Here’s the first point, and it’s kinda a bummer unfortunately:
Mirjahangir: Will you be doing figures of enemy monsters, either for the classic or modern Godzilla line?
Falk: No plans for MUTO or monsters yet. We are limited somewhat in what we can do with the classic films anyway, so for now it is better for us to focus on all the key iconic versions of Godzilla over the past 60 years.
So… THAT sucks, at least on one level. No MUTO’s or Toho monsters on the horizon, but at least more Godzillas are on the way! Check this out:
Mirjahangir: Can you reveal anything about the future of the classic Godzilla line?
Falk: Well, we have three more underway currently – two are a little more unconventional or different than what you might think initially. You might see one more this Fall possibly as a Black Friday retail exclusive.
News of the three new figures under development has already been shared here recently, but here is an awesome tidbit worth freaking out about:
Falk: Also I want to make sure we cover the original 1956 version [1954 in Japan] no matter what – it is important to me that we can pay tribute to the one that started it all.
HECK YEAH!!!! :D
So to recap, no MUTO’s or Toho monsters coming up (aka: the bad news), but we are getting three more Godzillas soon, most likely including the 1954 version (aka: the good news)!
