"New Monsters on the cheap - Godzilla or Ultraman Kaiju Style" Topic

Got a pack of new ~2" tall monsters from Amazon for about $1.30 USD a figure. These work well with the vintage 1970's Variety, only they are better quality today. And of course the scale can be whatever you need it to be, depending on what type of creatures you need for your game…

I see Sgt Slag has done similar with the dragon monster packs you can also find at Walmart or on Amazon. I may try playing around with those too, as the detail is really nice on these newer soft (but not too soft) injection molded plastics.

I went all in on Treadmasters 4" figures.
Otherwise great figure!

JMcCarroll – Those Treadmaster figures are cool if you are looking for a much larger scale, maybe to battle your 25-28mm figures? But they are way more expensive given they are 8 times as large (scaling in 3 dimensions). Given that the 2" guys run about $1.30 USD each in the larger packs, they are super affordable compared to the nominal 4" Kaiju I see in the secondary market where the asking price is ~20x the cost. The other thing I like about the little models, is the large majority (all of them really, except for some of the King Kong and Godzilla Variants) are in a fixed pose which facilitates the painting, without having to Green Stuff the joints of articulated limbs on the 4". But maybe you see the articulated limbs as a feature rather than a bug? They subtract from the look of the figure IMO, especially if your plan was to recoat and base as I like to do.
