    I think it would be wise when BBTS does do another preorder on Hiya Toys Godzilla you pounce on it like tiger. LOL

    Well of course, and as I said in my previous post I was sure I HAD preordered one. Like, I have a specific memory of seeing it go up and immediately putting it in my cart. Not sure what happened. :(

    So uh... apparently the Mothra I originally tried to order directly through Mezco DID go through and they shipped her out to me this morning. I'm a bit confused because they put me on a wait list telling me I would most likely not get her, which is why I ordered from BBTS.

    Sorry I'm out of the loop in terms of gaming but is it a new Gojira game? If so, how's the gameplay? I hope its something along "save the earth"...something fast pace and fun.

    I don't know about GigaBash per se, but to me in my honest opinions looks like Super Smash Bros. with monsters and etc paying tribute to the OG of the genre.

    Gigabash is a 1-4 player giant monster brawler very much along the lines of Save The Earth and Power Stone. It came out in August this year as its own game, the Toho 4-pack is just a really cool add-on.

    Here's a good example of the gameplay, skip to the 5:40 mark if the link doesn't take you there directly.

    Anyone have experience with X-Plus figures? My sister got this Gyaos for my nephew but it requires the wings to be glued to the torso. What type of glue should she use?

    Which kind of X-Plus figure is this? The old carded vinyl releases? My only experience with those, zero glue was actually required, just heating up the vinyl to insert the limbs and allowing them to cool afterward was enough.

    It's an older carded model, she showed it to me while Facetiming. I'll call her back later to get a better look at it.

    I can't speak to the Neca Godzilla KOs specifically, but I had been watching reviews on the Neca KO TMNT movie figures a whiles back and the consensus seemed to be that they were not perfect to the original Neca releases, but they were 95-98% of the way there, with the main issues being slight mold and paint app changes that weren't quite as good as the originals. More importantly, most people wouldn't notice if you bought one over the other.

    Not sure if the Godzilla KOs are being produced by the same KO people, but it being Neca too, wouldn't be surprised if its the same factory pumping them out.

    Give it time. This was literally the only figure in the line that was there & it was nearly buried among a mess of figures in the collector's section near Electronics. I didn't even know it existed until I found it.
