Bad timing I think. The pokèmon and Digimon wars was raging at this time. I read somewhere that the cartoon had too much competition when it was released
I actually like the design of the 98 Godzilla. The more dinosaur-like T-Rex stance quickly grew on me. I know there are OG Godzilla fans out there that are like "Upright Godzilla for life!" But if the 98 movie had been more faithful to the Japanese Godzilla but still used this design, fans may have been more lenient on it.
There are stills from "Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla" where Satsuma is adopting a Tyrannosaurus-style pose and he just looks weird hunched over like that.
98' Zilla is my favourite looking Godzilla (why the Jay Leno chin, though?). My favourite Japanese Godzilla is Final Wars Godzilla. I just wish 98' was more of a tank to damage.
Fans already like this design and the animated series already proved this design can work as a godzilla design (but mostly as it's own creature design)
From what I heard around the Internet, the movie is a good monster movie, just not a good Godzilla movie. Some even say it would have worked better as a remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. Me, I still like it regardless. It's not the worst Godzilla movie in my opinion. And without it, we wouldn't have the Millennium era of Godzilla movies that were made from pure spite for this movie 😅.
@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 " And without it, we wouldn't have the Millennium era of Godzilla movies that were made from pure spite for this movie" Well, you're half right. If it hadn't have been for the 1998 movie we wouldn't have had the Millennium "series." No, what we would have had was the continued adventures of Junior. Godzilla was ALWAYS going to come back in 1999. I don't care what you've read online recently. Back in 1995, the word coming out of Japan was "No more until 1999." And it was going to be about Godzilla Jr. And there was a script that Tomoyuki Tanaka was getting ready (just like he had for the '84 Godzilla, working on it since 1977) for the comeback movie in '99. But in 1997, Tanaka died. The 1998 disaster happened and without Tanaka, Shogo Tomiyama was free to do his own thing and that's how the Millennium movies came to be. But Godzilla was going to be back in 1999 regardless of the 1998 movie.
Those are amazing. I really wish some enterprising company out there could find a way to create the monsters from some of the "other" Godzilla continuities in toy form these days. The '90s cartoon monsters, the Hanna-Barbara ones, the weird-ass ones from the Marvel comic, etc. Would probably be insanely cost prohibitive given the z-level of their marketability even in the G-world but I'd kill to have C-Rex or Rhiahn in Bandai-style.
@@92Raider-art Yeah, hence the "insanely cost prohibitive" part. I had a friend who thought about doing a line of 3rd party 3D printed statues/figurines of them all - the HB, Sony cartoon, Marvel, Dark Horse monsters - but he never got good enough with it to make it work.
I know people throw the term "better than it had any right to be" around a lot, but DAMN does Godzilla the Series ever represent that phrase perfectly.
Take TWO!!! Yo MIB! Great indepth look of the godzilla the series canceled trendmasters figures. You're very lucky to own these holy grails as these would have been fantastic for those who really enjoyed the cartoon show that is better than the movie it came from. I would love to own one as a child but alas it wasn't ment to be after Walmart said no. It's great that you get to show these figures and mad props to Jonathan who showed us the prototypes from his collection and yours as well. Another sad case of what have could have been. Great video!!!!
I wonder if the molds/tooling for these prototypes still exist. I'd love for someone like Super 7 to buy them up and release them, ala those unproduced Alien or Dark Crystal figures that happened a while back...
I kinda hope Super 7 doesn't make retro-style Godzilla toys based on these designs. They're overpriced. $17 for a 4.5 inch figure based on the Adventure People 5-point articulation model is too much.
After having a rough time on the first day of college and seeing another MIB video talking about the cancelled Godzilla the series trendmasters toyline, this made my day a lot better.
I remember when I was younger, I saw the unreleased commercial for this toy line on TH-cam, and I was constantly trying to find the toys on ebay, when years later I realized that they never released, and it was an unreleased commercial. my younger self would have been crying to sleep.
Andy lore is the best kind of lore like now we have a villain too who's a rabbit lol and it's cute that snowball of chaos will rule the world and make his lizard faced dad proud just wait and see
This toy line looked like it would’ve been so much fun. Honestly, I know that they have been getting a lot of flak but I think a company like Super 7 should bring some of these toys to life along with recreations of other old Trendmasters toys. It would give them an edge on other companies making Godzilla toys.
Found you awhile back when I was zoinked and watched for hours without subbing, thought about you recently and couldn't remember your name, glad I found you again after a hour of searching XD
It’s super interesting to see what these could’ve been it were been released on the shelves back then, and the prototypes are as close as we can get for the animated Godzilla toys.
Fun Fact: There is a Star Wars Animated Series Called “Ewoks”. it Lasted 2 Seasons and Features Wicket and His Friends as They Go on Journeys. The Series Came Out in 1985 and Ended in 1987, and it Featured The Ewoks Characters from 1983’s “Star Wars Episode VI: Return of The Jedi”.
Really enjoyed your second look on these figures I would have loved these when I was little, a monster that I would haved loved seeing as a figure is the chameleon, yeah it would be another godzilla jr mold but it really has a unique messed up look.
Hey MIB I’m a big fan I love your channel and your videos keep up the good work. Also there is one more Godzilla fast food toy set for the Godzilla vs kong movie from Carl’s jr which you showed us a picture of in your Godzilla KFC fast food toy video so if you could please show us that video someday please and once again keep up the good work and the awesome videos😊👍
Legend say that Andy is still trying to catch that damn rabbit lol keep trying Andy let's hope doesn't actually kill the funny rabbit nah he wouldn't he's funny dog he wouldn't kill a funny rabbit right RIGHT
Dammit, I would have loved to get Cyber Godzilla as a kid, but I feel it should have had a sort of distorted roar effect rather than the same Godzilla one. I also wonder how many toy lines and toys we were denied due to Walmart. I also find Andy calling a rabbit a “domestic terrorist” kind of fitting, given that fits a lot of bunny based TH-cams (Pippa, Nanobites, and especially Pekora).
I WOULD HAVE LOVED THESE I DIDNT GROW UP IN THE 90S BUT I FOUND A 98 SHATTER TAIL GODZILLA IN A THRIFT STORE I would have loved to find one of these in a thrift store
It’s always a special day when MIB shows off rare Godzilla figures!!
Yeah
Here before it’s viral!
@@Videozilla98 same
So sad these toys weren’t mass produced.
WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE?!
What the fuck
Somebody shud crowdfund these and release them to the market in limited quantities
Bad timing I think. The pokèmon and Digimon wars was raging at this time. I read somewhere that the cartoon had too much competition when it was released

Imagine if there was an alternative universe where Walmart actually wanted these toys.
Perfect universe.
That and the moive was not hated.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEE BOOOOOIIIIIIIII
I would grow up to be a multiverse scientist and open a portal to that Universe
cyber zilla, zilla jr, maybe even komodithrax ! WHY DID WALMART SAY NO ?! WHYYYYYYYYYY ????

The Yeti having an outer shell like a Pretenders Transformer is pretty awesome ngl
Nice. Thanks for more vids MIB. And loving how deep you are going on with these rare Godzilla toys. Hope there are more we haven't seen yet.
Andy is so freaking adorable as always.❤❤❤

No matter how much I want them to do HB Godzilla Monsters. It's never gonna happen because Toei owns the rights to it nowadays

Super7
I remember in the Hanna-Barbara show there was a blue magnetic turtle monster. Kinda liked how it looked tbh
If Playmates recreated these toys in the future, I would definitely get them
Same
Ditto
I really wish these had come out, cyberzilla looks nice.

Jakks pacific would own those assets
@@MonsterIslandBuddies I want ALL THESE TOYS! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
@@shytoons maybe they can be remade from reverse engineering prototypes. The bootleg companies do it all the time. And a lot are of excellent quality

I'd love a big chameleon, he was my favorite monster of the series.

13:51 best godzilla roar ever heard in a unreleased toy
As a kid i was here for the mib series but as an adult, im here for the knowledge.
I remember when I was younger, I saw the unreleased commercial for this toy line on TH-cam, and I was constantly trying to find the toys on ebay, when years later I realized that they never released, and it was an unreleased commercial. my younger self would have been crying to sleep.

This guy has a museum in his basement about Godzilla history.
I love learning about trendmasters Godzilla figures, honestly really interesting
13:10 i pictured a different but familiar voice
Fantastic video as always! And congrats on acquiring all of these amazing grails and sharing them with us!
Wow! I love to see more prototypes!
You know the the wars? Agents each other
13:17 - Always thought Zilla would be more of an Andy Gibb guy. Just imagine him stomping through NYC singing “I Just Want To Be Your Everything.”
2:10 awww he's silly 😋 hahahahahahahaha sorry what were we talking about again oh yeah Andy zilla
Great video buddy and congrats on your new Mega Monster Godzilla the series Proto👍🏻
Andy lore is the best kind of lore like now we have a villain too who's a rabbit lol and it's cute that snowball of chaos will rule the world and make his lizard faced dad proud just wait and see
How did you find these toys?
I always love the prototype videos great job mib
14:29 honestly, i would love to see a komodithrax figure. and maybe king cobra too
Your dog is adorable
I'm here for Andy's updates chasing the rabbit. Awesome video thank you for sharing.
MIB, your Godzilla collectible collection is so impressive. Have you ever considered being on that Collector's Corner show on MeTV?
you know its gonna be good when MIB has the humor
Seeing Andy chasing the bunny gives me life lol 😅

I would have liked this as a kid, and that quetz- quetze- Q the winged serpent figure looks good.
Your dog is so funny
What happened to the toys fighting each other Iiss it so much 🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 after years I come back to this?
Instead of leaving the same comment over and over you can use the time to go to my profile page and see I still do those videos too
Damn I wish i had one even a 3d printed replica would be nice
I love prototype toys because you get cool stuff like this.
*war flashbacks to the unused sonic movie toys*
Dude! I believe that you are the King of Godzilla Merch!
I Like Your Intro Godzilla Roar
I remember watching a video of someone that has the prototypes but I can’t find it
That would be my channel and video I believe.
@@shytoons yup
This man is a legend get this Man 10 million subscribers
I wanna be as appreciated as much as MIB appreciates trendmasters
I just noticed your venom 2018 wave spider-ham action figure from marvel legends on the black shelf at the bottom lol
I’d die for that cyber godzilla
Trend masters? More like missel masters
13:41 🤭🤭🤭
Aliens: "It's a good thing this creature's body is intact. We only have enough of a budget for one cybernetic arm."
I miss it 😭

I know my day is made when MIB uploads a video
Love this video! One question tho, (not trying to sound rude or anything) will Orga EVER review the series?
Super awesome bro thanks for sharing.
Oh, this is gonna be good!

9:49 so I'd he a relative of godzilla, or one from a different universe
4:04 IT IS SPELT THAT WAY btw w vid

Is Orga ever gonna review the show? He’s been saying it for years or is that just a channel meme?

I been having a REAL hard time finding that one
@@MonsterIslandBuddies oh ok just saying ok and also love your channel and your videos they are funny and amazing keep up the good work ok thanks 😊
5:40 I'll give MIB an A for effort in pronouncing Quetzalcoatl. Also, 13:51 Music to my ears!
The puppy looks cute
Ah so lucky having these, always love your content!
So amazing getting the chance to see these relics of history
Excellent job 👍👏👍👍❤
I want to hear about that Mechagodzilla Pikachu! Been wanting to buy one of them and all the other Godzilla cosplay pikachus
aaaaw, that was the cutes sponsor segment i have ever seen
This is all really cool, but making Godzilla sing that song was both funny and adorable.
Another MIB W, honestly would've love to have these figures as a kid ngl
I always enjoy learning about canceled toys (even if it’s from a fandom I’m not that involved in).
If only they were released
Y’know we eatin good tonight when MIB posts a vid!
Younger me is sad to know what could have been a awesome toy line.
Legend say that Andy is still trying to catch that damn rabbit lol keep trying Andy let's hope doesn't actually kill the funny rabbit nah he wouldn't he's funny dog he wouldn't kill a funny rabbit right RIGHT
I love the "making love out of nothing at all" by air supply reference.
That is so cool and such a big accomplishment.
I remember seeing adds for the cartoon toys and then never finding them. I was sooooo mad, because I wanted a NIGEL figure more than anything.
I’m permanently banned from all Walmarts so I can confirm that Walmart sucks
I'm curious on how did you get your hands on those rare figures, what a privilege!
❤yes!!!!!
I love the word prototype
And theses figures look amazing
How did u get those!!?? They are so cool!!!!
All right, I need to get a top tier 3D printer and start printing these things out
Woah all of a sudden I feel like I need these toys
I feel like that the Nigel variant would have originally been named supercharged Nigel
I don’t know why these aren’t on sale they look awesome!
I don't know if I'm crazy, but I remember having the large Godzilla as a kid. My grandmother got it at a yard sale when I was 8 so 20 years age
Sup bro! This is awesome
I used to own both Cyber and Godzilla prototypes, sold them a long time ago though, if I remember correctly though mine roared
2:42 open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur
At 13:18 I keep putting this on repeat this shit is hilarious 😂😂
Zilla Junior is the ultimate example of the son outgrowing the father
Like if your dad peaked in high school and you won a nobel prize
Dammit, I would have loved to get Cyber Godzilla as a kid, but I feel it should have had a sort of distorted roar effect rather than the same Godzilla one. I also wonder how many toy lines and toys we were denied due to Walmart.

what is that led art on ur wall
