In addition to said action figure series, MIB has several other regular series:
* Orga Reviews: Reviews of non-interactive work by ''Monster Island Buddies''' Orga.
* MIB's Top 5: Top 5 lists starring a disembodied pair of hands and [[MsFanservice Clickbait]].
* Monster Island Plushies: A LighterAndSofter spinoff of ''Monster Island Buddies'' that's more kid-friendly and largely existed to advertise MIB's own plushie.
* Play Time!: Reviews of retro and modern ''Godzilla'' toys and merchandise hosted by MIB.
* Video Game Reviews: Reviews of ''Godzilla''-adjacent video game reviews, the first 15 of these were done as part of a larger MythArc culminating in a GrandFinale.
----
!!While the ''Monster Island Buddies'' is the only work of fiction on the channel, the other videos contain a substantial amount of tropes:
* AbstractEater: Mr. Pockets eats personalities. Thus, someone with multiple personalities is like a buffet to this... thing.
* TheAlcoholic: Video Game Reviews MIB is frequently shown drinking excessively, waking up surrounded by bottles after passing out.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Video Game Reviews MIB yearns for his high school crush, Top 5's host has feelings for Clickbait, and Clickbait shows extreme interest in Top 5 MIB once only for it to evaporate as soon as he acknowledges/reciprocates.
* CallBack: Props or jokes from earlier videos frequently make a return in one way or the other. One such
* EnemyWithin: Mr. Pockets resides within MIB as a separate personality and is an existential threat to his psyche.
* TheFaceless: Host MIB is never shown without his Godzilla mask. The closest he's come to a face reveal is wearing ''other'' Godzilla masks.
* FliesEqualsEvil: When the demonic-seeming entity Mr. Pockets hijacks the review of ''VideoGame/GodzillaMonsterOfMonsters'', flies are buzzing around Pockets' gnarled hands.
* GrandFinale: ''VideoGame/GodzillaMonsterOfMonsters'' serves as a finale for the Myth Arc of the Video Game reviews, resolving the long-running MythArc in the form of an extended ShoutOut to the Literature/NESGodzillaCreepypasta.
* {{Kayfabe}}: Acknowledged and temporarily broken with the brief introduction of Monster Island Baby, who doesn't exist in the fiction of the channel but had to be included for the reading of ''Literature/GodzillaVsKongSometimesFriendsFightButTheyAlwaysMakeUp''.
* MsFanservice: Clickbait is an attractive woman in a tanktop whose purpose both in and out of universe is to draw clicks by being, well, an attractive woman in a thumbnail, a fact blatantly lampshaded by her name.
* MythArc: The ''MIB Reviews'' series of video game reviews has an arc quietly going on in the background over the course of over a dozen reviews spanning over a year culminating in MIB confronting some EldrichAbomination named Mr. Pockets.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Apparently MIB managed to defeat Mr. Pockets completely offscreen and since Mr. Pockets ate all his personalities, MIB's now mentally healthier than ever.
* TheOneThatGotAway: The video game review series has a running gag that MIB continually pines for his high school crush Jessica Newmire.
* SitcomArchnemesis: Craig Hornburger, a guy who went to high school with MIB, comes up repeatedly as basically MIB's shorthand for someone he hates, largely without sufficient reason (other than dating MIB's high school crush).
* SplitPersonality: Turns out MIB apparently had at over two dozen at one point, including [[spoiler: Jessica Newmire and Craig Hornburger, but eventually all of them were consumed by Mr. Pockets]].
* StoryBreadcrumbs: That there even ''is'' a story isn't clear for quite a time in the Video Game Reviews, but turns out passing references to some names and quick cutaways and background events actually serve as information and lore for the story.
