I'm not surprised to see '64 over '54... '64 is very popular suit design from highest regarded color film of the era.

Were getting Godzilla '64!?!!?!? Holy. Crap. Its nice that Tamashii is showing some Showa love for Godzilla. I havent picked up any Heisei or current Tamshii Godzilla releases, since, this year, Im spending money on PR. I only have 9 Godzilla figures and 4 megazords.

Was it? Huh. I thought that suit was used a lot more than that.

Again, I don't hate the Showa era, but the movies became hit or miss after Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster. Monster Zero was a weak follow up and started the annoying alien subplots. Then we went to three horrific movies with Minilla. Thankfully, they gave us Destroy All Monsters, but then it went right back in the dumps until Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, especially with Megalong and Hedorah, which are two of the worst movies in the entire franchise.
After Monster Zero, we get Sea Monster. No Minya, no aliens. Then comes Son of Godzilla, which has Minya, but no aliens. Then comes Destroy All Monsters, which has Minya, and aliens. Next is Godzilla's Revenge/All Monsters Attack, which has Minya but no aliens. So three movies with Minya, which you call horrific, when really only one of them is poor (Revenge). One is sort of low key and one of them is the one you are "thankful" for. Quote:
I find the monster suits to be superior, as they don't look like they are going to fall apart at any given moment, the monsters do not perform gymnastics, the effects are a lot more flash thanks to the amount of night time battles, and the music rocks.
The budgets were much higher, of course the suits and effects will be better. Monster gymnastics, I think you may be thinking of Gamera vs Guiron. The fights have plenty of "flash" but many lack any real heart. A lot of beam battles, mostly. If you are not interested in buying a Monsterarts of G'64, don't worry. It'll sell out fast enough.

Meh, "eyebrows" Godzilla isn't exactly one of my Faves. Would have loved 62 since its my all time favorite with 54 & 68 being tied at 2nd.

I think you need to re-examine your Showa timeline.

One is sort of low key and one of them is the one you are "thankful" for. The suits may have been better constructed but save Biollante none of the designs are relatively "better" for the new monsters. Battra's not exactly groundbreaking, MOGUERA and Spacegodzilla aren't really all that original, and Destroroyah is purposefully based on other, non-Toho monsters. The budgets were much higher, of course the suits and effects will be better. Monster gymnastics, I think you may be thinking of Gamera vs Guiron. The fights have plenty of "flash" but many lack any real heart. A lot of beam battles, mostly. If you are not interested in buying a Monsterarts of G'64, don't worry. It'll sell out fast enough.

Godzilla
Mecha Godzilla Gigan King Ceasar That last one is a long shot but those are the biggest on my want list for this era. Although I want to see how they handle Anguirus. If they will make him crawl on his hind legs or take "liberty" with the mold and make him a proper quadruped monster.

I feel like we're definitely gonna get Mothra, Baragon, Rodan, King G, Gigan, Mecha G and Minya. Everything else feels like a long shot, to me anyway.
