Fisher-Price has a brand called Imaginext. They produced a great number of pretty fun Fantasy-themed toy lines over the decades. You can often find them at yard sales, thrift shops and online auctions. Definitely cheaper than GamesWorkshop!

You got it! Yeah, there are no bad choices here: all goofy & fun. Each one has certain things to commend it. Mechagodzilla (74) is probably the best objectively; Megalon (73) has the lowest budget, but is the "most meme'ed"; Gigan (72) is my personal favorite. You'll have a good time either way 👾🍻🐲
For really physical battles, you can do no better than the Godzilla movies from the 1970s. They all have great monster-on-monster action. These three in particular have "tag team" style battles:
Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972)
Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973)
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Great cover and a great issue! The Yetrigar battle in the Grand Canyon is tons of fun!
That precious baby boy, Minya the Son of Godzilla, with the most moist aura. He's looking a bit shook.
I don't want to talk about what happened this weekend. It's #MinillaMonday
Would love to see you at @cartooncrossroads.bsky.social one of these days. I bet you could have a good time at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library. AND there are no less than three indie theaters in the area that have weekly rep screenings, so you might find a good film to catch too.
Great review! Hear, hear 🍻
A couple years ago, I guest'ed on the Monsters vs Men Podcast to discuss MEG 2: THE TRENCH. We talked about how Meg resembles some of Toho's international co-productions AND how it kind of resembles a Chinese buffet!

5 panel comic P1: Title. "HOW TO DRAW A HORSE" P2: "SKETCH A SHAPE LIKE THIS" Beneath, we see a pencil sketch of a kinda squooshed rectangtangtangtangtangle P3: "TURN IT INTO A HEAD" The shape is now a horse head. This shape, it gives head. P4: "NOW, COMPLETE THAT HORSE!" We dolly back to see the glorious complete abomination. The head simply has four legs jutting out of it. P5: A wide panel, showing the crime against creation frolicking through a field. A blue sky filled with fluffy pink clouds fills the background. On the top left, a single word "congratulation"
Horses. Up there with bicycles as the bane of many an artist.
However, I figured out a foolproof way of drawing them, and I want to share that with you! 😊
Wonderful news!

Effects of a video game intervention on symptoms, training motivation, and visuo-spatial memory in depression By Moritz Bergmann, Ines Wollbrandt, Lisa Gittel, Eva Halbe, Sarah Mackert, Alexandra Philipsen, Silke Lux Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 2023 doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1173652 Methods: a total of 46 clinically depressed individuals were treatment including psychotherapy and/or randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental "3D video gaming" group (n = 14) which played Super Mario Odyssey, an active control group (n = 16) which trained with a computer program "CogPack," and a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group (n = 16) which received a standard clinical pharmacotherapy. Results: regarding depressive symptoms, a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who showed clinical levels of depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory was only found in the 3D video gaming group (which played Super Mario Odyssey). Conclusion: besides a standalone cognitive training, the current findings suggest that cognitive trainings using a video game have potential to increase subjective well-being, show higher levels of training motivation, and lead to improvements in visuo-spatial memory functions in MDD. The proportion of participants that showed depressive symptoms (BDI-II ≥ 13) at pre- (T1) and post-assessment (T2). For Super Mario Odyssey, 100 at T1 and 57 at T2. Note: information heavily abridged. For the full paper, see link above.
A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.

The 1970s Marvel Godzilla series has a lot of excellent and fun stories. The art is incredible too, perfect Bronze Age comic goodness. Yes, Godzilla is "off model", but somehow that makes these stories fit in even better in the Showa era.
Do it like Frankie, be the good kind of MONSTER!🧟♂️
