I finally experienced the new Masters of the Universe (2026) movie in IMAX with my two oldest children, and we had an absolute blast! As longtime fans of the toys, cartoons, comics, and the larger mythology of Eternia, we went into this film knowing the deep lore. Surprisingly, one of the reasons we enjoyed the movie so much was because it didn’t try to cram decades of backstory into a two-hour blockbuster. In this video essay, I discuss why I think the filmmakers made the right choice by creating an accessible summer adventure that welcomes both lifelong fans and newcomers alike. I also share one criticism my family had after watching the film. As a franchise that bridges generations, I believe the use of strong language and sexual innuendos could have been minimized without sacrificing the fun or excitement of the story. This isn’t a spoiler-heavy breakdown or a lore deep dive. It’s a conversation about adapting beloved franchises, sharing fandom with our children, and why sometimes a movie’s greatest strength is simply reminding us why we fell in love with these worlds in the first place. Did the new Masters of the Universe movie strike the right balance? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Hey everyone, I wanted to take a moment to talk about why there’s been a noticeable gap in uploads here on The Monster Report. Over the past several months, I’ve been dealing with some ongoing health issues that have made it difficult to stay consistent. These challenges have affected my mobility, often causing significant pain when moving around, and they’ve also brought on a level of fatigue that’s been hard to push through. In this video, I go into more detail about what’s been going on, what I’ve been experiencing day to day, and how it’s impacted my ability to create the kind of content I’m passionate about. It hasn’t been easy to step back, but it’s been necessary to focus on recovery and taking care of myself. That said, I want you to know this isn’t the end—far from it. Time for a Monster Report Channel Update. I’m actively working toward getting back on track, and I’m looking forward to returning to regular uploads filled with the entertaining and informative content you’ve come to expect from this channel. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for sticking with me. It truly means more than you know. — The Monster Report

Back in January of 2023, I began a downward spiral of health issues. That coincidentally was the day of the US release of Shin Ultraman.

Eli and I attended the premier of Shin Ultraman in Muncie, Indiana. After this, I ended up in the hospital with terrible pain that wouldn’t go away.

As I said before. It’s time for a Monster Report Channel Update. It’s long overdue so I hope you’ll support me through this time.

Imagine if you will… a world where the simple act of getting out of bed, walking up stairs, or even lifting a coffee mug becomes a daily battle. Not against some creature lurking in the shadows… but against something far more insidious. Something unseen. Something that lives within.

What if Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (2017) had an all-new trailer? In this fan-made remake, I reimagine the epic anime film that launched Netflix’s Godzilla trilogy — amplifying the scale, tension, and sheer power of the King of the Monsters. 🌎🔥 This custom trailer edit highlights the desperate return of humanity to a ruined Earth, the haunting sci-fi atmosphere, and the overwhelming presence of the largest Godzilla ever put to screen. Using dynamic cuts, cinematic pacing, and a reworked sound design, this remake aims to capture the awe, tragedy, and apocalyptic intensity that define this bold anime entry in the Godzilla franchise. If you’re a fan of kaiju, anime, or the MonsterVerse-style spectacle, this trailer remake of Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters is for you. Let me know what you think — would you have marketed the film differently?

In this video, I’m taking a close look at two standout pieces from Bandai’s Ichibansho line: Godzillasaurus and the Dorats 🦖🔥 We’ll break down sculpt quality, paint apps, scale, and overall presentation, plus how these figures stack up against other Ichibansho and Godzilla collectibles. Whether you’re a longtime kaiju collector or just getting into Godzilla figures, this review covers what works, what could be better, and whether these are worth adding to your shelf.

The X-Plus 25cm Godzilla 1974 Toho Daikaiju Series was released in late January of 2025. Based on the Mekka goji suit from the 1974 film Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, this highly detailed figure captures the likeliness of the big G perfectly! We have Monster Maker 28 sculptor Shunsuke Niwa to thank for the love and attention put into this film accurate representation of our favorite King of the Monsters! I’m taking us back to where this suit originally came from, 1973’s Godzilla vs. Megalon. If you remember the SoshingekiGoji suit was finally retired after 4 years and 4 movies. And none to soon, as it was beginning to fall apart in 1972’s Godzilla vs Gigan. The brand new, MegaroGoji suit was built with softer features, including pillow-like dorsal fins, large brown eyes, a rounded-flat snout and articulated eyes and eyelids. These characteristics gave Godzilla a somewhat wholesome and friendly look. Some minor changes were made to this suit for Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974). The articulation in the eyes and eyelids were dropped as well as greater detail added to the muzzle. His eye color was darkened to be completely black. He’s not the specifically portrayed in this film as the kid-friendly hero. This Godzilla is ready to fight and defend his territory! There’s only room for one Godzilla on this planet! Measuring at a height of 31cm, or just over 12”, and a length from front to tail of 34cm or just over 13”. The version represented in this video is the standard version of the X-Plus 25cm Godzilla 1974 . The Shonen Ric Exclusive version includes interchangeable arms. This figure was purchased from Kokomo Toys and Collectibles.
