Godzilla Collectibles Thread

I haven't heard anything, but I'm sure they will still produce them. I would think that the Gigantic MG would
be the next Gigantic after the G19 one. If X-Plus shows a prototype off, they make it. They are not like Hot Toys;
where a prototype MAY get made.
I did see something in one of the fb groups that the Mecha KG may be undergoing some minor changes.

I am looking to get some buildings for my neca Godzilla figures. Does anyone know where or what size scale I would need?

Probably the Tamashii Nations ones would work since they're similar scale to the Monsterarts. They're pretty plain looking though, I'm not sure if anyone else custom makes buildings good for these.

I have heard that the N scale train buildings work, but I have never used them myself.

If you feel crafty enough, you can do pretty well with do it yourself. I'd been hunting for good scale buildings for years and finally saw someone do this trick on instagram and it was so much cheaper and good sized.

Go to Michaels or a craft/hobby store and by foam bricks and some of these.

Choose whatever grid size you want for the window size you're after. Then I painted the grids different shades of greys, dug out some chunks of the building for damage and cut the grids around it and walla, skyscrapers.

Thanks for all the ideas guys! Last one seems like the best/ cheapest. Looks easy enough to do and like that would be an outside job. Lol

A lot of people make their own paper craft buildings for the 6 inch figures. N scale train diorama buildings are in exact scale with 30cm X-plus figures from the Showa era (kaiju that are supposed to be 50m tall). They also work well enough with 25cm Showa kaiju. But they would be far too large to scale with NECA or SHMA figures. At 6 inches a 50m (Showa era) monster is about 1:350 scale and a 100m monster (Heisei era) is about 1:700 scale. You can find buildings, vehicles, and accessories in both scales but they can be challenging to track down and pricey for their size. So most people resort to making their own.

There are numerous YouTube videos providing tips and instructions on how to make your own buildings and dioramas if you need help getting started.

Anyone have any recommendations for relatively inexpensive trains to pair with say a 12” ‘54 or an 8” ‘84? Tanks too are something I’m interested in adding.

I?m just gonna cut and paste a post I made on another forum that should help you get started. But first, as I mentioned, 12 inch tall Showa figures (like the ?54 Godzilla you mention) are perfectly scaled with N scale model railroad accessories. And lucky for us, there are several major Japanese manufacturers that produce both modern and vintage (so, you know, you can have 1950?s and 60?s Japanese buildings, trains, cars, and people to go with you 1950?s and 60?s Japanese Monsters!). Some of the more popular brands are Kato and Tomytec.

It should be noted that N scale can be either 1:148 or 1:160 scale but the difference is negligible. But the important thing to note is that means that 1:144 scale candy toys from Japan also scale well and there are TONS of Japanese (and other nations) military vehicles produced at that scale by companies like F-toys. They are highly detailed and usually pretty cheap.

As for an 8inch G?84 (the Kaiyodo model kit?), that is 1:400 scale. You can find commercially produced cars and buildings and such at this scale but they tend to be pricey. But it?s also worth searching on Shapeways.com (a 3-D printing site). You can find tons of stuff made at whatever scale you need if you?re willing to paint it and maybe do some minor assembly and/or sanding.

As for finding this stuff, google and eBay are very useful. Below I?ve pasted my previous post from tohokingdom about this same topic. Hopefully the links still work!

Wow. Thanks for all the info. That will help out a lot. Got some searching to do.

Glad to help. I love this subject! Here’s a cool article on kaijuaddicts about the n scale buildings with lots of neat pictures. https://www.kaijuaddicts.com/building-city-environments-x-plus-vinyls-n-scale-buildings/

And here’s a thread on tohokingdom that has a ton of good info and some really cool projects by forum members. It goes back to 2014 so some of the links users posted might not work anymore but the more recent posts should still be valid. https://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18220

Also, some good resources for buying are hlj.com (hobbylink japan) and 1999.co.jp (hobbysearch). I should’ve mentioned that Japanese n scale is often referred to as 1:150 scale. You can search “n scale” “1/150” or “1/144” on either site and find a TON of cool stuff. I even tried “n scale Showa” on hobbysearch and got some neat vintage style stuff.

For those who are wanting to add buildings or vehicles to their Godzilla displays, just remember that 6", 8" and 12" aren't scales. A 12" 74 Godzilla is not the same scale as a 12" 2019 Godzilla. To figure the scale of something, just take the height in feet of the model and divide it by the height in feet of the real thing. Showa era are 150 feet tall, so a 12 inch figure (1 foot) is 1'/150' scale. If Godzilla is 200' then it's 1'/200' scale, but if the figure is only 8"or 2/3' then it's (2/3)/200= 1/300 scale. Buy your accessories accordingly.
