MORE TOY NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the main points from the article linked:

• Three items were on display but seemed still in the prototype stages as most were grey in color. The three items were:
  Godzilla Chibis
  Godzilla Destruction Pack with Winged MUTO Monster - Includes: 1 figure, 1 destructible building, 1 military aircraft
  Godzilla Deluxe Attack and Roar Figure - With collector level detailing this large scale figure brings Godzilla to life as he blasts his powerful atomic breath and lets out his iconic trademarked roar.  
• Thorsten was not impressed. He initially describes the Destruction Pack as having "a little fat dino..but it looks like there is Mothra in the movie too." Actually his initial statement was "Terrible." He used the phrase "cheap plastic" many times.
• Viewed were some bridges, skyscrapers and houses "with parts to destroy".
• The "Winged MUTO Monster is described as having two legs and wings. Looks a bit like a moth. The head in particular was somewhere between a moth and a fly in appearance. The creature had claws like the classic Godzilla monster Gigan (meaning hooks).
• Thorsten could not give much more detail as the monster pieces were very small, in the 3 to 3.5 inch range. (Estimated)
• Compared to this small size, I suppose the Deluxe Attack and Roar Godzilla WOULD come off as "large scale". We are told this figure is 7 inches tops, but definitely no bigger.
• Deluxe Godzilla's action feature is a blue flame effect that pops out of his mouth and lights up. This figure also roars. I asked if it made the classic sound to see if they just had a place holder sound effect in the toy and was told this was the new roar. As we were also not allowed any recording devices, we can't even play that for you. WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE INSIDE OF THORSTEN'S HEAD RIGHT NOW!!

Sounds neat for sure! Will work on a front page story for this.

Thanks for the link and the news!

so... the winged muto is a hybrid between Mothra and Gigan?

Cool! not what I was hoping, but cool anyway.

blue atomic breath hmmm

Very interesting... Didn't something come up a little while back about the MUTOs being homage monsters? If the winged muto is described as being Mothra like, with Gigan weaponary, perhaps the Eight Legged Muto is a combination of Kamacuras and Kumonga?

For a while I've been throwing around the idea in my head that the MUTOs change somehow, thanks to the radiation... It would be awesome if, like in Pacific Rim, one of the MUTOs reveals a secret weapon like ability, as Otachi did :}

Mothra!! xx

he said that the head was moth/ fly like, that could be a lot of bugs, the hooked arms make me think something along the lines of gigan+a mantis+maybe megaguirus. i doubt it actually looks much like mothra. i don't think legendary would put a colorful giant butterfly thing into a dark and gritty movie.

no images yet?

Sigh... Yet another gaggle of overexcitement.

When he said it looked like Mothra, he was not being incredibly serious.

In fact I'm willing to bet if we were there to hear him talk he'd be saying it with disdain in his tone of voice as if he hated the resemblance. If it has wings and only two legs to walk on, how can it look like the Mothra we all know and love? Its body will have to change to accomodate its bipedal nature, and its resemblance will be extremely limited. If it does have Gigan-like hooks, how seriously can we take that when it's a 3-3.5 inch CHIBI figure. The whole point of being chibi is to distort the realistic proportions and make it look as silly as possible. Having a curved arm 'like Gigan' doesn't really tell us anything difinitive.

With that in mind, I'm not trusting what I'm reading at the moment to give me an idea of what's actually on the way.

I don't think he mean it because Mothra is less scary looking, if they make her more scary. I think it will be more like Magaguirus and Battra.
