I Need To Play "Monsters Destroy All Cities"

This one is pretty new so it hasn't really collected dust as much. Well, what can I say about it? A DIY oldschool-styled wargame entirely centered around Kaijus: those giant, city-stomping rubber suit monsters of Japanese television and movies sounds pretty damn cool plus I happen to have a few monster Transformers action figures I could use in my collection, either as a kaiju or a monster-themed mecha. While it hasn't been the focus of this blog much I'm an absolutely fanboy of kaiju and mecha stuff so this one would be pretty fun to play.

As an added bonus, here's some fun ideas for unorthodox miniature ideas for all your Kaiju and mecha needs.

Breakout Beasts

That's totally a Red Dragon.

These are made by MegaConstrux formerly known as Mega Blox. They come in eggs filled with goo and the egg is reusable and have primarily a theme of dragons, which is very fitting since the most iconic kaijus are reptilian and/or draconic. They are also customizable as you can swap parts and with some point one could build their own custom critters. They are also roughly the size of a 'Large' miniature in D&D, meaning their size is fairly spot on for any young draconic monster or perhaps the mighty and terrifying steed of some black knight or evil sorcerer.

They come blind-packed in their egg but don't worry, you can at least avoid duplicates with a simple trick. Each different model has a code molded somewhere on the plastic egg so you can tell each of them apart if you're really interested. Of course, duplicates aren't a bad thing and you might want them if you plan on making a small squad of monsters.

Transformers Generations

In particular, the Battle Patrol already looks like
their alternate mode exist to shoot at Godzilla!

The long-going Generations line of Transformers is basically a 'classics' line, with modern updates to all the classic characters from the most basic and iconic to the utterly obscure. At smaller price points they currently have guys who are very small but still articulate. In particular the currently-being-released (as of this post, anyway) Micromasters, who are two-packs of tiny robots. Their vehicle mode make them well-suited to be used as regular army vehicles when you don't need robots. Meanwhile, the Battlemasters turn into weapons but they make good mechs and can hold their own guns. Same for the predecessor, the Prime Masters (who also happen to look like tokusatsu monsters!)

There is also, as mentioned, quite a few Transformers who look like mechanical monsters unleashed by some mad scientist to fight a cartoonish robotic superhero every saturday morning.

Mythical Realms (and other) figures by Safari

This guy totally look like he's going to fight Mothra
or something.

I've written about these guys before and even statted the Alien Dragon for shit and giggles. What else can be said? They're nice enough, they're a decent size and they look good. If one take time to browse their inventory they will find some suitably unorthodox and weird critters which is perfect because, for kaiju, the stranger the better. Sadly some of the cooler ones are sold out in many online stores you might need to hunt them down a bit. They also have figures of actual prehistoric beasts, including dinosaurs so that's also neat, since dinosaurs are a staple of Kaiju designs.
