Japan's Bandai Gashapon Division has announced an exciting new original capsule toy series from the "Godzilla" universe: "Gojinya." This adorable collection reimagines cats as Godzilla and other popular kaiju, creating flocked figures that perfectly blend monstrous features with irresistible feline cuteness. The full lineup features four unique figures, each priced at 400 Japanese Yen per capsule, with an anticipated release in the fourth week of August 2026.
The series name, "Gojinya," cleverly combines "Godzilla" with the Japanese cat sound "nya." The collection includes "Mechagojinya," "Burning Gojinya," "Millennium Gojinya," and "Mosnya," which is themed after Mothra. All four figures feature plump, rounded cat bodies that reinterpret the iconic kaiju designs. From Mechagodzilla's metallic armor and Burning Godzilla's fiery body patterns to Millennium Godzilla's sharp, distinctive dorsal fins and Mothra's vibrant wings, each figure retains easily recognizable classic characteristics.
"Mechagojinya" (メカゴジにゃ)
"Burning Gojinya" (バーニングゴジにゃ)
"Millennium Gojinya" (ミレニアムゴジにゃ)
"Mosnya" (モスにゃ)
Every figure in this series boasts a soft, flocked finish, giving these typically imposing giant monsters a surprisingly fuzzy and tactile appearance. The cats' eyes, however, are crafted from separate, unflocked plastic parts. This creates a striking contrast between the smooth, glossy eyes and the soft, plush body, making their bright, round gaze even more prominent. Official details regarding the exact size of each figure are still pending, so kaiju fans should stay tuned for further updates.
