Aoshima Bunka Kyozai Co., Ltd.'s assembly model brand ACKS officially announced a new non-articulated assembly model series, 'PLAfig,' at the '62nd All Japan Model & Hobby Show.' This series emphasizes detailed sculpting, and its first product will be "Godzilla (2023)" from the movie "Godzilla Minus One," slated for release within 2025.
The Godzilla (2023) being commercialized was originally an ancient creature, resembling a dinosaur, approximately 15 meters tall, inhabiting the deep seas around Odo Island, referred to by local residents as "Gojira." However, in 1946, after World War II, nuclear tests conducted by the US military near Bikini Atoll caused Gojira to mutate and grow into a 50-meter-tall Godzilla. Its extraordinary regenerative abilities allowed it to recover instantly even after being shelled by warships, and it could unleash nuclear-level high-power heat rays from its mouth.
The in-development prototype of "PLAfig Godzilla (2023)" was also unveiled for the first time at the exhibition. For this product, renowned biological model sculptor Shuzo Kanimushi was invited to handle the prototype production. The figure captures Godzilla's powerful stance as it lands in Tokyo and unleashes its atomic breath, destroying the National Diet Building. The sculpt meticulously details its imposing body contours, the rough skin texture across its entire body, and its ferocious facial features.
