As Randy has said many times, the deal doesn't allow for any monsters that aren't Godzilla. This leads to two speculations: either NECA didn't bring enough money to the table for any additional monsters or Toho wasn't even offering the other monsters as some kind of loyalty to the Japanese company already making Godzilla toys.
Interesting theory you have, and it sounds like it holds water. Although an American company conceivably wouldn't take much in the way of market share away from Japanese companies like Bandai, since NECA's stuff would be sold primarily in the States. Toho is obviously chock o' fishy dudes.

Actually in a Tweet the other day Randy said we will be getting more Godzilla toys, very highly likely that there will be repaints, but as before they're waiting on Toho to approve. They can't even tease an upcoming Godzilla without permission first. It's similar, but not as bad as, what's going on with them and Valve right now. They have the rest of the Team Fortress 2 figures ready to go but until Valve gives the okay the line is in limbo.
Wow, what reason would Valve have to put the kibosh on the Team Fortress 2 figures? Wouldn't only NECA be out the dough if they didn't sell? What possible harm could it cause Valve to release them? It's not like the figures were crap, they were excellent representations of the characters in the game.

The Bioshock Handyman pieces were around as well.
Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to set up a NECA tour of my own in the near future, so hopefully I'll see some of these mystery pieces for myself.
