Title: Playmates "Monsterverse" Line.
Post by: The Spectre on January 08, 2020, 07:56:03 PM
Upcoming "Godzilla Vs. Kong" offerings. Not sure how big each different series is at the moment as there is nothing to scale against.

This pic is from Hong Kong Toy Fair and, unfortunately, is out of focus. Hopefully, we will see clear pcs from the US Toy Fair next month.

Interesting skeletal godzilla. Looks like a cross between godzilla and that bone creature Kong fought in his movie. Its gonna be good! On the front page.

"Godzilla Vs. Kong" figures spotted at Walmart!

Small ones are $9.87 and giant ones are $19.87.

They had everything in the first wave except for the Warbat (probably 1 per case and someone grabbed already).

Nice Dan. I can see you are out and about. I just posted on your other dino find. I will post on this too.

Makes me wonder if we can get a new movie release. I am so wanting to see this new movie.

New "Godzilla Vs. Kong" figures are out!

There are also transparent/neon repaints of Godzilla and Kong to simulate the neon skyline battle in the film.

I am really unhappy with the Warbat. I am returning the second, unopened one. The wings don't align with the parts sculpted onto the body or with the twisty shape of the neck :(

Shared your news on the front page. I thought the line looked pretty bad; especially that Mecha Godzilla. Sorry about the Warbat.

The deluxe electronic "Battle Roar" "Godzilla Vs. Kong" figures are out.

These were spotted at Walmart in Saddle Brook, NJ.

Dan, I am glad it is letting you post to our FB Page. I can't seem to get into it! On the front page.

Looks like there is a new "Monsterverse" line, but they only had the one figure on the shelf and there was no cross-sell info on the back so no idea what other Titans are in the line as of yet.

I found some more images of the "Monsterverse" line. It looks to be almost entirely made up of repackaged (possibly redeco'd) "Godzilla Vs. Kong" figures save for one new sculpt apiece for Godzilla, Kong (seen in person today) and Ghidorah.

There is a playset as well.

Off to share.

4" "Godzilla Vs. Kong" figures at Five Below.

They have basic articulation (shoulders, hips, tails on Big G and Mecha G, waist on Kong) and very basic paint jobs. Kong looks terrible. Mechagodzilla suffers from very soft sculpted details, especially on the torso, which is a shame as I do not have any Mecha G's of this design. Godzilla fares the best but has oversized blue paint blobs over where his eyes are, but that is easily fixed.

They are from Playmates Toys and are $5 each.

The new "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" toys are supposed to hit on January 1st, but are popping up at Walmarts across the south already.

I like this one. Depending on how it looks in person, I may grab it.

The new "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" figures have begun hitting ahead of their street date.

I found these at Target after work today!

It will be interesting to hear your take on these figures.

It will be interesting to hear your take on these figures.

For the $24.99 price, they are excellent.

There are some downsides, like Godzilla's clear pink backplate, and the fact that there is a gap in the back plates where the tail attaches to the body, but those are minor quibbles.

Playmates upcoming 3.5" "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" figures!

Only these 2 revealed so far, but I expect Kong and Skar King to be released as well.

I expect these to show up at Five Below like the 3.5" figures for the last film did.
