it hadn't appeared on TrU.com when the other two did. Of course, the other two figures were confirmed well before our first look at the G'54, so I wasn't terribly surprised that I had to wait on that one.

Well, I saw two of those "Tokyo Vinyl" figures at my local TRU, and they looked even less appealing to me than in the images shown of them earlier. I have no problem with toys with a style other than "movie accurate" (or what ever you would call them), in fact, I probably like those other kinds more. However, these "Tokyo Vinyl" figures just don't seem to be my cup of tea.

....these "Tokyo Vinyl" figures just don't seem to be my cup of tea.

I was tempted to buy them until I saw them first-hand. The size is a turnoff for me! Had the final product been half the size, I'd have bought them in a heartbeat. Call me crazy, but the sculpt loses any appeal when it's this big.

I liked the Godzilla, until I saw the pic of it facing forward. It looks alright from that front angle that it was always shown in, but from the front or back, it looks like someone stretched it horizontally.

I might still buy Godzilla, just to have something different. But I most likley will hold off on all of them save G54.

[gatorzilla]

Has anyone tried emailing Bandai USA just to find out whatelse they have planned for the Godzilla line or why on their website there is not a single thing about Godzilla on it? You would think it would have a section to itself like Ben Ten and Power Rangers

[Jomei]

Except that Godzilla is a much less hot property in the states right now.

[SaiyanRider54]

Sooooo......when the hell do the 6 inch figures come out? These "Tokyo vinyl" figures are VERY uninteresting to me...

[zilla103192]

I think I will buy the translucent Burning Godzilla, and paint my old one up like regular Heisei G.

[Jomei]

I don't believe there's any new information here, but you can see the full range of figures offered this year.

edit: Wait, this confirms a "Fusion Series" translucent Rainbow Mothra! Did we know this yet? Oddly I'm not seeing the Fusion Series Burning G... is it off the table?

[GreenAiden555]

NICE Mothra! I MAY have to buy another!

And the new G2K... Don't know if want the blue fin one now it has green skin...

Green? Looks black to me... a bit hard to tell, though, I guess.

[GreenAiden555]

Brightness on my screen was a bit low.

Yeah, looks a little more black now.

[wataru]

So...using the same molds, they use different vinyl for 2012? Nothing new at all. MEHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Same thing Bandai Japan has done with all of their translucent figures. I mean, you could judge them on their own merit instead of dismissing the entire concept of translucent editions of molds outright, but okay.

I won't touch the '68 Goji, but the other ones look pretty appealing to me--especially Mechagodzilla!
