    Nice.
    I didn't think one would show up anywhere.
    I'll keep looking.

    Bucking the trend ever-so-slightly of how ugly the Battle Roar subline has been, woo.

    These figures look terrible. All of the Mechas look like they're dropping a radioactive Kaiju deuce. It's a shame that the Trendmasters Godzilla line from nearly 30 years ago blows these out of the water.

    The only Playmates figure I bought was Jet Jaguar, which is decent when grading on a curve, but not great.

    Gorosaurus and Rodan fare better than JJ plus they actually stand! Most of them are indeed pretty poop.

    Besides that and the vinyl stuff.

    Are they just doing vinyl figures and children’s toys and no collectors stuff? If so, how long do they have the license and when can another company try for it?

    Nope, we’re locked into what you see from them so far, just an odd way to phrase it since most Godzilla media is movies. Super7 will someday catch up enough to show off their Ultimates line, there’s Bandai import stuff, X-Plus, whatever Mondo puts out, all the other vinyl companies, the various statues…

    Are we sure Super 7 is going to do an Ultimates line? I don't recall them saying anything about one yet?

    I hope they do ... I'm just worried they may not.

    They announced early last year they were doing Ultimates when they revealed they acquired the license.

    Wish this pics looked less potato-quality soI could get a better look but some neat surprises. Godzilla Terrestris of all things?! Shin still looks weird, just not as hideous as the first attempt, closer to some Heisei-Shin hybrid. Lot of reissues I guess for those that still missed out on some of the newer stuff.

    Apparently these pics were leaked from closed-door booth so that's all for the time being.

    Nothing revealed I have any interest in.

    I hope they do more Showa monsters soon.
