Anyone know if playmates or any company will be releasing the stuffed animal Kong that Jia had? I'm kinda lacking merch from Team Kong and If I had to get one, that would probably be it.

They said they'll make everything that appears in the film.

Small spoilers for GVK:

The female MUTO (along with the Skull Island Skullcrawler and Ghidorah) appear in the opening credits. So, maybe? Someone should ask them.

I went to 7 Walmart’s over the past few days and everything GvK related was absolutely cleaned out.
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised with how popular this movie is right now
God only knows when Walmart will re-stock

The only merch of that I know of is the small bag clip figurine thing.

It'd be awesome if they did a KOTM Ghidorah for the 11 inch line to scale with the 6 inch line. Wishful thinking and it doesn't make the most sense, but fun thought.

What? No fucking way?

An entire display bought by one man? That's freaking nuts.

Funny enough, I just saw earlier today that somebody's actually selling one of those whole displays on Ebay. "No figures included", naturally. :eh:

An in scaled Ghidorah for a 6 inch line only needs to be 8 inches tall with a 15 inch wingspan. Another reason Neca was BS about not making Ghidorah.

I'd love to know how you figured that out.

Divide Godzilla's height by Ghidorah's height than take the decimal number and divide it by 6 inches which is what Godzilla's toy stands at.

The wingspan are just a guess because everyone estimated his wingspan being at least 1000 feet.

All things considered, Playmates has been doing a faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr better job with mass produced movie Godzilla tie-in merchandise than Bandai America and Jakks Pacific.

I very much consider TFA to be half-assed. What a generic film which only fed on nostalgia, it brought nothing new to the table.
That's not true. C3PO had a red arm.

Oh yeah on that they are on point, kiddos who are fans are gonna have plenty of stuff they can go for at good prices and on good quality for that price. I mean have you guys seen the mega godzilla glow in the dark? That toy looks epic. And for 30 bucks.

No, because apparently 13 different Walmarts within Southern California magically don't have shit for Godzilla vs Kong within a 3 week time frame going now on 4.

Fucking stupid. Ugh, though whoever above mentioned a "display" actually thanks for that. I was mainly looking for shelf stock, but passively looking for a display. The only displays Walmarts in my area has are fucking "Rava and the Last Dragon" shelf warming that isle.

Pretty sure John Stelzner, Vice President of Marketing at Playmates Toys, said that there would be no monsters from the cast of Godzilla '14 or King of the Monsters added to the GvK line.

Although I wouldn't be opposed to it happening.

Apologies, I specifically meant the 6" line.

Although, Behemoth's inclusion in the toyline is rather confusing.

Wasn't that Behemoth a convincing bullshit?

Also - Wallyworld has them now. Just went to get some replacement shoes and found them in a ravaged display on the toy isle. Not much left, no 13", roaring or 11" MG. Might have sold out, but just throwing it out there, they made it to West coast.
