    The eldest son’s bedroom had quite the collection of vinyl, and whilst I have yet to go back and do a screen shot to assess the TWIM pink bomber man was the first thing that caught my eye. I wonder whose collection in real life it really was or a case of a set decorator hitting up a store like Toy Tokyo and buying a bunch of figures just to decorate the room.

    Yeah - I saw someone's ig post when the limited release of the film occurred and they screenshot the collection: spotted a GID v2 Cococroc,....it looked like a pretty eclectic & substantial collection

    A company I worked for sold vintage IT equipment and we got hit up quite frequently by production companies but based on the shot from that movie scene they either rented out the pieces or paid significant $.

    I love seeing toys in movies and shows and videos and such. Owl City’s “Fireflies” has a decent amount of Max Toy Co. featured throughout, and while not everyone’s cup of tea, a character in the show Dexter had a substantial Squadt collection by Playge in his apartment. There’s others, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head. I’d like to see a screen of this as well, though I do intend to see this movie at some point.

    There was a guy who posted on the board a while back scouting toys for the movie. He was asking makers to submit their toys and then a prop stylist was choosing the toys I think. Don’t know if they purchased the toys or if they were loaned though.

    Here's a link to the 5-second clip of the son's room.

    I spy a delicious, red Daimajin on the right, and a couple of Gojis on the left.

    Great work on the video and photo.

    To up the nerd ante, if the film takes place in 2012, how many of the figures are anachronistic?

    The movie's called Guns Akimbo and it's scheduled to hit US screens at the end of this month.

    Wow, two films looking for kaiju back drops. Interesting.

    The toys in Guns Akimbo are in Radcliffe's apartment but the lighting is very dark in those scenes, the toys are in the background are not in focus.

    Glad someone was able to grab a screenshot! Such a great movie.

    Immediately was wondering who's toy collection it was when I saw it. The collection is so eclectic which leads me to believe it's real rather than props put together for the movie. Who would go out of their way to get TWIM toys for the movie when they could've gone all Ron English? :lol:

    In terms of being accurate to 2012 they missed the boat, Kaws Passing Thru came out 2018 I believe.

    I asked a friend who knows the Safdie brothers to reach out about this scene, and Joshua Safdie replied with this:

    Immediately spotted the collection while viewing the film. My first thought was that the son's collection came from TT.

    This was moderately interesting to see, but was honestly such a split second scene I think almost no one (in the general public) would catch it, let alone make any kind of connection with the bs materialistic lifestyle/hype chasing this is supposed to allude to. It's probably just toys in a kid's room to most [contrasted with the GA scene, which I thick achieves the affect much better]. I mean, full props to the filmmakers for going there, and a great shout for TT, but at the end of the day - sad as it may seem - a wall of sneakers would probably have hit home a lot more. Much like the film itself, still trying to piece out whether this has any deeper value than moderately interesting quirk.

    Thanks for this tidbit.

    Personally I loved the film. Bless you Safdie brothers.

    Just seen the film.

    Worried that you nerds are obsessing on the 5 seconds of plastic dolly's rather than Julia Fox's gravity defying ass, the WTF ending or the fact that Adam Sandler finally made a film that didn't actually suck!

    He did some nice work for Baumbach just a couple of years ago - check him out in The Meyerowitz Stories, Netflixable at this very moment.

    A gem, indeed. No touching.

    Yup! It's all in the crick of the elbows and the pornographic spread of his four little toesies.

    I'm probably dumb for not expecting this Easter egg, but I was surprised to see a Goji toy in a Goji movie.

    Classic J-Tail in "All Monsters Attack", 1969.
