Godzilla Doom Island MegaMutations Prototype Figures (Trendmasters Contest Giveaway Grand Prize)

Special thanks to ‪@MonsterIslandBuddies‬ for the nudge to do this video. As the little cat and ape intro suggests, I'm not really a content creator. I started this channel mostly to preserve Turner Classic Movies host segments and mostly let the channel sit after I cut cable and couldn't record them anymore. Then, after a main source channel went down, I stepped in to re-upload the complete Spectreman dubbed series in the best quality available at the time (the first 20 of those episodes have since been uploaded elsewhere in much higher quality). As a result, I've never even monetized any videos or anything because I wasn't creating any of the content outside of clip reels I couldn't make money from because they had someone else's music on them anyway. I was using YouTube for what I felt it was best suited when it launched: as a preservationist hobby place to watch old TV recordings. My first video was the hatching of a leopard moth from a cocoon because it hatched at midnight and my nephew wasn't here to see it happen. I had to release it right away so that it could join the world, and my nephew understood keeping it captive an extra day after metamorphosis could have defeated the whole purpose of raising it from a caterpillar. Sometime in 1997 and my first year of college, I was an Internet first-timer and only had web access through my college computer lab. Even before Hotmail, my first email was a little college EDU address, which I used to enter a giveaway on the Trendmasters website. This was an exciting time for Godzilla fans that sadly went downhill as a lot of figures were never released. Rather than let those beauties go to waste, they offered some prototypes to the fans. I went home for the semester and quickly forgot about it. I was sure I was never going to win anything in my life, but then the phone rang. They said they'd been trying to get hold of me for a little while. I'd won their grand prize, and I was in disbelief. Someone at Trendmasters had the presence of mind to look at the EDU email address and figure that I was home for the holidays, so, rather than just draw another name after I didn't email them back, they tracked me down at home. I don't remember a lot of details of the conversation, but I do remember the person on the other end going into detail about how the figures were constructed and how fragile some of them were. I realized how fragile when I received the first package. The box was huge, almost the size of a washing machine, and inside it, wrapped in a gigantic ball of bubble wrap, was the 12-inch MegaMutation Destoroyah. Despite that care in shipping, its left wing was already broken inside the box as it was not attached well in the first place. You could tell that it had been glued before I got it. The torso, arms, thighs, and head were made of some fragile hollow plastic. The feet were vinyl, and the wings were made of heavy solid resin that caused them to buckle under their own weight as time went on. Despite not being handled much and kept in a glass case, both of the wings just broke and fell off on their own and had to be glued back on. A separate box held the 6-inch MM Destoroyah, 12-inch MM Godzilla and his smaller 6-inch counterpart. They probably had some play wear from their time in the Trendmasters office, but they felt pretty close to store-ready. The large MM Godzilla is close to two feet long from head to enormous tail and had a few loose parts, but even after almost 25 years, all three of the figures still have very strong spring-loaded features as if they were brand new. I played with these three a little, but they spent most of their time stored safely behind glass with their fragile companion. If anyone from the Trendmasters offices remembers our phone conversation and/or can fill in extra details about the contest itself (I've seen one other collector blog talk about the unreleased toys and show some alternate prototypes), then I would love to hear from you. You'd think this contest would be a vivid memory for me, but I was going through a pretty rough family time and even some of the high points are a blur. I was also in shock that I'd won. As I said, I'm not a content creator anywhere but inside my feverish mind. I admire people like ‪@MonsterIslandBuddies‬ who make the effort to put themselves out there to showcase what they love. I've always had the dream to be a creator, but for the last five years I've just limited that to doing weekly livetweets of movies and tokusatsu on Twitter because my schedule doesn't allow for much else. That's the closest I've felt I'd ever get to my old dream of being a horror host. I love puppets and have some ideas for modifying that plush gorilla, so you might see more in the future if time and arthritis permit me to revive my craftwork. In any case, I hope this video is enjoyed for its historical value. I also hope styrofoam squeaking from my makeshift "light box" isn't too annoying. Thanks for watching.
