Not too bad looking. Still going to pass in favor of the MonsterArts though.

More accurately, there are two NECA Godzilla figures revealed today: http://news.toyark.com/2014/03/17/fi...es-neca-121426
The painted one is the smaller of the two, the one you'll see for $18 that will be around 7" tall and 12" long, and the larger is an unpainted resin version of the 12" tall, 24" long figure for $49.99. Can't and won't make an opinion on either figure until someone is actually using the final product in pics. The Pacific Rim line has sadly taught me too well about keeping expectations in check. Via Twitter, it was also mentioned that the delayed Godzilla 1985 figure would be seen sometime before SDCC but with no clear timeframe of when.

It looks like the best toy of the new Godzilla we've seen, but it doesn't feel like a collector's item to me.
And seeing all the Pacific Rim flak doesn't give me hopes that it'll stay together well enough to be a toy even...

So I see accurate analyisis of the Pacific Rim line has fallen to the wayside in favour of hyperbole?
Sweet job, internet. You guys are awesome. The PR figures generally hold together fine. Only one figure has chronic breaking problems. Others have the odd quality issue, but it's not rampant. The problem is, the first two waves of PR sucked utter shit simply because they were terrible toys by deisgn. |

And so might the Godzilla figures. At least that's as much as I was inferring.

Does Playskool know they were ripped off?

I'll wait until the MA comes out, and even then, it will depend on if I like the movie or not.

See Pacific Rim, being new and untested, was originally gonna be excusive to Wal-Mart. So teh figures were made cheaper. But Wally world backed out at the last minute, so hasty redesigns and up-scaling were needed. Thus, the drop in quality. No way those circumstances could apply to Godzilla. Oh yeah, because this TOTALLY looks playskool. Playskool AWLAYS has high-quality sculpts and that level of articulation. Jesus, this forum. What compells it to such lows, I will never understand. |
