If you are talking about NECA, their license only allows them to do Godzilla figures.

Check out NECA's line of the same Predator mold but this time it has BLOOD or GLOWS IN THE DARK.

Well yeah, they need to keep costs down so they aren't forced to raise their prices. And personally I don't have an issue with the reuse of Preds molds. They more than make up with it with their news deco and accesories. Previous Kenner series aside.

And since they're making a new Ultimate version for both JH and CH, the new figures will also have the improved articulation.

Adam Wingard is slated to direct Godzilla vs King Kong. I can't imagine how his sensibilities will translate to giant monster action but at least we know the sound design will be top notch.

Supposed timeline of the events that led towards the animated movie

■[1] 05-1999 United States, New York-Boston area witnessed the appearance of the first of the giant organisms [Kaiju] named: Kamacuras. Estimated number of casualties: 2.5 million people.
It appeared suddenly out of the sea from the upper New York bay area. In 72 hours upon landing, it moved 330 kilometers northeast, destroying every area in its path. In retaliation, the Air Force used laser guided underground piercing bombs [Bunker Busters] against it.
※ The leading theory to explain the appearance of the Kaiju is the sudden change in the global environment.

■[2] 09-2002 United Kingdom, London-Manchester. The appearance of the Kaiju Dogora. Estimated number of casualties: 3.9 million people.

■[3] 11-2005 People's Republic of China, Tianjin-Beijing. The appearance of the Kaiju Rodan and Anguirus. Estimated number of casualties: 8.2 million people.

Some entries seem to be allusions to other things as well. Like the 2017 one feels like a nod to Pacific Rim or Godzilla making his fist appearance on San Francisco.

Oh poo poo, King of The Monsters will film here on Mexico City this weekend

quote:

In the last three weeks, Mexican technicians have compelled themselves to the construction of an airplane that will be featured in Godzilla in the Historic Center of Mexico City, next week.

For three weeks, Santo Domingo, on the first square of the capital, will be part of the new movie of the Japanese monster directed by Michael Dougherty, Krampus director, and X-Men writer.

�It seems the airplane will be destroyed,� said a source from production.

Up to now, Mexico City Film Commission (Comisi�n de Filmaciones de la Ciudad de M�xico) and the Local Secretariat of Culture (Secretar�a de Cultura local) have not disclosed any information.

According to the traffic light promoted by the Commission, Godzilla will be a high impact production ( red color) due to its location.

From Saturday, August 19 to Tuesday, August 22, a series of vehicular closures will be made in the Historic Center of Mexico City due to the filming of Godzilla: King of Monsters.

Godzilla vs. Kong will have definite 'winner,' says director

Who will emerge victorious from Godzilla vs. Kong? We don�t know. But director Adam Wingard (You�re Next, The Guest) is insistent that someone � or something � will be the clear winner when his monster match-up of outsized lizard and giant ape arrives on screens, May 22, 2020.

�I do want there to be a winner,� the filmmaker told EW on Friday, during a visit to New York. �The original film (1962�s King Kong vs. Godzilla) was very fun, but you feel a little let down that the movie doesn�t take a definitive stance. People are still debating now who won in that original movie, you know. So, I do want people to walk away from this film feeling like, Okay, there is a winner.�

Wingard also spoke about his recent visit to the Atlanta set of filmmaker Michael Doughterty�s move Godzilla: King of the Monsters. �It was really cool,� said the director. �Part of me just wanted to go there and see what a $200 million � or whatever it�s costing � movie liked like. And I was kind of relieved to see that, at a certain point, movies can only get so big. That�s kind of what I got from it. It was really educational, just from that perspective. Mike was really nice. I�d never met him before. I walked up to him on set and he was taking pictures of one of the props or something, and he was laughing with somebody, and I was like, �Oh, this was really encouraging, to see that you�re smiling and looking happy!� Because he was halfway through that production, so he could have been in horrible shape.�

eh, Zack Snyder is a talented cinematographer who directs movies based on properties that have strong pre-existing fanbases, turning them into bland but pretty summer blockbuster popcorn flicks that the main public flock to, but in turn alienate that same original fanbase. It's kinda formulaic at this point.

"Blad but pretty blockbuster popcorn flick" is the last term I'd use to describe Snyder films.

So, you guys remember the comic that put Kong as Batman and Godzilla as Superman?

The third issue of the comic prequel/sequel to Skull Island revealed the origin of Kong and well...
