When it comes to categorizing a toy like this, would you describe it as:
A) Designer Toy
B) Mini figure
C) Kaiju
D) Neo Kaiju

Huh?

Super7 would lose their heads if this got labeled kaiju. In an interview last year, Brian Flynn said that Super7 doesn't really make kaiju; the people who own it/work there collect kaiju toys. He wants Super7's toys to be considered just "well-designed toys". "Designer toys" won't cut it with him b/c of the stigma/precedent of that term. I think "Neo Kaiju" got stigmatized too. I guess the technical term for this figure category could be "pocket". "Pocket" feels like an eastern version of "mini-figure" which makes me feel like we could categorize it "mini-figure," but I'm sure someone hates that expression for some reason too :) OK who else wants to enter into this semantics fray?!

Whether Super 7 like it or not, I still think Kaiju when I look at these. It's a small vinyl monster, so Kaiju. It's not a bad thing, Kaiju is awesome!!

Not to beat a dead alligator, but this toy doesn't actually fit the definition of "kaiju," which is: Japanese monster. This is a cute alligator, nothing monstrous about it. And it has nothing to do with Japanese lore or history. It's only tie to Japan is that it was produced there. It's an alligator designed by an American. I'd vote for "designer toy" as the definition and say Super7 has to just deal with that.

This is definitely a monster (it's a MUMMY aka a type of monster), and not all Japanese kaiju is strictly horrific. And not all kaiju is connected to Japanese lore. I have one that looks like a blob of goo/a nose-eating monster, what does that have to do with Japan? Nothing, it's just a monster. And there are certainly a few pieces that quality as cutesy, so if you are going STRICTLY by looks, yes, the Pocket Mummy Gator could fall quite easily into the Kaiju realm.

Kaiju doesn't refer to a figure of a monster; hell all the stuff Kidrobot puts out then would technically be kaiju. Kaiju refers to the process that the figure is made in, namely, it is hand spun vinyl pulled from molds and not rotocasted vinyl that is created by machines. Yes, Brian has stated that he doesn't want to be called kaiju, but you cannot deny that his process was directly influenced by kaiju (it's actually the exact same) and that, without a doubt, this is kaiju. If you want to make a distinction between US and Japanese kaiju, fine, call the US ones soft vinyl, but at the end of the day, you're just arguing semantics and this is most definitely a form of kaiju.

Sorry to interrupt, but according the the source of all super-accurate info; Wikipedia, Kaiju translates as "Strange Beast".

Ah, you're right. I kind of forget this figure is also a mummy. I still disagree that this figure is a form of kaiju though, but I don't have a dog in this fight. What would be useful is to have someone on Rotocasted who actually collects kaiju toys chime in on this debate.

I'm not really to bothered either way. It would be nice for categorisation reasons. If I have to call it, I'd call kaijiu,

Furthermore, where did SirNarwhal get his view on what "kaiju" is?

Point 2 is where its all at!

I have no idea where SirNarwhal got that from but it highlights the issue of the word 'kaiju' now and it's (mis) use among toy nerds. This is a) Designer Toy

All very interesting. Do we actually need to differentiate designer toys and kaiju at all?
