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!
