"Blatant" feels like a strong word here, makes it sound like there's not even a passing resemblance. I personally do think that price is a part of consideration for my toys and can justify some shortcomings, $20 now is what gets a 6" Hasbro figure (Marvel or SW) and those are significantly less than this on the accuracy scale. I would go on to say that $20 here is also to be acknowledged since the only other line to compare it to is SH which run at $60 and up. The SH figures are more accurate and have whatever accessories they come with, but they cost three times as much so I do think that a lot of people would like to consider a little less accurate for a good deal cheaper. The less a toy costs the less I expect from it. A more die hard Gojira fan would be willing to drop upwards of $60 on a good toy of the king of Kaiju, whereas other more casual fans do prefer the more affordable option. Though SH is apparently secure in being the only option for Godzilla's enemy monsters since Toho won't grant those to NECA at all (which sucks since $120 for a King Ghidorah is way too much).
