As monotonous as re-releases are, those "fusion" figures just look really cool! I'm feeling especially partial to gigan, he just looks real nice, but then it's hard to make gigan look bad!

My local Toys R Us got some of the figures in a while ago, apparently, as they only had the normal Godzilla and a bunch of 11"ers.

I was disappointed to find my local Toys R Us is basically cleaned out. They have a small spot for Tokyo Vinyl figures and a spot for the 12" toys, which they still only carry the previous wave of. But no place for the basic vinyl figures.

I have no interest in Tokyo Vinyl, so I guess I'm going to go go on a special trip to find Mecha74 and/or Fusion figures.

It's not a colossal inconvenience, just a bit disappointing.
I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

I'm curious to see how the whole Bandai USA Godzilla toy line sells.....they seem to sell out well but what do you guys think?


Also has anyone considered emailing Bandai USA and asking what their upcoming plans are for the Godzilla toy line? You'd think they want to expand it possibly or something?

I just wish K-mart would start selling them again. There isn't a TRU anyplace close to me.

Why so hostile to K-Mart/Sears? We're running out of brick & mortar stores as it is.

I was disappointed when I saw them in person, the Tokyo Vinyls. They look cool, but they looked too squished for me.

I saw the Tokyo Turds at Toys R Us a few weeks ago. The Godzilla is one hideous hunk of vinyl.

I dig the MechaG. They took the time to put a rustic overlay on him, I think he looks pretty slick.

I've passed up on Gigan two times, though. Which is odd, because I was anticipating that one.

The Tokyo Vinyls, though... I did a lot of research and posting about those months ago on Skreeonk.com... and I still have no interest in the Godzilla. I'll pick up the MG when its at a more reasonable price.

There are some folks on ebay asking for up to $35 for those BC FS Vinyls, & they're only $12.99 at TRU! :eh:

I picked up the Fusion Godzilla the other day. They had the Tokyo Vinyls & I passed on the Godzilla. Didn't care for the look. But my wife thought he was too cute, so I might pick him up later just for her :g2k:

I stopped caring much for Bandai Creations' six inch figure line long ago... pretty much after the first wave of figures back in 2002. Even the Fusion figures don't do it for me either...

Personally I enjoy the Tokyo Vinyl figures. I found them, perhaps, the more unique items to be introduced by Bandai USA. My only nitpick is the fact that MechaGodzilla is smaller than Godzilla.

Does anyone know if the paint app is better on this wave's G2K figure yet or no?

I'll make them appear with my burning desire.

Nah, I'll be looking for Fusion Gigan and Mechagodzilla then. My slight interest in the Tokyo Vinyls has cooled off I think, so I'll probably pass there.

Holy Crap, Jomei actually made the Mothra's appear with burning desire apparently.

That is beyond impressive.


Anyway, I like the Tokyo Vinyls-and apparently I'm alone in liking the Godzilla more than the MechaG. I'm also looking forward to the 54 G.

I have all three of this wave's standard 6". Only have the Fusion MechaG because it was all I could find at first. I've since located the Gigan and Godzilla locally and I might pick up the Fusion Gigan - I like the bright green.

The Fusion Godzilla 68 is the only one I really have no love for.

Ive seen Fusion Mecha-G and Godzilla 68 at Toys 'R Us and they're pretty meh. I may eventually pick up 2 and repaint one with movie accurate colors. I have yet to see Fusion Gigan and Rainbow Mothra in person tho.

Man i was stupid not to pick up the standard version of MG when he came out
