If we do get a Gigan, which do you think it'll be first? Showa Green or the more current Black?

Showa Green. He's more iconic.

What about Anguruis?

[Megabattimus]

Forgot about him. He'd probably get one as well.

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.

Sorry, I meant the island trilogy, not the Minilla trilogy. I hated those. Almost as bad as I hate Megalon and Hedorah. Ghidorah TTHM is probably my favorite of the entire Showa era because it was able to give us great monster battles mixed with an excellent human story, and normally, I just write off the human story 90% of the time. That's really why I felt like everything beyond that was lacking in the Showa era. Yeah, you could say the Heisei movies did not have the best human stories either, but they had complete continuity to them.

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.

I won't argue that for Mothra and Ghidorah, as I do think the Showa designs for better for their premier, but there was a huge difference with the others. Yeah, Moguera could go either way, but SpaceGodzilla and Destoroyah were awesome looking. It's just a shame that the SpaceGodzilla movie was utter crap.

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.

They may have been a lot of beam battles, but they were kept more grounded in reality. You did not see Godzilla using his breath to fly. He was not jumping up and down like an idiot when he beat Ghidorah. He was not doing jump kicks, suplexes, and the like as he did in the later Showa movies. Plus, Rodan did not have something that looked like a clothes pin stuck to his beak in every other shot.

If you are not interested in buying a Monsterarts of G'64, don't worry. It'll sell out fast enough.

That's cool. Yeah, I want the versions from 54, 89, and GMK.

Ah.
I personally want the Millennium Black. Not because I care about the color.
But because of one design detail.

Dat collar

Anguirus? Really? I wouldn't call him iconic, being entirely absent from the films for a 30 year gap until Final Wars...

I don't know. He seemed like a prominent early character when I marathon'd the Cinemassacre Monster Madness Godzillathon. I also always liked him from the games.

[Megabattimus]

I wouldn't be opposed to a Millennium Gigan, but I feel like that's something they'd do after a Millennium Goji, because they way they're going with the line is that they're doing the main Goji from the series first, then doing the monsters; so we'll probably have Showa for a little bit after '64 Goji gets released.

As for Angurius, he'd probably get made because he's a Goji ally; like Baragon.

Final Wars Gigan is blue. A very dark blue that also looks black half the time in Final Wars, yes, but blue.

The more interesting question would be whether a SHMA Showa Gigan would be blue or green. Both colors are frequently represented, not helped by the fact that the two suit variations are an indistinguishable mix of the two 90% of the time.

Ahh.
Outside of Godzilla Raids Again and Final Wars, I couldn't name any other film appearances of Anguirus (He was in Vs. Gigan, too, but I remembered because it was mentioned in the source of where I grabbed that Gigan pic )
His appearance in the games is probably a big factor in his notability, though.

I understand. And I guess with the release of Destroyah they have conquered all the Heisei monsters outside Biollante, Battra, and Mothra (I can't think of any other Heisei era monster that doesn't have a figure).

Since they are in Showa now, I wonder if we'll see an Ebirah.

Could've fooled me. I legitimately thought Millennium Gigan was black.
