@ Mikee, cool work man. I love painted flesh guys.

@ David, I would say there is no reason to be jealous, but that would be a lie. This guy really is an unbelievable little piece of toy craftsmanship. Fun and beauty all in one. I heart Sebben!

The little tags mean anything?

From the few M1-go that I have some came with those little green tags.

They were/are redeemable for special order stuff directly from M1 (like the bygone 'points' they used to have on action figure packages). I am not sure they are still doing them or not, as only some of the releases have them, and the few I have are all on the older figures.

For some of the double-packed guys (e.g. Gargantuas) they came loose in the bag which is nice, but can be a pain on some of the individual older ones, because the elastic can melt or degrade with heat and time and stick to the figures.

Thanks for the heads up on the melting, as it is mine are not touching the figs.

Good to know, I didnt think much of it, but it did make me curious as to why they would have them.

Man, me too! Mine's only been here for a few hours but I've wanted one since the very second I first laid eyes on the picture at Mike's site. AMAZING in Hand. I particularly like the gigantic backing card he came packaged with:

The artwork of the conceptual Godzilla design is really fantastic, you are right. The 'maquette' version is so different and appealing in its own right. I think the M1 sculpt came out fantastically, and would be just thrilled to see more companies take on this version. (this will always be the first choice of course) I almost wish this were from an Godzilla film hidden away all these years that was unearthed. Looking at the detail and creativity of the design - there really was nothing like this before - and the poor damsel clutched in his claws, pure mastery.

or some lost stop motion advance test footage at the very least!

that card is fangtastic!

wasn't this image used for a cover of Monster Times mid/late 1970's?

^^^ Our favorite lizard was on the cover of Monster Times more than once, but I don't believe that they ever used that exact image. You're probably remembering the newsprint colors:

That reminded me that the first ever issue of Fangoria used the poster for that bizzaro colorized and recut version of King of the Monsters that Luigi Cozzi put together for the Italian market in '77:

What a lovely montage David. The only thing better than seeing all the variations in the Goji design throught the years is seeming them in toy form. And when they are executed by the skill of M1's Yuji, well, it is as close to aesthetic perfection as I could hope for. Heck, even the Heisei guys give me pause and set doubt upon my convictions.
