JD told me tonight that G-FAN #86 is printed and in the mail. I received 2 photos of Haruo Nakajima at the Toho Studios Godzilla statue with his Mangled Skyscraper Award that I hoped to get into this issue, but they will go into #87 as #86 is already done and en route.

I got it in the mail today. I'll leave the rundown of the contents for Armand to take care of, but J.D. did print my article! And on page 6, that was a surprise!

I should add, the Far East Monsters ad in the back of the magazine says, concerning their DAM Battlezone figures, "Order by Dec. 31!! After that, these babies are gone!!" I'm not sure if this means King Ghidorah or both that and Godzilla, but their prices are now reduced; I recommend grabbing these great figures while you can.
