    Guess collectors will be forced to pay the premium Bandai offers instead. We'll call it "The Ghidorah Effect."

    I'd say this isn't undeserved because they only ever put out a half dozen figures a year and most of them were repaints, but that's all SHMA is too, so...

    Am I going to have to cut a bitch on the back wall of a Target for that Tokyo SOS figure?

    Who knows, maybe this will cause retailers to clearance them and I pick one up.

    I saw this on a Facebook group and no one could provide a link to NECA that supports it.
    It's not here: Login • Instagram
    Nor here: Home

    In fact, they have the Tokyo SOS and Biollante figures just listed for sale as normal.

    Someone should Tweet Randy, he'll probably have a very concise response.

    Has anyone found the new Godzillas in-store yet? With the news of this possible cancellation, I'm antsier than ever to secure them, and I'd rather not pay the extra shipping costs from Amazon or ebay.

    Looks like I'll have to buy the 89 and 03 Godzillas as soon as I see them at Target. In fact, if they have more than one, I'm buying two of each given my track record with NECA's Godzillas.

    Guys.
    There is no evidence that this is true.
    It's just an unaccredited screen grab in a format that doesn't match NECA's website nor their Instagram.
    I'm calling it Fake News!

    You may think Scarlet Knight called it Fake News first, but that is also FAKE NEWS.
    I said it first. Believe me.

    I never said that I called it first. You definitely called it first.

    I'm just joking.
    I wish NECA were joking, too.

    Are they even going to release what's been announced?

    Well I guess maybe why they're flooding Targets with Godzillas. Basically every single one is available at every Target I've been to. I was planning on skipping the last two, but maybe will order them since they'll be gone later. Plus if Bandai re-releases the Biollante like they showed, I'll need a scale Godzilla to go against her.

    Not sure, but it sounds like potentially not.

    Forgive my ignorance, but how tall are the largest Godzilla figures?

    ToyBoxOne on Twitter. Vangelus retweeted it, which is how I saw it.
