Bandai Co., Ltd. of Japan recently announced the latest product from their large monster soft vinyl toy "Monster King" series, "Godzilla (2023)," based on the newest Godzilla film, "Godzilla Minus One," with a scheduled release date of November 11, 2023.
"Godzilla Minus One" is the 30th film in Japan's Toho "Godzilla" series, commemorating its 70th anniversary. Directed and written by Takashi Yamazaki, known for the "ALWAYS Sanchome" series and "STAND BY ME Doraemon," the film is set in post-WWII Japan, the origin point of the first Godzilla. Having lost countless people and infrastructure due to the war, Japan finds itself in a predicament where it must start from zero. The sudden landing of the giant monster "Godzilla" further pushes the nation into its most desperate state ever. How will people face the predicament of going from zero to minus one?
The "Monster King Series Godzilla (2023)" boasts a substantial size with a total height of approximately 24.5 cm, making it even more massive and imposing compared to the approximately 15 cm tall Movie Monster Series. The overall sculpt can be described as an enlarged version of the Movie Monster Series, similarly reproducing features such as the muscular body resembling the Heisei series Godzilla, rough skin like deep-sea coral, and sharp, massive coral-like dorsal fins. Aside from the upward-curving tail tip, there are also some differences in the overall coloring.
