I was on Facebook today and they shared an ebay listing. Someone has Gorosaurus selling for $130 by himself not even with Rodan and it has 17 watchers. That tells me Tamashii likely could get away with a bare bones Gorosaurs for $90 if they wanted.

I've been off facebook for a bit, but I logged in to check a few things the other day and saw that a few people were seeing Gorosaurus in their local targets. I haven't seen any at the ones around me, but I'll have to keep looking.

I snagged a Rodan from my local Target but no Gorosaurus. I’ll check a different one later.

I hope Playmates does figures of Varan (1958) and Manda (1968) next.

For some dumb reason, my local Walmart already has the Classic figures on Clearaance, so are they not carrying them anymore? They got in TWO shipments of Burning Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. I bought the first set they got and then the second shipment went straight to Clearance?! :?

I haven’t seen anyone find it yet but people have been spotting Antarctic Kong so it’s only a matter of time.

...Huh.

(For the record, this pic is from Hong Kong, so I still can't tell you if they'll ever be available stateside. But I'd say this is probably a good sign, personally.)

I was only really interested in the Skullcrawler but if they made a multipack like that for $20 or so I'd spring for it and use the rest as little Skull Island monsters or something.

I just want to say the "snow covered" Kong has got to be the laziest thing to happen.

Grab a paint brush, dip into white paint, and just flick the ends onto a regular Kong figure and BAM snow covered Kong.

Yes, but no.

At least this MA has more effort put into it than just sprinkled on white paint.

I'm not sure I get it, what was the Godzilla toy shown?

I'm stuck in quarantine for a bit, so I myself did the laziest Godzilla Upgrade ever. By giving him a rocket launcher, I have created "2021 continues" Godzilla.

Playmates also costs about $130 less.
