On Top Of Awesome Marketing, ‘Godzilla’ Also Has Some Fantastic Tie-In Products!
You all know how excited we at Geekscape are for Warner Bros. and Legendary’s upcoming Godzilla. From the Godzilla Encounter event at last year’s SDCC, to the film’s first trailer, to the about-to-release graphic novel, and everything in between, we’re absolutely enamoured with the legendary creature’s long-overdue reboot and return to form.
A huge character like the king of monsters warrants a huge lineup of cool tie-ins, and that’s exactly what Godzilla is getting. Late last week, a sweet package from Warner Bros. Consumer Products arrived, giving me a small taste of the fantastic Godzilla products making their way to shelves.
Inside the box was a variety of goodies that were pretty damned impressive. So here’s some info (and professional photos that are exponentially better than the ones that I could take) on some of the available items.
BANDAI Godzilla 2014 Movie Fighting Figures
Control Godzilla with these Fighting Figures! Choose from “Tail-Strike” Godzilla with swinging tail manipulated via a chest control, or “Smash Strike” (the one featured in this Survival Pack), whose devastating upper body attacks are activated through an upper-tail control lever! Available at retailers nationwide for $14.99.
BANDAI Godzilla 2014 Movie Figure 2-Packs
Godzilla takes on an anime look with these highly collectible chibi-style figures! Two different 2-packs are available, each includes Godzilla in a different pose. Available at retailers nationwide for $6.99.
KINETIX Godzilla 2014 Shirt
Fashion gets fierce with this limited-edition Godzilla t-shirt from Kinetix. Exclusively available at Kitson for $42, this shirt features the King of Monsters with his moniker spelled out along his spine.
Derek’s note: this shirt is awesome. It’s super soft, super high quality, and I actually received a ton of “cool shirt” comments in the day that I’ve worn it.
This one won’t actually be available to consumers, but it’s pretty cool. It’s a small, very bright, high quality Godzilla flashlight. It also came with a ‘torch’ piece so you can direct air traffic and whatnot.
Another one consumers won’t get their hands on. It’s a survival kit in a can, and includes matches, safety pins, a compass, band-aids, and a variety of other survival related items.
Rubie’s Godzilla 2014 Costume Hoodie
“Need a fast and function way to turn into a monster? Rubie’s offers the chance to become the King ofMonsters himself with the full zip-up hoodie that transforms the wearer from ordinary to monstrous in seconds! Available at retailers nationwide this Halloween.”
And of course, we already showed you the Jakk’s Pacific figure that we’d totally wait in line for.
Again, that’s just a small taste of some of the sweet, sweet products that you’ll see on store shelves. Be sure to let us know if you’ll be picking any of these up (like that amazing t-shirt), and how excited you are for the film!
