    Trumpzilla - New Presidential Monster spotted at Mego Meet

    Mark Huckabone gave me a peek at Trumpzilla at Mego Meet. It is part of a game where you have to throw thing over the wall. He is shown here holding a bus with a Mexican flag. Also had a picture of King Kong version of Chris Christie, but I didn't get a photo of it. Release date is still being worked out.

    I'd like to see that King Kong Christie, being from NJ and all.
    Expectation is the death of discovery.

      That's awesome. Is it an eight inch figure?

          Trumpzilla looked to be in the 8" scale. I didn't specifically ask Mark about the other figures, but I think he wanted to focus on more current political figures. He also mentioned Rudy Giuliani. Hopefully someone else asked him more specific questions.

            I must say I'm shocked...so much time has passed since the first seven figures I thought the entire line was dead years ago.

            If I remember correctly the unreleased figures included Spirit of '76, Jacksferatu, Dr. Franklinstein, Al-Gore, Eisenhowler, Yeti Roosevelt, Hillvira, Van Palin, Martian Van Buren, and Romney the Robot.

              I mostly asked what was going on and got a behind the scenes. The delays are caused by a change in one of the principles. I'm actually hoping to do a special figure with Mark.

                  I saw this, I can't see it being a big seller, but what boggles my mind is that there's clearly a desire for a re-release of some of the others, the Abe figure in particular, so why not redo a few of those before hopping into new stuff?

                    ^Yes, and what about the other TEN figures that were shown and have said coming soon for the last six years?

                        Big fan of the first wave, bought them all at first sight. Have been looking forward to the second wave for, what, five years now?



                        I'm pretty much at this point:






                        Of course, I'm still hoping for this:

                          The only thing, the other Prez monsters are generic public domain "legends"

                          I think Toho would go after Trumpzilla (that's if it was released without permission)

                          Just thinking

                            Toho is extremely litigious but I don't think they could do much here. The "....zilla" suffix has been used so much over the years, that I don't think they can enforce anything there. Plus this would probably be protected by laws allowing use in parody. And finally, Toho usually goes after monster items that copy Godzilla's distinctive back fins, the clever dollar signs used here instead should make it safe in that regard.
