I've read they are also working on a sequel to Shin Godzilla? Or just a next film?  Can you watch the Hedorah short online?

No, Yes, Yes

Bit hard to figure out what I was reading in the couple different places I was reading it. lol   Is there a link?

Nice set of figures there, I've picked only a few Playmates/Bandai figures, saw the new ones in store today, the Shin was pretty rough but I did get this guy :


I actually wasn't a huge fan of the series, not enough monsters, too much math and theories? It was hard to follow for me, but the monster designs weren't bad.

I haven't heard any definitive news on future Godzilla features outside of the Monsterverse (with an Apple TV+ series in the works and a Godzilla vs Kong "sequel" filming now or soon).
The Hedorah short was originally posted directly on Toho's GODZILLA YouTube channel. They took it down later for whatever reasons, but of course it still pops up complete or in snippets on other channels:

(I think this is about the whole short above)

Nice find on the Terrestris! I didn't realize the next wave was out already. I guess I'll have to go looking again sometime (still kinda want the Gorosaurus too).

I guess we'll see. I'm not sure what the Legendary pieces will be about yet. Too many humans goes against what fans have shown they want to see.   I still think Legendary needs to license more of the classic monsters already.

It's out, just four figures, Rodan 56 again, Shin G, Terrestris, and Final Wars Godzilla? Can't recall exactly. I also saw two Jet Jaguars on the shelf.  I never did see a Gorosaurus in the wild, had to order mine from eBay.

Much appreciated! Are those the costumes from Final Wars?

[Eocarcharia]

I'm not super familiar with the SHMonsterarts figures. I found a pic of what looks like one?

It's similar in style, but is technically from a different line. The full Monsterarts catalogue is shown here: https://shma-articulationseries.com/godzilla-line-up.html

Nice haul with the Godzilla Terrestris there. It looks pretty dang good for a cheaper figure. And speaking of the show, I personally liked it, but I would consider your criticisms valid.

Much appreciated! Are those the costumes from Final Wars?

Indeed they are.


Nice haul to you too @Fembrogon!

[Eocarcharia]

Okay, I told myself I wasn't going to get this one, but it was on sale, so I figured 'what the hell, he looks pretty fun.'

I had no idea there was another super articulated line. 

Wow, I can't believe those suits are still around!

Can't beat a sale! lol   Not my favorite Godzilla design but it has an appeal all it's own.

Just got in a Rodan 1964' from Xplus



Little dorky but I liked him. His in film attitude reminds me of a pompous fighter pilot. I love his comedic bits when he ducking and hiding too then takes the Mothra larvae on his back to gain full air supremacy lol

[Eocarcharia]

Pretty much my thoughts too. The super long tail makes it fun to pose.

Not my favorite design for him either, but that is a nice way of looking at it. Looks like you've got a little flock forming there.

[Fembrogon]

The 1960s Rodan suits tended to look a little wonky, but I LOVE his tenaciously aggressive attitude in those films. Rodan is my all-time favorite giant monster, and I think a lot of that stems from GHIDORAH and MONSTER ZERO.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Yeah they ARE multiplying.. lol My next one will probably be the Legendary version, it's in a flying pose so difficult to display without just hanging it up. I also need Fire Rodan but he's rare and expensive even for these.  I don't think there is a 25cm version of him..yet.

GHIDORAH The 3 Headed Monster was one of the films we had on vhs and watched all the time. It took me awhile to get to see Monster Zero and a lot of others. I remember going into a movie store in the mall and seeing Godzilla's Revenge, had no idea about it other than it was one I had never saw before. They wanted 99.99 for a vhs copy.  whew.

[GojiraGuy1954]

Wow, I can't believe those suits are still around!

The oldest suit still around is the Showa MechaGodzilla, but it's comprised of parts from the 74 and 75 suit.
They also have Showa Ghidorah's three heads.
The oldest PROP however, is the Oxygen Destroyer used in the original film.

It's wonder any of the Showa pieces are still around.  I read in an old issue of G-Fan about some pieces individuals owned like a full Mothra prop.  The OD you would think would be on a director or stars mantle..that wouldnt surprise me.

It's a shame. If Toho had appreciated those suits for what they truly were at the time, pure artistry, (Maybe not '62 kong) more of them could have been preserved and still been around to this day. At least there are replicas of the 1954 suit

[Fembrogon]

I think a lot of film studios underestimated the value of their output and props in earlier decades; consider how many films have needed serious restoration or have been lost to time entirely because of poor storage. Toho was probably one of many companies who had no idea of the longevity their films would end up having.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Picked up a 30cm Crawling Varan and a 30 cm 1955 monochrome Anguirus





You can hear that Anguirus..right?

[Eocarcharia]

Better watch out for Gigantis.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Better watch out for Gigantis.

lol I could have bought him too, the seller had both but money was a little tighter so I just got my favorite..might regret it later..

[bmathison1972]

must...stop...visiting....this...thread...or...I...might...start....collecting...Godzilla...figures...too... 

[Fembrogon]

Haha, it's addicting, isn't it? Kaiju collecting hasn't gotten cheaper, either. I had a stretch from around 2014-2016 when I was hauling in lots of kaiju goodies at nice prices, but I had to taper off as my budget changed and the deals started shrinking.

[Fembrogon]

The next wave of Playmates figures is hitting stores now, so I was able to pick up a Godzilla Terrestris last night while I was out. I'm still looking for a Gorosaurus, but Terrestris is honestly really good for this line - arguably rivaling its Bandai equivalent from the photos I've seen. The Shin Godzilla & Godzilla 2004 still have a bootleg quality to their appearance, but the Terrestris is a sign of promise for quality and variety.
