Bandai Namco gives Godzilla fans a Kaiju-sized collecting mission at San Diego Comic-Con this year.<\/p>\n

In celebration of the launch of the new Godziburst figure line, Bandai Namco unleashed eight free, commemorative pins at Booth #3345, available throughout the convention. For those looking to conquer the mission of collecting the pins, there are several ways to add pins to your haul:<\/p>\n

Join the \u201cEscape from Godzilla\u201d photo op at the booth, while supplies last. Take part in daily \u201cGodzilla Games\u201d at the booth, including Godzilla trivia, Name a Kaiju, and a Godzilla roar contest. Bandai newsies were on the convention floor handing out free items, including Godziburst pins<\/p>\n

There are eight total pins to collect, divided into three rarity tiers: Normal, Rare, and Epic. Normal and Rare pins will come in blind packaging and be distributed throughout the weekend, while one of the extremely limited Epic pins could be earned by winning select games at the booth.<\/p>\n

All pins available only while supplies last. Six of the eight pins revealed below:<\/p>\n

Legend of the White Dragon Panel \u2013 Room 6DE<\/p>\n

The story, set three years after a tragic battle, sees Erik Reed \/ the White Dragon (Frank) return to his city to protect his wife and daughter from a new threat. The film is described as a \u201cmature take on the Power Rangers franchise\u201d, but is set in its own original universe.<\/p>\n

The project was crowdfunded through Kickstarter, after a single unsuccessful campaign on the same site. Featuring Jenna Frank, this panel was a must for Power Ranger fans new and old.<\/p>\n
