MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:16 AMGodzilla 2014 toys are up for pre-order on urbancollector.com and the deluxe destruction pack comes with Godzilla and "Muto". Described to be an 8-legged monster, Muto is it's apparant official name. Here's a link for you non-believers:

If the link doesn't work, simply type "Godzilla 2014" in the search bar of urban-collectors.com. There are 3 Godzilla toys up for pre-order so far, tho unfortunately no pics yet.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:18 AMThere won't be any pics until WB and Legendary give the okay.
Anyways, what the hell were they thinking, naming a monster Muto?
I mean, that doesn't sound threatening at all. "Oh here comes Muto!"

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:21 AMThe important thing is that we now know more info, especially about the toys. They all sound epic! And Muto isn't that bad of a name really. Not much better than "Gigan" or "Kumonga". Just saying...

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:21 AMAnyways... HOLY SHIT! YES! NEW NEWS! THANK YOU, Instinctive Gigan!
BCrockett94
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:22 AMYeah, and it might even just be a false name, to keep too much information being leaked.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:25 AMWhy is Muto measuring 3.5 feet? That's a bit large for some figures isn't it? But then again, it's a hundred bucks.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:27 AMThese are like hardcore collectors items. I got dibs on the "Attack and Roar Godzilla figure". Hellz yeah.

AdminGodzillaOct-20-2013 12:31 AM"Muto" is a fairly common Japanese surname. It's possible the monster is named after a Japanese character who founded the creature in the movie. (Perhaps Ken Watanabe's character? I don't know. It's just conjecture.)
Also if you [url=http://www.urban-collector.com/godzilla-2014-movie-deluxe-attack-roar-action-figure-asst-nov131921.html]go to this web page[/url], and read the description, it [b]confirms Godzilla has his atomic blast[/b].

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:33 AMahh, maybe I feel bummed out that it's "pre sold out".

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:36 AMWhat the hell is up with these measurements? Am I just reading them wrong? How the hell do you fit a 10 ft tall Godzilla through a door?
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaOct-20-2013 12:38 AMI think it's pretty safe to say it's inches, not feet.

InstinctiveGigan
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:38 AMIt's in inches, that also explains the supposed 3.5 ft Mutos. It's 3.5 inches. So the Godzilla figure you're talking about is 10 inches tall. Awesome.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:40 AMI'm pretty sure that Ken Watanabe is John Serizawa... His character is lacking a surname in the casting credits available. Watanabe is John (surname).. But maybe he's going to be Muto. I dunno, would be interesting.
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaOct-20-2013 12:42 AMWe don't know for sure who Watanabe is playing. The Serizawa talk are nothing more than rumors started by imbd. Anyone can change information on imdb.com.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:43 AMIt has an apostrophe, not a quotation mark. I mean, I haven't done much measuring for a year or two, so maybe I'm wrong- But I am pretty sure an apostrophe means foot, while quotations mean inches.
BCrockett94
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:45 AMYeah, I know your right. I feel stupid, but I can admit it. But John is the character name, according to Wikipedia.
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaOct-20-2013 12:47 AMIn most circles, yes. But, c'mon, use common sense. A 10 foot Godzilla toy? Chances are it's just a minor typo. When it comes out next spring I can guarantee you, 110%, it will be 10 inches tall. Not taller than a basketball player.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:47 AMI also found chibi figures for the movie. It says "the Mutos." meaning, there's going to be more than one of the bastards.
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaOct-20-2013 12:49 AMWikipedia can also be changed by anyone and, more importantly, it doesn't list a source from which that character name came from.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:51 AMHey, I'll be laughing my ass off when you people get a ten foot tall Godzilla shoved in your mailbox come March 2014.
BCrockett94
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:52 AMYeah, but usually the good people of the internet fix things that people mess around with on wikipedia... Though, I'm probably wrong. As always.
BCrockett94
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 12:55 AMAnyways, there doesn't seem to be anything about the third monster. Mutos, now that I know that there are more than one Muto, I think it might be short for Mutants, or something to do with the word Mutant.

AdminSpaceGodzillaOct-20-2013 2:39 AMLooks like we might be seeing two versions of [b]Muto[/b]. After reading more on the [i]Urban-Collector[/i] website, I found another set of toys which reveal some more about the new Monster - potentially. Here's the product excerpt:
[b]Godzilla 2014 Movie Chibi Figure 2-Pack Asst pre-order[/b]
[i]Godzilla 2014 Movie Chibi Figure 2-Pack Asst is an Urban Collector pre-order. Godzilla and the Mutos take on an anime-style look as these highly collectible chibi-style figures! Two different 2-Packs available, each with Godzilla in a different pose, and [b]both Mutos[/b].

"[i]Both Mutos[/i]" ???

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-20-2013 3:04 PMYeah, totally beat me to the punch Chris.
I don't believe Muto is the NAME of the monster, so much as the name of the type of monster. Possibly an abbreviation of mutant or mutation.
Like Pacific Rim had a Kaiju called Knifehead.
Godzilla 2014 will have a Muto called.....TBD.
There being multiple Mutos, I really hope they are different kinds, and not something silly, like a large swarm of the same kind like we saw in Godzilla vs Megagarius.
Anyways, just my 2 cents.
