Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Yeah I'm only grabbing my favorite designs except the Legendary Godzilla that particular figure was just too good to pass on.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
I don’t really have a wishlist, honestly. I’ve already got my “grail” pieces in two different X-plus 30cm ‘84 Goji’s and the 25cm X-plus GTTHM cast of monsters.
And between what’s currently available and stuff we know is coming in the next months/years there’s already more than I’m willing/able to keep up with. But I’m really enjoying the great releases we’re getting.
So I guess my wishlist is more just the ability to continue collecting and enjoying the things I like most as they come.
That and I really want to do some more custom painting vinyl figures. That’s a lot of fun and I have some cool ideas I’d really like to try out.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Mine haven't changed much since I scored most of my grails in 2014. These are the same longshot items I've been wanting for almost a decade. The only additions are Hiya figures from G14 movie, since their sculpts for GKOTM and GvK were so good:
Diecast Super-X (at least 4" long)
Diecast MBT-92 tank (at least 4" long)
Diecast KIDS timeship (at least 4" windspan)
SHMA Godzilla 1984
SHMA Godzillasaurus
Hiya Toys Godzilla 2014
Hiya Toys MUTO male
Hiya Toys MUTO female
Godzilla 1985 on Blu-ray or 4K
Diecast Super-X (at least 4" long)
Diecast MBT-92 tank (at least 4" long)
Diecast KIDS timeship (at least 4" windspan)
SHMA Godzilla 1984
SHMA Godzillasaurus
Hiya Toys Godzilla 2014
Hiya Toys MUTO male
Hiya Toys MUTO female
Godzilla 1985 on Blu-ray or 4K

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Well, my 'wishlist' would mainly be that BANDAI keeps churning out MMS sideballs like Gorosaurus, Varan, Ebirah, Baragon, FW Hedorah, FW Manda and so on.
And I really, REALLY want SHMA M.U.T.O.'s, Rose Biollante & King Kong' 62...
Then a few more iconic Ultra Monsters (actual KAIJU) in SHF Form would be a nice treat, too.
And I finally want my B... B... B... BIG BOY BANDAI BAGAN ~

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
I just want Bandai to keep making MMS figures of Showa monsters. Showa winning the Godzilla Store poll two years in a row has shown them there's a big market for these older guys if Ebirah and Baragon coming out next year are any indication.
My hopes aren't high for a Showa Manda if they're doing the GFW version, but I really wish they eventually do a Showa Kumonga eventually. Or Gabara.

Us long time Bandai collectors already have a beautiful Showa Mogera that I can't see them topping today, but I can understand why today's collectors would want a new one.

I’m on the same boat as Legion; my ultimate desire is for Zedus to get his due, but in regards to Toho alone I’m more interested in Showa. Ebirah and Baragon are exciting but I’d definitely love to see some other classic characters; Moguera, Manda, and especially Gabara (who I fear we’ll never get at this point- scoring low in the contest and his anniversary passing him by don’t make me optimistic).

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
I never thought I'd see a day where we'd have TWO Mandas from Bandai and I'd still be unhappy. The 1968 Manda is one of my top wants. I love the Xplus version but I really want a more traditional vinyl of him.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Manda is one of my favorite Toho monsters so I'm glad he's finally getting some attention, but I would definitely love to see the Showa version be represented (I also prefer the 1968 but I honestly wouldn't care WHICH Showa one we got). The SP version was an odd choice for how little he appeared in the show, but didn't really lead itself to a good toy design. It was pretty angular and I found the figure to look and feel more like a writing utensil when I had it in-hand.Legion1979 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:51 pm I never thought I'd see a day where we'd have TWO Mandas from Bandai and I'd still be unhappy.

I would hope the 2004 version is a bit more "serpent-like" in that sense, but I guess we won't know until those production photos drop.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Final Wars Manda is my favorite take on the creature. My second favorite color on a sea serpent will always make me satisfied.
The listings so far have been pretty reliable, so I don't think this is not happening. I just wonder why NOW for the FW Manda? I'm not against it at all, but it is strange for sure. Thinking back to wish lists, a new mold for Destoroyah would be nice. Something NOT small and tiny please.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Finish the DAM and GFW rosters (obvious priority to the former) is my main wish, and it felt like a pipe dream but Gorosaurus, Varan and Baragon were consecutively my top three wants and all apply to DAM, so not feeling too doubtful that we might eventually get there as the years pass. Kumonga is my new number one want so I'm sure we'll see him in a year or two. Definitely second the desire for a Showa Manda.
I'd actually really, really like to see a new Showa Anguirus. I've had the 1998 release for a few years and it felt very out of place in my collection... but very recently I acquired the 2001 release and while I don't prefer the eyes on the newer one, the overall paint scheme feels so much more lively and it has somewhat rehabilitated the mold in my eyes... all the same, it feels slightly dated compared to the modern MMS line, and I'd like to see an Anguirus '55 or a fresh take at '68 or '72, especially if we could get some head or tail articulation this time around.
Also though, I'd love to see them re-scale the GMK 2001 figures, especially Godzilla and Baragon. I already have the 8" Godzilla '01 because it's such a beautiful figure, but my core collection is 6" so I'd like to see it scaled down.

I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
SHMA Anguirus of like, any design. Seriously, how do you do Monster X before him? Bonkers.
SHMA Showa or Millenium Mothra would be amazing also.

Re: The 2023 Collectors Wishlist!
Just got to thinking one of my most desired dream figures, an Xplus Gigantic Godzilla 1984 could very possible get announced sometime next year. 2024 will be the film's 40th anniversary after all.

NJPW X Godzilla T-Shirts. Jushin Liger should just lobby for this to happen. They collabed last year for Godzilla vs Kong.
