Godzilla 2019 coming from SEGA, looks fantastic, will definitely be getting one.
This looks big. How big is it?
Sega figures like that are around 4-5" tall, usually come with a simple display base.
This was the Shin version.
This was the Anime version.
I generally see them run around $35 on eBay.

Picked these up on my way to work today.
It’s so exciting to just walk into a store and have Godzilla items readily available.

I am getting all but the atomic ray Godzilla, not a variant I need, but I wanted a 12" of the 2019 design and don't see NECA doing one right now, and I got the 6" Ghidorah because it comes with a little city dio that's meant to be Boston and Fenway Park and includes the Monarch aircraft, and I got the Godzilla vs Ghidorah set because that has a illustration meant to be Fenway and plus I have a 4" scale Godzilla collection of my favorites and want 2019 in that.
Right now I'm waiting on Bandai MMS Ghidorah and the NECA figures.
Closes confirmation I've seen is GameStop has Godzilla listed for May 10, but also lists Atomic Godzilla and Rodan for August, no Mothra, but she's presumably May as well since she and Godzilla are wave 1.

I recently picked up some explosion effects to spruce up my display. They are a lot of fun! I have some ideas for customizing the orange explosions to make them look more realistic but not sure when I’ll have time to actually work on it. Even so, they look pretty cool straight outta the package.

They work pretty well with the vinyl since they're so big. I didn't realize how large the explosions were.
Thanks for the info, wished it was sooner than May. The last time I was this hyped about a figure was the 24" HTT Neca Godzilla 2014.
Waiting to see in-hand photos of Bandai Japan's 2019 offerings. I dig the size and sharpness of the details on the 9" MK version, but prefer the proportions and pose on the 6" version.
Of course, all of this could very well become moot as soon as X-Plus puts their Gigantic figure up for order.

Here's a bit of a review of the JAKKS offerings, limited to only what I bought.
- Godzilla vs King Ghidorah Pack
- 6" King Ghidorah
- 12" Godzilla
Rather than review individual items, I'm gonna to give my thoughts on each character as they're pretty consistent across the board.
GHIDORAH
The overall design of the poses and such look good, the detailing is a bit soft, but overall they're sharp looking figures. As far as scaling with other figures, the 6" is too small compared to NECA figures and is probably closest in scale to 4" Godzilla, which makes the 4" Ghidorah too out of scale for anything. The 4" Ghidorah does look pretty good in a flying pose, so I'm going to rig up some sort of stand to put it on to have that on display.
My big issue with both, more so on the 4", is the wing articulation. On the 4", mine doesn't hold pose at all, either you put them all the way up or all the way down which is too far down, horribly week hinge. The 6" isn't much better, though it does hold a position, even though it's not the one I'd want. I'm going to wait to see ultimately what I do for a display but I may be using some super glue or something to lock them in place.
GODZILLA
The 4" version was a big surprise to me, pictures and videos made it look like he'd be made of some sort of hard plastic and had less detail than the Destruction pack figure from 2014, I was pleasantly surprised to find it made of the same sort of PVC material as the 2014 figures and more detailed than I'd expected. What's interesting is how much longer the 2019 Godzilla tail is comparatively to the 2014. The 12" figure is exactly what I'd hoped for, it is slightly shorter than the NECA 2014, and details not as sharp, but it works well as a companion piece I feel, the only issue I take with it would be the ill placed screw holes, which I may do something about. I love the teeth, if only the NECA's teeth had come out as nice.
Given the wing issues with Ghidorah, I question how good the Rodans are, even though his wings are smaller, but it makes me feel better I wasn't that interested in Mothra or Rodan from JAKKS, but I am curious to see if we eventually get a 6" scale Mothra and Godzilla, making only Ghidorah and Rodan seems odd, unless they were in contact with NECA and did Ghidorah to fill a void of sorts and made Rodan so it wasn't just a solo figure, very peculiar part of the JAKKS line.

Some in hand pictures from godzillaworld2019 on instagram.
Speak of the devil. Not as bothered by the smaller head on the 9" Godzilla, but those arms are massive.
Bandai vinyls give Legendary Godzilla larger arms, even the 2014 did.
The 2014 Bandai figure also had a ridiculously tiny head. I don't think the toy companies nor the film's artists changed the head proportions very much.
Not much change.
Don’t go by toys.
