I never thought I'd need to understand quantum physics to understand a Godzilla movie, but here we are.

Honestly as someone who watched a fair bit of Sci-Fi stuff growing up (Star Wars, Star Trek etc.) I've learned to just tune out technobable and just nod and go "uh huh, uh huh cool" so it never bothered me lol

I hate the word "sufubi". What was wrong with "vinyl", or "figure"? Having grown up since the early 90s calling Japanese Godzilla figures "vinyl toys" I find the recent switch to the term "sufubi" to be downright bizarre. I cant imagine EVER using that term in spoken conversation.

When the Hell was this?

If I ever hear someone say "sufubi" in place of vinyl figure I will laugh hysterically at their attempt to sound young and hip.

Sofubi is the Japanese word for them I believe? Like it says "sofubi" on some of the tags/boxes/whatever.
Listen, some of us want to feel special, ok??? :lol:

I thought sofubi was referring to only those so-called "designer" soft vinyl figures.

I think the 2002 Kiryu is the best SH MonsterArts figure ever.

I actually quite like the concept of Godzilla having multiple forms, and I think Singular Point in particular highlights what I'd like to see in how Godzilla's forms resemble other kaiju. I'd even be up for other kaiju getting this kinda treatment.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.

There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

I would totally be on board for seeing an evolving incarnation of King Ghidorah.

Like, his first form resembles a Japanese dragon, his second form looks like a wingless medieval dragon, the third is a golden wyvern with two heads, and his final form is the classic King Ghidorah we all know and love.

Added in 31 seconds:
And even before he becomes classic King Ghidorah, he goes around massacring other Kaiju.
