Godzilla Resurgence Official Toy Line

[The Great MM]

The 12 incher looks pretty good. I do wonder if I should just wait and see if its gonna be a BC release over here, though. But the other two? Man, just what I always wanted. Two aborted dinosaur fetuses sitting proudly among my collection. THAT's what it has been missing all this time. Yep. Two aborted dino fetuses. Who knew? Thanks Toho.

So, are the chairs, tables, and whiteboards from the meetings going to get their own figures?

^ with most Godzilla stuff, if you don't pre-order, you are at the mercy of the after market. I do think if the figures had been out two or three weeks longer, the G-Fest price would have been $35 (which is what they were selling for before the doors opened). I will agree that there has been a frenzy surrounding the merchandise, i'm half tempted to sell my Banpresto Shin Goji since the prices on ebay are more than double what i paid.

[Baltan II]

Prices like the ones being asked at G-Fest absolutely made sense, given the timing of release and the sellers there had to be rushing to ship their stuff by the event. I wouldn't get one at $40 myself but I'd totally understand the reason for that pricepoint because of the perfect storm of factors in that figure's release that close to G-Fest, and even if it wasn't a brand-new release I'd expect to be charged a premium to get it in-person, $25 or maybe 30 would seem reasonable.

Now, paying $40 for the Bandai vinyl right now from in front of my computer desk and having to wait a week or two to arrive in the mail would be truly absurd. If you're willing to wait on that, the wait to get one at retail price and shipping - preferably SAL or Air, who pays EMS for one Bandai?! - is definitely the way to go. I'd totally sell into the hype if I had duplicates or didn't mind waiting around to purchase a replacement figure.

While I'm trying to avoid spoilers at all costs, I couldn't help but look at Kaiju A and Kaiju B (how else am I supposed to know if I want to buy them!!??). They look like something out of PROPHECY (the mutant bear movie).

Seeing that 11" Shin Goji makes me wish I hadn't gone and ordered the Movie Monsters vinyl off eBay... but who knows what Bandai Creation is gonna release over here! This is gonna be like FINAL WARS all over again, where I end up buying all of the 11" AND 6" figures that come out and sort out which ones to sell down the line later.

[TripMasterMunky]

With the new G film figure hype, I'm havin a hard time deciding if I want to get back into bandai vinyls again or not.

After seeing Kaiju A and B though.... I think I might pass. The quality of paint etc on these recent bandais are just kinda lacking. It'd be cool to have, but probably something I can do w/o in my collection.

[canofhumdingers]

I've been having a similar tug of war with myself. Part of me REALLY wants to get the regular bandai vinyl. It looks pretty cool, but it's also been AGES since I've gotten a new bandai vinyl figure and I'm feeling this strong sense of nostalgia over the idea of importing the newest bandai figure from the newest Godzilla movie. The very thought just gives me warm fuzzy memories of ordering the latest stuff each year when the millennium series was coming out.

But then, I see the banpresto figure and it's clearly a much nicer representation, but I absolutely refuse to pay the exorbitant prices it seems to be commanding right now.

And then there's the NECA prototype shown at SDCC, the S.H. MonsterArts, the X Plus, and who knows what else on the horizon. In truth I can't really afford any on the more expensive figures right now but it's still somethin to consider, and I have no idea whether I'll prefer the NECA or the Bandai, considering I will probably be able to get either for about the same price.

And then there's the whole, what if I hate the movie and don't want any figures from it after I see it? Eh, that's pretty unlikely...

I'll probably just get the bandai soon and worry about the rest later. I'm sure I can always sell it and at least break even later if I want to...

[lhb412]

I feel the pull of Bandais... but I'll resist. I'm primarily about stylized vinyls now (though I only want a smallish collection of those), but I'm happy with my NECA Godzilla '14, so I think I'll limit my Shin Godzilla toy buying to NECA's figure.

[The Great MM]

Well, I got my Bandai 6" Shin en route and have the two aborted fetus forms on pre-order as well. I'll be skipping the SHMA Shin and just going full NECA, but I do want the Gasaphon set and I might snatch up the Banpresto later.

So where are people buying from these days? Amiami seems to be out and hobbylinkjapan is back ordered. I don't mind the wait and hlj has the best price I found so I was planning to order from there. But I have a small concern they may not get more. Seems like almost all the old online stores are gone so does anyone have other recommendations worth checking out? (I'm aware of Flossie's, but it seems like they specialize in Xplus and MonsterArts mostly).

LEWD.

Not surprised by the in-store pic. HLJ just pinged me with a payment request for the freaky pair.

[GFan]

I ordered the pair of Godzilla-fetuses for $34 including shipping from Hobby Link Japan (they just shipped today ), which is a steal considering how much sellers are asking for them on eBay right now!

[The Great MM]

[GiganGoji]

I kind of hate myself for ordering those two.
But I learned in the last month that if you slap Godzilla in anything, be it a popcorn bucket the size of my torso or otherwise...I'll buy it.

[TripMasterMunky]

I feel the sculpts are so similar on those 2, with just a paint job switch. Of course I know theres some more differences, just feels like the figures weren't really necessary.
