Weekly Character Spotlight #33 - Rodan (Showa)

[ebirahsmeg1]

Shocked that Rodan never had a weekly spotlight yet. This thread is intended for any Showa Rodan figure (be it '56 or 60s version).

One of my favorite Showa Rodan figures is the Marmit MH 56 Rodan...looks fantastic next to GigaBrain's '64 and '65 Godzilla figures

i like that 65 Parababy

[MekaGojira3k]

I like almost all of the parababies, but I ignored a lot of them to focus on Monster Heaven or Vinyl Paradise stuff, although last G-Fest I did pick up the 55 Godzilla, 55 Angilas, A Kamakiras, and a Mothra Adult.
THE COLLECTION GROWS.

Online review of LeslieChambers of both the Xplus 25cm and 30cm Rodan figures:

[Rody]

Despite being my all-time favorite monster, I have a scarcity of figures to represent Rodan. That said, these two are some of my favorites in my collection.
BTW, does anyone else have trouble getting their High Grade to stand? Mine's left wingtip gets in the way.
