Hot wheels Godzilla thread

Post by darthzilla99 »

Well Godzilla is now a hot wheel.

Here comes the comments about Toho turning Godzilla into a brand instead of a character.

I'm apathetic. It's there. People who like hot wheels can get it.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

When it comes to Godzilla cars, sorry Hot Wheels; nobody can beat Tomica's work of art:

No arguments there. Also their Mothra larvae was a good car as well.

He's been a brand for 68 years, it's alright.

I was being sarcastic about how a few fans complain about modern Toho's heavy merchandise emphasis.
