“SCREEEEEONK!”
Today's Goodwill finds. Very odd to find packaged action figures at the first store I stopped at. I found poor Ultra Magnus at the last store. I'd like to think he's asking for the sweet release of death.

Godzilla vs King Koopa (Nintoho, 1989)
Here are my picks for the top 14 Transformers and top 14 non-Transformers toys I acquired in 2014. Why two categories? Because there were too many to choose from for one.

Apparently, even kaiju have problems with their diet.
What's in the box? Why, it's Godzilla, my first S.H.Monsterarts!

Godzilla 1954 | Godzilla | Bandai | 2014 |
I picked up Godzilla 1954 at Target for under $5 on the way to work last night. They’re in the process of clearing out merchandise for the next reset of the toy department and Godzilla got the axe. It was a pretty lackluster line even with a major motion picture out in the US to help back it. I don’t think retailers really gave it much of a chance either. But, I digress.
Earlier this year, I finally watched the original Japanese version of the 1954 Godzilla and really enjoyed it. I kept hoping to find the corresponding toy for the film, but everywhere seemed full up on King Caeser, whom I’ll wager the average person in the US has no connection to. But, I lucked out and am happy with my purchase.
Godzilla is made of plastic as one would expect, except that it’s hollow. Every piece is hollow with exception of the arms, near as I can tell. This gives the Big G a cheap-ish feel to him. It’s not bad, but I expect a Godzilla figure to have some heft to it. He has six points of articulation, all swivel joints; neck, between the shoulders and elbows, hips, and at the halfway point of the tail. This adds play value, but doesn’t lend to a variety of decent poses. The paint applications are good with the spikes, claws, chest, eyes, teeth and mouth interior setting off against the main gray color nicely.
