Trivia

Early Rodan concept art

All of the monsters in Monogram's Godzilla Classic Series 1 of figural bag clips are from the Showa series, with the exception of Mechagodzilla, who is modeled after his Millennium incarnation. All monsters from Series 2 were from the Heisei era, while all subsequent waves included monsters from various eras.
Monogram is responsible for the first toys of the Gotengo, the Dorat, LittleGodzilla, Orga, Megaguirus, Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah, Kamacuras, Kumonga, Zilla, Gezora, Gaira, Sanda, Giant Condor, Shockirus, Bagan and the MonsterVerse Mothra larva in the West. Additionally, Monogram is responsible for the first ever figure of the King Kong monster Gaw, the Parrot Frog from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and the Kaiju Zords and the Kaiju Power Rangers from Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II.
Concept art for the King Kong of Skull Island figural bag clip set erroneously labels the Neon Squid and Giant Spider toys as "Mire Squid" and "Mother Longlegs", respectively, after monsters in the Monsterverse franchise.
Concept art for the first Rodan bag clip from Series 1 erroneously depicted him with arms in front of his wings, which was corrected for the final design. Additionally, the original design for Rodan gave him a brown color scheme, whereas the final design utilized the coloration based on his appearance in Godzilla Final Wars (2004).
The Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire series of 3D foam figural bag clips first revealed the existence of the Parrot Frog.
Monogram's Kaiju Power Rangers bag clips appear to be based on Matt Frank's cover art for Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II #4 rather than their appearances within the series itself. Notable changes include the color of the Yellow Baragon Kaiju Ranger's and the Black King Caesar Kaiju Ranger's ears, as well as the color of the Blue Anguirus Kaiju Ranger's spikes.
