I think Playmates needs a refresher on the meaning of "giant", and why did they have to photoshop the toys into the kids hands? Couldn't they just take pics of the kids playing with them?

Playmates can take their entire Godzilla license and shove it up their ass. I don't understand why Toho decided to work with a company that produces toys that make bootlegs facepalm in embarassment.

I liked the Skull Island figures a lot more than these but they're not 100% terrible. I dig the battle damage Kong a lot. Plus they look way better than their TMNT lines. How have they been doing those for over 30 years and they still don't look as good as these?
EDIT: Speaking of battle damage, I asked a Playmates rep eons ago why there were no battle damage turtles since there hundreds of toy lines with that very concept. I even pointed out that I wasn't looking for missing chunks of flesh like Kong here or the Jurassic Park lines, just maybe some bandages on the turtles, broken foot-bots or a Terminator-esque damaged Ch'rell Saki, or even just like Casey with a cracked mask and rips in his shirt. I was told they couldn't do it because it was "for children". When I pointed out that (the currently running show at the time, 2003) had Leo get five ways to fucked up a couple of times (not in so many words) more than once and the Foot and Ch'rell examples were directly from the shows they're selling toys on (Foot actually from the previous, MORE kid-friendly show), I got no response.

Been looking forward to these. I love the FUN factor. These lines are almost always met with negative feedback. He specifically said these are geared to a younger audience. Mabey a collector company will get the licence. I hope it does well.

We should be seeing SH MonsterArts from the film. Not sure what all they have planned, but I imagine at least Godzilla and Kong (at least I hope).

I like these for what they are; kids toys. There's nothing better or worse than what Jakks Pacific or Lanard did with their figures.
Perhaps for collectors, some other company will produce ginormous, photo-realistic, hyper-detailed figures licensed by Toho. These, however, are licensed by Warner Brothers & Legendary since it is their movie property. If this quality of toys came out when King Kong vs Godzilla was released in 1963, we'd all have been thrilled to death and had these on our X-Mas list. I'm hoping they'll throw in some 4" "scene" playsets with miniature buildings, etc.n like Bandai & Jakks did for G & GKOTM. But that's just me. |

The thing is the movie itself has been pushed back to May 2021 because of Covid. I'm sure NECA will do figures for this later on.

They've been asked before and apparently they didn't/couldn't get the license for Godzilla vs Kong. In fact it seems that Toho is pulling the Godzilla license from them altogether.

So are these actually taken from the movie i.e. Kong gets an axe/hammer etc? The scene of them clashing on what looks like a carrier is pretty cool. Wish they’d drop a trailer !
I liked the last Godzilla movies, though I feel they need to drop it with the Godzilla chanting theme song, and stuff like monsters kneeling to him kinda deal. That was a tad too cheesy! |

They've previously said they didn't get the license for this film. Come August, their Godzilla line is on hold indefinitely (and may not return if their license runs out and isn't renewed) as Toho and Legendary only want Godzilla vs Kong merchandise on the shelves for the movies marketing period.

Nope. NECA can no longer sell Godzilla merchandise as of Sept 1st due to what is essentially an "embargo period" due to that being when Godzilla vs King Kong merchandise kicks off. With the movie being pushed back until May, Playmates' exclusive embargo period does not end until 2022, and apparently NECA's Godzilla license ends next summer.

I have the 24" long electronic Godzilla by NECA. Since 2014, there has been NOTHING on the domestic market to make me want to add to it. To be honest, I am surprised that Playmates is even still in business. Especially after Star Trek (2009).

And they're piss poor excuse for a Voltron toyline that would make even Mattel laugh.

I can't speak for the 84 Voltron, but the human figures were atrocious looking. Not only couldn't they be bothered to release the entire main cast, but I've seen bootlegs with better paint quality.
