I really love the Marmit! The sculpt is absolutely spot on. It really captures GMK's beer belly better than any other figure I've seen... :mrgreen: Not to mention the super cool looking color scheme. Not too tacky, as I feel some Marmits can be - sorta makes the figure look like a proper piece of art.

The Mini-Shogun is just as awesome. Looks just like the classic figure, just scaled down! The super accurate box is a great touch, too. I'd love to see more figures of the Shogun-Zilla design.
Very nice. The GMK is a beut. Curious though, since its been A LONG time since I got mine when it first came out... How much he cost ya'? Don't see him pop up all the time anymore.

Also, just pretty much burnt through a big chunk of my collection budget for the month... -_-

Lucky for me, both he and Shogun cost me zilch. I traded a buddy of mine some of my vintage Pokémon card collection for 'em - I figured, eh, I'd rather have some cool new figures than old cards, even though I'm nostalgic for them. Good deal if you ask me. I'm pretty sure the GMK runs around $1/200 on Ebay, though people have it listed for much more.

I don't like customs, like, at all. Most of the time, its just people ruining vintage figures, and that annoys me......But this was definitely a HUGE exception. Just scored a custom Destoroyah, the 8 inch original Bandai, which was already one of my favorite figures.

I also got Megagurius and the Japanese version of Godzilla 1991 to go with my Korean version.

EDIT: about a month ago I bought the 6 inch scale Bandai Orga. It finally arrived today....and it was not the 6 inch scale Bandai Orga. I got the 8 inch sound battler. Which...I guess is an upgrade? I like 8 inch figures more anyway, and it was very cheap, which is why I assumed it was the 6 inch. In any case, its an awesome figure.

Nabbed the Godziban trio off Ebay for 45 bucks. Can't wait to get those little guys in hand.

I picked up a Yamakatsu 1974 Mechagodzilla while I was on vacation last week. Then my Green-Blue Bandai 74 MechaGodzilla arrived in the mail this week. Lastly I was at Walmart and they received a NECA Shin Godzilla w/atomic breath. It was an unopened return. Wild that they still had it. Hurt my hands to get the tail on, but it’s cool to have.

I don't know if it counts as 'just bought' since it won't charge till January, but re: cards, I was able to sell off all my old Yugioh stuff for enough to pay for SCV Ghidorah 2019, and bank some too. I liked those cards, good times, but I am so out of date on them I no longer know how the game is played now. The most eye-catching Ghidorah design/color I've ever seen will give me more enjoyment than cards I can no longer use sitting in a box, I figured.

I have a couple preorders that will be quite expensive. Around $400 so far, including two SHMA, the MEZCO sets, the Ichibanso figure, etc. I think the last thing I will DEFINITELY get will be the big Mezco Godzilla.

Suffice it to say, it'll be the crown jewel of my Godzilla toy collection when it arrives.

Yeah, I've been trimming down my preorders and want list too. I was spending too much on 'moderately interesting'. I'm trying to only jump when something REALLY wows me. It's gotten where, for many franchises, the repitition was starting to show. So I cut a lot of Transformers, went for SCV Ghidorah, which I have no version of at all, and Gigan is a 'if a job interview goes really well' type thing. Sort of enhancing what setups I already have, rather than make yet another new one.

I preordered the Mondo Hanna Barbara Godzilla if that counts. I went with the payment plan because I just don't make enough to justify dropping a hundred dollars on something like that right now.

However, I'm hopeful ill be able to go grocery shopping today and maybe find some Godzilla related stuff at Target.

Alas, my local target had no Godzilla stuff.

Not surprising, considering how much it sucks.

Crazy how all the ramen was gone.
