In 1974 kaiju fans were greeted to the 14th installment in Toho's Godzilla franchise with Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.

However, the real king emerges to confront this doppelgänger, leading to an epic and climactic battle. Diamond Select Toys is trying to capture the power of these two mighty beasts with their latest set of vinyl banks. These figures can now save some coins on top of destroying the city, with each design featuring a coin slot in their back. Each ToHo creation has a nice retro design and will be a fun addition to the growing Godzilla collection. Mechgodzilla will come in at $29.9, while the 1974 Godzilla will come in at $39.99. Pre-orders are already live for both online with a Q1 2025 release and they can also be reserved at your Local Comic Book Store.
