I tweeted Randy to find out if it's the prototype or a production sample, hopefully he'll respond.

Broke and happy
That's got to be a proto, looks really good.
It would probably benefit from a wash, but, NECA did such a good job of paint on Pacific Rim, I figure Godzilla's flat paint, which is universal over all figures of Godzilla 2014, is true to the source without getting into dirt and weathering which few companies will do and is up to customization.

Yea I get that, but I think I might get the smaller one, do a repaint of it and if I like it I'll get the bigger one and repaint that. Even if it's not film accurate the figure itself will look better. Still excited to see more figures though.

At this point, just judging by those pics, I'd be fine with the 6 inch one and maybe having someone with talent kind of bring out the texture a bit more. The eyes look very good there (and that's a big deal for this Godzilla figure). So I'm hoping it translates.
That NECA 6" also looks great -- which means the 24" will be even, uh... greater. Can't wait!

Thanks. This is my second favorite look next to the 73-75 Godzilla.
Oh my! I wonder what that is going to cost? Another thing on my "to buy" list!
The GMK was around $300 excluding shipping (which was $90-ish). I'm going to guess that since this one is taller we can expect to pay up to an additional $50 for the figure itself, plus around $110-$120 for postage.

I need that Godzilla. Neeeeeed.
If anyone plans on getting that 95 ; they best do it on the ground floor because the aftermarket will certainly be at least double the initial cost
This. The gigantic GMK skyrocketed in value before it was even released. By the time preorders shipped out in December, people who wanted to place in-stock orders were paying up to $200 above MSRP. The cheapest one I can find online right now is $950 and you can imagine that Burning Godzilla, being arguably more iconic, taller, and less-stylized than the GMK, will shoot up even higher and faster. That will need to be a day one preorder out of necessity.
I just checked my registrations on 2 sites . I'm ready to go . A couple days ago I seen the GMK for 850.00. I'll never own him unless I get a crazy good deal from someone.
Gigantic Burning Godzilla Preorder is up! Get it while it's hot
He is a little cheaper on AmiAmi than on hobbylink
Only ordered one thing off AmiAmi and that was because HobbySearch had sold out of their '99 Gamera preorders. Smooth experience, pretty much the same procedure as HobbySearch for anyone who usually goes with them. Doesn't seem like HS sells the gigantic stuff though.

Thanks for the head's up on the 1995 Godzilla! And especially thank you for the links! I got mine pre-ordered through HLJ. When I learned of the announcement, I knew I definitely didn't want to miss out of this one. Never have been a big fan of the GMK design, but the 95 Godzilla is awesome! However, I'm tempted to seek out the Ric version if it becomes available too!
