It still feels wrong that they made figures for all the main four kaiju in KOTM except for Ghidorah. And I kind of wish they had the license for GvK, but oh well.

I’m still salty about that, especially since Randy said it in that TK interview and denied he ever said that. He’s a big lier. I just want to see more from Mezco and what else Super7 has in store.

Yeah, I'm skeptical that the RPO Mechagodzilla has anything to do with NECA - or if it did, it was a mold from a while back that got canned and isn't new. One question I have is - why now? Sure, Mechagodzilla has made a big movie comeback, but why on Earth would they make the RPO Mechagodzilla? Hasn't that ship sailed?

Yeah, this is pretty much where I'm at too. Can't deny that NECA has released some pretty kickass Godzillas, and I was pretty bummed when they lost the license, but I'm ready to move on now like others said. They had their chance, and while they made some great figures, they also frankly wasted a lot of time and hardly seemed all that invested most of the time. The offerings from these other companies sound much more exciting than anything NECA could offer at this point.

Apparently, Randy mentioned like....once he was interested in making an RPO Mechagodzilla but that doesn't mean shit. Look at the NECA Twitter, it's a freaking bibliography of Randy pitching figures and talking about how they would and would not work.

Not to mention the big fact that there is NO indication NECA had the rights to Mechagodzilla. Like, even for a mock up prototype.

I think this is a third party figure people want to seem more important then it really is.

Randy did that to like 10 different members here that called him out on the Ghidorah lie. I know he blocked one more person besides Minya over the Ghidorah thing he swore he never said despite the interview being here.

Ghost Godzilla would have just been a clear Godzilla 1954. ;)

But yeah, I'm doubtful that NECA ever had anything to do with it too. Unlikely they would've put all that effort/money into a mold like that if they weren't sure they would be able to release it, and I don't think its coming up either. Pretty confident its its own thing.

I wouldn't be shocked if the RPO MechaGodzilla was some kind of a prototype. However, even if it was, that would be such an off choice. Apparently Toho was up their ass about their designs, which is why we didn't see so many figures. But I imagine that the RPO design would have more loopholes, with Spielberg and all. So that would be an odd decision on their end, when they're already struggling to just get GODZILLA molds out.

Proof that he banned me over it? No, I can show that I'm blocked but it doesn't know why. The proof of his promise to make the figure is a video interview posted somewhere on TK conducted by Chris M, in which Randy states they'll be making "All four of the big monsters"

So Randy starts lashing out on Twitter against "whining, entitled Godzilla fans" saying he never claimed they were making a Ghidorah. I posted the link to the interview and said "Could you explain this, then?" and was blocked soon after.

Got my glow Zuniceratops! It's the perfect size to fight Reactor Glow Godzilla, and seeing what they did with Rodan in Singular Point, he'll be fine as both a dinosaur and a monster depending on what he's sitting next to at the time.

To be fair to the guy, I think maybe Randall bit off a bit more than he could chew making himself the face of Neca Godzilla product and communicating with the fans.

It actually does. Despite being painted over, the 'rubbery' part is the same plastic as the dorsal plates and it does glow in the dark, dimly. It just didn't show here. The hard-plastic upper parts of the tail are the same black plastic as the lower legs and arms, and it doesn't do anything. I suspect they were cast like they were for durability. I found it in a yard-sale box loose, now seeing Ebay prices, I'm keeping it as I know I won't be able to buy another. The atomic breath was one from a Toho set that I painted in such a way that it only shows in the dark.

Edit: On a weird note, in the same box I had a Godzilla from the first Monsterverse movie (claimed by my nephew) and a poster-color one, now in my office next to poster-Kong. Coming out less than $15 each, I didn't know it at the time but I probably got the best deal in NECA-Godzilla toys there ever was.

WOAH. Hold the phone people.

The feet of that Godzilla behind the werewolf is very 2003 Godzilla (SOS)-ish, but the chest lacks the scar. So this is something we never saw.

He said the big 4 and everything in the movie was fair game and would be made. Remember that as well. We went from potentially recreating Boston and the bowing scene to you whiny Godzilla fans be happy you get Mothra and Rodan with your Godzilla.
