While Bandai America does have the master toy license for Godzilla, Nothing could be shown to media at the Toy Fair. Sure, they had a room with black curtians with people guarding it, but no entry was permitted. It reminded me of those back rooms in video stores if you know what I mean. The room was for buyers who wanted to see the merchandise they were considering ordering.
I did talk to the brand manager for a bit though, and here's what I could squeeze out of him:
- Classic Vinyl line will continue through movie with 6" and 12" offerings.
- New movie Godzilla will be in 6" vinyl but NOT 12". Larger sizes will be reserved for proper release.
- Images of Godzilla toys are under media embargo until March 17th. So after that expect to see a flood of images.
That's all we have. Check back on the 17th of March to see all the images we can get our hands on!

The image has been Embargoed but there was no hiding the tail or tip of his nose and legs.

The toys are out. The vinyls are just the recent ones they already released, in new 2014 packaging.
If this is what the Big BOA Godzilla looks like, then I don't have high hopes for the smaller two.
That leaves me looking forward to the BOA micro playsets, Chibis, both Neca Godzillas, the upcoming MonsterArts, whatever else BOJ releases, and that little Godzilla that comes with the book. Jakks Pacific Godzilla is nice, but it's far bigger than what I'd like to own.
