Godzilla, King of the Monster Toys
 |
?I know not everyone who reads TR cares about toys, and I know not everyone who reads cares about Godzilla, either. For the small audience that fits in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram, like me: Bandai is making superposable Godzilla action figures. Like, Marvel Legends articulated, and they look amazing, as you can see from the picture above. They’ll be releasing Godzilla and Mechagodzilla in November, each figure will stand about 6-inches tall, and come with energy blast accessories. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they’ll cost around $75, which is pretty fucking steep for a 6-inch figure, even if it does look as good as this. Sigh. I’m going to content myself by looking at the rest of the pics of Godzilla and MG at Infinite Hollywood for now; I suggest you do the same. Or lend me $75. Whichever. Thanks to Greymattersplat for the tip.
