Here it is...Mothra in the box!

And to answer the earlier question, the Godzilla's have rods that the feet move up and down over as the figure walks, helping to give the illusion that the feet are actually coming off the ground as he takes a step. The tail has a small "caster" where it touches the ground, making turns and whatnot easier.
As to availability, the Godzilla's used to show up on E-Bay quite often and usually(at least the one's I tracked)went for around $500, depending on condition, but now they seem to be showing up less and less...so my advice is, if you've got the cash and run across one, don't hesitate to buy it.
The Mothra figure would also show up occasionally, usually going for around $600, but I haven't seen one listed for quite awhile now.

That link to the canisters earlier has a Mothra up for 650 I think.
They show up on yahoo Japan a lot cheaper than over here. You may end up paying $75-$125 in shipping and maybe $30 or so for a deputy service, but it would seemingly save you 100 or more. I don't think I saw any of the Mothras go over 35,000 yen ($300). So I would start there. They generally start rather high, 15,000-25,000, but are probably worth it in my opinion. I never followed up on the Godzillas I saw though, so I can't give you a final price. I seem to remember them starting at 5,000-15,000 with not too many bids near the end.

**After typing all this up, I decided to take a look around since this has peaked my interest again. I was saving to go all-out on the Wii launch, but this doesn't seem too bad...

, like the one on except mine has purple eyes.

- I'm not a big fan of the sculpt but these colors work for me.

- Very big and an amazing sculpt.



Last one for now, a KaijuZoo custom "monochrome" M1 Godzilla 2000:

The huge Marmit Biollante figure was just released. Sucker set me back more than $200, which has gotta be some sort of a record for a Marmit figure.

I should be getting that and the Pilot Ace Ghidora sometime next week.

Got a glow Garasharp today. I really wanted the original, non-glowie, version of this figure when it was initially released but it was very limited and crazy expensive. My good luck to miss out then, because now I've got it as a glowie and for a lot less money.
