  S.H. Monsterarts Potential Accessory Breakdown (Showa)

As requested by Henshin Justice Unlimited Forums' Mr. Yellow

Operating under the assumption that S.H. Monsterarts doesn't drop accessories altogether (and I really hope that isn't the case), I have compiled a list of accessories that I believe should come with various Toho kaiju.

First Godzilla

I believe a release of the 1954 Godzilla is inevitable.  Especially with the beast's 60th birthday coming up.  Included with Godzilla 1954 should be some (or all) of these accessories: 

*Defense perimeter electrical towers

*A train to chomp

*An oxygen Destroyer

*Diet building base

*Trilobite

Anticipation: ****

Likelihood of Release: *****

Anguirus

For Godzilla's first enemy (and later closest ally), the accessories are a bit difficult to figure out.  Being a purely tooth and claw fighter, beams and projectiles are out of the question.  

1955

*Osaka castle

*Attachable flame effect parts (for his death scene)

1968-1974

*Broken jaw (from his battle with Mechagodzilla)

Anticipation:*****

Likelihood of Release: ****

Rodan

Rodan is one of the more popular Toho kaiju, so I won't be shocked if he's announced soon.  Some possible accessories could include:

1956

*Air blast effect part

*Fighter jets

*Egg w/hatching baby rodan

*Tiny Meganeurons

1964-1968

*Flying stand

*Xilien saucer

*Dolphin

Anticipation:****

Likelihood of Release: ****

Moguera

The odd mecha from the 1957 film The Mysterians should be include the following:

*Tank(s)

*Mysterian UFO

Anticipation:*

Likelihood of Release: **

Varan

Varan the unbelievable would be a bit tricky since he possesses membranes between his arms and legs that stretch when he flies.  As I believe that would be extremely difficult to pull off with articulation, it seems the only other option would be swap out, non articulated arms and legs.  These would have the wing membranes stretched out like so:

*Another accessory that makes sense is the Baradagi idol

*A flying stand

Anticipation:*****

Likelihood of Release: ***

Maguma

:

A giant walrus from the film Gorath, Maguma falls into the "extremely unlikely to be made" category.  I personally can't think of much that could be included with him, aside from an iceberg base.

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: *

King Kong 1962

Toho's iteration of King Kong has a lot of different options for accessories:

*A pack-in Oodako (giant octopus)

*Jugs of berry juice

*Electric current effect parts for when Kong is supercharged

*A tree (to shove down a certain monster's throat)

*A hand holding Fumiko Sakurai

*a train car

Anticipation:****

Likelihood of Release: ***

Manda

The only accessory for Manda should be obvious:  The super submarine, Atragon (aka the Gotengo)!  Manda will be able to wrap his highly articulated body around his mortal enemy to simulate their battle in the 1963 film, Atragon. 

Anticipation:*****

Likelihood of Release: *

King Ghidorah

There's nothing much that a large sized figure like King Ghidorah can be realistically packed with. The Gravity Beams are obvious, though they shouldn't be a nightmare to set up like the previous Ghidorah release.  

*The meteor from which he emerged is another option, though I could see it being omitted due to the figure's sheer size.

Anticipation:****

Likelihood of Release: ****

Frankenstein

Another longshot, the heroic monster frankenstein would likely be a licensing nightmare.  Nevertheless, he has a ton of interesting options:

*A flaming log

*His severed hand

*A boulder

*Several sets of hands including fists, grabbing, open for holding the flaming log accessory

Anticipation:**

Likelihood of Release: *

Baragon

Frankenstein's prehistoric nemesis could come with a number of interesting accessories:

*Alternate, light up horn

*Beam effect

*Stand for when Baragon jumps

Anticipation:*****

Likelihood of Release: ***

Gaira/Sanda

The monstrous siblings from War of the Gargantuas should come with:

*A ship for Gaira to terrorize

*Maser tanks

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: *

Ebirah

This not so shrimpy shrimp hails from the 1966 film, Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster aka Godzilla, Ebirah, Mothra: Big Duel in the South Seas).  Despite being an overgrown crustacean, Ebirah's film offers a number of interesting accessory options:

*The Giant Condor

*Red Bamboo ship

*Red Bamboo Jet

*If Mothra is released, an attachable rescue net would be awesome

Anticipation:*****
Likelihood of Release: **

Kamacuras

Kamacuras had me a bit stumped.  However two choices stand out:

*An unhatched Minya egg.

*Alternate wing parts

*A flying stand

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: **

 Kumonga

Godzilla's eight-legged enemy should come with:

*A web snare to wrap other figures in

*Flame effects to simulate Kumonga's death scene

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: **

 Minya

If Minya is ever released, it should be a two pack with infant and adolescent versions of Godzilla's son.  In addition to that:

*Radioactive rings

*Atomic ray

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: ****

Mechani Kong

Kong's robotic double can come with a removable grenade belt and alternate flash effect pieces for his eyes.

Anticipation:**

Likelihood of Release: *

 Gorosaurus

   This overgrown theropod shared the screen with Kong in 1967's King Kong Escapes.  His accessories should include:

                                               *An alternate broken jaw piece

*A stand for his trademark "Kangaroo Kick".

*The Giant Sea Snake

Anticipation:*****

Likelihood of Release: ***

Gabara

                                                                                                     

The bully of Monster Island, Gabara should come with effect parts to simulate his electrical current attack.

Anticipation:**

Likelihood of Release: **

Gezora/Ganimes/Kamoebas

The Yog trio is very unlikely.  However, the only accessory I can think of is an alternate extended neck piece for Kamoebas.

Anticipation:*****

Likelihood of Release: *

Hedorah

The Smog Monster would be a very large, bulky figure.  As such, the accessory would be limited.  Nevertheless, Hedorah's tadpole form and eye lasers should be included.  The rest of the pollution beast's forms can be released in an Evolution set.

Anticipation:****

Likelihood of Release: ****

Megalon

Megalon has a number of interesting attacks that could easily be translated into accessory form:

*Napalm bombs

*Swap out drill form hands

*A swap out, alternate horn with lightning bolts attached

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: ***

King Ceasar

Debuting in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) this deity should come with the following accessories:

*The sacred statue

*A multi colored reflected beam piece which could fit into his eye sockets

*A Black Hole Aliens saucer

Anticipation:***

Likelihood of Release: **
