It’s late – why is news still breaking?! Check out this first look at the upcoming Jakks Pacific Large Scale 2014 Godzilla Figure! The image is brought to you courtesy of the guys at IDW Publishing! Special thanks to our friends at @InfiniteEarths on Twitter for the heads up!
Online retailer ToyWiz has updated with several new photos of the action figure series for Legendary Pictures’ upcoming “Godzilla” revival!
Of particular note is a figure named “Winged Muto,” which may be the secret enemy monster that filmmakers had refused to confirm in official interviews.
All of ToyWiz’s Godzilla 2014 figures are listed as shipping in April but there have been some reports of stores breaking this street date and putting Godzilla toys on shelves now. If you’ve been lucky enough to find any Godzilla 2014 merchandise in stores, feel free to share in our Toy Sightings Forum and help out your fellow collectors!
This little bit of news slipped by us apparently. Dread Central has acquired images of Bandai’s of America upcoming Atomic Roar Godzilla figure from the Godzilla 2014 Film. And this figure gives us our first good look at what the big man will look like in toy form.
The roar gimmick appears to be activated by leaning Godzilla forward, bending at the hips, causing him to roar. Fortunately the atomic fire breath appears to be included, inside of Godzilla’s throat, on a spring! Credit to sister site ToyArk for the tip.
During a special screening today in London, director Gareth Edwards presented roughly 20 minutes of footage from the upcoming “Godzilla” film. The few critics lucky enough to see this footage have given near-universal appraisal, suggesting a very promising return for the King of the Monsters!
While we will try to avoid major spoilers, the footage contains five very interesting scenes:
*The first clip involves Bryan Cranston’s character in a nuclear power plant, then the second cuts to 15 years later with Cranston trying to deal with the fallout of that incident. Both scenes highlight Cranstons’ impressive talents as a dramatic performer.
*Scene number 3 is the official reveal of Godzilla, said to be the largest incarnation of the character to date (over 350 feet tall according to Edwards). The report from BleedingCool sums up Godzilla nicely: “What I will say is that he honestly looks magnificent. They nailed this.”
*The final two scenes involve military personnel reacting to Godzilla’s arrival, with special emphasis on the HALO Jump sequence featured in both major trailers.
Finally, the major critics that had a chance to view this test footage have all been “sworn to secrecy” regarding at least one plot point in this film. Could that mean another monster appearance? A secret twist on the origins of Godzilla? We’ll have to wait until May 16 to find out!
Check out the full breakdown of test footage via the critical perspectives at:

Fans of Godzilla were blown away by the magnificent new trailer that went online this week, and now the film’s director Gareth Edwards has ]sat down with Empire Magazine to offer several special insights regarding the trailer and drops some key hints about the film!
Edwards describes the story as “Man VS Nature” centered from the perspective of a family divided by natural disasters. The film supposedly contains a number of very emotional moments within the expected action sequences-“If you don’t get close to tearing up in this film, then I’ve failed” says Edwards.
The full breakdown can be viewed HERE via Empire Online.
There are several other hints and suggestions to the overall plot of the movie, which we will not reveal here out of respect for those who want to go in unaware. Godzilla premieres in theaters May 16!
If you thought the king of monsters would only be in CG this year then you were wrong!
In a pretty off the wall commercial for Snickers candy bars, we see an actual “classic” Godzilla suit used, even though it’s promoting the 2014 reboot movie featuring the CG redesign of Godzilla! Watch the full 46 second commercial to see Godzilla, riding ATV’s, playing Ping Pong, Pranking his friends, picking up the ladies, water skiing, destroying the city, and enjoying a tasty snickers bar!
