Yeah they are really going at it, I believe the Amhuluk in particular was a passion project for the main man there, Attichai.

I thought the Kong paint looked very monotone, but he responded with a pic showing there was more going on there than it initially seemed. Think the grey background washed it out a bit.

P1 showed some new pics of the Godzilla portion of their dio. It confirms that Godzilla will have swap out head and arms, giving him a totally different pose. I have to say that I am liking this pose much better than the other, and it has renewed my interest in this piece. Kong is definitely still a go(unless the price is ludicrous $3.5k+), but now Godzilla is back on my radar.

Interestingly, the PO's are happening at different times. So far we know the Godzilla portion will go up in April, and Kong in May, with no mention of Mothra. Will it even be sold as a complete set, or will it be up to the collector to complete the dio? Looking forward to seeing the pricing of Godzilla, hopefully very early in April, as it should inform on the Kong piece as well.

I have to agree, it's much nicer with the alternate head/arms.

Anyone recall Spiral mentioning making a GMK Baragon?

[SparkyMW]

I'm hoping they have a similar surprise in store for the Kong piece.

I can't recall any mention of Baragon, however it wouldn't really be on my radar so if it was brought up it may not stick out in my mind either.

I like all the "crawlers" well four legged kaiju in general. My favorite in Anguirus. REALLY want to see him in the Monsterverse..aside from a corpse. Just sitting in a theater and hearing that roar..man..I'd get nostalgia shivers. lol

The final Kong variation was officially revealed today. Behold, Kong! Weaponized Suko version.

Got this Star Ace Kong 24 yesterday. He isn't perfect, they obviously weren't too concerned with screen accuracy(specifically the portrait and coloring) however it is still kind of cool. In a Godzilla world Kong fans are beggars not choosers. Looking forward to lining him up against the Spiral and X Plus version.

Couple more drops, male Muto and Warbat. The regular Muto's I never found to be that intriguing, probably not on my radar. Warbat looks pretty cool but not much attachment to them. Think they only appeared briefly in GvsK.

All of these are going up for PO on the 31st. I believe that is 8 separate pieces now, and we could see more yet. Scylla and pre evolved Godzilla 24 have both recently been teased in completed form. It seems strange that they would offer them all up for PO at the same time. I think lots of collectors will be picking and choosing rather than just buying all of them which they may have done had they been spread out. Someone was speculating that Spiral may be up against a deadline for license renewal of some kind. Seems plausible. Anyhow, as I mentioned before I am happy that this will clear out the log jam of releases they seemed to have so they can focus on some new items. They need to make a King Ghidorah in this scale, in my opinion.

Another drop yesterday, and this one was a total surprise! Skullcrawler from Kong Skull Island! This one came out of left field and is most welcome. I will definitely be buying it.
