Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
As someone else pointed out, its a city destruction version that has creative use of color highlights. I just assumed it was based off a poster and wrote it off as a "poster version".Thatguy4683 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:20 pm

That's cool to see confirmed; thanks for sharing! I am again amazed at how many details have been overlooked or taken for granted by the fandom even after all these years.Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 4:43 pm Ya'll remember the bitching and whining about non-accurate Rodan '56? With its random green and gold bits on the back? The whole "The old Bandai did it too!" and that's why type of stuff?
Yeah, nah.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
They sure dont make playsets like they used to. I miss the days of Kenner's Jurassic Park Command Compound.
Its cooler than nothing, but I wish they were actual figures instead of paper cut outs.

You can say that again, this one looks kinda rough. I guess its a sign of the times since it was Playmates themselves who released an absolutely badass Skull Island playset many moons ago; one of my favorite playsets.Executive Hamster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 6:15 pm They sure dont make playsets like they used to.

Considering the absolutely amazing playsets Playmates used to do for lines like TMNT back in the day, the cardboard dioramas here are pretty pathetic.

Apparently they are out in Target. They moved from (some stores?) from the Collecters isle to the same isle as the JP World Stuff which one of my target has it.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Saw these on Ebay; might be old news to some, but the first Monsterverse wave is making its way out already.
Kong's proportions are more accurate than I previously thought; the arms look much better in-hand. No signs of Terrestris yet that I've seen.

God, the packaging looks SO much better than that weird ass blue and orange that GvK stuff came with.

Might pick up the G 2014 if they do a normal version.

I'm thinking of picking up one to keep sealed for the collection and one to open and customize.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
If Playmates keeps doing Godzilla and Kong, I hope they do a feral Godzilla on all fours. That would make for a fun toy!

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
God I f- hate dynamic poses. Godzilla looks like he's forever nutting. Wouldn't have been bad if they just sculpted a neutral head.
That being said. Might end up doing what I did with the GVK line. 1 for display and 1 for MIB because im weird. Assuming I can walk into a Target and find one before scalpers get to it, and if Targets god awful atrocious website actually puts a listing for it WITHOUT a cancerous "Markerplace" format. The STUPIDEST thing big retailers did was go "Market Place" to compete with Amazon.

...d-does he? Is that what that looks like to you? I mean, more power to you if that was your first thought but...sounds like you've got some underlying issues to take care of there, pal!
