Can someone confirm for me, is the NECA model the one most closely resembling the actual look of Godzilla 2014 out of all the toys we know so far? The JAKKS 3ft model is the biggest, but the spikes/fins on JAKKS's Godzilla look a bit too small compared to the NECA model. 

you're not alone i like it too, i mean sure it didn't look like godzilla, it didn't shoot fire, over all i thought it was fun to watch 7.5/10

I'm lovin' the NECA's!

Loving this merchandise. Is this all that will be released or will they do clothing and things later?

I really wanted to like this film. I waited for it for years. I was there on opening day with such high aspirations. But when it was done, I left confused and put off. For a time, I tried to convice myself that I kinda liked it. But honestly, I don't. In fact, not even close. I find no redeaming qualities in it and it's borderline insulting.

Now, I can see how if this was your first Godzilla movie, and you have no frame of reference, you might like it because you had no pre-concieved notion as to what Godzilla should be. But I saw the '98 Godzilla when I was in my twenties, and had a fully formed opinion of Godzilla based on the most beloved movies of my childhood. If you are young, you can't understand that. If you're older and liked it for whatever reason, then okay, to each their own.

It's been on cable lately, so I thought it might be fun to watch with my kids. It wasn't. Honestly, I can't even sit through it, for all the same reasons that have been debated for years.

Don't give me a veggieburger and try to tell me what a great hamburger it is.

Idk, something looks "off" about him but I can't really tell what it is

The movie wasn't bad, the title was what was wrong with it.

If you go on Toys R Us.com they have these

Srry repost.

First off, THESE ARE COOL! All are great, especially the NECA American Godzilla figures! Last night I found the following *possible* Godzilla merchandise, now I say possible because the site I found them the person neglected to say where he found them... though they look legit.

HOLY SH**!!! I want this 24inch NECA Godzilla and the chibis!!! *O*

I think people need to understand just how much work went into creating the miniatures and the suits.  Those suit actors passed out on the regular from the weight and the heat.  The miniatures were painstaking recreations of real locations right down to the billboards. If you look at the films from the nineties and early oughts, the SPFX work is fantastic.  They paid real attention to scale and the computer compositing is excellent. The mechanisms they put into the creature's features were also very advanced.

It's easy to look at those movies and go, "Yeah, that's a toy boat," but appreciating how far they pushed a $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 budget on those movies to do what was considered impossible when the first film was made is to recognize a real cinematic achievement.

Hmmmm. 

Any word on when you will be able to pre-order the Sideshow statue? It's going to be hard to save my money and bypass the rest, hopefully it will be worth it.

Wow that looks really good @KingZilla. Good job. Now I can get an idea of what the 24" Godzilla will look like. Thx

Thank you and how festive to have an Irish (in the film) monster.

OK I just painted the NECA 24" figure in Photoshop, here's my version of the final render what you think?

@Evan123

Not even sure Sidedhow has finished their sculpts yet? Unless someone knows for sure they have-- I'm going to assume we haven't seen them yet because they aren't finished with them. 

@Gman

Even though I agree with you completely-- I still stand by my opinion that most 'fan visions' of what Godzilla is-- are even further away from what Godzilla is/was than this film. At Godzilla's core, his very fundamental truth-- it is still a monster flick, regardless of whatever deep bs meaning people use to justify their fandom. I feel like too many fans try to 'dig deep with a toy shovel'. 

But honestly, as far as Emmerich and Delvin's works go, its one of their better films. I find pretty much all their movies to be so painfully formula its disgusting.

Smart guy: Something bad is about to happen everybody! LISTEN!

Everybody: lol u don't know what you talk about smart guy

Bad thing happens.

Everybody: SAVE US SMART GUY!

Smart guy: lol told you so.

That is literally, 90 percent of everything they've worked on together or seperately. 

Yay....and thanks. Sorry for the ignorance and happy st.Patricks day ðŸ€ðŸ€

This is all surprising, good on all of you for letting everyone know your real opinion. I'm a fan of the 1998 version also as this was my introduction to godzilla and the only one I saw for the first 6 years of my life (I'm 14).granted the creature did not resemble godzilla at all but the more agile and lean design was quite cool. I don't know...It just doesn't  deserve all the hate it gets but they are people's opinions so I respect them, they are entitled to them etc etc. thanks for reading...and happy st.patricks day ðŸ€ðŸ€ðŸ€ðŸ€

@EVAN123 Nothing is under lock anymore, the embargo is gone! From here on out, any Godzilla merch that remain unseen/hidden are the merchandising company's decision and not because Warner Bros. want Godzilla's stuff to be kept a secret. So if the Sideshow sculpts don't show for a while it's Sideshow's personal decision; I believe that's how it works now.

But yes, there'll be plenty more stuff to come; no more secrets

Thanks....are they going to show sideshow sculpts or anything more soon or will they be under lock and key until later. Just so curious sorry

@EVAN123 But of course! This thread is for everything Godzilla 2014 merchandising from here to the end of time! Find something, wanna show us your review, etc. do it here! And remember merchandising accounts for everything from T-shirts, to key chains, to backpacks. etc. ;)

Thanks Gojira89, one of the mods just recently reminded me to add it to the main post.

Is there more to come still?

I feel like this topic has been done to death. But the short answer is yes, it is really that bad. As a Godzilla film it's unrecognizable. As a Hollywood blockbuster it's a bottom feeder. There are so many incoherent elements that don't work to create anything unique or outstanding, but clash to make something visually boring and cinematically forgettable.

Even if there are technically "worse" films in the Godzilla series, (which if there are, it's a very short list) those films at least have more cinematic merit for their unique styles, strong directorial visions and persistant resourcefulness-- all of which are attributes that are completely absent in this movie.

KAIJUJIRA i know i just cant wait for it! its gonna be too epic

Yeah the 24inch Neca toy looks pretty sweet, can't wait to see its final painted form.

those neca toys look AMAZING, I am gonna get the 24 inch. I want to see what it looks like painted though.

MGZILLA it is in Production still.

The NECA figure looks incredible. It's going to look great next to the 1994 NECA.
