Trendmasters didn't do 12", 8" was their large scale. Surprisingly their villains were quite good and better than Godzilla himself for sculpts. Mecha G was definitely one of the best.

That was only 8"?! I must have just been that much smaller lol

8-10" depending, I know they seemed huge as a kid. I still have my Godzilla. I took it out one day thinking it was like at least 10" tall and it was the same size as my 8" model kits, I was like huh, remembered him being bigger lol.

They did do larger sizes for the '98 movie.

So I guess I missed out on pre-ordering the X-Plus 2014 'Zilla. Strangely, I'm not that saddened. The farther away from the movies' release we get, the less enamored I am with the new American version. I think Godzilla will always be - first and foremost - a big part of my childhood and love of 'pop culture nostalgia'. I'm loving the Hell out of my '54 and '64, so for now? I think I'm just fine.

(Some pics of these '91 G's I'm seeing are awfully tempting, though... )

Neca 2014 was good enough for me, he looks great for the price.

I do think of him as Godzilla though, but the giant crocodile bird version.

If I hit the lotto I will buy the XP version out of boredom.

Spacegodzilla looked amazing and so did king ghidorah.

NECA's is very authentic, couldn't as for more accurate, but X-Plus has a more expressive head which I like and the overall pose has a real presence, I'd love to get it, maybe if Diamond releases it in the states.

I will get the 12" Bandai though, sure it's not to NECA or X-Plus level, but for what it costs it's badass.

 

[jye4ever]

The mouth makes that XP a killer 2014.

And it's the weakest part of the NECA figure, if NECA's had more teeth like the movie that'd take it to another level, the half dozen teeth they gave him just takes ab it away.

Wasn't the Trendmasters 10" Mechagodzilla almost exactly the same as the Bandai DX one other than it not having the shiny paint scheme? I remember having one that my mom got me for Christmas from JC Penney and it was a very nice figure with pretty good articulation.

One of the best vinyls of Godzilla in existence. I have him next to the two that you have sold me and he looks phenomenal with the 25cm. If you're a fan of the design I'd say get him.


In other news, I just scored a '55 Gigantis 30cm on eBay for $100. I wasn't going to get him, but for that price I couldn't say no. He looks downright silly in some angles but awesome in others. Now, the only reissue 30cm I don't have is....GMK.

I've also come to terms with the fact that I will want some of the villains or allies, but as of now, only the more prominent and colorful ones. Gigan, 70's MechaGodzilla, Titanosaurus, Anguirus. There's just too many ones that tempt me too often that I won't be able to pass up when Diamond releases them--and I'm accepting that lol.

Hmmm, I think someone said it was inevitable.

My first Ric Boy. Always loved the Gigan answer the way he stands with his pot belly makes me like him even more...

 

[MaulFan]

Showa Gigan is one of the best enemy kaiju designs. I hate his Final Wars incarnation.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

That Gigan is phenomenal I cannot wait for his diamond reissue.

Here's my '55 I got for cheap

He's up there with '67 as the goofiest looking design but for the price I think he's actually one of X-Plus' most accurate sculpts.

There are stills of the '55 that look almost as good as the '54, it's the eyes that ruin it, '67 is just beyond saving lol.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Totally agree. It looks downright fierce in some shots and almost giddy in others (kind of like '62). '67...aw man someone should have been fired for that one lol
