Got these fellas. I THINK the two smaller ones are mini battle G. I couldnt find much info on them online, but I think they both look awesome. Destroyah has some wonky articulation. Also I repainted the eyes on my G91.

Ordered a second SHMA G’89 off Amazon. Bluefin says they’re sending a replacement for the one that broke but they weren’t entirely clear on what they’re sending. So I bought this one as “insurance” just in case, before they sell out or something. Hopefully bluefin comes through and I can just return this one.

In my experience, bluefin takes FOREVER to ship replacements.

My man, I would just keep in in box and put it in storage and dig it out a few years to sell when you need cash. I've been tempted to get another SPC Biollante just for that reason.

Snagged me the Godzilla Forever Mecha King Ghidorah for around $230. I've been derailed from my original plan of getting the memorial box just a bit, looks like it will be coming after Christmas, but that's ok. In the mean time, I've been knocking out other figures I wanted. The original mecha king ghidorah has always been the one that got away for me, either I didn't have space or didn't have money or it was damaged, something always stopped me from getting it. I actually prefer the original release, but considering how rare it is that I get a chance to buy one and how awesome it would be to have a second Godzilla forever figure, I jumped on it.

Now, in making room for it, I managed to also accidentally make an empty spot that is suspiciously in the shape of a certain chainsaw gigan I always joked about getting but never really considered it. So I'll stay on the lookout.

The other one I have is the meltdown Godzilla. Got it a few months back and I think I only paid like $100 for it but I honestly cannot remember.

Dude same here. I made an offer of 80 bucks and he accepted! One of my favorite figures of all time. I honestly enjoy it as much as the SHMA and X Plus Sakai.

Definitely one of my favorites. I usually hate the translucent and theater exclusive type figures, but that one is one of the few good ones.

Just got the new Bandai Gorosaurus. Pretty crazy how it's basically the exact same figure as the 1993 version, except it's smaller, has softened features and a stunted face. It's not fantastic, but I'll gladly take it over the Playmates toy.

I’m waiting on mine but agree the sculpt is superior. I can respect Playmates for giving us an affordable retail version but it looks more like The Last Dinosaur than Gorosaurus to me.

Interesting. All this time, I never noticed that Anguirus has those spikes on his arms.

Never noticed those arm spikes either until Anguirus became playable on the PS4 Godzilla game. Love tiny details like that.

I just bought the Godzilla Store Limited Marusan Hedorah 50th Anniversary Christmas Set. It looks Amazing!!! I was looking at the SHMA Hedorah 50th Anniversary Special Figure Set, but when I saw the Marusan Set, It blew my mind! It's two different animals, but I wanted a Great Hedorah Evolution Set, and for me It had to be the Marusan version!

SHFA Ultraman Tregear - My Ultra Dark Hoard is now complete until the release of Dark Trigger later in the year.

Also put pre-orders in for SHMA Godzilla '04, Hedorah, MG'21 and the SHFA Fig-Zero or whatever Ultraman Tiga. And the new batch of Spark Dolls for Trigger (Aboras, Banilla, the blue Goro Thunder and the Emo Megaloman). And the MMS Specium Ray Shin Ultraman.

Found another Play Mates Gorosaurus at Target.. Last one in stock, much like the other one was when I found it. I was actually about to give up looking since the main shelf facing of Godzilla figures had every Play Mates toy currently available except him, but then I noticed another row of four figures way off to the right. In the very back of them was the one Gorosaurus in stock, so of course I took him! Now I have one I can open up and pose next to my other figures, and another to keep boxed up and possibly sell since it seems they will only increase in value

As an aside, I saw the hilariously bad Spacegodzilla and was tempted to get a Rodan '56 just to compare it to the Y-MSF Rodan I recently acquired. I know I would have hated myself for buying it though; because outside of a few pictures for novelty, I would have done nothing but look at it in shame. Wouldn't have been worth the money
