Last month I blogged this little figure by Arco, wondering who the City fella was.

WE BIULT THIS CITY WITH ARCO TOYS
WILL O'S CORONATION SHOP WINDOW
TUGGY TOOTER AND THE AIR CUSHION
I love this Fisher Price Tuggy Tooter. FP were just genius at creating cute transport toys like this. It toots when you press the bellow.
Have you got a Tuggy Tooter?
I also like this Air Cushion Craft, which I saved the picture of from an auction. Very Thunderbirds I reckon!

WORLD CLASSIC ATTACKER
KEV'S NEW LUNAR ORBITER
GIANT STEPS
Back on my Jack Jones I'm turning to Titans for company, those big beasts from movie prehistory,
I've just watched Godzilla V. Kong, the monster rumble from a couple of years ago. I thought I'd seen it at the flicks but I think the Pandemic stopped me.
I enjoyed the film. I'm a monster nut so its hard no to. Godzilla and Kong never disappoint. There's plenty of Kaiju action with big strides in the whole Hollow Earth mythology being fleshed out too, with some neat Nebuchadnezzar-like craft zipping through the crust. They made me think of the project SWORD Beetle in the SWORD Annual.
Its always a comfort knowing that an Alpha has our backs and two Titans are clearly better then one when it comes to keeping any new baddun's at bay.
This movie does bring back an old foe. I won't spoil it, suffice to say that its a proper dukeroo between the titans and a fair few window-panes get rattled.
On the downside I found the constant splattering of neon colours a distraction from the Saurian action, although that actually may be how Hong Kong looks, lit up like a Christmas tree.
Overall tho, I enjoyed Godzilla v. Kong and look forward to the next instalment in Monarch's quest to find all of the Titans.
Have you seen G v K?
Which is your fave Kaiju film? Any Kaiju toys?
Did Gerry Anderson go in for any massive monsters?
and PS. watch this space, next week but one is Gorgo week here on MC!
