Today I picked up the Bandai Tokyo Vinyl Godzilla this morning from the post office. It's been over four weeks since I ordered this, so it's about time it arrived.Much of Bandai USA's Godzilla products have not impressed me too much. Besides their original line of six inch figures back in 2002, I have their 12" scaled Godzilla 2005 and MechaGodzilla 2003. Their later items have not intrigued me one bit. However, once I saw the images of the new Tokyo Vinyl figures earlier this year I was interested.
I ordered Godzilla first. The first thing I noticed was that it was bigger than I was expecting. It stands at around 6 inches in height - I was expecting something around 4 inches. Well, the bigger the better, am I right? The thing that attracted me to this item was that it had a designer toy-like quality to it. Normally I don't collect these style of items, but it's Godzilla, what can I say? My only gripe with this figure is that it doesn't resemble any particular design of Godzilla. It seems that it is a general take on the character - unlike the MechaGodzilla figure.
There isn't much else I can say about this item except that I personally like it. I hope my MechaGodzilla Tokyo Vinyl figure comes in this week.
