Bandai Co., Ltd. of Japan, known for its popular soft vinyl toy series 'MOVIE MONSTER', has announced the latest product 'King Ghidorah (2001)', based on 'Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack', is scheduled for release in September 2024.
The King Ghidorah appearing in this film is set as 'Sky God Vidora', recorded in the 'Guardian Beasts Chronicle'. It slowly grew while slumbering in an underground ice cave within the Aokigahara forest at Mt. Fuji. Legend has it that when it awakens after millennia to become its complete form, it will be the strongest sacred beast dominating the sea, land, and sky. However, upon its awakening this time, it was only in an incomplete state, making it difficult to contend with the destructive god-like Godzilla. Even after Mothra's self-sacrifice allowed it to grow into its complete form, its powerful gravity beams were still absorbed and countered by Godzilla.
The 'MOVIE MONSTER King Ghidorah (2001)' recreates its complete form from the film with an impressive length of 31 cm. It captures the unique, softer sacred beast design of this iteration, including its shorter necks and heads that incorporate the image of Komainu (guardian lion-dogs). The entire body not only features intricate scale detailing but is also finished with gold paint to represent its golden glowing appearance in the movie.
