Hehe yeah!
Post a pic when he arrives. If it's the vinyl figure and he's half-price, too, I wanna see this for myself. Maybe I'll get him for my baby bro's birthday.

I promise I'll post pics - I have a place in mind for him in my art room and it would be an ideal place to take photos of him!

GIIIIIGAAAAANNN!

He arrived alongside the gifts I've gotten my dad for Father's Day. He's absolutely legit. The pictures don't do the figurine enough justice. The sheen they put on his golden scales is amazing, positioning his arms and legs is flexible and I'm totally satisfied with him. here in the UK he was about £40.00 Normally but I got him for half price - worth every penny!

EDIT: WTF spoilers go home you're drunk.

I buy weeb art supplies too so it was only fitting I show some of them alongside him.

Oh my goodness, look at the SHEEN! He an Ebay purchase or from someplace else?
He's on Amazon! Look up Bandai Godzilla Movie Monster Series and you should be able to find one.
As I said the pics don't do it justice. The sheen is amazing IRL.
Went to check his collection very quick and I forgot he does have one (the sheen is definitely legit). So I went ahead to get the Bandai Singular Point Godzilla Ultima and Jet Jaguar figurines instead.
All caught up on Singular Point. Unputdownable. But man, if they cut out all the masturbatory theoretical quantum physics bullhockey, it'd probably be six episodes. It makes peak-technobabble Star Trek: TNG sound straightforward and to the point.
Although I'll tell you, guys, episode ten put a stupid grin on my face.

I was about to be disappointed with that ending buuuuutttt.....
I'll be sorely disappointed if there's no sequel after that scene.
I wouldn't mind if a sequel doesn't happen given how some of the Millennium movies operated, but it's just too cool to leave hanging, honestly.
Totally agree. All that dimensional time travel stenography in the lullaby nonsense felt like fluff. The action was good and damn love that kaiju design. The Buddist inspired kaiju look so much more ominous.

Ok, even without what was shown after the end credits. The final episode ends with "This is how the story starts" So i'm guessing they are really pushing for a sequel, which I am really up for. So this first season was a setup for this animated Godzilla universe.
I think with the final act of the OD and the creation the final phase of the archtype in the end scene (the blue crystal). Now humans have a new power source, maybe allowing for leaps in technology like this MechaG.

I agree, the kaiju designs were great, over-long tails and everything. I was surprised that they based the Rodans on fairly up-to-date representations of pterosaurs. One picture used in a news report was even based on another by a paleontologist, that did the rounds a few years ago.
Something is very familiar about Godzilla's second form. I think it's based on another piece of paleoart but I can't place it.
And Salunga there, he looks like he's based on Gabara, but - especially with his penchant for relentlessly breaking through impenetrable barriers - he has a bit of Forbidden Planet about him too.
Think they're waiting for the first World of Godzilla movie to come out. Supposedly it'll be filming this year, but it might be next year since GvK had to be delayed.
It's difficult to say how I feel about that last episode. Exciting things happened, there were many dazzling visuals, but as Clown College said, it turned out a little meh.
For a show titled 'Godzilla', Godzilla sure felt incidental to the plot. He properly showed up ten episodes into a thirteen-episode season, and did less than he would do in any given film. His threat wasn't even stepping on Tokyo, but colliding realities? I'm still not sure about that, or what the kaiju were meant to be. Alternate realities? Higher dimensions? It's clouded by the kind of overcomplicated word salad that turned me off Planet of the Monsters, too.
The leads were a pair of cold fish. I don't know if this is the writers coming to the same conclusion as Shane 'tism is the future' Black. I don't remember Mei and Yun changing their expressions from 'confused anxiety' and 'indifferent scowl'. When Professor Li died, I was deep into the next episode before I realised I should have cared. The only pang of concern I felt was when Habanero and Granpa, the comic relief, fell to their deaths, and even that was cheated when they happened to land on the one bit of japanese overpass constructed from balloons, marshmallows and goosedown pillows.
And the key to defeating Godzilla and preventing the catastrophe was...
Well it looked nice. The last bit got me excited. Fingers crossed?

Lol stumpy Jet Jaguar.
Dub for Singular Point is on Netflix, just came home to find my little brother midway through the series. Had no idea it was out lol.
Pronunciation is cringe, though, but maybe that's just me being too used to the Godzilla dubs.
