Sadly, it seems they went out of business. I was told it was announced in an issue of G-fan, although last I looked there was no announcement on their website or blog, which I think are gone now anyway. A real shame, since those were some of my favorite items being produced.  :(

I recently saw a Godzilla at my comic shop if that helps.

They were at Wizard World Chicago last year and had an exclusive Godzilla figure.  It is the same one that came out, only this one he is holding a rock and is signed by the sculpter.  Limited to 50 pieces.  I had to get one.  Saw a Ghidra at this years show, but didn't get it.  Didn't know they went under.  Too bad.
