Saw this at my FLGS. Godzilla is a smidge larger than the Heroclix PacRim pieces. Will snag a pic this weekend with some clix next to it for a scale reference for you.

If you could find those cheap the buildings would be pretty useful for a scenario.

I believe they are hollow shells with an open side at the back, so they only look good from one direction. Something to keep in mind.

Is it just me or is that shockingly expensive for a mediocre little toy set? I was expecting something like 8.99 or so...
