There are no "rumored" MMS releases. It's too soon for the May releases - Burning Godzilla, Destroyer.and a new Kiryu - to be revealed. April, most likely.

So apparently the new Ultraman 80 Dznamite Ball sofubi released today is part of a special Ultraman Sofubi sub-line called "Special Selection". There are rumors that one of the next characters will be Ultraman Z Death Claw.

I still have and love my Bandai Creations Destroyah figure, absolutely one of their greatest releases.

It's crazy to me Destoroyah wasn't ported over for the MMS EX line yet wonky ones like G'68 or even MG'74 did. Destoroyahs probably the best BC, next to G'14 and maybe the old Showa Gigan

I'm assuming it was because Destroyer had been a staple of the MMS series for so long and releasing the BC one didn't make a lot of sense the way the other figures did.

Never been a fan of that BC Gigan though. Always thought it looked way too dumpy.

Meh, I think he's kinda cool. Nice approximation of the '73 suit, if anything. Besides the wonky likeness the detail and such is still real nice, in some ways I think he looks nicer than the usual MMS Gigan.

I want to get the MMS Godzilla 1998 figure and I currently found a listing on ebay for one where I'm looking at a total of $54.53 and that includes shipping. Think I'm likely to find a better offer or should I take this one?

That’s where I got mine and around that price.

If you consider how much shipping from Japan is, that’s not bad.

I say pull the trigger and get it if it’s a must for your collection.
