Godzilla Week vs. Mechagodzilla!

This is the biggest guy in my meager Godzilla/Kaiju collection. Standing about a foot tall, this is another Bandai vinyl figure that has recently began (re) appearing on toy store shelves. Also available at this scale is a Final Wars Godzilla which looks pretty awesome at a foot tall.


This is an updated Mechagodzilla from 2002's Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. The original Mechagodzilla appeared in 1974, and this one is much more detailed and robotic looking, while still holding true to the "guy in a suit" Godzilla/Kaiju standard.


His arms move at the shoulder, his waist turns, and his head turns at the base of the neck. Just enough articulation, and probably about the same range of motion as the actual suit!


The details are great at this scale, and since he's hollow vinyl he isn't heavy or bulky. He's just big!




Trypticon vs. Mechagodzilla - kinda like a gargantuan game of Rock Paper Scissors:

"I transform into a city."

"Oh yeah? Well I SMASH cities!"
Mechagodzilla FTW!

  1. I remember seeing the original, on the big screen back in 74' one of my all time favorite Godzilla "villains", back then the theater only had two screens... awesome!
