Lobsterman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 You know what this thread got me thinking about last night? Giant robots. Minimates of Gundam, Mazinger, Getter, Reideen, Grendizer, Voltron… that would be awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh and he had a good looking Godzilla mate also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelink Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've thought lots of times about attempting a custom Grendizer minimate. I've never seen one done. All those you mention would be very cool and very fun then to mix and match parts creating other giant robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It hasn't been stated if the new movie has the rights to other characters that we already know (Rodan, et. all). We know there's one monster in it (Muto, some kind of insect fellow) but nothing other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I was starting out slow with classic robots, but if we wanna go modern, better throw in Big O, Escaflowne, Gurran Laggan, and Patlabor, too!

Trekker 42 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Probably not them, but kinda interesting anyway. Probably a reference though. It's similar enough to make one think of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiGoji Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi! I'm new here. The skinny lower legs on the minimates actually make sense. If you notice in the movies, Godzilla and te other monsters have rather meaty thighs (*snicker*). The extra thigh prices are emulating the Kaijus' bulk. If you don't believe me, look at basically any design for Godzilla other than the 1998 one. His face looks funny because we are more used to Godzilla's profile. Most of the toy air images were taken from dead on. And speaking of Godzilla and snickers: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BkNeGDNhYZo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrobotC Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The Godzilla mate is really starting to grow on me,especially after seeing this image. The Godzilla mate looks IDENTICAL to it,besides the color. Most Godzilla toys are painted a shade of green instead of charcoal black .-.

Gillbob316 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Re: The "interesting" choice of Titanosaurus...I feel like he's pretty blatantly the character that got thrown into the set to ride on the popularity of the other three... as a means of getting him out there. Since he'd be less interesting in a two-pack or something (should Godzilla ever get two-packs)I mean, let's take the Marvel Civil War set as an example...Iron ManSpider-ManCaptain AmericaNitro... One of these things is not like the others.Titanosaurus is your Nitro.And I personally see that as a good thing, because it indicates that they intend to make more Godzilla minimate sets. When they cram in all the heavy hitter, all star, essential characters in the first pack... it usually means, "We don't think this line will have legs, so we're hitting all the high notes as quick as possible." ... when they throw in a filler character, it means, "We plan to make quite a few of these sets, so we're pacing ourselves on the big characters, and working in a few small ones too when we have room."I'd love a Mechagodzilla or a King Ghidorah as much as the next guy, but I'm happy to get Titanosaurus. I want as many monsters as possible in the long run.Hell, say what you will about the crappy movie, but I'd even take a Zilla minimate. Just because he became a canon (if lame) monster within the overall Godzilla franchise. And I wantz them all.King Kong would also be one I'd dare to dream for. He so rarely gets represented in Godzilla merch. Despite having squared off with him. Damned legal mumbo jumbo. (Perhaps Zach has some idea if there's any prayer there?)

(Perhaps Zach has some idea if there's any prayer there?) Not gonna lie, I'd sincerely enjoy having Zilla too. Wonder if we're gonna see mostly Showa or Heisei versions first. This set is clearly Showa but I really do want me some Heisei. To me that's the really iconic version of each monster. It's when they really looked their best.

Mystery Man Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Buddy of one posted this on Facebook today: Godzilla Classic Minimates Series 1 Box Set A Diamond Select Toys Release! What’s the best way to stop a towering atomic monster? Put him in your pocket! Celebrating 60 years of Godzilla movies, this box set of classically-styled Minimates includes Godzilla and three of his most famous friends and foes: Mothra, Gigan and Titanosaurus! Each Minimate mini-figure stands approximately 2 inches tall and features a variety of interchangeable parts. Packaged on a blister card. Designed by Art Asylum! 4-Pack SRP: $19.99 I'm hoping we'll get various versions of Godzilla over the years, including some fun glow-in-the-dark and bright green versions. It'll really help to keep him in the picture while still releasing the rest of his friends/foes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
