Not to mention it doesn't actually lock into the socket, so if you bend it too far, it just slides out, very annoying. Nevertheless, this is just down right amazing and NECA needs to show off their next toy asap! Third time really was the charm for them when it came to the Jp Godzillas because they nailed him out of the park.

Lucky, my TRU has given NECA the boot and pushed all of their stuff onto one end aisle piece in the back of the store which it shares with anything Mezco and Funko's legacy line, so my store isn't getting much of anything new from NECA for a while until they move it again.

Well they are making it look like it did in the film, not the costume, so technically the tongue being that color fits the overall black and white color scheme. They could eventually repaint this later in the actual costume colors which was supposedly some kind of brown and then the tongue would be red or some other flesh color. The tail is a bit shorter than the costume's but since we barely see his tail in the first film anyway it's not a big deal, to me anyway.

Randy has said a couple of times now on Twitter that they have two (this number might be wrong I don't know for sure) more figures sculpted and at prototype-ish level but Toho needs to clear them before they can show any teases or advance the figure making process.
