American Greetings/Carlton Cards/Heirloom Godzilla Ornaments

[Mr. Xeno]

Those honestly don't look too great, especially in comparison to some of their better ornaments, but I'll probably pick 'em up to complete my collection.

I agree. I'm glad that they are able to still produce them but they seem rather lack luster compared to the other ornaments. You get what you can take and I will get them since I have gotten the rest but not too impressed.

I think Ghidorah looks better than Godzilla, but I will still definitely get both!

Saw these today....



I'm quite disappointed with they way they look in person but all Amercian Greeting ornaments looked a little lack luster. Also the set price on both of these was $35 a piece. Going to be quite a bit to swallow for these but I've got all the other ornaments up until now so I will probably eventually bite the bullet.

It's a shame Hallmark doesn't have the license for yearly Godzilla ornaments.

Not that the LP one they did last year was any masterpiece.

Is that what American Greetings is doing this year? I have their Heisei Godzilla from years ago (with the building springs) and the 60th Anniversary 1954 one (I think they did that one- I like it though!).

Personally, I'm happier with my American Greetings ornaments, I have and like theirs but I like my AGs better.

And from the pic above, these look like they turned out great.

I'll have to pick these two up from Ebay eventually, can't really drop $70 down on two tree ornaments right now. They look fine, about on par with most of their ornaments, though Ghidorah doesn't really shape well.

Can't say I would want them to do two a year again. It hurts the wallet more, and it kind of screws the whole year-by-year setup.

Where are American Greetings sold besides online?

Got to say that I like Carlton Cards ornaments WAY more then what American Greetings has put out. Seems like CC took their time to create some unique ornaments but with AG they look rushed and very "weak" in accuracy but I've never really liked AG ornaments anyways so this is "normal" for them.

I seem to remember that the first Godzilla oranments being around $20-$25 which is "doable" especially for once a year but now to have 2 "mediocre" oranments at $35 a pop is a bit much IMO. Again hate to pay so much especially for oranments but got to keep the collection complete.

Found these at Meijer which isn't everywhere but there is also a American Greetings store as well.

I don't think I can shell out $70 for two sort-of-accurate statues. Think I'll just pick up Ghidorah, seeing as he's the more unique of the two.

What Meijer store did you see these at? I called five Meijers and all of them said that they don't have any Christmas stuff yet.

Well technically they are right they don't have their Christmas stuff out its just the AG ornaments. I've went to multiple Meijers and they all have there ornaments out just go and look by where they keep their cards and they should be on a end cap.

Okay, thanks.

How is it 'a shame'? Hallmark's quality has been suckish of late, & that LP Godzilla from last year was so bad, that I didn't even buy it when it went clearance! Masterpiece? FAR from it...

[Legion1979]

Hallmark does some amazing ornaments. I just think their Godzilla from last year was a rare miss.

At least Hallmark Godzilla ornaments would be a little easier to find.

[FlawedCoil82]

I found both of these ornaments at my local Meijer store. As I and others have stated, these ornaments are sold back where the greeting cards are at and displayed on an end cap, NOT in the Christmas section. They are pretty sweet ornaments I think, best enjoyed as a pair.

[CheetoKamper]

So I just bought the Ghidorah but I can't get his wings to go in. Anybody else have and solve this issue?
