I mean, can you tell us more about it? Otherwise it's just a screenshot that is ridiculously easy to fabricate.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
I came across it in a Discord server, the poster didn't really provide any more information outside of the image, but I can tell it's from Target (duh).
I'm leaning towards fake because of the photo quality. But on the fringe chance it's real....
Playmates might be my favorite company with the license currently.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Don't recall how the new Bandai sculpt got Gorosaurus looks like but this Playmates version looks really solid. Will probably get whichever version is most accessible.
Rodan figure not crazy about but it looks like it homages the old Bandai vinyl from way back.
Might have posted here about Jet Jaguar. Seen it at stores a few times but tbh not too impressed by the sculpt in person. Head and neck along with the flat paint turn me off. Decided on getting the new Bandai over it.

I personally think the snout is a little...stunted, maybe? The Playmates one seems better in that department IMO. I'm still getting it because, why the fuck not lol

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Yea I think the Playmates sculpt looks better between the snout and also the teeth (I like the front fangs on Playmates especially).
Judging the pose of that Jet Jaguar, it did maybe look a little too dynamic for its own good. Then again, I am used to the statue-esque Ultraman vinyls.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Wow...yea, that Bandai Gorosaurus definitely has too short of a snout.
I wonder if Playmates would ever offer up a Gabara figure? Ain't he like one of the ONLY Toho kaiju who never got a Bandai Japan vinyl?

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Ebirah never got one either, neither did Zilla and some other Kaiju in their FW designs.

Yes, the snout is a little stunted on the Bandai but there's also something so goofy and off about the mouth on the Playmates. It kind of balances out.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Main Site confirmed Rodan 1956 and Gorosaurus:
https://www.tohokingdom.com/blog/godzil ... rst-looks/
Shocked that we are getting not just ONE but TWO Gorosaurus figures this year, and the playmates one looks decent. I'm surprised that there will be a Gorosaurus figure on American store shelves, but I'm not complaining. That's the type of thing that some kid picks up because they like dinosaurs and wind up getting into Godzilla.
Rodan looks alright. Admittedly the 1956 head always looked a little strange to me, and minus some of the color it looks accurate. I appreciate the possibility on the wings.
Edit, I'm late to the party. Oh well. Looking foward to the other stuff.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
Interesting thing is in that one picture of Rodan it looks like there is a hinge on the wings. Possible wing articulation?

I love how lisencing mandates a year accompany the name of every monster, even in the case of Gorosaurus where its totally pointless.

Oh yeah!!!! I have that one on preorder. Three! Shit. Guess we'll see what the MMS looks like when it comes out, fully painted.KingCornetto wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 10:54 pmThere’s also the Mezco one coming soon. Lots of love for Goro this year!

Found this on Reddit. It looks like they have been found in the wild so happy hunting. It doesn’t look like Rodan has that hinge.

Wonderful! Very pleased that's the version of Rodan they went with. Might not look great, but much better than the earlier shlock they started the classic line with. I think it might look better than Jet Jaguar too, IMO.DoubleDam21 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 7:03 pm

Also like how it seems to be paying homage to Bandai's classic vinyl figure from the 80's. Or just ripped it off. Either way, I'm eager to compare the two when I get this guy.

Re: Playmates: Godzilla/Kong
I say ripped off. No American toy company producing figures for 6 year olds is going to pay homage to a 30 year old Japanese toy.
