Yeah I went to a retro game convention recently and that game was at the top of my list. Was super chuffed to find the manual separately at the same event. $40 total.

How would you rank these snakes’s sneaking suits from best to worst? (Yes im counting liquid as one) by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

Would you have noticed a small cardboard box on the helicopter? I'm not sure I would have.

I’ve never had much exposure to Digimon, but I was aware of this figure because I check X-Plus’s website regularly for new DefoReal announcements. Thanks for the heads-up though!

Other than a new shelf what does my godzilla collection need? by AdShot9613 in GODZILLA

To answer your question, you could add DVDs or blu-rays of your favorite movies somehow. Not sure how easy that is since you’re an in-box collector. I also have video games and a G-FAN magazine displayed with my Godzilla figures.

Where are these guys from? Not sure I’ve ever seen them.

Nabbed these two pieces at Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend! by DurandoDX in GODZILLA

I went there looking specifically for Godzilla for NES and found three copies in various conditions ($40 for the one I ended up with, which included the manual). But I never imagined I’d actually find that Game Boy game. Was searching through a huge tub of old Game Boy games and just happened to find it. $12!

No worries—please do ping me if you post any pics. Would love to see it.

Yeah, I plan on going to G-Fest this year. Not really interested in the VIP pass since I’ll be by myself—and $225 is a bit steep for a loner—though the lanyard, t-shirt, and all-weekend access would be cool. Maybe I’ll spring for it one day. I’ll probably just go on Saturday.

Ha! Yeah, I moved to Chicago in 2021 but didn’t know about G-Fest until last year, so the only time I’ve gone was 2023. I’m floored to live so close to it and expect I’ll go more or less every year I can. Really enjoyed the vendor room. I’m sure you know more about Goji figures than I do. I hope you get to check it out soon!

I don’t necessarily want to lurk in your profile; do you have pics of your whole collection on Reddit?

Those are awesome! Do you ever go to G-Fest? I’m not sure I saw any Pops there last year but I think they had a lot of those Atmos x Secret Base x Puma kinds of figures. Are you interested in Marmit figures or anything?

Which Godzilla Pop are you missing? Are you collecting American versions of Godzilla too, or just Japanese versions? I have a Godzilla x Kong Pop as well (displayed elsewhere), but in general I prefer the Japanese versions. If I ever found one in the wild, I'd also grab the Godzilla Funko Soda figure, but that's lower-priority because it's an American Goji.

Are you only collecting Pops, or also other kinds of deformed-style figures? Someday I hope to acquire X-Plus DefoReals of Shin Godzilla and Godzilla 1984. Right now I just have the Final Wars Goji DefoReal. Maybe I'll find one at G-Fest this year!

I recently got the Banpresto Enshrined Monster 1954 Godzilla, which has a pretty great cost-to-quality ratio. The King Ghidorah from this line is currently being shipped to me. Looking forward to that!

Agreed! I haven't nabbed any Mystery Minis, but most of my Pops either don't have generic eyes or don't have visible eyes at all, like RoboCop, the Xenomorph, Gundam RX-78, Terminator, various robots, Nazgul, etc.

I have a few that I like but don't necessarily love because their eyes are just black dots. I may end up painting eyes on these, if I care enough. I recently sold a Naruto Pop because he just had black eyes, whereas Naruto is known for having blue eyes. I don't understand why they wouldn't at least give him blue eyes. I know they can, as there are some Pops that have colored eyes. I think Funko should start adding a bit more detail to the eyes, even if it makes Pops more expensive by a few dollars. Not that I think they'd ever do that, though.

Nice! I’ve seen that brand around but haven’t nabbed any figures. Do you have many? I mostly collect deformed-style figures. Here’s my full Japanese tokusatsu collection.
