"A picture's worth a thousand words." This saying may be most appropriate about vinyl kaiju than perhaps any other line of toys, the reason being that they don't DO anything at all. They just look awesome. More awesome in some cases than others. And if there is a case of a vinyl toy looking more awesome than this one, I've yet to see it.

M-1's Titanosaurus is a masterpiece, plain and simple. I could tell you that it's 9.5" tall or that it has 6 points of articulation. I could tell you it's a great sculpt with an unbelievable paint job (especially around the eyes and teeth). I could tell you it comes bagged with a header card. I'll simply tell you that this is one of my favorite toys.

Surprisingly, I actually held this toy in my hands about three years before owning it and wasn't very impressed. My friend who showed it to me was incredulous and now I understand why. It's simply a matter of changing tastes, I suppose.

The specimen pictured here is a re-release. The first version came with a mini MechaGodzilla. At least 6 other versions in various paint sprays exist.
