After the reveals from day 1 at the New York Toy Fair, there was a high possibility that nothing else that was Godzilla related would be shown. NECA won day 1. However, with the presence of PlayMates Toys at the convention there was still some anticipation for more to be revealed. Many fans have waited long hours for any information or pictures of the Godzilla vs Kong toy display at PlayMates' booth. Eventually, we did get a little bit of information about the toys day 2 was a dud.
It was reported by many that visited the PlayMates Toys booth said that the toys for Godzilla vs Kong were present, but taking pictures were forbidden. On the other hand, they have also reported that the toys will be officially revealed soon, and yet never specified how soon. All of us assumed that there would be something shown that same day. None of us thought about what "soon" really meant until after reports of pictures not being allowed. Soon could mean tomorrow, next week, or even next month.
I have heard one rumor that the toys are waiting to be approved. If the rumors are true, then perhaps what we saw in the leaked photos in January were not the final product. Since then, the toys could have been changed. It could explain why PlayMates Toys made the display so private. Of course, it is also to avoid spoilers from leaking out, but they don't want to reveal a product that is not fully approved yet to the public. Since people are saying that they will be revealed soon we are not gonna have to wait much longer to see them.
In the meantime, day 2 was mostly a bust except for that small piece of information. I expect that the same can be said for days 3 and 4. If there were no pictures of the toys on days 1 and 2 then the chances to see them today and tomorrow are slim to none. If there are any Godzilla toys being revealed whether it is from PlayMates Toys, NECA, or Bandai/Tamashii Nations then today should be the day to do so. Otherwise, we may as well say Toy Fair is over.
