Trendmasters: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:46, 24 March 2024

Trendmasters was the primary Godzilla toy manufacturer in the United States in the 1990s. Aside from its classic Godzilla lines, Trendmasters released a line for the 1998 American GODZILLA film and even had a brief Gamera toy line. Many of the company's classic Godzilla figures had multiple variations ranging from packaging differences to color and whether they made sounds or not. The two main lines for the classic Godzilla series were King of the Monsters and Godzilla Wars. There was a third line called Godzilla: Doom Island, which only saw a minor release through Trendmasters' online store.

King of the Monsters

King of the Monsters was the first main line of Trendmasters' classic Godzilla figures. They were released in 1994 in various retail stores. There were multiple releases of certain characters like Godzilla, Rodan, King Ghidorah, and Mothra in different size ranges.

6-inch figures

The 6-inch figures either had sound or no sound at all included with the figures. Included with them are collector cards. The Kmart exclusives come with tiny army men and a tank, but left out the collector card, while the regular sound versions come with the army men, the tank, and a collector card. Despite the size classification being 6 inches, some of the toys range from 5-6 inches. The 6-inch figures are:

Godzilla (versions: glowing eyes; no sound; with sound; Kmart exclusive with sound)
Godzilla (Supercharged) (versions: glowing eyes; with sound)
King Ghidorah (versions: no sound; with sound; Kmart exclusive with sound)
Mothra (versions: no sound; with sound, Kmart exclusive with sound)
Mechagodzilla (versions: no sound; with sound; Kmart exclusive with sound)
Rodan (versions: no sound; with sound; Kmart exclusive with sound)
Biollante (versions: with sound; no sound)
Mecha-King Ghidorah (versions: no sound; with sound; Kmart exclusive with sound)
Battra (versions: with sound; no sound)
Gigan (versions: no sound; with sound)

10-inch figures

All of the 10-inch figures have electronics in them, as well as motion-sensors that allow the monster to roar whenever their sensors detect movement. Unlike the 6-inch figures, these did not come with collector cards, but each figure did include a bonus comic book entitled Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Monster Island Unleashed!. The sizes of these figures range from 8-10 inches. The 10-inch figures are:

Godzilla
Godzilla (Supercharged)
King Ghidorah
Mothra
Mechagodzilla (versions: regular; JC Penney exclusive that included the Garuda)
Rodan
Mecha-King Ghidorah

Bendables

Just as the name implies, these figures' limbs are able to bend with ease, allowing collectors and children alike to pose them in a variety of different ways. Like the 6-inch figures, collectible cards were included with every toy. The figures are 4 inches tall. The Bendable figures are:

Godzilla (versions: green-colored; aqua blue-colored)
King Ghidorah (versions: gold-colored; dull gold-colored)
Mothra
Mechagodzilla
Rodan

Godzilla (green version)
Godzilla (aqua blue version)
King Ghidorah
Mothra
Mechagodzilla

Hatchlings

These little toys come with eggs that they could fit inside so that children or collectors can re-enact the monsters "hatching" out of their eggs. These toys are only 2 inches tall. Included with the figures are collectible trading cards. The Hatchling figures are:

Godzilla (versions: regular; crooked neck)
King Ghidorah
Mothra
Mechagodzilla
Rodan

Godzilla (regular version)
Godzilla (crooked neck version)
King Ghidorah

Walkers

Battery-powered toys that allow the figures to move around, roar, and do attack motions. These figures stand 11-12 inches tall. The two Walker figures are:

Godzilla
King Ghidorah

Godzilla Force

Sort of a precursor to the 1998 GODZILLA toy line's human figures, Trendmasters made figures of humans and the Garuda that were part of a group called Godzilla Force, similar to the G-Force organization from the last three Heisei Godzilla films. The figures come with battle armor, weapons, a Godzilla Force badge, and a collectible trading card. The Garuda toy came with its own smaller pilot figure. These toys are only 4 inches tall, with the Garuda being 4 inches long. Figures that are part of Godzilla Force include:

David Easton
Peter Richards
Margaret O'Brien
Michael van Horn
Garuda

Godzilla Wars

The second main line of Trendmasters' classic Godzilla series was released in 1995. Many of the King of the Monsters figures were repackaged under the Godzilla Wars box, but there were also new figures made so as to add variety to the line. Like before, many of the packages had variations to them, as well as the figures themselves, and new collectible trading cards were available with most of the toys.

6-inch figures

Like in the King of the Monsters line, these figures either are available with sound or without it, as well as collectible trading cards. All of the previous 6-inch figures Trendmasters released were repackaged for this line, with only five new monsters available. Figures sold are:

GODZILLA (1998)

Trendmasters produced a short-lived toy line for the 1998 American film, featuring several figures of Godzilla, the Baby Godzillas, a few human characters from the film, and several military weapons and vehicles. A second line was planned but never released. A line for the animated series was also planned, but was cancelled after Trendmasters went bankrupt.

Trivia

Trendmasters produced figures of Battra, Mecha-King Ghidorah, SpaceGodzilla, and Destoroyah several years before the films in which they were introduced were released in the United States. Furthermore, many of Trendmasters' figures of existing kaiju were based on their Heisei designs, such as with Mechagodzilla and MOGUERA, even though the films featuring those designs had not yet been released in the U.S.
Trendmasters Godzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah toys appear in Independence Day, the film Roland Emmerich directed prior to GODZILLA.
Several of Trendmasters' figures for the 1998 film were distributed in Japan by Bandai.
Toho would later perform a 3D scan of Trendmasters' Ultimate Godzilla figure to create Zilla's CGI model for Godzilla Final Wars.^[1]
Trendmasters' Gamera: Guardian of the Universe line includes all of Gamera's enemies from the Showa series except for Barugon.
Trendmasters released a comic book titled Monster Island Unleashed to promote its first wave of Godzilla figures in 1994. The comic is notable for being the first American Godzilla comic to feature Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah (as Mecha-King Ghidorah), or Mechagodzilla. The only American comic beforehand to include any other Toho kaiju beside Godzilla was Cinema Shares' 1976 promotional comic for Godzilla vs. Megalon.
Trendmasters created several unique trademark icons for each of the "Big Five" kaiju which appear on the packaging for their toys, featuring artwork of their toys of the monsters in place of the original artwork used on Toho's icons. Unique icons for TriStar's versions of Godzilla and Baby Godzilla from the 1998 film also appeared on some of Trendmasters' toys.

+==Trivia==
-*[[Godzilla (1998 Trendmasters Toy Line)]]
+*Trendmasters produced figures of [[Battra]], [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]], [[SpaceGodzilla]], and [[Destoroyah]] several years before the films in which they were introduced were released in the [[United States]]. Furthermore, many of Trendmasters' figures of existing [[kaiju]] were based on their [[Heisei era|Heisei]] designs, such as with [[Mechagodzilla (Heisei)|Mechagodzilla]] and [[Moguera|MOGUERA]], even though the films featuring those designs had not yet been released in the U.S.
-*[[Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (Trendmasters Toy Line)]]
+*Trendmasters [[Godzilla]] and Mecha-King Ghidorah toys appear in ''[[wikipedia:Independence Day (1996 film)|Independence Day]]'', the film [[Roland Emmerich]] directed prior to ''[[GODZILLA (1998 film)|GODZILLA]]''.
-==External Links==
+*Several of Trendmasters' figures for the 1998 film were distributed in [[Japan]] by [[Bandai]].
+*[[Toho]] would later perform a 3D scan of Trendmasters' Ultimate [[ToraGoji|Godzilla]] figure to create [[Zilla]]'s CGI model for ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]''.<ref name ="SciFi Japan"/>
+*Trendmasters' Gamera: Guardian of the Universe line includes all of [[Gamera]]'s enemies from the [[Showa era|Showa series]] except for [[Barugon]].
+*Trendmasters released a comic book titled ''[[Monster Island Unleashed]]'' to promote its first wave of ''Godzilla'' figures in [[1994]]. The comic is notable for being the first American ''Godzilla'' comic to feature [[Mothra]], [[Rodan]], [[King Ghidorah]] (as [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]]), or [[Mechagodzilla (Heisei)|Mechagodzilla]]. The only American comic beforehand to include any other [[Toho]] kaiju beside Godzilla was [[Cinema Shares]]' [[1976]] [[Godzilla vs. Megalon (comic)|promotional comic]] for ''[[Godzilla vs. Megalon]]''.
+*Trendmasters created several unique [[trademark icons]] for each of the "Big Five" kaiju which appear on the packaging for their toys, featuring artwork of their toys of the monsters in place of the original artwork used on [[Toho]]'s icons. Unique icons for [[TriStar Pictures|TriStar]]'s versions of [[Godzilla (TriStar)|Godzilla]] and [[Baby Godzilla (TriStar)|Baby Godzilla]] from the [[GODZILLA (1998 film)|1998 film]] also appeared on some of Trendmasters' toys.
