PLEX Co., Ltd. of Japan produces, and X-PLUS Co., Ltd. distributes, the 'Toho Large Monster Series' of soft vinyl monster figures based on Toho films' monsters. Today, they announced the latest product from the film 'Godzilla Minus One', the 'Godzilla (2023)', scheduled for release in January 2025.
The Godzilla (2023) appearing in 'Godzilla Minus One' was originally an ancient creature, resembling a dinosaur, 15 meters tall, inhabiting the deep sea around Odo Island, known to local residents as "Gojira". However, in 1946, after World War II, U.S. nuclear tests near Bikini Atoll caused Gojira to mutate and grow into a 50-meter tall Godzilla. Its exaggerated regenerative abilities allowed it to recover instantly even after being shelled by warships, and it could emit nuclear-bomb-level high-power heat rays from its mouth.
The 'Toho Large Monster Series Godzilla (2023)' is sculpted in a three-dimensional form with an approximate height of 22.5 cm. High-density detailing recreates its extremely robust physique, the rough, reef-like texture of its entire body, and its large, sharp dorsal fins, which are unlike those of previous Godzillas. Color applications express highly biological details such as its eyes, mouth, and keratinous layers, and it even recreates the scar on its right cheek that instantly healed after being blasted.
Furthermore, purchasing this product from X-PLUS's official online store, 'Shonen RIC', will include an additional bonus "closed-mouth head part" for interchangeable display, allowing for different poses.
