Kids watched Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack last night as a stay up late special. They were surprised to see Godzilla as a evil monster instead of a "friendly" one. So the daughter was disappointed but the boy really enjoyed the flick. I admit, watching this one again really got me excited again for next years Godzilla movie. A nasty force of nature that leaves a radioactive wasteland in it wake.. I can't wait!

holy crap

They announced a new SHMA figure (they showed the prototype before) and it weighs in at $240!

Biollante

Though not a personal favorite it is one I wouldn't mind displaying as it looks freakishly awesome. This comes with a first for the SHMA line and that is electronics. Thankfully its not a speaker of some other annoying bit but the chest piece color fluctuates from yellow to red enabled by a simple switch. Not a fan but I'm sure some out there will go crazy about it. Would be nice if there was a non electronic one out there to reduce cost

damn thing is a foot tall

a huge fan of the SHMA line but this one breaks the $$$$$.$$ barrier.

Had to share

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHH

SDCC is revealing the new design of the Godzilla 2014 film by Legendary... and I have never been so frantic in my web searching. If I was a "fanboy" of anything it has to be Godzilla... but my fears of just what they are going to do to it weigh heavily... 1998 anyone?

So here I am babbling because no one else wants to hear it so where better than in a thread no one reads! Hide my shame!

Thanks for posting the pics! I've already seen them but.. I loves me some eye candy :)

They still have the "official" statue under wraps as I understand it but its supposed to look a great deal like everything posted above... combined. Take a look at the one poster and then the tail on the statue combine it and I'd be one happy camper! I like the crocodilian look of the bust and the relocated nostrils (from tip of snout to further up).

Regardless a "what would it really be like to have a giant nuclear reactor walking around" is going to be one hell of a movie.

He put on a few pounds, must be eating for chinese food!

you think so? I thought it looked leaner (more muscular), at least to the Heisei Godzilla designs like this one (1992)



That bust is really growing on me, damn I like it!

(damn it, unintentional Eddieism)

Behind a camera watching you!

When I see this Godzilla I picture the plot revolving around an aging Godzilla walking into The city for some fast food, while slowly diying of colesterol. Spoiler alert: After Godzilla finally has a heart attack, his children ravish the city to start the cycle all over again.

Random Gojira crap!

After taking the time to wander over to the Godzilla booth and snapping photos' and taking the time to post the pics I'll forgive that "Gojira crap" comment.. but just this one time!

Oh my ever-loving...Godzilla. That first statue is AMAZING!

Seriously though, thank you sir! :salute: You made my day!

Oh God, not another toyline for me to lust over.

What the franchise needs is articulated affordable figures, the SH MonsterArts line is amazing but at $60 and up a piece is far too niche to really appeal to anyone but the hardcore fan. That's a shame since the pieces are extremely well done.
With Bandai doing the line for the 2014 I hope to see just that, affordable attractively crafted pieces (i.e.. shit I can play with)

Akunins boner incoming! :D

Did you see that big ass Godzilla statue in NSA's first pic???
Boner?
Damn straight! :thumbsup:

Thought I would throw this one out there too



Thanks for everyone who posted!

I had to go to my son's AA baseball tournament during the SDCC and I didn't have a reliable wifi signal (KOA... I'm looking at you) and in my feeble efforts of trying to absorb as much as I could about the SDCC through my phone before it died (forgot the phone charger) I didn't get to see/find much so you guys really brought me up on what was a hell of a weekend. Thank you gentlemen!

if that were his size in relation to an aircraft carrier he would be over 400 meters tall...

Which would be awesome! :)

as for Shipwreck he's probably hiding in the galley sucking on his thumb ;)

I'm definitely digging how massive they are portraying him...now all we need is a Gozilla/Pacific Rim crossover :)

Though Godzilla and Ultraman crossover would be cool too

DelToro has said a Godzilla/P Rim crossover would be epic, unlikely though.

Aside from how Godzilla looks in 2014 we still don't know how big he's going to be. The largest he ever was, was 100 meters and if we went by poster size he would be about 300 - 400 meters high which puts him as big as the largest monsters in Pacific Rim.

So how big is too big? Godzilla 1954 was about 50 meters, Godzilla 2000 was about 80 meters tall and 92' Godzilla was 100 meters, but with movies like Cloverfield and Pacific Rim that runs a bit small these days.
