GODZILLA Publisher: X-Plus USA Inc. Production Companies: Bandai, Plex Co., Ltd. & X-Plus Co., Ltd. Item Code: MAY142520 SRP: $160.00 KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (??????????, Kingu Kongu Tai Gojira, 1962), the third Godzilla picture, was produced as a commemorative movie for the 30th anniversary of Toho Co., Ltd. Godzilla fights the world famous monster, King Kong, in Japan. The size of this product is slightly larger than the rest, faithfully reproducing the unique face like a reptile, bulkiness, and a coarse texture. • X-Plus Toho 12” Series Godzilla from DESTROY ALL MONSTERS Publisher: X-Plus USA Inc. Production Companies: Bandai, Plex Co., Ltd. & X-Plus Co., Ltd. Item Code: MAY142538 SRP: $160.00 DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (?????, Kaiju Soshingeki, 1968) featured 11 of Toho`s daikaiju. Godzilla leads earth`s monsters against the space monster, King Ghidorah! This product faithfully recreates Godzilla`s design, which from this movie adopted a unique facial expression appropriate of a hero. • X-Plus Toho 12” Series Hedorah from GODZILLA VS. THE SMOG MONSTER Publisher: X-Plus USA Inc. Production Companies: Bandai, Plex Co., Ltd. & X-Plus Co., Ltd. Item Code: MAY142539 SRP: $180.00 In 1970s, when environmental pollution became a serious problem in Japan, a fearful monster newly appeared in GODZILLA VS HEDORAH (???????, Gojira Tai Hedora, 1971), released theatrically in the US as GODZILLA VS THE SMOG MONSTER. Unlike the old style of kaiju designs in the past Godzilla pictures, the monster Hedorah symbolized the pollution which is threatening earth. The psychedelic color is simply gaudy. The volume of this product is heavier than usual, matching the make of the Godzilla suit from 1968. The creepy eyeballs are made from transparent materials, which accurately recreate the key feature to Hedorah`s uncanny visage. • Vinyl Paradise: Godzilla 2000 Millennium Sofubi Publisher: Marmit Co., Ltd. Item Code: FEB142251 SRP: $69.99 The Millennium version of Godzilla from GODZILLA 2000 (???2000 ?????, Gojira Nisen: Mireniamu, 1999) is strangely cute as this 8 ?" tall soft vinyl Sofubi figure!
