I know that company is bowing to the current dictator-for-life (trust me, he WILL ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights to do that within 2 years, taking advantage of his minions' majority in Congress to shred the values and there's nothing you can do about it because you're not rich), but they've always had a broad selection and I've ordered a lot of pro-LGBTQ+ items from them as well as a wide amount of Kaiju items. These reviews concern 3 Godzilla products, the graphic novels "Godzilla vs. Kong vs. Justice League" and "Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and a Shin Godzilla Funko Pop.
Godzilla vs. Power Rangers
Rita Repulsa and the Power Rangers enter the Godzilla universe, Rita teaming with the Xiliens for conquest while an uneasy alliance between Godzilla and the Rangers is forged. This story keeps the action coming relentlessly and also has a sense of humor, which I feel some recent Power Rangers stories have lacked. Rhinoblaster and Gigan attack the heroes, Rhinoblaster guessing Gigan "isn't into the witty banter" when he just attacks with his scythes, as well as Rita unleashing King Ghidorah, thinking she can control the beast of terror only to fail, with Godzilla and the Megadragonzord defeating the three-headed menace. Godzilla also gets a battle with the Dragonzord, which fans of both have been wanting for years. Highly Recommended to fans of both.
Godzilla vs. Kong vs. Justice League
I had hesitation around this book, since DC doesn't always make the best decisions with their properties and Godzilla is a property that is easy to get incorrect by US-based companies. However, I was thoroughly entertained through the book. Godzilla almost kills Superman, with the two of them forging an uneasy alliance, and also fights Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Mera with a Kraken as well as Tiamat under the sea and Lex Luthor pilots the MonsterVerse MechaGodzilla in an attempt to destroy superhero and titan alike. Godzilla and Kong take center stage to beat back adversaries, though Kong becoming a Green Lantern didn't sit that right with me. However, it didn't detract from a fun ride on par with Godzilla meeting the Power Rangers.
Shin Godzilla Funko Pops
This is a well-crafted figurine showcasing Shin Godzilla, admittedly with some liberties to make him more of a Funko Pop. The face doesn't poke out as much, the eyes are the typical Funko Pop black and there are more red highlights. This doesn't detract from this release, which is of one of the more popular Godzilla designs. I enjoy placing this among my other Godzilla Funko Pops just to see the variety of designs, as seen in the attached picture. With its big teeth and skull-tail (referencing the last shot of the movie), this definitely stands out and also fits in with other Godzilla releases from Funko. Recommended.
