We are just 1 week away from the release of the highly anticipated Godzilla 2014 film. So of course TokuNation would like to take another look at the merchandise released so far to celebrate this movie. And this piece of merch is indeed special!

You may recall that on December 28th 2013 we reported on the existence of this Light & Sound Godzilla kit. You may also have noticed that at the request of Warner Bros/Legendary on the same day, the leaked images of this figure were removed from our site. This hilarious incident has forever re-branded this figure as Cease & Desist Godzilla around the staff forums. It’s also known as the incident where I, first got us “lawyered”. Good times!

As for the figure, it’s a rather simple but fun piece with limited articulation but a decent light & sound gimmick. A sticker book containing various images of the new Godzilla is also included. Originally it was reported to be a mini-history book of Godzilla over the past 60 years. Sadly this is not the case in the final product

The boys of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back at it with the release of their 9th episode, Attack of the No No Cat (blame Tom for that one). Join your hosts Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu) as they touch on a number of topics from last week in the world of tokusatsu!

Some of the hot topics discussed – their reactions on the international trailer for the new Godzilla movie, their thoughts on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic from Free Comic Book Day and just why Saban Brands did nothing to promote it (as well as some behind-the-scenes knowledge in the world of comics from our very own Sentai Tamashii, who works a freelance colorist and has done jobs for Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics), some good old fashioned toy talk with Kachidoki Arms and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, and the usual show talk of Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQGer. But there’s even more stuff that’s discussed throughout the episode, including the No No Cat, spooky haunted microphones and/or alien contact, follow up on our last toy debate on Tamashii Nations and Super Sentai Figuarts, and so much more. Take a listen below!

Kickback also discusses the Fruit Henshin Contest and some details of the upcoming crossover episode with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast scheduled for later this month. All the show details are below – do us a favor and click “Discuss” and share your thoughts! Till next time!

“A monster? No. A god”

This powerful line sets the tone for this new international/Asian trailer for Legendary’s 2014 Godzilla. If you thought you’d had a good look of the titular beast before, then be prepared to be spoiled with even more shots of this monster! As well as a wealth of new footage of the Muto creature!

Godzilla destroys theaters May 16th.

Meanwhile Super Special Weapons Set 2 includes the Super X3 from Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, four Maser Guns, four Maser Beam Tanks, three Maser Attack Aircraft, Tamashii stage and two scaled buildings. This set costs a slightly higher 3240 yen.

Courtesy of 2chan, we’ve got images of new S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla accessory sets!  One is solely for effects parts, including a blast with an explosion at the end of it and what looks to be another redeco of the existing Godzilla breath effect. The other is all about G-Force, which even seems to include the Super X-III from, from Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.

Both are set for a September release! 2916 yen for Corresponding Effects 2, 3240 yen for Super Weapon Effects 2.

The month of May can’t come soon enough! And for those of you who enjoy a little monster in your toy collecting, you’re well aware that the Godzilla 2014 toy line is available at retail.

After seeing some prototypes in the last month NECA has finally unveiled their 2014 Godzilla in all it’s glory!

This beast is about 6″ tall measured from head to foot, and 12″ long from head to tail. This formidable beast is the first really nice representation of the character we’ve seen so far in toy form. Featuring 25 points of articulation including a bendable tail this bad boy looks to be the figure to beat until the eventual S.H. Monsterart is released!

Undoubtedly the one franchise that seems to pump out the most movie inspired Halloween costumes in recent years, has been Transformers. But it looks like they’re about to be joined by Godzilla in that department. Just revealed via official images from Warner Bros. Consumer Products is the Godzilla 2014 Costume & “Transforming” Godzilla Hoodie. 

The Godzilla Costumes, by Rubies, include a rubber/latex mask and a spandex body suit. They come in both child and adult sizes. The hoodie features a”transforming” feature allowing you to zip the hood fully closed around your head to create a Godzilla “mask’.

Thanks to Godzilla Movies for providing the images.
