We really gotta get Vanisher a better tailor. Poor guy doesn't have a single good outfit. He's got almost as many bad looks as Kitty Pryde.

I've posted it elsewhere -   I would absolutely adore it if Marvel and Toho somehow, someway worked out an agreement that allowed them to do a Marvel Legends Godzilla HasLab project.    I had the Shogun Warriors Godzilla as a kid stomping his way through my Star Wars figures and menacing my brothers micronauts and even dragged him out of retirement when Cobra Commander thought it would be a good idea to wake him up to menace the world only to have him team up with Team Joe and stomp some viper ass.

 

So yes - I would adore an official Marvel Legends Godzilla as ridiculous and silly - and undersized - as it would be.

 

And Vanisher is a huge yes.   I would nostalgically prefer him in his garish classic X-villain get-up,  brown or green would be fine.    But I would understand if instead they gave us the X-Force era tattoo armed dude.    And I wouldn't mind if we got both versions frankly.      I can skip the blink-and-you'll-miss-it-Brad-Pitt-cameo-joke version though.

A Legends Godzilla would be very cool, but it would be so very undersized.  Then there’s the licensing issues to work out.  As cool as it would be, I don’t see it happening, and I don’t see it happening at anywhere close to affordable once they figured in licensing and such.

 
Vanisher is a rarity for me.  I actually like his more modern, “tattooed” look over his original.  While none of his looks are ideal, the black tattooed one interests me more than any nostalgia I have for his original “McNugget” look.

Ok, now I can't unsee it, haha.

I'd LOVE a Marvel Godzilla, even though I know it's a pipe dream at best. Yeah, it would be undersized to even remotely have a chance at being sold anywhere, but it would be really, really cool. Just pretending for a moment that they were able to work out a deal with Toho, maybe they could make a figure of him from when the Marvel heroes used Pym particles to temporarily shrink him down? It'd be a bit weird to have him be roughly Hulk sized, but if that was the only way to get him I'd take it.

Never much cared for Vanisher...always thought all of his looks were incredibly boring. I'd have to pass on him.

Wow.  I do like the idea of a Vanisher, but the costumes are indeed rough.  I'd get an early version in a BAF wave.  X-Force version if they actually complete the team.

I'd buy both. I've been going back and forth for nearly 2 years now on buying the Mezco 18" Ultimate Godzilla for $450. I've almost pulled the trigger on it so many times. I recently just bought a 4th HasLab Sentinel on the secondary market with the $$$ that I had set aside for it, though - so that probably kills that dream for me for now. I'd definitely put it with my Marvel stuff if I bought it. I keep holding out hope that someone will make a similarly sized vinyl or roto version for a much lower cost, but when it didn't happen for the most recent movie it's likely not happening.

A Marvel Godzilla would make a fun Marvel Legend.  I don't have the space for him, but I would be tempted to make some if he was released.

Pass on Vanisher.  He makes Richard Simmons look like a fashion plate.

Yes to both versions of Box from yesterday.

Vanisher is a definite yes! I'd like the classic green puffy costume, and the X-Force tatted version would be cool too. We kinda have the Fallen Angels-era black bodysuit version; just pop a Professor X head on the HoX Professor X blank black body.

Godzilla would be great. They could fudge a 7-8" version if they packaged it with Dum Dum Dugan to recreate this story:

No to Godzilla.  Big yes to Vanisher in all of his terrible green costume glory.

Godzilla would be great in the ML line, but as others have said there are so many hurdles to that happening that it probably won't happen.   Although we usually don't think things will happen and then all of a sudden they do happen.

Vanisher is terrible.   His looks are all pretty much garbage in my opinion.   Maybe a "hate" buy of his corn on the cob look.   Otherwise I can just pretend the House of X Professor X is Vanisher from the MU Handbook.
