The popular alloy toy series 『Chogokin Damashii』, released by TAMASHII NATIONS, the collector's toy division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Company, showcased the latest prototype of the Godzilla series, "GX-103 MFS-3 Type-3 Kiryu," at the recently held Godzilla FES 2022. The release date is yet to be determined.
The Mechagodzilla that appeared in the 2002 film 《Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla》 is known in the film as Type-3 Kiryu, with its official designation being "Multi-purpose Fighting System Type-3 (MFS-3)." This Kiryu was secretly constructed by the Japanese government using the skeletal remains of the original Godzilla salvaged from Tokyo Bay as its framework. Its propulsion system is controlled by a "DNA computer" built from Godzilla's bone marrow cells, allowing Kiryu to move with biological swiftness, fluidly execute close-quarters combat, and even evade Godzilla's heat ray. It is also equipped with various armaments such as missiles, railguns, MASER cannons, and the Type-3 Absolute Zero Cannon. However, the G-forces generated during operation are beyond human endurance, thus requiring remote control via the support aircraft "AC-3 Shirasagi."
Compared to last year's exhibition, the newly revealed prototype of the "Chogokin Damashii GX-103 MFS-3 Type-3 Kiryu" features more complete paintwork. Additionally, prototypes of its backpack unit and wrist-mounted Type-0 Railgun were unveiled for the first time. The product is fully supervised by designer Shinji Nishikawa. Compared to the Chogokin version (GD45) released several years ago, it boasts more intricate detailing, conveying a sense of metallic hardness and sharpness. It features a large scale, an eye-lighting mechanism, and the hatch deployment mechanism for its most powerful weapon, the "Absolute Zero Cannon," is visible on its chest.
