I was hoping for Showa Rodan but this will do :D and this means we have the whole GvMegalon crew.
Wasn't expecting that. Happy to see Megalon and Fire Rodan looks cool but I think they should've picked a more interesting lineup, especially since this wave was up in the air for so long. Something to really sell people on this line. Like that King Ghidorah they had plans for a while back. Or at the very least, as said earlier, a sculpt for Burning Godzilla. Kind of lame to see a straight-up repaint.

Nonetheless, I will be buying this set.

So happy to see this line continuing! When I tweeted them at the beginning of the year they were not too sure about it. Looks like its' happening! If we continue to support I'm sure we'll get monsters like Anguirus, King Caesar, Battra, and Ghidorah in Wave 4!!!

It's in stock. That date is the estimated arrival, but they got it earlier. Otherwise it would be labeled as out-of-stock/pre-order sold out like it was last week.

It appears the Mechagodzilla Pizza Cutter has been cancelled. Entertainment Earth sent me an email saying so, and it the listing has been removed from other sites. Hopefully this will turn out to be just a delay and it'll be coming again next year.

Though I can't say it would be a big lost.

I kind of wish Diamond would release the Megalon characters all in one minimate set; Godzilla, Jet Jaguar, Gigan and Megalon.
Those are the only ones I think are interesting; if they did a special set or something I'd be for it but I doubt it.

Most of the stuff they've released thus far don't interest me much. Kinda like a couple of the banks though, Ghidorah and the upcoming Fire Rodan especially.

DAT MEGALON.

Rodan looks like he has a superhero cape going on.
I will explain slowly why you are wrong.

Of course burning Godzilla has to be in every variant a company makes for a Godzilla line.

That fire Rodan and Megalon doe. Should I start collecting Godzilla minimates? I'm kind of considering it.

Burning Godzilla. Burning Godzilla everywhere.
Seriously though why couldn't they make him look like G 1995 and not a 60s Godzilla.

I swear if the next set has that Godzilla with purple spines, I'm going... complain about it on here some more.

Diamond reallllly needs to make a new Godzilla minimate, they're out of viable options for this one... plus it kind of sucks. It's my least favorite out of all of the Godzilla Character Minimate sculpts, which is bit of a shame since it's GODZILLA.

And somehow I just realized the middle of the Mothra larvae are the basic torso, just without arms on the sockets. This opens up some disturbing possibilities.

Mothra larvae with drills, Godzilla with finger missiles etc. This line is amazing.

You could create the weirdest looking thing. Then when your finished yell, "It's alive!"

Slap adult Mothra's wings on it. "I'm a pretty butterfly".

I noticed you can pose the mini-mate Godzilla in the infamous "tail slide" IF you can find something to balance him with. I'm totally going to set that up once I have my hands on Megalon.

Good one! :lol: Or, you can put Jet Jaguar's head on Mothra's body.

I wished they went left field and do an Electromagnetic Godzilla already.
