Yes. My TRU has at least 6 of both Goji and MG. and they are still too small for $20 if you ask me.

the larger, more realistic looking standard BC are cheaper!

You are missing the point if you expect the stylized SD figures to be more realistic than your BC in order to be more expenve, The Tokyo Vinyls are much more professional looking than most of the generally cruddy BC sculpts. And they are made of higher quality material.

Why do they need to use higher-quality material to make the Tokyo Vinyl figures?

Bulkier figures. So they wont sag and hold tighter at the joints.

Okay, I understand I guess. It seems a little useless to me though.

It's NOT useless. If the vinyl isnt upto par for a larger, heavier figure with odd limbs (like the arms) and standing at an odd slant without a third leg support, it wont stand up, it will sag.

Also, these are new molds with bigger packaging AND the price of oil. $20 isnt that much when a regular 6'' action figure is $15 now and uses the same body mold (DCUC line)

I'm pretty sure these are on here elsewhere, but does anyone think these 2 (Or four?) figures see the light of day?Image

HA, I wish... That prototype of KG is nice looking, though. Wish they went with that instead.

BC really should release MKG & Anguirus; they look a lot better than MG, Sokogecki-Goji and SpaceG do.

That Anguirus is far superior to the current mold. I think it would be the Angy to have for a while.

That MKG looks as good as the Japan one, if not better.
The KG prototype looks much better than the one they did.
Is that the first time Bandai's made a '55 Angy in something larger than Gashapon?

I collect VERY few Bandai USA Godzilla figures, but that Mecha-King Ghidorah figure looks pretty good, except for the fact that the wings are a bit too thick.
Anguirus looks NICE (looks better than its Japanese counterparts and the horrid BC Final Wars Anguirus), and I wouldn't mind buying that one... if it ever releases that is.

I inquired via e-mail to BC a few years back about the unreleased figures as well as with some suggestions and such. I was answered by a representative who unfortunately couldn't supply any information besides what was available at the time.

I think BC's 6" Gigan, MechaGodzilla, and Rainbow Mothra and the 12" Kiryu and FW Gigan toys, were all very well done. It obvious that BC is capable of doing some exceptional work, but they strike-out up as often as they succeed. If only that MKG and Anguirus had seen the light of day, then their batting average would have been significantly improved.

The MKG, GMK Goji and Space Godzilla dont impress me.

Heisei MG and Show Angy are VERY impressive.

...why? Sculpt-wise, it's definitely below the 6" Japanese version. So why dream for something that's not going to happen when a better version actually exists?
