Warbat and Kong with Jet are expected to start showing up stateside by the end of the month into early March.

And thanks to everyone else who responded! You guys have helped a ton!
No problem! :D It's funny, I actually passed on that Rodan when it first came out, but ended up getting it much later on when it went on clearance; surprised at how much I ended up liking it! Only wish it had the burning wings painted on, but a solid release that blows Bandai's attempt out of the water.

Granted, that figure isn't available over here so I haven't seen it in person yet.
It is! Its a little odd that they can't keep the colors consistent. Their Kongs are either black or brown and the Godzillas are either blue/grey or black. Personally prefer the bluish-grey Godzillas myself.

Spoiler:
Anyone know anything about that one red-spined Godzilla?
Spoiler:
Nothing new has been revealed/leaked, but I'm not sure if it's coming out anymore. They called it "Mega Godzilla" and now they have this "Mega Godzilla" coming out alongside the same "Mega Kong" that the red Godzilla was shown off with. Could still see release down the line, but I think there's a good possibility that this new Godzilla replaced it.

Got the Playmates Kong with Axe today at Walmart. For 10 bucks he fits perfectly with my final collection and is a great figure with solid articulation. I'm excited get Warbat and

when they come out. I'm also stoke for Jet Jaguar. He looks surprisingly good compared to the rest of the Classics line.

Is that new Jet Jaguar going to be one of the cheapy plastic figures or a proper vinyl?

Vinyl! I will be reviewing it here shortly, I've been told I'm getting it in the next few weeks.

Thank god! That's gonna be a great figure. I'm now subscribing to the theory that the cheapy plastic figures were to fill the gap left by GvK being delayed. Definitely going to have to pick him up!

If you have it, maybe some companion pics with the Figuarts classic Ultraman? Very interested to see how this will come out.

It seems like this Jet Jaguar may be an improvement on the Bandai one, just as the Bandai USA Mechagodzilla was.

I have a couple older Ultraman figures, I don't think I have that one in particular, but I'll compare him to what I've got!

I'm stoked for more of the plastic "action" figures. I snagged the Skullcrawler and King "lemme axe you sum real quick" Kong and I love 'em. Warbat looks tight and I'm very excited for

Makes me wonder if they're gonna do Behemoth, Rodan, Mothra, etc. in that style or if the only chance at more Monsterverse characters is in the not-bandai creation style.

I believe they said they had no plans to do any figures form the other Monsterverse movies at this time.

Not gonna lie, I'm hoping that they release that little Behemoth figure. I'd buy that, especially for $5. I went looking for a Skullcrawler, but my WalMart was empty. I saw some folks repainting it, and I thought that'd be a fun figure to do that with. Although, I haven't done it before.

Completely agree; I love that tiny Behemoth. Not as much as some people on Ebay though - one sold for nearly $250.

Could be wrong, but I think they'll be restocking some of the figures from the first wave when the newer ones come out over the next few weeks. Hope so at least; wanted to get a second Skullcrawler myself to paint him as he appeared in Skull Island.

That'd be good! My local Wal Mart was damn near empty. I've never reapinted figures before, but it's something I'd like to get into. So a Skullcrawler would be a first start.

The Kong w/ jet and the Warbat are already out in the UK. Probably a month or two here in the U.S.

The Skullcrawler is already here, I found it at my local WM.
