      Getting off topic, my buddy sculpted a Pickman's model piece a few years back:

      I had never seen the show prior to that.

            I picked up bootleg copies of "Godzilla Vs Megalon" and "Godzilla Vs Biollante" online recently, and they landed today. I'm now three movies away from having all of Godzilla's films. I originally set out to just pick up all the Showa Era films ("Gojira" to "Terror of Mechagodzilla"), but I snagged a few good deals on enough of the Heisei and Millenium Era films that I just figured I might as well get all of them.

                Those are probably the recent BanDai vinyl figures. I've spotted the Godzilla locally at K-Mart but have yet to see Hedorah. I'm trying very hard not to start actively collecting kaiju vinyl toys. I'd love to have a collection of them, but I just don't need to spend the money on them right now.

                  ^^^ Me too, but those two are very retro looking, even with the metallic paints on them.

                    Brian,
                    I believe he's referring to a little film entitled Dracula Vs Frankenstein aka"ASSIGNMENT TERROR".
                    I saw it in the dollar bin at Rite Aid too.That movie RULES it's awesome you got it!
                    A favorite of both palitoy and myself(i have the awesome Spanish poster for that!)
                    The movie is goofy as hell ...but in the best possible way!
                    And to me,the makeup/costumes of the monsters strongly resemble Mego's Mad Monsters.

                    Definitely the Mummy who looks EXACTLY like the Mego figure!!
                    The Human Wolfman wd have to be like one of Naschy's roles in one of the later films like Werewolf and the Yeti or The Craving aka Night of the Werewolf to be a close representation,but the Dracula in the movie as well as the Frankenstein monster also CLOSELY resemble the Mego MM's.
                    (Brian we've talked about this...Frankenstein w big honkin' eyebrows LOL!
                    The similarity is happenstance and probably unrelated but this movie WAS out before MM's were available....so you never know.)
                    This is a fun,trashy early 70's monster bash film featuring Michael Rennie slumming it at the end of his career(I believe this was his last film)
                    and Spanish horror legend Paul Naschy in one of his many Waldemar Daninsky Werewolf films.
                    The whole cycle of his werewolf films are ALOT of fun but definitely check out Assignment Terror aka Dracula Vs. Frankenstien for the Mego
                    similarities.

                      Collecting those are very addictive, take it from one who knows. On the plus side, many of them are inexpensive. What 3 Godzilla movies do you still need? I'm still trying to complete a set of Godzilla DVDs myself, but I'm only about halfway there.

                        I still need to get :
                        Godzilla 1985
                        Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah 1991
                        Godzilla Vs Mothra 1992
                        G85 will have to be another bootleg purchase, but the other two movies are available on a double disc that will be easy to get. I also still need to upgrade my copy of "Terror of Mechagodzilla" to the new deluxe edition from ClassicMedia.

                          Is that the ones where the aliens want to use the monsters to take over?!?! I haven't seen that one in decades!!!

                          >I also still need to upgrade my copy of "Terror of Mechagodzilla" to the new deluxe edition from ClassicMedia.

                          Yes you do. Those Master Series Godzilla disks are fantastic!

                            I agree. I have all the other ones they've done to date. It was the first time I'd ever seen the original Japanese versions of any of the films they've covered so far. I highly recommend seeking them out to any kaiju fan!

                                I picked up a WB Sci-Fi Double Feature DVD yesterday that includes "Moon Zero Two" and "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth". This was released recently as a Best Buy exclusive. I bought it to replace my tired old homemade VHS tape of "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth". It's not the greatest cavemen vs dinosaur movie ever made, but the stop-motion critters are worth the price of admission. I found this copy yesterday at my semi-local Best Buy store. I had tried to order it online a couple of weeks ago, but apparently the scalpers are already selling this thing for $45-75 on eBay and Amazon. I discovered with a little research that some Best Buy stores had pulled their copies of this set after receiving complaints about some nudity in the dinosaur film. It appears that Warner Brothers inadvertently used the European cut of the movie, which has three or four scenes with very brief nudity, instead of the G-rated American cut. Luckily for me, Best Buy is apparently only pulling this set in individual stores that have received complaints, instead of just yanking it company-wide. I was just happy to get the set for $18.01 with tax instead of paying a scalper through the nose
