I miss NECA....
Playmates has already put out almost as much new product this year alone than NECA did in their entire 6 year run ;)
I'm starting to think you're just trolling at this point

Spoiler:
also got the skullcrawler and battle-axe kong but I have different plans for him

I'd love to buy some of these figures in like a bundle, but the resale is absolutely ridiculous rn.

They're going for like $100 bc of scalpers, like no thank u lol, it's playmates, not SHMA.

I got everything but Kong with a jet, Skullcrawler, and the Warbat from here in Ohio. A buddy of mine snagged the last Skullcrawler.

I wonder if the 6in Godzilla and Kong scale well with the 6in Ghidorah and Rodan from the KOTM line?

I can guarantee you they do not scale well with the King Ghidorah but are probably alright with the Rodan.

I hate missing out on the fun, the only way I'd be able to get these is by importing them and...well...they're just not worth that sort of money

Yeah, I haven’t seen the 6” Godzilla’s in person yet but figure they’re about the size of NECA 2019 which looks too big with JAKKS Ghidorah, but the JAKKS Rodan seems about the same size as NECA Rodan so you could pair JAKKS Rodan with Playmates Godzilla.

I dunno, seems more like its own thing, there's three other cyborg critters in the line. Also I hear that particular gorilla is from the Spawn comics. Here's the link to the full reveal: https://news.toyark.com/2020/07/22/mcfa ... ine-395652

The GVK line has hit Canadian shelves. My store only had the Kong w/ axe, which I picked up. Honestly, for $10 USD the figure is a lot of fun to fiddle with. Obviously it doesn't look as good as the collector monster verse stuff on my shelf, but it looks okay and is actually a lot of fun. Hopefully the line does well with kids.

Same. All our ToysRus stores north of Toronto in Vaughan, Woodbridge, Markham, Thornhill have recieved Godzilla vs Kong figures. Both the large release figures and standard sizes. For the standard size figures only saw Kong with Axe and Godzilla with heat ray. I bought both! :mrgreen:. I gotta say I'm impressed with the way that Playmates distribution is able to get these things out. So freakin fast! We saw leaked pics from Asia 2 weeks ago. Then the United States got these a week ago. And just 4-5 days ago these things hit Canadian you shelves. Puts Hasbro and Mattel distribution to shame...

No sign yet of Skull crawler and Godzilla with radio tower. All figures with the exception of Warbat and Kong with fighter jet are on preorder over at Amazon.ca

To be honest I was lucky to see the heat ray Godzilla yesterday. Out of three ToysRus stores visited I saw the Godzilla in only 1 store.

Does anyone know if the Playmates toys are available down in the South? Looking to snag the Skullcrawler and maybe the axe-weilding Kong.

Found the kong at the Walmart I work at. They only had multiples of him and the atomic blast godzilla. Along with the giant sized ones. Image

This is good to know. I checked out a TRU in Hamilton and in Oakville and only found Kong with Axe and Heat Ray Godzilla. Will keep an eye on Amazon.ca for Warbat.
