QUESTION FOR BILL MIMBU...
My son has the Kong Skull Island 18in. Kong figure. He is wanting a Godzilla 18in. toy to fight with. Now, my son is 8yrs old, and I would like to get something playable at that sc a le that doesn't cost a king's ransom. I've tried to do my research and turned up nothing. Then I thought, if anyone will know about this, it's Bill.
Does such a thing exist?
If so, what is the usual price range for it?

Stephen, sorry for the tardiness in getting back to you.
You might want to look into the NECA line of Godzilla figures, since most of them are around the $20 range and were found at Toys R Us or available on Amazon.You can also check out some of the reviews on Youtube for these figures, like:
Steven's Toy Reviews (Occasional salty language warning)
EDIT - Unfortunately, looks like the closest to your son's 18" Kong are the 12" tall NECA Big-Gs in the $20 range. Kong will certainly have a height advantage over those...

Thanks for the response Bill. Hopefully the company that made.his.Kong will have the license for the Godzilla movie and eventually make one.

Nice to see the new Star Wars figures will be $8 in the USA and £11 in the UK. That's around $13 at the current exchange rate.
I'm getting a little fed up with this.

Why is it so hard to portray a maple leaf? Headpiece looks wrong.

Cowl is off and it looks a lot like the Eaglemoss statue, complete with gigantic legs. Defined musculature is fine, but I don't think he should be so massive.

Thinking of getting this one.
No longer thinking about it, the deed is done.
