@@DaikaijuDU Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!

@@connoromalley4004 Lol!! I LOVE it!!!

@@Pokehon Thank you! I try my best!

It is! Especially with the other forms!

Thanks!

@ShowaShowcase ofc!

@@MayumiC-chan9377 I got my copy a few years ago from my brother during Christmas. Its in poor shape, but I still cherish it!

@@ShowaShowcase My husband also has King Kong and 1958 The Blob book

@MayumiC-chan9377 That Blob book traumatized me as a kid. To THIS DAY I cant bring myself to watch the movies. Lol

@@ShowaShowcase Oh my god you and my husband! My husband is Afro/Japanese and he avoids those movies like the plague! I don’t have the nerve to make fun of anyone’s fears because i’m a pediatrician and i’ve seen children vividly scared of things and i have to tell parents to help them do not ridicule them. My father-in-law a Military veteran like my husband also helped him as a child when he had a fear of the dark got him a nightlight and flashlight and introduced him to smooth jazz on a little portable radio he still has from 1990. My husband met his childhood fears with a father who understood his fear. Even today my husband cringes when he sees it playing on tv and even our children hate the movies. Now King Kong my husband and father-in-law and son love 1933s version! Same with Son of Kong.

​@@MayumiC-chan9377​Definately dealing with fears with my daughter too. The blob is probably the most terrifying in concept; a shapless entity that will digest you on touch. It grows larger and can squeeze through the tightest cracks to get to you. Its that combo of inescapable all consuming horror that doesnt sit well with me. Lol!

@@sofubisamurai Super appraciative! Thank you! And welcome!

@@mgkiryuu While I dont have the 6" MMS Goro, I do have the 8" one from some years back. But your right, Playmates feels like, in terms of quality and paint what makes a good kaiju vinyl. I feel like their sculpters get one photo for each monster they work on. There is always an angle where they look good, but move that angle and you see some warped proportions. Baragon's skull, Gorosaurus' snout...I think 56' Rodan is good, but look at their catalog and almost all of their classic monsters have some sort of distortion.

@@anders7775 Amen! Mine too!

@@wildone008 Thats awesome! Many of us were on the same trajectory, it seems!

@ShowaShowcase I think things were so much more special when you came across stuff then. Godzilla stuff wasn't as easy available then, as it is now. So when you did see a book like this ,it was like WOW....GODZILLA!! I wasn't familiar with some of the monsters or movies featured in either book at the time. So, the world of Godzilla seemed like a fantastic place to explore. Now, today, Godzilla stuff is wonderfully all over the place. As an adult . If I see something I like . I can afford to buy it at my fingertips. His movies are still being made after all these years and getting even bigger and better. I first saw Godzilla early one Saturday morning on a show called "Sunrise Theater." I didn't know his name then because it was a showing of "Gigatis the fire monster." My older brother called him Godzilla, " When I told him about the monster movie I had seen that morning. Later on, when "Godzilla vs. the smog monster"came to a mattinee. My brother took me to see it. Godzilla been my superhero ever sents!!

@wildone008 Wow! You summed it up perfectly. My experoences were similar, and funny enough, I cant be sure what my first Godzilla film was, but "vs. The Smog Monster" is burned in my head as one of my earliest memories.

Thank you for your kind words and subscription! This book was what kept me in the interest of the franchise, as it was a constant reminder of the unique form of cinema Toho was doing! Without it, Godzilla may have been something of a "oh yeah I remember thise silly films!" memory for some!

@@mgkiryuu Wow. At this point my brain cannot link actual politics to fan votes, do the magnitudes of the outcome. Fans need to enjoy what we have, even if deemed obscure or unwanted. I have no doubt that Bandai has those other choices lined up, maybe already sculpted. For some of us, it is all we may have left!

@@ShowaShowcase agreed. Here is hoping for a giant octopus or giant sea snake for next year! :)

@@mgkiryuu since Giant Condor cotributes to the "vs. Ebirah" cast, Giant Octopus works for both KK vs G and War of the Gargantuas...hell, even the cut scene from Frankenstein vs Baragon!

@@mgkiryuu It never occurred to me to copy this book while in school. Decades later , I wound up with a poor condition one in the video, but I treasure it all the same!

@@petergucci4024 Thanks for the compliment! I hope to have more content very soon!

I would love a 64' Rodan too!

@@copysquid all great picks! No argument from me!

I think it became most apparent with 91's Godzilla vs King Ghidorah. For some reason my young brain refused to accept The Return of Godzilla was a total reboot

I wish I could take credit for the illustrations, but for times sake I resort to using my Bitmoji app to generate appropriate expressions. I would love to illustrate my own, but time is my enemy! I wouldnt put it past Bandai to deliver Giant Condor, Octopus and Sea Snake before KG!

Ah yes Meganulon ... we need a Bandai version besides the giant Xplus one which costs an arm and leg or then again there's the Iwakura or Marmit versions and the Bottlecap version

@@zhuangsaur227 I have the Marmit one, if that is the one where it looks like he is standing up and is a man in a suit. That one still cost me more than I want :/ But I like it for sure. I got the grey/blue one. But the black and red one of that is certainly a lot cooler.

@mgkiryuu ahaha I do not have the standing one but I've the brown one that is in the standard horizontal bug pose ... as a kid I was fascinated by Meganulon and found them rather cute due to the eyes and even the squeaky bug like sounds

@mgkiryuu this year better be the Showa King Ghidorah year especially since the Bandai Premium one costs crazy amounts... I plan to get the model kit one 1/350 scale and of course the Bandai Premium one one day ... going a hit miss on the Deagostini one

I got started collecting during the 1992 releases, so it was all Heisei Ghidorah by then.

@@ShowaShowcase haha my Principal (I work as a head teacher at my school) which she gave me a Thank You Card and its been what my King Ghidorah been holding haha

@@zhuangsaur227 🤣🤣🤣

Let's hope we get some good stuff!

I completely agree. I've limited myself due to accessibility.

That's ny headcannon!

@@ShowaShowcase most likely Rodan 64 is an offspring given he doesn't look as sinister as the 56 Rodan pair

@@ShowaShowcase hmmm you use email or social media like LINE? Would be happy to Toylaborate haha

@ShowaShowcase actually last night I took out my Bandai 1991 Rodan 56 and the Ymsf Rodan 56 and lined them with the Ymsf Rodan 64 ... scales nicely and reminds me of my older cousins Godzilla compendium book from the 90s of the Rodan generations

🤣🤣🤣

I saw larva more as a kid, so it was always weird when I saw Mothra...looking like a moth😅

@@ShowaShowcase used to think of large California Rolls wrapped on long foil as Mosura larva...and also used to use single Lego stick bloks as a Mothra Larva substitute

@@ShowaShowcase first Mosura larva toy I got was in July 2000 ... was a 1998 Godzilla Movie Monster Series version of the 92 Larva

@@ShowaShowcase and I thought Mothra Leo larva was Mothra 61 larva due to white color

@@ShowaShowcase ended up getting X Plus Mothra 61 larva just prior to Covid hitting the world in 2020 😇 🙏

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

Oh agree wholeheartedly! I am happy I have him. And yeah that Keiser Ghidorah is wretched. I'm glad I still have the original larger one!

@@ShowaShowcase Hoping they'll reissue that one eventually, or make one closer to it.

Omg thats hilarious!!

Yeah its a good sculpt too!

Lol! Wow!

​@@ShowaShowcaseand my YMSF RODAN HAS ARRIVED!!!

I like them all! They all feel sturdy and fairly solid!

I wouldn't be mad at that!

Then I have done my job! Thanks for watching!

2 years ago in 2022 YMSF did release a Hedorah set you get Hedorah, Flying Hedorah, and an aqua stage and a captured Godzilla 71 ....

While he's not my personal #1, its in the top 5

Good question. I assumed it was the 58, but now that I consider it, maybe the latter?

I wish I had it on hand to show the distinctions.

@@ShowaShowcase haha I happen to have the Memorial Box Godzilla 64 and 2 of those YMSF Godzilla 64 plus an earlier YMSF Godzilla 64 from 2005 haha

@@ShowaShowcase I've also got a Hazawa Gumi Godzilla 64 specifically the GTTHM Godzilla haha

@@zhuangsaur227 Wow! I imagine your collection must be pretty vast!

@@ShowaShowcase yup keeps growing year by year

Sounds like you are an awesome teacher!

Right? I wish they gave his eyes more details...but it is Bandai afterall...

@@ShowaShowcase the original 1993 Bandai Hedorah had the correct eyes.... and YMSF has excellent Hedorah molds....

@ShowaShowcase btw just got a free YMSF castle model the one that Godzilla 62 and King King 62 smashed down

@@zhuangsaur227 would love to see that!

@@zhuangsaur227 I have tje 1993 Hedorah...and the eyes are the parts I like! 😅

I haven't dipped my toe into YMSF yet. How are they comparable to the standard Bandai? Many look very nice, and they seem to produce figures that Bandai hasn't touched yet. Are they expensive?

@ShowaShowcase yes. YMSF ALSO makes figures of Kaiju that Bandai may not yet make which is pretty unique such as for instance Manda 1968 or Varan 1968 or King Kong 1967 but sculpt and quality wise they are superior to Bandai

@@ShowaShowcase YMSF figures can be fairly pricey up to 50 to 60 to 70 USD before shipping

You sound like you might be a Mysterians enthusiast!

@@ShowaShowcase I was indeed I was! But because prior to my THIRD BANDAI MOGUERA 57 figure the first 2 either had no antennas or had a custom antenna installed haha

@@zhuangsaur227 I can see that being a big detractor. I'm a big Baragon enthusiast, and I get annoyed that all of my figures have paint wear on the tip of his horn, but it can be fixed with paint, so I can't imagine how I'd feel it would break off easily!

@@ShowaShowcase I still can't tell differences between 65 and 68 Baragon!!!

@@ShowaShowcase Ahahaha I got atleast 2 of the Bandai 1992 Baragon and also have the MMS Baragon from last year haha

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla from 1974.

It is a great figure!
