Oh man, yes.

Found a listing for - Ultimate Toho Super Weapon Ichinojin 1Box 8pcs - on Hobbylink Japan. guessing this is possibly the little vehicle model kits shown before. HLJ's closed preorders already.

There was a Tsuburaya Supeer Weapon Set 2 listing as well. The first Tsuburaya set is on ebay and consists of jets from a couple of different Ultra series.

I was wrong on the Toho Super Weapons set, pics show it as being a 5 figure set of 30 mm versions of Super X, Super X2, Type 66 Maser Tank, A Cycle light Ray Gun & jeep, & 24 Rocket launcher truck

Well rats. That sounds like something I can’t live without! And I already have most of those from the toho machine chronicles sets from years ago (though I seem to have lost the closed fire mirror piece of the super x 2 somehow)

I found pictures of the set on the "SH Monsterarts Thailand Collectors" Facebook page. Here's what they posted back on December 1st. They are less than half the size of the Machine Chronicles set, and the Super-X2 is smaller than both the Monsterarts version and the High Grade series 3 version. Also note that they appear to be solid i.e. no moving or swappable parts:

Thank you for sharing. Those look really cool. While I'm not a big fan of military/weapons porn (thought I respect people who are into that type of stuff) it's nice to finally get some figures of some of the Godzilla series' unique weaponry.

Now here is an interesting set in the Bandai HG gashapon series that was just announced. Might have to get it just for Guilala

Who's that last one?

I don't recall Bandai making any Guilala toys before, but it looks identical to the Iwakura figure and another mini diorama that I have, same pose and all. If What to Do With the Dead Kaiju? is good, its nice to know there's a figure out there.

I'm not too good with Ultra kaiju but I think its Metallinome. Kinda wish they included a non-Ultra/Toho kaiju in the last spot, like Yonggary, Gappa, or Reigo/Raiga.

These are awesome, and I7m glad some obscure/non-Toho and Tsubvaraya monsters are getting some hype.

The alien is called Metarioum, and it's from an old TV show called "Captain Ultra", not Ultraman.

I've never seen the mushroom creature before. I believe it's another monster from the upcoming movie. So the first two are from the movie and the third and forth are from oldies.

Can't believe Bandai is making merch about a new indie movie and the King of the Monsters, Guilala.
'22 is off the hook so far

Ah, thanks. Never heard of that guy though. TBH never heard of the show he's from either. Definitely a deep cut.

Would love to see any of those kaiju you listed. On the subject of other kaiju, I'd also love a Daimajin set that gives us all the different versions of him over the years. They are still doing Gamera sets, so maybe Daimajin is possible.

It is from What to Do With the Dead Kaiju?, though I don't think its a kaiju itself, just fungus that grows off the main kaiju's body. You can see mushrooms on its back:

Wait, Bandai makes non-Toho/Tsuburaya kaiju? Have they done any non-Japanese kaiju?
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." - Ishiro Honda

The lineup of the first HGX set has been unveiled. Translated description:
Collect 7 Destroyer parts (bonus parts) to complete the complete Destroyer!
"Godzilla 1995" can emit light with the separately sold Luminous unit!

[Set Contents]
・ Godzilla 1995 + Destroyer Parts
・ Super XIII + Destroyer Parts
・ Type 92 Messer Tank + Destroyer Parts
・ Type 95 Refrigerated Laser Tank + Destroyer Parts
・ Type 93 Self-propelled Anti-aircraft Messer Cannon + Destroyer Parts
・Destroyer juvenile + Destroyer parts
/ Destroyer aggregate + Destroyer parts
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/aromacoffee/ ... &rafct=g_1

Found a pic, too. Found it first; wasn't sure if it was legit at first but it matches the description.

Image

So, each figure/vehicle will come with a piece of adult Destoroyah, and if you get all seven, you can complete Destoroyah. Like the Marvel "Build-A-Figure" gimmick. I think it actually sounds pretty neat. Would've been cool to have gotten a Flying Destoroyah or Godzilla Junior in there to really complete the set, but damn if it isn't a neat idea.

For a second, my dyslexia read "Godzilla 1985 can emit light" and I nearly panicked.

The G95 is nearly 4" tall. I wonder how big the mechs will be?

This is cool, but I have to ask, will it be a special randomized part per gacha, or a specific part per figure? I imagine it's the latter, ie if you get them all you're guaranteed destoroyah, but otherwise if not it'll be a pain and almost scam to assemble the damn thing. Glad we get some different destroyoah forms, but as people have been mentioning it's weird some forms are lacking.

So... Are we aborting the HG D+ line then?

I'm all for this, anyway. I've always wanted some more merch of the military units and I can dig a slightly larger scale for these things.

Nice. I hope a complete set will not cost an arm and a leg...

WHEN will these be released into the wild...?
