Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
The line is out - all the ones solicited last year are out or have been out. These small scale figures came out of the blue and could be out for a later release - but what was the image source for this anyway?Thegarbagemonster wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 3:48 pm I don't think it was a fake lol the line just isn't out properly yet
I'm not too hyped for a fucking behemoth figure, literately on bottom of the list for me but we'll see if it turns out to actually be something or not.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Hmm, that's odd, but I can pretty much assure you it's no fake. The first we even saw of these figures was someone selling the whole line on Ebay, and they had got them from a factory apparently- and it included Behemoth.SpaceG92 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:28 pmThe line is out - all the ones solicited last year are out or have been out.

Yep.. the Walmart employee said he came in with 3 carts, loaded up everything and left for the check out. I was there 1 hours later. Thats how close I was but the rest of my stores haven't even got the display up.goji89 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 8:26 pmWhat?

An entire display bought by one man? That's freaking nuts.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Scalping practices should be not allowed in stores. Seriously. I know muh capitalism - and "better sell stock then have it warm up", I get it, I work retail I know how it works. Guarantee Profit > Seriously though, fuck of with that shit.
oh, yeah about that! So while I was looking around the display for whatever was left. My zoning instincts kicked in and I decided to actually face the entire display. I was mostly pissed everything was "strategically hidden behind dividers". Ended up moving everything up to the top and I got asked if I worked here. "Nah, m8, just some anxiety kicking in from seeing a messy Godzilla display." They asked if I found a MG. Showed him the MG row and told him to cherry pick the best one there. Did my good deed for the day I guess.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
The 2" mini figures are indeed real, and it appears that they are being sold in Asian countries right now. I heard somebody say they were not being released in the US, but then somebody here a few pages back said they are, so I don't know what the deal is. But they are 100% official, and I'm hoping to hear more soon.
The original leaks had two giant Mechagodzillas on display. I assume one was the Mega, as it would be pretty dumb not to release an electronic Mechagodzilla. The Mega figures look phenomenal as well, so I'm eagerly anticipating MG's reveal!the-killer-wc wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 5:56 pm You guys think we are getting a mega mecha g at some point or what?

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Idk about you guys but I'd love a standard sized Hellhawk figure even if it wouldn't be to scale. Even if it was, like, two half-sized ones in a pack.

Oh true, looking at it the upper figures look like the giant 11 inch line. And the lower one is the mega 13 inch line. They might be waiting to middle of the month for the reveal. I'm definitely getting the mega mecha godzilla when it releases.

Behemoth might have been a Titan in the original opening and he got cut with the reshoots.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Good list. There was also an "Alt Skullcrawler" at some point as well, but that could've been nothing; there were a few fake listings. And there's of course the minis, though those are technically out in some places. Never heard of the Battle Roar MG, but I don't doubt its a possibility.WarpedBandicoot99 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 9:45 am Seeing as how the movie is now released, I wonder when Playmates are going to reveal the rest of the GVK toyline. If memory serves me well, then the rest consist of:
Mega Mechagodzilla
Godzilla X-Treme with Fighter Jet
Arctic Kong (?)
Battle Roar Mechagodzilla (?)
Mechagodzilla with Proton Scream
That Godzilla with the yellow "flames" (unless cancelled)
And I believe that Mega Armoured Godzilla was probably cancelled, which means that others may have been cancelled at some point too?
I saw the Godzilla with yellow you mentioned and I think I know what it is - the yellow is a sticker. In the same pics, the Mega Godzilla has a big yellow "try me" arrow sticker. The final "Battle Roar" figures have red stickers, and I can't tell if Godzilla's head is sticking up or not in the leaks, but these were prototypes on display, so naturally the final products may vary. But I'm fairly positive that was a Battle Roar Godzilla prototype, or some sort of Godzilla with a "try me" sticker.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Yeah as I said before, the photo is quite low in quality and may lead to some misinterpretations. The alt. Skullcrawler speculation may have been a result of the leaked prototypes, seeing as how the Skullcrawler prototype leaked a red colouration. I wouldn't mind that variation though.
As for the "Battle Roar Mechagodzilla, I merely assumed because each of the "big three" of the movie (Godzilla, Kong, and Mechagodzilla) all have figures in each assortment except for the mini figures of course.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
It would certainly be nice if Playmates was more communicative in some way. We never seem to know what's going on until things are already on shelves.
I like to think that, if the mini figures do get a wider release, they might add some more to the line later on. It's certainly strange that Mechagodzilla isn't in that line.
The Skullcrawler variant came from a UPC, actually. Then again, there was also a "GVK Ghidorah" and "GVK Rodan" listed, I think, and those ended up being nothing. I have no idea how those UPC things work.WarpedBandicoot99 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 8:24 am Yeah as I said before, the photo is quite low in quality and may lead to some misinterpretations. The alt.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Ya know... After seeing the film. The standard sullcrawler seems to actually be in scale with the big figures. Also, apparently all the toys in my area are completely gone. Went to get my nephew a Kong, and it's empty.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
My Walmart still has a ton of these.... well not a ton but since my theater opened up and screened the movie I have seen alot of these figures. The skull crawler, MG, HK goji and kong, and warbat.
I should buy them and scalp them I mean at least I'll get something out of it.
