There was a pretty rare Biollante from Trendmasters quite a while ago. I
only saw the one at a Toys R Us when they were going for 21 bucks. ::SIGH::
I can still kick myself for not getting her then. It was one of those
figures that hand the shound chip inside and a motion sensor embedded in
its chest so it roared any time some one walked past it. Heh, that aisle
got to annoying after about 5 minutes. =)
Good luck trying to find one now though.

I thought Trendmasters never released the ten inch Battra, and Biollante's?
Maybe they will sell it on their page then when (if) they ever start selling
Classic G stuff gain. Take a hint, No one is buying those G98 toys! start
selling Classic G again :-)

I never saw a Battra figure during my initial and subsequent quests for the
mighty Godzilla.
Man I'd love for them to start reproducing that stuff. C'mon guys, get out those
molds and dust them off! WE WANT GODZILLA STUFF. Though I think I'm gonna get
some Bandai's here in a few weeks, just as soon as I can clear off 20 or so
bucks on my CC. =) But I'd still love to have a 10 inch Biollante. She's just
one of my fav characters.

Hmm. I'm not so sure I'd ever get around to putting it together. I LOVE putting
models together, the only problem is, I paint about as well as an aardvark does.
=) Don't get me wrong, if there's a solid color on the whole thing then i'm there
and done within a few days. But multiple colors, like B might have, well, let's
just say it wouldn't be a pretty sight. Heh.
Now that I've ranted about hta t abit, can you tell me about the color scheming on
it? If it's not too horribly complex (kaliedascope) I might be tempted to pick one
up if I ever find it.

Biollante...
This will end up as a cult inside-joke, a 10" Biollante report. =)

No inside joke Wolf. I most definantly recall seeing the bloody thing. It was
right in front of a Space G. It was one of the few who's battery had died and
would no longer make any sound. But it was there. Right next to the fairy pixie
weasels.

Well, I can offer concrete evidence that it exists, and so can Saiko of the Goji-world page.
We have actually had one for sale! It comes in Doom Island packaging and apparently was
only released in Asia. I didn't think to take a picture, but it does exist. I do still
have a TM Megalon and Baragon in Doom Island packaging that are totally different paint jobs
from the American release.

sounds horrible, but I enjoy setting the dioramas I place the kits in. I would
definately *not* suggest this kit if youre looking for something easy to paint.
There are tons of vines, teeth, etc. that all need work. :(
As for the price, when I purchased my M1 kit w/ the inscale Godzilla, it was
$250 (last year). From what I understand, that kit is now also out of
production. I seen the Kaiyodo kit only weeks ago for sale at $400 online.
Very expensive, but the kit has amazing detail and its sheer size make it
impressive and worth the money IMO!

Is it SO unfathomable that some how a few of them got shipped into the US where a

I trust you, but it's not concrete. It's still eyewitness, and such.
I imagine, though, you might have a receipt or something which would list
who has it now. Perhaps you could contact them and have a picture taken?

I do know for a fact that Toys'R'Us *advertised* a 'Godzilla Wars
Action Figures 10" light and sound poseable' Biollante because I am
looking at a copy of the ad that I saved (packrat that I am). I never
found one (but had a long chat with a TRU manager about advertising
things that they didn't sell). I always assumed that perhaps people
who reported seeing one and not buying it had in fact seen the ad and
then mis-remebered with the passage of time, but Sean's statement is
convincing. Still I would like to actually see a picture of one!
I don't have a scanner at home but could scan it a work if anyone
wants to see it.

As I've already mentioned to Sean in private e-mail, I should have been
more specific in my original post. Most Trendmasters collector's had heard
that this figure was released in Doom Island packaging overseas. My doubts
though are for those who claim to have seen this figure in Godzilla Wars
packaging on the shelves of Toys R Us on American shores.
As I told Sean, apparently several have seen it, but no one ever had the
cash to buy even one? Please.

Well Hauk, I do yield that according to the laws of chance I could be mistaken for
just having seen it in a paper. But that doesn't really seem to fit. This was all of 3
or so years ago and Biollante was the first non-classic G figure I'd ever seen so I
was a bit curious about it as I'd not seen it before. Hell, untill I found G vs B at a
specialty shop I never even knew that there were any more movies after 84. But,
thankfully to the wondersous invention, the computer and the internet, I now know an
INCREDIBLE deal more about that wonderful Toho Universe.
But that stuff aside, I still think I saw one. No, I cannot ever provide proof unless
at some point in the future time travel becomes possible, but I doubt that. So, I'll
just hold this bit of info in my mind and be one of the few who remember...
Hey, does this mean i'm elite now? =)
ADestroyah
and their neigbor has seen one, but no one has one!
Maybe it can be on an episode of X-Files...the toy that can only be seen and
not purchased..
What's the word on the ten inch Battra? Only released over seas? And if
Biollante was released for sale to the general public in Japan in Doom island
packaging, then shouldn't there be thousands of them around? Shouldn't be too
hard to find a dealer selling them..or you'de think one would have popped up on
e-Bay by now.

I think people may have seen the 6" with sound Biollante and now wishfully
remember
it as a 10" one.
The only dealers in Japan that i saw with Doom Island toys were ones from
Hong Kong,
so i'm not even sure if the Doom Island series made it to Japan. I think it
might have been
a local to Hong Kong only release to clean out the warehouses.
The real impossible item to find would be the Power-up Angilas which the
dealer i bought
Biollante from swore he had had before, and he insisted some of his dealer
friends had the
monsters vs. dinosaurs three packs!!
Now that is something that would be cool to see.

this is the thinking that will soon lead to everyone saying that they saw
Angilas
gathering dust at Toys-R-Us.
i have no doubt that you saw several different power-up figures, but i
highly doubt
that you saw either the Angilas or the Kumonga, in fact i would pay a
brand-new
$50 bill for one if you would pick one up for me.

Wow, so it really is rare?
I better get back to that Toys R Us and pray to the high Heavens that they are
still available. Correct me if I'm worng, but the power up figures are the ones
that come in the long boxes with snap on armor right?

Battra and Biolante. Too bad they're only selling 6 in figs : (

the prototype version (I saw it in person at one of the G-Cons). Also the Gigan
picture appears to be the Wave vinyl kit. My guess would be that the Space

you might of seen it but ,you would not of been able to buy it cuzz it's

for a large toy store company a while back and they pull schiesty moves

I know for a fact that TRU *advertised* the 10" light and sound
Biollante because I saved the ad and am looking at it right now. I've
often thought that it's possible some people seeing that ad might,
though time, mis-remember that they actually saw the figure. And, of
course, it's also possible if they were actually manufactured then
some made it here through a packing error. But I would also very much
like to see hard evidence it exists, tho Sean's statement is *very*
convincing.
At the time, I carried the ad with me and had a long conversation with
a TRU manager about advertising things they don't carry....
I don't have a scanner at home but could scan it at work and post the
ad if anyone wants to see it.

Those shouldn't be too hard to find. Actually, the mecha-ghidrah and

Even more curious about the 10" MechaGodzilla--it appears to be a remake
of one of the Bandai DX series. While I've not been able to directly compare
the two, they appear to be nearly identical sculpts, with the main exception
being the exclusion of the Garuda on the TM version. (TM sold it as a separate
piece, and incorporated firing missiles into the craft.) The two versions
share the same interchangable back plate to accomodate the Garuda.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what that piece was for (I thought there
might have been a Garuda somewhere out there). But I do have MechaG and it
does indeed come with an interchangable back plate.
Now any one know where I can find Garuda?

I haven't seen a Garuda at a KB or a KB Toy Liquidators or a TRU

were up to the ten dollar area. Last time one sold over there, it went
for more than $20 if memory serves me correctly.
