  Couldn't Legendary just renew the rights? and I don't think the rights need to be expired for Toho to make a  new Godzilla.

Rest in peace.

TOHO does not want the competition.. or do they? They're still making Godzilla films (Monster Planet)..  and who knows what they will do in the future (Shin Gojira is still in play). So I would think TOHO would see the success of KOM and GvKK.. and think... merchandising and future joint ventures with Legendary.. say... 75th Anniversary Of Godzilla.

Other Toho monsters could be retooled for an epic continuation of Legendry's G Saga. like 20 years after GvKK.

Shin G was a stand alone film (imo) He didn't do it for me. I like the approach Legendary has taken. If KOM succeeds at being a big box office draw.. then if I were a TOHO executive.. I would get together with the folks at Legendary.. over some excellent Japanese food.. and say.. let's talk about future ventures. Showa series 2.0 - American G versus.. you name it.. we'll agree to it.

^Plus they most likely have access to the King of the Monsters script so continuity won't be an issue.

The Bootleg Rebellious ,
Then it wouldn't get made. Legendary presumably lose the rights to Godzilla after 2020, so they're working against the clock.

It's unknown how or if Toho will allow the franchise to be handled after the fact.

They should also delay it by 1 to 2 years.

Ok, that seems to be way early, they should just wait how Godzilla 2 turns out before filming.

Finally some news! Let's hope we get some stuff on KotM soon too!

And so it begins. 

First! Also, before everyone else posts something, I just need to sayone thing: please no spoilers. Thank you.

I like this a lot! Keep going!

Something I forgot to mention: I don't want what happened to Lego Dino to happen to this set. Basically, I don't want Lego to release it, have it have a short-lived reign, and then become discontinued the same year it is released.

It looks awesome. I forgot about the creature designs until I saw this. Reminds me of how cool it can look and already looks.

This has to become a thing. Otherwise there is going to be a lot of upset people, and I don't think Lego would want to have that. Who agrees with me?

This looks awesome. Can't wait for the next part.

that is one SICK display.. I wish I had the cash for that puppy.

"Acting as a blood relative and somewhat of a sequel to 2014's Godzilla..." No, it's a PREQUEL to "GODZILLA" (2014), can you please edit that?

T'Challa: "Get this Kaiju a Lego set."

SCI-FI KING25 - This was extremely neat! The mention of Gorosaurus and the way in which you presented your characters was mosy fantastic! I liked the dialogue and the way in which the characters spoke of the situation in sober and serious terms! Excellent work! :)

I just supported, this better become a thing

That is amazing!

I'm liking this so far, SFK. BTW was the scene with Gorosaurus a reference to one of the early script ideas for Godzilla (2014)?

It looks awesome. Unique in its own way. Probably the best since the model for Godzilla since either the S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 2014 Godzilla model or the S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters Godzilla model.

I'd never have thought they would make that. I seriously didn't think of it. That's pretty cool.

RIP Yosuke Natsuke. I haven't seen Ghidorah or Return of Godzilla in a while. But i remember him in the movies. Thank you for being a great actor. Condolences to his family and friends. Here's to another actor that will never be forgotten. 

Of course he can. What could kill Godzilla? [Insert picture of Oxygen Destroyer here.]

Thus proving my point.

I see where you are trying to incorporate human behavior as a monster in cinema. But Im sorry, not including Dracula or The Creature from the Black Lagoon? The Wolfman? Shame on you. Haha.

But if you are going to include Alex Delarge and Amon Goth, why not include Henry from "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer"? He was way more insidious.

Alex eventually repented for his sins, and fallen prey from his past. Making him more human than monster in the end.

Patrick Bateman in the end of American Psycho wasn't even sure he committed those acts in the end of the movie. The audience is left with the question of what we saw Bateman do was even real or all in his mind. He is crazy, but questionably a monster.

Amon Goth, yup, a monster no doubt. Hannibal, agreed, a very dangerous monster. But the categories in this list is wide and vast. Going from Hannibal to Jaws, is like comparing a knife to a machine gun when comparing how deadly one is to another to oneself. I would rather take on a psychopath than a great white shark.

Frankenstien, no doubt a monster. A great and tragic one at that. Agreed there.

Im not sure where this list goes. Each character is definitely dangerous and scary in there own way but I wouldn't put many of these characters in the same list representing the same category of monsters.

Alien is the scariest tho. haha.

Godzilla can take em all.

^you bring up a good point about durability here. I mean who wouldn't be hurt by a 100 foot kong, but another good point about the vast difference between the 2 monster species.

The Skull Crawlers seem to have thin scale skin, while the MUTO's have a kind of exoskeleton. Even Godzilla's atomic breath couldn't penetrate their "skin". Hence the "Kiss of Death" worked because Godzilla knew the one place he can kill them.

The Skull Crawlers where killed by human hands as well as Kong's.

 Also, something I forgot to mention above: First.

Where is King Kong on the list? Also, I was thinking about who would win a fight between all of them while reading this. Spoiler for the fight: Godzilla wins.

There is one factor everyone seems to be forgetting about the MUTOs: how well they were able to both tag-team on Godzilla 2-to-1, and how, up to a certain point [insert "Kiss of Death" scene here], how durable they were to missiles, bullets, and Godzilla's atomic breath. Meanwhile, the giant Skullcrawler gets hit by a tree, cut by the a part of a shipwreck, gets hurt by a flare in the eye, and gets it butt kicked and organs pulled out by a 100 foot tall Kong. Now by this logic, the MUTOs win. Who agrees with me?

This...is...awesome.

The other creatures on the island come in many shapes and sizes. The creatures(all except kong and the SC) all seem to share a common characteristic, they all seem to be part fauna and flora. The birds, insects and arachnids, and mammals all seem to be half animal half plant. Some are big as the environment they inhabit, others are pretty small.

My point is if Kong grew that size in about 30 years wouldn't the skull crawlers? if the big one was able to take down 2 mature Kongs in the 40's wouldn't it be bigger in the 70's? That's 3 decades that it had time to grow. Unlike the other creatures that inhabit the island. They all grow to the size of there surroundings.

Unless GvK reveals a bigger skull crawler for a 300ft Kong to fight shows up in the movie, I wont be all that convinced that the skull crawler would grow any bigger. Since Kong seemed to extinguish that species in the 70's and now 40 years have passed I doubt another one will show up to be any bigger than one that took over 30 years to stay around 200ft long to all of a sudden be big enough to be big enough to take on a 300ft Kong in 40 years. But its a monster movie, Im sure they will give us something to ignore with a plot point like that.

But you could be onto something. Maybe since the island is a small island maybe on a huge continent a skull crawler could reach a bigger size. Like your typical tarantula, they grow bigger once introduced to a bigger environment. Maybe the same with a skull crawler.

If Kong will keep growing until his match-up with Godzilla, surely the creatures on Skull Island, Skullcrawlers included would also continue to grow?

If we are to assume the Big One is as large as they get then yeah, MUTO wins hands down, but if a Skullcrawler managed to survive and continuously grow for decades more, it's possible it could reach MUTO size and then the match-up would certainly be more even.

Iv never read the comic(even though I want to, just haven't come across it yet), but in the movie Hank Marlow keeps referring to "the big one" as if to say "the big one that killed Kongs parents and the reason for that wall that protects the natives", we are all left to assume that the big skull crawler has been that size for quite some time. 30 years haven't seem to make it any bigger.

That's what leads me to believe that the full grown skull crawler has already reached its full size.

There used to be quite a few large Skullcrawlers like Ramarak, as seen in the Skull Island: Birth of Kong comics, although most of them weren't quite as large as the Big One from the main film.

Of course, it does lend itself to the question of whether or not these are the true size limits of the creatures. Kong's slated to take on Godzilla in a few years IRL and in-universe, so he'll need to get MUCH bigger. His parents don't seem much bigger than he is in the film and the comics, so one has to wonder if the Skullcrawlers and Kong ever actually hit their size limits.

The Female MUTO, hands down. The size of this beast would crush a Skull Crawler. She gave Godzilla a run for his money, so there is no way a full grown skull crawler can ever take down a female MUTO.

At least she could take it on one on one. If there where say 5 full grown skull crawlers on one Female MUTO. Maybe I would think twice.

Now against a male MUTO? My hat still goes to the Male MUTO. He can fly and was able to pick up Godzilla off the ground for a short period of time. So the strength on a male MUTO is quite extraordinary. So picking up a 200ft thin full grown skull crawler then dropping it to the ground from a high altitude would crush a skull crawler. Not to mention the speed of a Male MUTO even hitting in a skull crawler would be devastating to the latter.

I am assuming the Skull Crawlers are only full grown in KSI, because we are told that the big one killed Kongs parents at least 30 years prior to the events that happened in the 70's. So it is safe to say that the adult crawler gets to be that size at full grown.
