Nope, not even a shipping announcement. Maybe they're waiting to ship both sets?

Yeah, possibly. I've never had issues with them, so I'm not too worried. But I wanted to make sure that I didn't get missed or anything.

Just got my Round 2 set from Things From Another World. I'll admit...these are very cool. Super impressed with the quality of the figures and all the little details. Can't wait to get Round 1 and the Hedorah set.

Mezco shipped these recently. A friend of mine is getting his today.

Oh wow - the Ghidorah/Gorosaurus/Baragon set was fun, but the Godzilla/Mothra/Rodan/Anguirus set is the real fun. What a fantastic set. Amazing paint, fun accessories and effects, incredible sculpting! Love this set. I even love the weird little surprise of Mothra having a "rattle" feature.

My only problem with these is that they seem to have a problem with open mouths and teeth. Gorosaurs and the open mouth Godzilla and Angilas heads look off by quite a bit.

Mothra rattles when you shake her :)

Seems to be filled with...whatever it is that makes toy rattles rattle.

Whatever Mothra is "filled" with, It's probably to weight it down so when the web effect is used it wont tip over forward.
My set has no paint problems that the round 2 set had that some reviewers on youtube had. Even the teeth are fine.
Anguilas Open mouth head spikes are somewhat bent from packing, which for me was the only issue so far...
Rodan also has a flight stand which I didn't know came with the set. To me Rodan is the stand out figure in the set.
I recommend the Round 1 Set :angel:

After getting Round 1, I have to say that I’m really disappointed in Mezco’s weak quality control. Godzilla’s claws as well as Anguirus’s spines are sloppy, with Anguirus’s spikes being very underpainted. Other things worth noting being: Rodan’s alternate closed mouth head is not included and Godzilla’s pupils are much smaller than the prototype’s. For this set being delayed by about five months, Mezco really didn’t take the opportunity to cook these a little more before releasing them, especially with a near $100 price tag. I’m still happy with these, but the flaws still needed to be pointed out regardless.

My biggest complaint is still the really obvious gum lines on the open mouth heads. The Godzilla, Angilas and Gorosaurus head sculpts are actually extremely good. But the pink gums around the teeth are so aggressive that it really hurts these figures. Baragon and Ghidorah look perfect because they don't have this problem. It's especially painful on Godzilla. I'll probably keep the closed mouth head on that one when I get it this week.

Shoot, I'm now regretting not preordering the Mothra set. Hopefully I will have another chance.

Also, I hope they make a 64 Goji figure also. I wish they had for this set, I wonder why they didn't.

EDIT: I just ordered it via waitlist on the Mezco site. Sweet.

Also, I hope they make a giant 54 Goji, and a giant 64 Goji..

“Waitlist” for most collectible companies means you’re not guaranteed a product. It means once all preorders and retail orders are filled, if they have any extras left (which they usually do) then they go down the waitlist people in order of when they signed up and sell them until they run out.

Not sure how Mezco does it specifically but I bet it’s something like that.

Oh yeah I know, but thanks for clarifying it for me!

I hope Mezco reveals their 2023 figures soon! Either a Godzilla vs the Sea Monster or Terror of Mechagodzilla set would be great!

So I usually don't condone bugging companies about things but after getting DAM Round 1 yesterday I really (and I mean REALLY) want Mezco to do one more set. Is there someone at Mezco we can ask (i.e. bug) about this? The little display I've put together looks lonely without Manda, Kumonga and Varan. They're an American company. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone to ask, right?

Just do the other monsters as well.
"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

Well, Awesome Collector FINALLY processed payment for my order of the two DAM sets. Maybe I'll actually get to see them soon?...
