Did he have red lipstick in the film?
Kidding aside, this doesn't look as off-model as some of their other entries in this line (at least to my untrained eyes). Maybe they're getting better at their attention to detail when it comes to this line? |

It looks pretty good. I like how thick the tail is and the way the skin looks is well done. I hope they final product looks as good as that prototype.
Hopefully they have a Kong to go with that Godzilla.

Doesn't look 100% spot on but few figures do, plus this is an affordable way to get a good showa era Godzilla and not have to mess with the expensive Monsterarts stuff. My only gripe about this is that NECA is only doing Godzilla, I'd easily buy Mothra or King Ghidorah or any of the other Kaiju, even if they're not exactly in scale or pricier. I'll be getting this.

Yeah, NECA is now dealing with Toho directly instead of having to talk to WB, who would then report back to Toho, who would answer WB, who would then relay that answer back to NECA. lol
Because they are dealing with Toho direclty now, they have full access to their entire catalog including artwork.

Man this is good news, didn't know NECA is finally working directly with Toho, now I'm really freakin stoked for whatever comes next, even just random repaints and variants.

I'd be a bit more excited about that if their Godzilla line was a little more film accurate. In terms of screen-to-figure transitioning it's easily their weakest line.
That being said I'd really love to get a King Kong in the $20 price range. |

Also, Rodan is my favorite kaiju, so I'd love a figure based on the classic look. |

They said they are fixing that. Now with working directly to Toho they have artwork for every Godzilla costume, they have easy access to movie footage to use for camera angles, etc.

I’m pretty darn excited about this. I would expect to see this at TRU, but obviously not any more. Are there any other brick and mortar stores that would carry this?

Target. Every store I've seen pics of online with the NECA section already set up are decently stocked on the current slate of Godzilla figures so they should be getting this whenever it releases.

Awesome, thanks! I assume the NECA section is back behind electronics or movies along that back wall?

Correct. Most have it sandwiched between Stranger Things and Funko stuff in the entertainment area.

I can't wait to get this.
This was my favorite version of Godzilla when I was a kid. I had no idea NECA had access to more than just Godzilla now. I'm super excited for more kaiju. As goofy as Toho Kong is, I hope that NECA releases one. |

Been collecting Godzilla figures my whole life and this thing is fantastic. The sculpt, paint, articulation, and even breath effect look great. Especially at this price point. It may not be the spot-on match of the Tamashii figures, but damn is it close.
Fingers crossed for more Showa era monsters. Would be sweet to get a Showa Ghidorah and Rodan. Would also love to see my personal favorite Godzilla suit (1968) |

So, this new deal between NECA and Toho means we might get a Hedorah figure one day? If so, my girlfriend's gonna flip, as the ol' Smog Monster is her favorite.
