Very nice figure indeed good sir, great addition to your collection.🎬🙌☘️

[@Tetlee]

@@Pjvenom1985 hey thank you Patrick, she came from the Irish waters to rampage through London😁

[@Marathon_Gaming]

Great wrap around art on box and great simple packaging too nice and standing ready to go 😎

[@Tetlee]

Yeah the packaging really is great here, awesome boxart.

[@louisborselio8608]

Oops, almost forgot. I checked both my Gorgos, and they are flattened on the back a little in the same area. So I guess that's a thing.

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 hey I see you out the comparison video, will watch that in the morning.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee You'll get some good information.

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

Nice one, It looks fantastic, Can't wait to see what you're getting from Japan

[@Tetlee]

Cheers Marc, me neither, now that will be the biggest of all, and rightly so too 😎

[@allanmailer4540]

I can't quite put a date on when I first seen Gorgo but I know it was on BBC1 around 7PM, I'd probably guess around 1978/79. I still remember quite a bit about it but that was the last time I seen it. I did notice the other day that the full film was on KZbin so I might give it another watch.

[@Tetlee]

Oh yes it's great that the full film is on youtube, quality is pretty good too. I'd watched it on there a few times before picking up the 4k which is fantastic.

[@steve36207]

I think that looks awesome lee buddy 👊 i wouldnt of noticed the little things like you did bud, i like how his one foot is slightly raised with the claws up. He looks great with the others on the shelf 😊

[@Tetlee]

Cheers Steve buddy, I've always been a perfectionist and also notice imperfections straight away. I try and keep that in check more these days but it's a tough thing to live with, haha. I've relocated him to the other shelf now and he looks more at home there.

[@Marathon_Gaming]

Mate your collection is well cool they all look brilliant all those models together buddy

[@Tetlee]

Cheers, I love them all, just one more to come which will be amazing, then another I have preordered for next year. If I had space there is another I've seen I would love but I'll only go for that if I can make a nice area for it as don't want stuff crammed.

[@accessarea6]

Cool I love to collect model figures

[@Tetlee]

Cheers Kev, yeah you've got some cracking figures, still think your own alien creation takes some beating.

[@SEGAZombie]

Wow that Gorgo looks awesome mate, I like how one foot is lifting it shows movement, the eyes and teeth are perfect, I agree it needs a consistent gloss, a shame about the scratches on the back but I'm sure you could touch those up, mate those figures all together look stunning mate

[@Tetlee]

Ah cheers Scott, yeah I think they look brilliant together, and I have one special space reserved for the slowly incoming😉 Really chuffed to have a Gorgo figure after all these years, not something I ever expected to see. I've already touched those scratches up, just carefully used a sharpie and can barely see them now, also sorted out the back issue as it wasn't right. I agree the lifted foot looks good, a bit more dynamic look.

[@Marathon_Gaming]

“Quite strong fumes coming out this thing” 😂😂

[@Tetlee]

haha, could almost chew the air 😆

[@louisborselio8608]

If you want a little gloss anywhere, lightly spritz it with a super hold hairspray and don't touch it for a least an hour.

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 cheers for the tip, don't have any hairspray but will keep that in mind.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee make sure it's a high number super hold. If you have tresemme 4 there, that's a good one to get.

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 I'll look into that cheers, can also use it on the few hairs I have on my head😁

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee Absolutely

[@retroimportgamer513]

I'm not a figure person myself but these are impressive pieces you buy. I agree the back does look a bit dented but no idea if that's how it should be. Real shame about the scratches but hopefully you can touch them in Maybe they were going for a look of him drying off after exiting the sea🤔👍

[@Tetlee]

@@retroimportgamer513 cheers James, I wasn't either until the '74 Godzilla but it's very addictive surrounding yourself with nostalgic figures. I now have my eye on a newly announced beauty but I need to figure out space first. The scratches I've more or less solved, and have found a way to sort the back aswell but need to so that again, definitely shouldn't be that flat.

[@ewstargamer]

Looks cool mate shame about those scuffs but I'm sure you won't notice it when on display Great video mate 👍

[@Tetlee]

@@ewstargamer cheers Alex mate, yeah the scuffs are only a minor issue thankfully👍

[@retrotap]

Very nice mate, I don't know anything about these but they look very cool

[@Tetlee]

@@retrotap You've never seen Gorgo? The full film is actually uploaded on KZbin so never too late🙂

[@retrotap]

@@Tetlee just had a couple of sick days, would have been perfect to watch while I was feeling sorry for myself 😂 I watched Clash of the Titans and The Running Man though, so I did ok haha

[@Tetlee]

@@retrotap ah two absolute belters there. On subject of CofT, I've been looking at an awesome figure....😂

@@Tetlee ooooh the Kraken?

[@Marathon_Gaming]

He looks well cool mate!

[@Tetlee]

Cheers Scott, I'm happy with it, just great to have a Gorgo figure on the shelf.

[@nerdygeezer78]

He looks like he's more of a sofubi style figure but looks real cool

[@Tetlee]

@@nerdygeezer78 yeah, very different look materials wise to the X-Plus etc. Of course Gorgo is also a very different appearance in general, but I think he's pretty cool.

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Very cool looking figure mate, although the back did looked squashed.

[@Tetlee]

@@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 cheers Dave, I think so, you gotta love a bit of Gorgo😁 Managed to find a way to sort out the back thankfully.

[@Marathon_Gaming]

The x plus looks more detailed and less plasticy to me

[@Tetlee]

100%, the X-Plus are a level above, Shin Godzilla especially, but I think this as close as we'll get for a 30cm Gorgo.

[@stewsretroreviews]

He looks mean mate 😆 nice collectable 👍

[@Tetlee]

@@stewsretroreviews He sure does, to me Gorgo always had a mean but also kinda cute appearance. Certainly not the most terrifying monster/ kaiju out there😉 Cheers Paul mate.

[@stewsretroreviews]

@Tetlee No bother Lee, ya Godzilla obsessed lol, nice to collect though. You watching the footy on Sunday ⚽️ 🍻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@louisborselio8608]

So how do you like this Gorgo compared to the one you saw on Monster Island Kaiju Reviews.

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 I noticed the tail on his looked like it was touching the ground as I'd have expected, feet seemed straighter too.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee It's easy to straighten the feet on yours

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 I may well do that. I did sort out the flat back by heating and squeezing the sides which worked well but I didn't hold the position long enough so it more or less reset now. Will be doing that again.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee Are you squeezing past the point of where you want it to be? Remember you have to go much further than where you want it to be.

[@louisborselio8608]

I hope you make another video after you make the corrections so we can see the changes.

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 Hi Louis, I need to do the back again as it has pretty much reset from the fix. Will try freezing after the heat treatment next time.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee I wouldn't recommend freezing because it might return to the undesired state when it reaches room temperature. What you need is some sort of big squeezing type clamp Just remember after getting softened from the heat to squeeze it way past the point of where you want it to be so it doesn't retract to where it was when you started.

[@louisborselio8608]

Not sure what you're drinking there, but it looks like beer. So I had to stop the video go get myself one and enjoy it while I watch the rest of this.

[@Tetlee]

@@louisborselio8608 it was indeed a beer so cheers 🍻🙂

[@louisborselio8608]

@@Tetlee Cheers mate

[@Marathon_Gaming]

Yeah I think it looks flat too

[@Tetlee]

I've already improved that by heating it up, applying pressure to the sides and cooling back down. Do that once more and it'll be perfect :)

[@tootyuk]

Did you find out anymore info re the flat back? defo looks like its had a dink along the way. "hes eyes are facing the same way" hahahahahaha Cant say ive ever watched the movie you know!

[@Tetlee]

@@tootyuk I'm surprised how many people in the UK haven't seen it. Who doesn't want to see a monster rampage through London?😉 The back I found a way to rectify by heating a remolding a bit but I need to do it again and perhaps pop in the freezer after to cool it in shape quicker. Believe me eyes facing different directions can most certainly be a thing with figures like this 😵‍💫 haha. Cheers for watching mate👍
