I wouldn't risk it. Never trust a site that has bad reviews. Buy the toys when they are officially released too, don't preorder them. You could buy the toys from trusted sites like Amazon. It's really not worth the risk.

Well, there´s some info about the Neca figures that will be one of about 12" tall, moving parts and sounds, and  for these features I will take this one over the Bandai figure because the second one be will be pretty expensive for its size.

2000 was great, megaguirus had awesome ideas but uninvolving charcters, gmk was great, I thought the two Kiryu movies were AWFUL, and despite the hate for the film enjoyed final wars. 4 of 6 films were good to me. I still stand by Hesei being my least favorite even though the first two films were amazing.

@Doggiezilla & Dinoboy22, you guys both have a point there.

green space monkeys, secret agents, ancient prophecies, even a musical number , mechagodzilla 74 all the way

ok

@CANOSGROWL Don't get me wrong I really want to see the next trailer too. I'm just not willing to obsess over it every waking second of the day. It's not healthy. 

Godzilla Final Wars, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974)

Too true, we need to chillsies a bit. I wonder how much my blood pressure and adrenaline output have spiked this year just waiting for this film. This is a movie experience that comes along only a few times in a lifetime, it's a little screwy it's just around the corner. An international Godzilla with a huge budget, an amazing cast and a director the fans really trust. A second trailer is inexorable, legendary isn't trying to have an embargo over their ads. The studio probably just wanted to wade through the super bowl and olympic period, think about how refreshing the trailer will be after watching spider-man, robocop and cap trailers for weeks on end without pause. Or just don't watch it at all like you say, we have been waiting 15 years to see a big studio Godzilla not the trailer. 

Go for the SHMA G2K, it's not actually a figure of the movie suit but a concept piece making it quite a special G. Besides, Save the Earth is a romp on first play, but in terms of replay value...the vague fighting system and ancient physics engine make it a controller-throwing frustration fest. 

I would go with Godzilla vs. King Kong, or Godzilla vs. The Thing. I love both of those movies. Don't go with Gojira, Godzilla Returns, or Godzilla vs. Biollante, while great movies, they are too serious in tone for a bad day.

Godzilla Vs Mothra. It's fun, lighthearted and visually entertaining, perfect for any occasion! (Especially if you're having a rough day!)

I'm going to throw my hat in, because you know, why not. 

I agree with most of the OP's points. I liked G2000, it's actually one of my favorites, and I haven't liked any of the mellenium movie I've watched since then (still have not seen all of S.O.S). 

Final Wars, to me, is a desaster of a movie on par with SpaceGodzilla, and Godzilla's Revenge. It felt more like a (bad) episode of Power Rangers than an actual Godzilla movie. The special effects went downhill from the rest of the franchise (somewhat understandable concidering the amount of monsters in the film) and Godzilla doesn't even show up until the last few minutes. The human/alien villans are of a film-ruining caliber of terrible, and Monster X has one of the worst designs in all of Kaiju-nation (in my opinion).

I also was not a fan of GMK, and it was mostly due to the suit designs. The plot was fine (aside from the cheesy kid who is wise beyond her years thing), but the monsters (King Ghidorah most of all) just looked bad to me. However, Godzilla's atomic breath in this moive was my favorite out of any film. I love the shockwave effect.

Overall, it is my least favorite of the three series', it has it's moments, but overall I did not care for it.

@Destroyer of Worlds

You can speak for yourself. There are a few Godzilla movies I watch almost soley for the characters. The original film and Monster Zero are two examples off the top of my head. It also doesn't hurt that the best moments in the series typically revolve around a connection between the monsters and the characters. For example: Shindo's final scene with Godzilla in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, Akane and Yoshito's feelings for Kiryu, the Shobijin and Mothra in the early Showa flicks, Katsura and her unique connection with Titanosaurus...etc...

If these movies were simply as mindless as watching monsters stomp around, I don't think I'd watch them.

Not to mention I never watch these movies dubbed. ;)

I think the Heisei and Millennium series have an equal amount of problems, they're just different problems. At that point it comes down to what you're willing to forgive more in favor of other aspects.

It's funny Sparkzilla defends Godzilla 2000 so much since Takeo Okawara directed it-- It's practically just a heisei movie with better special effects, but the same exact flaws as Okawara's previous three Heisei movies: Characters that get to know each other too quickly, plodding pace, characters with nothing to do but watch the fight at the very end, goofy social scenerios...etc... But it is one of the best movies of the Millennium series.

Godzilla x Megaguirus is fairly boring. It works as long as Godzilla's onscreen, but the characters are pretty dislikable. Tezuka did a much better job with his characters in the Kiryu movies which included a much better Godzilla suit, an interesting MechaGodzilla story arc and some nice homages to the Showa series. The problem is those movies don't quite make use of all their potential and are directed in a fairly two-dimensional way. Tezuka just doesn't have the talent to take on the director's chair. It's a shame because I would've to loved have seen someone with more experience take on those stories.

GMK pretty much stands out from anything from the 80s-00s, but has a few pacing issues during the third act. Final Wars is an enjoyable romp with a very specific look to it, but it really is one mess of a movie. I love it, but have no illusion that it's a tonal nightmare with uneven effects and really weird character choices.

The best thing about this series is that they were stand alone stories. Toho had a hard time selling the Heisei movies overseas because they were so interconnected. That led to budget cuts for the latter Heisei movies and it shows. With the Millennium series, different directors were able to give their own unique take on Godzilla without being restricted to a storyline or aesthetic. I know that drives a lot of American fans nuts, but continuity isn't as big of a deal to eastern fans of any franchise. Even the Showa series wasn't very strict on continuity. I loved the fact there was no continuing storyline. Having a continueing story really didn't make the Heisei series any better anyway.

I also don't understand the complaint about the acting. It's no worse than the Heisei series and some of those actors are even veterans of the series: Shin Takuma, Akira Nakao, Akira Takarada, Kumi Mizuno and Noburo Kaneko. And Ryudo Uzaki is an A-list actor/superstar in Japan that was one of the best parts of GMK. I could almost argue that the acting was better, but then there's Miho Yoshioka, Don Fry and Masahiro Matsuoka... So... Ouch...

I understand the misgivings of the Millennium series, but I don't consider it any worse than the Heisei series. It has it's ups and downs, but, for me, it's easier to forgive the downs in the Millennium series than it is Heisei.

Plot development is important. You can have both a good plot and mindless monster fighting. Even the showa series HAD A REASON for the monster battles, most of the millennium series has fighting because it's felt that it has to be there to keep from boring the audience. Hensei series actually had a sense of realism. Please go back and watch G vs Destroyah or G vs Biollante or even G vs KG, the monster battles seem to come off as real, then go watch GxMG and watch Godzilla being tossed cartoonishly across the sitting on his face. When MG grabs his tail and starts spinning in a circle, Godzilla is in a freeze frame position then cartoon throw, TERRIBLE. 

I can sit through almost any Showa/Hensei film and be quite entertained and get my G fix, but going through the M series just pisses me off, it's just not good imo. 

Not to mention the whole "hippie" ideology is really annoying and corny

While I can't say I hate the films, I also find the Millenium the weakest of all the series. I don't think any movie from that would go in my top 10 Godzilla favorites.

@Kyero wasn't there a chart showing which and when movie trailers would be finished? "Neg. date" means when it will be finished.It most likely finished on Feb 14, but when the chart was shown to this site, people didn't know what neg date meant and thought feb 14 was when the trailer would be released. I do agree with the "we know nothing about the trailer yet" a bit.

Well, they're not that bad. What really pisses me of is that they never created a continuous story and instead Toho decided to reebot Godzilla on every film (except for the MechaG films) and that didn't really allowed them to develop Godzilla and its foes, so, instead they kept dropping every new universe on every chance they got.

My two favorite films of the Millenium series were Final Wars and Godzilla 2000. In fact Final Wars was the first Godzilla film I ever saw and the one that made me a Godzilla fan.

I see many fans complaining that Final Wars didn't have enough Godzilla, but I don't think of Final Wars as being entirely a Godzilla film, I think more of it as a Toho film. Final Wars was fuc**ing epic and I absolutely loved it because it honors a lot of Toho Kaiju films (Gorath, Atragon, Destroy All Monsters...). It's more like a great celebration of what Toho Kaiju films are, and it just happens to have Godzilla as its protagonist monster. On a more critical side I would say that, because this film tries so many things at the same time it, at the end it becomes a clusterf*ck. Haha, If Godzilla movies were drugs Final Wars would be a really strong one xD

And I would ask. What's not to like about Final Wars? I have several reasons why this movie is so epic.

-You get to see so many of the classic monsters.

-Godzilla is so badass.

-Lot's of destruction.-And (by far the best reason), we get to see the real Gojira kick that iguana's ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIcExdpsEcQ

Seriously? Bad acting? Bad plot? 1: It's english dubbed so tthe acting can't possibly be oscar material. 2: Dude, nobody gives a shit about the people. It's a giant monster movie dammit, we wanna see some giant monsters. Mothra was pretty badass in GMK, and Final Wars was epic. We don't need plot movement. Nobody but you cares if the Godzilla movie is an emotional tear jerker. We watch the movies for Godzilla, and Godzilla only. The millenium series was damn good.

Can somebody tell me the EXACT date? Too mant dates flying around

@GODZILLASYLUM - How can you say "it's already done and everything" when you're not a part of Legendary or in possession of factual information which confirms that statement? You know, I don't want to be mean here, but it's statements like that which cause false rumors and spread frustration and ignorance throughout the online fanbase. Don't make statements like that unless you know for a fact what you're talking about. Right now, we know absolutely nothing about the next trailer, so don't claim to know something that nobody else does.

Well, this surely is annoying but, what can we do?

Anyways, I don't care if they hide the Muto toys until the movie's release date but, what about Godzilla? I mean, it's not like we've never seen him before or that he's a brand new monster. Everyone knows how Godzilla looks but, whatever, these guys must have a plan.

But yeah, the "CIA levels of secrecy" with this movie are just crazy. Let's wait until March to see what happens.

In movie theatres yes, but it'll drop online alot sooner then that, within the next week or so I can assure you, it's already done and everything and its bound to be realsed or at least leaked within the coming week or so.

Kind of obvious, but Gigan.

I like it. If it make's people fear, then it works.

booooo! we want it now

cant say im not dissapointed. maybe some smart gfan might be able to take some pics. thats what im hoping for

This would be great if I could get more than the vaguest, crappiest descriptions on what people have saw. 

WB and Legendary keeping wraps on the figures is not a good idea. Most people would like to know upwards to a year in advance what toys are going to look like before they buy it.

As a business owner that would like to stock his shelves with some of these products, I'm more than a little annoyed that because I couldn't afford a plane ticket to NY just for a toy show, that I'm not allowed to see a potential future product.

Great advertising there. 

haha yup indeed it's awesome like awesomeness, ^-^

welcome to the forums godzillafangreece, ;) I also tend to do short comments sometimes, as you the english is no my first language, btw in spanish we say Europa instead of europe a curious fact to the godzilla fans.

sometimes I watch the trailer just to can listen that sexy roar!

thanks lad

@SHAZOTHEHEDGEHOG harry potter is WB but there is a ride in Universal studios florida, Spiderman and other marvel heros are Marvel, there is a marvel land in Universal Studios, not everything in Universal Studios is owned by Universal

I think it is great for a modern Godzilla roar.

Ive heard a rumor that Legendary will be sending Godzilla rights to WB. Hope thats not true

now dont get me wrong WB is a good film company but the reason I think its best for Legendary to keep the rights is because like you said Legendary and universal are teaming up and that will make 2 more hell of a Godzilla movies.

or better yet another KING Kong vs Godzilla film.

id rather have 1954 roar to be honest. this one is okay but not the greatest

Thanks gman
