If you like the Showa movies, definitely check out Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and Godzilla Tokyo SOS as they are very close to the Showa era in tone and execution.



The thing is, I don't see why they would need to go on hiatus this year now given GvsK got pushed back until next year. If they still have to go on hiatus, that means they can't release anything until the beginning of 2022, which is so fucking retarded.

It takes 9 to 12 months to go from concept to production. That's when there's not a lot of changes needed when the concept is presented to the licensor. The hiatus was planned at least in 2019, as we knew then they didn't get the Kong vs Godzilla license then. We've seen the final 2 releases before the hiatus was supposed to go into effect.

The movie just got pushed back. That means they'd now have to find a way to restart production. That's allocating resources that are already working on other projects, finding spaces for them on the factory lines that are likely already producing scheduled items. And that's all assuming that new items would get the green light while they wait for the new movie.

The first assortment of Playmates toys are already done (it's been leaked as far back as November), and ready to go. That first assortment is likely going to hit soon after the trailer drops, with the more spoilery toys hitting when the film is about to release.
