Well your research does make sense. I always thought Godzilla made Toho and without him, the toy market would not be as profitable as it is. It's all good! As for the future possible projects, we will see. I was hoping there could be at least one more down the road. As for the battle itself.....LET THEM FIGHT! lol Thanks for your comment.
hawk4117,
MechaGodzilla is one of Toho's most popular and profitable creations in the Godzilla series which is why they keep bringing it back. Toho was so pleased with the first MechaGodzilla movie in 1974 they made sure he was in the direct sequel. In the Heisei series they brought it back after bringing King Ghidorah and Mothra back proved so successful. And they brought it back again in the Millennium series after, once again, bringing back Mothra and King Ghidorah proved successful. The Kiryu toy sales were very high during those films' run. It played a significant role in the anime series. It was in Ready Player One. And each incarnation has been in video games and comic books as a constant.
The reason MechaGodzilla is being brought back is because he's a more bankable character than Mecha King Ghidorah, Destoroyah, Gigan or Hedorah, which haven't been in as many movies or marketed media.
Yeah I read a site that stated that. Actually there's two that I came across that stated Kong and Godzilla would not team up. But there's at least 6 others that stated otherwise! It's all speculative and hearsay. The truth will come out in March. As for your comment saying "MechaGodzilla is one of Toho's most profitable monsters"...I beg to differ. We're talking Toho! It's Godzilla, being the number one most profitable toy ever...Toho and Godzilla are Brothers' in the toy and movie market for Gods sake! I do agree with you about future projects being impacted all across the board because of the pandemic. No doubt, the Corvid pandemic has definitely affected profits in the movie industry. We'll see!
Fifty more of these and we'll have a full trailer!
:)
hawk4117,
There's another source that claims the Godzilla/Kong team up is BS. And MechaGodzilla has all but been confirmed since last year thanks to the toy leak.
MechaGodzilla is one of Toho's most profitable monsters. Plus WB got the rights to use it in Ready Player One, so it adds up.
As for profitability, in the age of streaming and covid, which has already resigned projects to lose money, I doubt we'll see any more Monsterverse after this.
Thank Godzilla!!!!
Riley Roberts,
Unfortunately, it may be some time before someone else handles the Heisei/Millennium films. As of 2013 these were the years that Sony lost the rights to their films. I'm uncertain if they renewed Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and Godzilla vs. Mothra, but it's very possible. If the rest of these movies lapse by 2023-2025, then someone else may pick them up, but it's no guarantee:
GODZILLA VS KING GHIDORAH (Renewal Date: 2019)
GODZILLA AND MOTHRA (Renewal Date: 2019)
GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA II (Renewal Date: 2023)
GODZILLA VS SPACE GODZILLA (Renewal Date: 2023)
GODZILLA VS DESTOROYAH (Renewal Date: 2023)
REBIRTH OF MOTHRA (Renewal Date: 2023)
REBIRTH OF MOTHRA II (Renewal Date: 2023)
REBIRTH OF MOTHRA III (Renewal Date: 2025)
GODZILLA 1998 (In Perpetuity)
GODZILLA 2000 (Renewal Date: 2025)
GODZILLA VS MEGAGUIRUS (Renewal Date: 2023)
GMK (Renewal Date: 2023)
I do not currently know the renewal dates for the rest of the Millennium movies.
Maybe I'll win the lottery and buy out the theatre for one showing... :D
lets hecking goooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
I started to become a Godzilla fan since I was 13 years old. I love the king of the monsters himself. I love it how he protects the humans from any villain that has threatened the human race. Go Godzilla. I love him.
I have hopes for this anime. Really looking forward to the other Kaiju interpretations.
@KaijuBuildz Exactly!
Trendmasters vibe going on here.
New transfer please?
"Why watch it? Because it's GODZILLA VS KING KONG dammit!!!" Sums it up really
I hope the Kong pics are from the prototype; that mouth is pretty wonky. Also, not big on the punching action.
Otherwise, they look like great kids toys.
I hope these Bandai figures make it to North America, and not as exclusives to WM.
I also think that was just the venom movie.
Dang, 2 major errors slipped through.
1. Movie Monster Series Godzilla-kun from Godziban is actually 1,650 yen. I sincerely apologize for that ignorant oversight/error.
2. I don't know what exactly happened with the formatting of the bullet points, and I wish I could edit it, but I, unfortunately, can't. For future reference, however, I know how to avoid the issue.
Gamera inspiration is cool but he better not be related to shin.
Bears some exciting similarities to the 1954 maquette and Shin Godzilla. I also dig the Gamera 3-esque Mohawk. The eyes are bit much, but it's quite the monster design.
Well I lumped in Kong Skull Island because its a Godzilla movie continuity-wise and not an independent monster film that retroactively becomes a Godzilla monster movie
Well, the update shows is back in operation. Although nothing new added.
Well, if we're going outside Godzilla movies, then yes. The Mysterians, Rodan, Dogora--That's a long list.
Godzilla 2014, Kong Skull Island, Godzilla King of the Monsters, and Godzilla 1998
....and I think Godzilla vs King Ghidorah if I remember correctly
Godzilla 1998 had some horror elements regarding the baby godzillas
(I don't know why I can't think of all this and just do a single post!)
Also - another 6" Kong is listed. The link is here:
Well, it hadn't been update for over a year, so it's to be expected. Maybe some good stuff will show up closer to May. (Fingers crossed.)
Although I don't really like the 'battle damage' on Warbat.
Still a silly name.
Awaiting patiently......
I'm hesitant on calling any Godzilla film (barring 1954) a horror film. Although movies like Shin, GMK, 84, Bio, and some others do most certainly contain horror elements.
I think that was just the venom movie
I'm pretty sure I heard that the symbiotes break down their hosts or was that only exclusive to the Venom movie?
No competition, IMHO...
Hopeful for an interesting read when this comes out. Only wish Legendary would publish novels for the "in-between" story-lines, such as they did for the Pacific Rim movies.
Xenotaris it doesn’t eat it’s host it eventually takes over their body. The host’s body basically becomes a puppet of the symbiote of worn to long.
I know that's why I said the thing I said because doesn't Venom also breaks down its hosts? A power that would eventually takes you over and eats you seems like a huge disadvantage in a fight
