i wonder what it would be like to go outside one morning, look around and see a grown man in a toy vehicle with a Godzilla mask driving around. Sounds amazing to me

[@Noobie2k7]

I actually rewatched though the Godzilla cartoon fairly recently and was really surprised how well it held up. Was reminded of it by a convo with a friend about more adult movies that got turned into cartoons. So decided to watch an episode and ended up binge watching the entire run.

I just watched the entire godzilla the series cartoon and that moment when jr had to chose between his real father or his adopted father made me cry it was beautiful and awsome the fighting scene was amazing and hart shattering i loved it and if godzilla the series got another season and they add more story if godzilla the series got a remake or another season i would still love it i just hope they make it as good or better then the original i would still be happy 10/10 show never going to be surpass never ever ever i love this show.

[@doomzilla3568]

Fantastic video MIB and great cameo from Matt as well!!!! I would absolutely love to have these toys as i grew up with the series and seeing the characters in toy form would blow my childhood mind!!!! It's a shame about the toyline never made it past the prototype stage after what happened with walmart, but thanks for showing us the prototypes and what could have been if things went differently!!!

[@Marleykye_official]

I would love to know what MIB neighbors think of MIB when driving his toy car

[@exiegelastweekgamer1571]

They probably think he's more sane then say... Caddicarus' neighbours.

[@misterbigbose]

I honestly love how you set up the garage joke, I saw it coming and yet I still laughed also that end part where the guy gives credit to hank was just heart warming especially during these times.

I always thought Walmart was the worst of the big retail stores, this just kinda puts the nail in the coffin for me

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

Man I would've killed for those figures. I've learned so much from this. Had no idea about the robo yeti and C-rex toys. I've seen the Cyber zilla and Zilla ones before. Big respect to Trendmasters for trying to push to get these toys out there. Russel really is the goat. Props to him and his team for what they did.

[@stevensteviepryde5888]

I love how Matt is depicted knowing all the answers of entertainment industry flops on the top of his head without even looking into it. (Also I would have loved to see his video on the Godzilla Christmas rap)

[@GTVNewsForGamers]

Fantastic episode, MIB! A crying shame this and the Kong toyline never saw the light of day. All these toys looked great, would've made for awesome toy room floor battles. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy a 1998 Godzilla off eBay to customize into my own Cyber Goji! Oh, and love the MIB Mobile. :)

[@sanjeevdalela5510]

Too late, I already bought it.

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

And yet, nearly 30 years later, the Godzilla 1998 figures from Trendmasters are worth their weight in gold. I'm betting the guys in charge are still beating themselves up to a pulp over letting that golden goose fly away....

I remember seeing pictures of these on the internet as a kid and then becoming sad when I later found out they basically don't exist. Anyway, I normally don't comment but just wanted to tell you great video as always man!

When that garage door opened I thought he was going to ride out with a tricycle. Instead it was a kid size electric car. Even better.

And of course like a true gentleman, you give proper credit and sources. I can't wait to see more! Great job! You earned my sub today man!

Best team up ever. Saw the note from Matt, about this fun crossover video. I had to check it out. I remember watching this film on VHS. Plus the animated film was pretty cool. Bummer how things turned out for distribution, for those who love collecting toys or action figures.

I was waiting for this play time episode because the story of the cancellation of Godzilla the series is a fascinating story. I wish these figures were sold in stores because it will make so much money but Walmart committed the biggest sin by saying no to money. The only prototype figure from Godzilla the series was Cyber Godzilla on sell for like $320 or so on etsy. I thought about buying it, but someone beat me to it.

[@TardesdeNeon]

I love this, thanks You!!

[@dinomaneofficiall3973]

I remember watching a video that came out like 14 years ago and some one was chowing there collection of Godzilla the seareas and doom island prototypes and there was a lot of them!!!

Now that you have that Cyber-Godzilla figure, you could totally bring back Zilla in the main series as Cyber-Godzilla!

[@joshuastrittmatter4188]

The only real problem I had with Cyber-Godzilla’s arc was that the series never delved into the true tragic aspect of it all. When Godzilla ripped Cyber-Zilla to shreds, it just gets passed off like it was a good thing.
