OK, I have put some new Photos over on the Yahoo Group.
But to help get people interested, here are a couple just for fun.
Start with a "Where's Waldo" type picture:
Can you spot the Godzilla?

The D&D Miniatures Collection and the Toy Box are both giving up some great (Cheep because they are already owned) Monsters. 
Come by the Group and post some Monster Mayhem.

Yep, the 6" guy is very big. The 4" s closer to what I think looks good on the table, but if you want the "I am as tall as a 20 story building" feel. The six inch Godzilla does it very well.

Has anyone noted through play that there is an annoying tendency to miss in combat? And that a monster with high strength has no advantage when throwing things? I'm working on a fix for the throwing stuff, maybe giving a str bonus for throwing....but I have no idea how to fix the 'missing' problem. All comments, criticisms, sarcasm welcome. 
my 2cents,

KAIJU: Monster Scale - Taller Than A...
Hi Guys,
What I've discovered is that:
- If using human units, buildings and scenery, 2" to 4" (50-100mm) monsters seem to scale best with miniatures of the 1/285, 1/300, 5mm and 6mm scales.
- Practically speaking though, any miniature between 1" to 4" (25mm to 100mm) seem to work fine with a few smaller miniatures for spider swarms and the like.
- I have been basing all of my monsters on fender washers of these sizes:
- 3/4" for small swarm-type monsters...
- 1" for most 25mm scale figures...
- 1&1/4" for slightly larger figures...
- 2" for the larger 3" to 4" in height monsters...
- And occasionally a larger base for REALLY BIG monsters...
------
I'm still looking for a Staypuft Marshmallow man like the one from Ghostbusters... ?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

 I have not played enough to notice. I wonder if it is because in the movies they hit so much without doing damage to each other?

I would agree with Maksim here. The 4" Godzilla looks nice on the table if you just want a face off. If you want them to look more like the movies, then the six inch looks better.
