Aside from that, Jet Jaguar and maybe GFW Hedorah and Ebirah.
Ooo yeah JJ and Ebirah would be great. Ebirah needs more love.

Megalon
Titanosaurus
Baragon (either version)
Battra (larva and adult)
Mecha-King Ghidorah
Orga
... And of course, many Godzillas

Added in 4 minutes 44 seconds:
I forgot that they did show prototypes for Mecha-KG, Showa Anguirus, and Little Godzilla. They obviously already have molds, so start with those. And go ahead and reissue the Burning G mold, but in solid green this time, for a quick and easy Heisei Godzilla.

Lists such as these got my hopes up nearly five years ago. I looked forward to new releases in this line back then, since I could only afford so much in high school. None of these seem likely, as this line has been nearly defunct since 2015, but I'll entertain the thought this once. Let me go back in time and find my list, though...

"Godzilla 1962" was one I really wanted at the time, since a figure of KingGoji was hard to come by back then. Now, S.H. MonsterArts and NECA have 6-inch scale renditions of that design. It's still my favorite, and I wouldn't mind a new vinyl figure of him, but it's not a top priority of mine anymore. I'd prefer a 1964 (GTTHM version) over anything else.

"Anguirus 1955" was another interesting one on my list. He had a prototype shown several years before, but was never released. I agree with everyone else that mentioned both Mecha King Ghidorah and Little Godzilla, too. They would be a great change of pace if at all possible.

"Mothra 1964 - Because we haven't even gotten a Mothra that actually fought Godzilla." I pretty much nailed the reasoning those years back.

"Megalon." Why not? He's pretty cool. I don't see why not.

"King Ghidorah 1964" was also on my list. Any Ghidorah other than the 2001 design would be welcome at this point. I may still have to get that 2001, since my original broke some years ago. Anyway, King Ghidorah 1964, Rodan 1964, and a Mothra Larva would be great, serving as a tie-in with Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

"Even Varan." And, that's something I want to agree with today, but I can't. Not many collectibles of Varan have been produced in general. It would be nice to change that, but he's still much too obscure to be a probability.

I'd change my username if I had the chance. It's a typo. It's supposed to be "66," and it's a very unfortunate thing to have on my account. Please help. :lol:

I took pictures at my local Walmart with 3 pegs of BC Godzilla figures, but I can't attach photos. I hate having to upload pictures to another image hosting site account that I can never remember the password to. :mad: But they had King Caesar, Godzilla '68, King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla '74 (two of each). I will say that Godzilla '68 looks slightly better with a repainted mouth without the bright pink mouth.

Chris has said that Godzilla sells really well for them hence the reissues. My only complaint is why not try new versions. A 62, 89, 91 would be great

Or hell. Reissue ones that aren’t already Available on amazon for cheap. I wouldn’t mind a Burning Godzilla or Final Goji reissue.

It’s funny....for as much as a few fanboys on here and Facebook groups like to rag on the Bandai USA toy line it seems to be doing well with the general public. Went to Walmart on my break and their Godzilla toys were already cleaned out after just being put out this week

I’ve got a handful of the better ones in my collection with my bandai japan vinyls, but there’s nothing I’m interested in from this line myself unless they do something new. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised to come home from work and see my wife had bought the King Ghidorah at Walmart for our kids a few days ago. They were very excited to add King Ghidorah to their growing collection of monsters! I pulled up the finale of Monster Zero on Filmstruck’s YouTube channel (it’s kinda awesome that they have entire kaiju fights from their Godzilla films up on YouTube) to help remind them who exactly Ghidorah was (they’re both preschool age) and 20 minutes later we had an epic kaiju battle in the playroom. So, yes, these reissues are a good thing regardless of what us collectors think about the figures.

You SAW these vinyls on the pegs? And how many were there? I got empty pegs at my Wal-Mart too, but I can state matter-of-factly that no vinyls have EVER graced those pegs...

Yep and I’d say around 10 figures with 4 pegs

Could anyone please provide pictures to confirm this?

Any of those would be a dream.
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

I'd love a Megalon, or a Monster X, or an Ebirah, or Gorosaurus, or a Kamacarus, or a Death Ghidorah, or a Godzillasaurus...

Honestly, the only new Godzilla variant I wouldn't mind would be a 1984. The NECA one is still off a little and I don't think we'll get an SHMA anytime soon.

I always forget that the only good '84 figure is that Memorial Box one.

I wonder if they'll do a second wave this year since they released so early

God, I hate being forced to learn new technology! :evil:

I tried uploading the pictures on my Photobucket account, but they now have a huge, ugly watermark on them. I tried starting up a Flickr account but for the life of me I can not figure out how to upload a friggin picture directly from my ancient iPhone without being forced to download the app. Are there any simple FREE photo hosting websites out there that do not have watermarks, nor require you to download an app? If I can find one that is easy to use then I can post pictures of these Bandai Creation figures.
