I wonder if Super7 could make a Tricephalon (in either ReAction or Ultimate scale).

Does anyone know when they will announce the next 3.75 figures?

It's about 6 months between waves going up for sale, with waves sometimes being revealed/announced 1-2 months prior to release.

What are people's hopes for the G57 or Jet Jaguar of wave 2? I am fiending for an action figure of Titanosaurus

If I had to guess I would put my money on Anguirus (maybe ‘55?) as we already got a Mothra and Rodan. No clue which Godzilla they’ll do next.

The fact that they produced a Godzilla 1957 makes me optimistic they could make some deep cuts, although I will admit that I’m disappointed in the 57 figure’s sculpt.

My guesses are G62, G64, Varan, Megalon, Gigan, and King Ghidorah. There's not much to go on, but this would start forming some of the pairings (G64 and Mothra, Jet Jaguar and Megalon, Gigan and Ghidorah).

Brian confirmed that G55 and Anguirus 57 would be coming, but the latter would not be in Wave 2. I think it makes sense to put those suits together and to create some distance from wave 1 so that they don't look similar on the pegs to casual customers.

Angilas 1957? Unlike the 57 Godzilla, which has very significant long lasting differences, what makes the 57 Angilas so special?

My best guess for wave 2 is ‘64 and ‘68 Godzillas, Angilas (not sure which year), Titanosaurus, Gigan, and Minya.

I’m sure they’ll do Ghidorah at some point but I kinda feel like they’ll save him for wave 3 or 4. Of course I have no idea other than just guessing.

It looks very similar to the 55, and I doubt the stylization of ReAction would be able to capture any differences, but it would be merchandise from a cancelled film and that seems to always be welcomed.

Still seems like a very pointless choice to me. How would a 55 Angilas being designed differently enough to justify this? Even Japanese toy producers have never done a dedicated 1957 Angilas.

My best guess is that one would be coloured and the other would be greyscale.

Despite the fact that, even if The Volcano Monsters had been made, neither version of Angilas would have been seen in color. But if he says they're doing it I guess they're doing it. Weird, but okay.

That hasn't stopped others from making colorized versions of those suits

I could see Anguirus 55 as being coloured and part of a regular wave, while the 57 would be greyscale and offered as an exclusive at some point, as to not take up a regular slot.

Maybe it will be Anguirus as he appeared on the baseball team patch in the 1957 Toho film "Tokyo toitoko" :lol: : Image

Jokes aside, my money's on a variant or exclusive of some sort. I'm not sure how many differences there were between the 1955 suit and the 1957 (if any?). Some accounts seem to say a new suit was made, similar to the Godzilla, and others say it was the same one and only patched up a bit.

Angurius 57 to my knowledge had a derpy face compared to 55.

I'll do you one better: a ReAction remake of the entire Godzilla vs Tricephalon playset with mini buildings and vehicles.

And it will only cost the same amount as your bi-weekly paycheck!

I feel like some people have their expectation phasers set on "insane". Lol

I didn't say I'd buy it. But it would be cool if they did it.

Yeah but we're talking about a company that is actively trying to get the rights figured out to do merch for Godzilla vs Barkley

Given that I just got a winged mini-gorilla called "Wing Kong" in the mail from them, along with figures of a glow-in-the-dark Jet Jaguar and Alfred Hitchcock, I don't think 'insane' is that unlikely.
