Playmates Godzilla figures

[XvGojira]

Girdle your britches boys and girls, Playmates Godzilla figures have been spotted in the wild.







Woooo boy. That's.... that's something.

That's... definitely a Playmates toy

[Rody]

These so blatantly look like knockoffs of Bandai and NECA figures I'm kind of shocked they got approved. I can only assume these are meant exclusively for small children, because they look awful like nothing else.
I guess I'll be saving money on those.

More images. Destroyah, Gigan, and Kong.

What the friggin hell are those abortions supposed to be? Jesus, it makes their Voltron line look like an X-Plus.

Please tell me this is a joke and this is not replacing Bandai's vinyls.

I didn’t even know Playmates got the Godzilla license and ohhhh boy is this quite the sight.

These are the worst Godzilla toys I've ever seen. Imperial's cheapo plastic Godzilla figures from the 80s were alot better.

Maybe people will stop bashing Bandai Creations now?

What, why...how....

What was Toho thinking?

The Shin is definitely fugly but the rest seem like acceptably cheap Walmart monster toys. I might go for the 6 inch Kong when/if I see it. I recently picked up the JAKKS Pacific Godzilla 2019 so why not.

^ It does seem like Shin and Spacegodzilla, the first two figures we all saw, are certainly the worst.

[Dr Kain]

I don't know, I'm still waiting for the textures on Destoroyah to load.

Here's a big video on the toy line that might answer any questions -


Went to Walmart yesterday and they were pretty picked over, they didn't have the little Kong I wanted. But they DID have a ton of the JAKKS Pacific KOTM toy sets on sale for like $5. They were everywhere, they had some by the home media section.

All these years later, with the Toho line long gone and the Monsterverse action figures fully embraced, I’m torn between my desire to hunt down Baragon to go with the other classics, or sell off most if not all of them to make room and have less crap around. Do I really need the first wave of these awful things hanging around for the curiosities they are?
