So the Godzilla Store lists “Movie Monster Series” Burning Godzilla V2 and Destoroyah V3, but they appear to be in the 5” line. Are these the same figures that are the Japanese MMS figures or are we being misled? They come in the same boxes as the rest of the 5” line and we know Destoroyah was even smaller in the latest MMS release. This is confusing but it looks like MMS might be going 5” line.

I think it they might just be mislabeled on the website, the boxes for both of them still say "Godzilla Monster Series". I assume someone probably got them and the MMS 2.0's mixed up. (Also the sculpts just look like undersized versions of those 2.0s)

Does anyone know when the fake Godzilla set releases? Isn’t it this month?

They're just mislabed as MMS series for some reason. They're clearly not the regular MMS figures that Bandai Japan just put out. The Godzillas are completely different, for one. They're also $15 each, which should be a huge tip off because no standard size MMS figure is that cheap. These toys were revealed at Toy Fair months ago along with several future 6" editions to the main US MMS line.

The main MMS line isn't going down to 5". The sky isn't falling. Stop worrying.

Shouldn’t we be seeing the 89 Bandai soon? I’m very curious to see what that ends up looking like.

The flying 71 is shipping in late July. The 89 isn't coming out until sometime in September. We still have a few weeks I think.

I’m not worried. I was just confused by the naming. I eventually want to get the 2.0 Burning and Destoroyah but when I saw $15 on the G store I wasn’t sure if I was getting a deal on MMS or they had changed the line entirely.

I am surprised that the Godzilla store hasn’t had a live stream in a while. I would think that they would be having one soon.

Big Bad Toy Store and Showcase Daikaiju are both taking preorders. Keep in mind these don't come out until next year.

I ordered mine from Showcase Daikaiju. I can’t wait to January to get here, the wait is going to be unbearable.

Probably not until close to Godzilla Day.

What I really want to know is why the Aggregate Destroyer figure never went up on the US site.

Oh lord yes. I would love a slightly retooled paint job on a 62!

My top three figures right now would be an updated King Seesar, Godzilla 1962 and a Rodan 65.

I realize this figure is old news by now, but for those who have him how is the G2K 2.0 figure? I'm kinda on the fence with him as I adore that design and it looks great, but I still think the original Bandai figure of it looks incredible. Specifically, I have the one with the orange fins from the GxM figure set.

I picked mine up yesterday, absolutely incredible sculpt, and I own the original Toho Kaiju release (signed!) and the memorial box version. DON'T sleep on this guy.
Redman outclasses anything Toho ever made.
