I picked him up expecting to pay at least $50 for it, so for the thirty-three bucks I paid he is definitely worth it. He's made of the softer type of plastic that you can kind of squish with your hand, just like an old Godzilla toy I used to have when I was five. The paint apps are pretty simplistic but he looks okay. It doesn't feel fragile at all to me (aside from the squishiness, which I don't personally mind) and I doubt he'll fall apart. Hell, I think he'd be perfectly fine even if I hurled him down the stairs - it's not like there's even that much paint that could possibly be scratched off!

I will say that there are some needless cutouts near his crotch as if a speaker would be mounted inside, but there aren't any sound effects. If I was going to make any modifications to it, it'd be to fill those in and then paint the fins on his back a nice dark grey or even maybe a silver. Don't think I'll be doing any of that, though, 'cause he looks good enough as-is.

He takes up a lot of space, though. My Transformers collection is currently displaced because Godzilla takes up the whole top of my 3-shelf bookcase on his own. I also can't help but think about getting one of those 18" Pacific Rim Jaegers to display him with...

EDIT:
Got some stuff straightened out, threw together a quick little display using a Transformer and some of those little Heroics/Zerboz soldiers Walmart clearanced out a while back.
