Re: Godzilla and friends
That is a very good point!

Re: Godzilla and friends
OK, it's posted.

Re: Godzilla and friends
As a legend you need one more point? I’ll donate it if needed. Start the thread.

Re: Godzilla and friends
Bats gave me a point. What's the figure info for this?

Re: Godzilla and friends
I believe it's this one on Amazon:

Re: Godzilla and friends
The figure used for this unit is a Bandai figure from the Godzilla Movie Monster Series set.
Its name is Godzilla (1954). It can be purchased here. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
Thanks!
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Everyone OK if I move this thread to the public?
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
No issue

Re: Godzilla and friends
Sounds good

Re: Godzilla and friends
Go for it!

Re: Godzilla and friends
Destoroyah sounds like Godzilla's rap name. :2cents:
First power seems like a straight up Godzilla counterdraft (which it's looking more and more like we need :lol: ). Second power is nice crowd control. Lowish life and the last power really make you want to run him with a bunch of cheap/hard to hit types, which is interesting (and may or may not be appealing). |
Re: Godzilla and friends
Yeah, the first power definitely messes with Godzilla - thematically, Destoroyah is Godzilla's last/toughest opponent in the 80s/90s series of Godzilla movies, and his breath weapon is specifically based on the weapon that kills the OG Godzilla at the end of the original movie.
And yeah, the threat of encouraging turtling has me reconsidering the last power a bit - don't think you necessarily need to rep his powers that way, and I think it makes it hard for him to be a solo Event Hero draft. Not entirely sure what to replace it with yet though. May peruse some of our horror designs for inspiration. Also thinking of updating Aggregate Forms like so: Quote:

Re: Godzilla and friends
Maybe something more of a Daredevil II variety where the first time you “kill” him each round he heals a couple and keeps fighting?
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Yeah, I think that would track.
Alternatively, I could see him getting some kind of sadism power, going in a completely different direction. He's one of the few Godzilla enemies that's particularly cruel (a lot of them are just mindless monsters or pawns of aliens or whatever). So he stands out from the crowd for that reason. He specifically ignores Godzilla at a couple points during their fight to go beat up Godzilla's son instead. Maybe combining those ideas... Quote:

Re: Godzilla and friends
Make it a must and you've got me.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Yeah, I'm cool with it being a 'must'. :up:
Oh, one other little note - I went with Menacing on the personality as a nod to the Alien Drones. In the scenes where he's split into his smaller forms, there are some homages to Alien(s), so I liked winking at that. Might upgrade him to Terrifying (the Alien Queen's personality). Don't think the queen was around when I was first brainstorming for this guy. All together: Quote:

Re: Godzilla and friends
IF (big if) you put him at 20 Life like Godzilla, I've got him at 1335 on the calculator.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
I don't particularly trust the calculator with the numbers involved here, but a bit above Godzilla would be a good goal.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Pretty cool design. Sadistic Drive is awesome.
I'd let Oxygen Destroyer Ray affect anyone or power it up somehow. Against most huge guys including Godzilla, unless your only option is a ranged attack, it's going to be mathematically better to use that attack of 10. |
Re: Godzilla and friends

(Again, based on if you do 20 Life). |
Re: Godzilla and friends
OXYGEN DESTROYER RAY SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 8. Attack 2 + Special. This special attack can only be used once per round and the defending figure cannot roll defense dice. When attacking a Huge figure with this special attack, add 3(?)4(?) to the attack. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
That's nice. :up:
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Yeah, I could dig that. Another thought I had was doing something like:

Re: Godzilla and friends
Yeah, that's nasty. :up:

Re: Godzilla and friends
Who knew Gundams and Transformers hated having their oxygen destroyed so much :lol:
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
They absolutely hate that. It's the Gundam version of getting slapped with a glove.
Updated the version of Oxygen Destroyer in the last post. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
Thought of a cool idea if we ever do a 1000 point Kong for Godzilla VS Kong matchups. This would let Kong uproot trees and smash Godzilla with them for 10-15 dice.

Re: Godzilla and friends
I’d add in the unoccupied clause we’ve been doing recently, but cool power! Gundam Basebal Bat would be cool as hell.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Pretty nuts on a map with trees! Cool concept though.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Battletech had that same mechanic. You could uproot a tree and use it as a club. Good stuff.

Any thoughts on repping the energy Axe? I would love a Kong who could compete with Godzilla. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
Draftable axe?
Also could do an Evergreen Tree II that allowed it to be used as a club. |

Re: Godzilla and friends
So, I asked in the questions thread about the figure for Destoroyah. Thank you so much for your responses. :) Do the rest of the team working on the other kaiju have the figures in mind for theirs respectively as well? I'd probably like to get all of them and their prices are on the rise recently, so I'd like to pre-empt them being out of print completely. (I know they're probably being kept in the 6"-7" Godzilla line of toys). I saw discussions for the 11 " Godzilla as well and was wondering what figure is being tossed around for that one.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
I think for the most part you should be safe with the other figures from that same Playmates line (or other comparably-sized figures). Not sure about the XL Godzilla, though.
I think the big characters we don't have anything figured out yet for are Rodan and Mothra. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
I just played my first game of Godzilla: Tokyo Clash. Fun game!
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
Looks neat! Megalon is clearly the Ringo Starr of that game's kaiju line-up though. :p
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
It's just tough to hammer out roughly correct sizing for each as their canonical sizes have varied so widely over the years. I already got the Destoroyah you linked prior.
King Ghidorah tends to be one of the biggest, so I'm comfy setting him as the tallest for the standard kaiju at 7" and 8" in his mecha form (even if you guys don't make Mecha King Ghidorah, I'm comfortable using him as a reskin alternate model as he's so iconic.) I've gone ahead and gotten both 6" and 7" for MechaGodzilla as he tends to tie and/or exceed Godzilla's height (I figure I'll keep whichever is closer to the height you guys decide upon and gift the other). I've really got no clue with Mothra (both forms) or Rodan as it's a bit harder to pin point a standard size comparison for them. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
As much as possible the goal is to be in decent relative scale to the Godzilla we have AND to try to stick to something that can fit on double bases as it precludes our needing special movement rules if we can do that.
|
Re: Godzilla and friends
We don't have a plan for Rodan and Mothra yet either, which makes it tough to advise. :lol:
I've also been trying to work out figures lately, though. I'll keep you in the loop if we get anything nailed down. For Rodan at least, I know he does have 6" tall toys that look like they'd fit on a double base, comparable to most of the other kaiju. I know Rodan's not always that big compared to Godzilla, but it works well enough for me, personally. Mothra will probably be a little trickier - unlikely to be an easy double-baser. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
Here's what I have saved for Mothra, but, yeah, basing seems like it'd be daunting ....
|

Re: Godzilla and friends
Hmm, yeah, might need to prop her up.
Ideally I'd like to not use the American Mothra design if possible - it loses the iconic face design in favor of making her look more buglike. Maybe that's just what we've got to work with, though. |
Re: Godzilla and friends
Quick stab at a Mothra design, since we're talking about her but we haven't got a write-up going:
Quote:

Re: Godzilla and friends
I may end up getting both Mothra's (the one you linked and the classic that is almost the same size) but I think I'll start with the classic. I'm still really appreciative of you showing me the one you're using, as it gives me an idea of the scale you're going with in either case. I could see both benefiting from the use of a thin metal rod (hidden under the base and within the figure) bent at an angle to secure them to the base (in such a way that no flight stand is necessary) using their own weight as a counterbalance. Are you going with the 8.5" Larva figure or something smaller? I'd imagine either way there's no intention of basing Larva Mothra.
Rodan's size has varied more greatly than many of the other kaiju (aside from Godzilla of course), so I don't mind going with a 6"; I'll likely just go with the most Dynamic figure in the 5"-6" range as most of them are just sort of T posing, but if I have to I'll just take a T pose Rodan and mod him to be in a Dynamic pose like I did the Transformers. XD On a side note, I'd hope Anguirus and Biollante are considered (as both are rather unique standouts against the standard bipedal kaiju) and are also considered for special basing. While Anguirus can stand upright he's most comfortable on all fours and Biollante would likely be best on a custom 4-7 hexer (akin to my Master Mold Custom). I know a large portion of the push from the community for the larger Godzilla was to kickstart the custom rules for movement concerning figures with more than a double spaced base, so if nothing else perhaps any nonconventional (non-bipedal) kaiju could achieve the same goal. Thank you all so much for your insight! ^w^ |
