The Marvelous Misadventures of Funboy!

Kaiju Patrol

This is big…really big!
I’m talkin’ huge, camera-shaking stomping down the street big!

This is about five normal everyday twelve-year-old kids that transform into 100ft monsters that fight for good and defend the world from evil! As big as buildings! Fists that crush skyscrapers! Tails that crash down shaking mountains to their core! Body slams in the ocean that cause tidal waves!

Of course, it’s not all kicking big, giant, evil monster booty. Being really big monsters, our heroes can use buses as Q-tips (with all the passengers grossed out by the monster ear wax); they can use light posts as toothpicks, buildings as backscratchers, burst water pipes/fire hydrants as drinking fountains, buildings as projection screens to watch movies.
