Seriously, what an absolute waste. I have no idea what NECA was thinking, other than the fact that they seem to love killing off lines by getting a license and then milking one character over and over until all interest is gone and then saying "gee, we were GONNA make all those other characters, but the retail support just isn't there!"

I love those two movies. They're both really well-done, and they contain my favorite-ever Mechagodzilla design. When I can bear to part with the fortune it will take, I'd like to buy one of Bandai's SH Monsterarts Kiryu figures. Those things are beautiful.
