How is this even supposed to work if Kong is like half Godzilla's size?
4 hours ago, Mr_Scary92 said:Some images of the upcoming GvsK have surfaced.
The 11" figures were available on Walmart.
Personally the 6" Battle Damage are the only ones I might pick, but no there's no much info about them right now
That Kong looks terrific ? they nail the details and meanest...
I guess they look cool for the kids, not so much me, look to cheap, but I mean they arn't suppose to be collectors pieces, I do like that the Kong looks fairly articulated, godzilla not so much
From the early shots and designs, the figures look far better than what Jakks Pacific put out for KotM. I know those figures were meant for kids, but they were horrible in play quality as well. My kids are into Godzilla too and bought a few of the Jakks KotM figures. In addition to having limited paint apps, the plastic wassoft and breaks easy. Poor quality for items intended for play. For my kids, I hope thatthePlaymates GvK line followswhat theyve put out so far in terms of durability. As for me, I hope that NECA gets some of the GvK rights to put out affordable collectible options.
I still dont get why the so called Mechagodzilla looks more like a skeleton than a robot?
Battle damaged Godzilla and Kong? Now that's interesting, it kinda catches my curiosity to see how these figures go
I have been hype for this movie since 2014, and everybody wants to jump on that train now? Pff

I assume these are being release now to hold the shelf space for when it gets closer to the Kong Vs Godzilla movie release and hopefully Playmates will have something to differentiate it from the Bandai stuff.
A few others have shared your theory that Playmates is using the Bandai figures and the other poor quality figures in attempt to fulfill their Godzilla toy lineobligation to Walmart. Godzilla vs Kong was originally scheduled for a March release and was pushed back to November. This may have screwed up Playmates previousplans and now theyre scrambling to provide Godzilla figures while not revealing the GvK figures. That would explain why theyre reusing the Bandai figures,why the new onesare poorer in quality, and why Kongis one of the better ones in the bunch.
A video review (https://youtu.be/QV42q-IZhvQ)confirmed that a feware the sameBandai figures with a black Playmates stamp over the Bandai imprint on the foot. Pics below. This gives me hope that the laterfigures have a much better chance at being better overall.
The YouTube channelGeek Chest recently released a video potentially identifying the Playmates Godzilla series lineup. They stated theirsource has been reliable in the past but nothing was confirmed at the time of the video. Pics and link below.
