S.H.MonsterArts Official Site: tamashii.jp/shma (Japan) Special Thanks to Xavier Lim The largest Godzilla figure from Tamashii Nations to date, the massive Biollante joins the incredibly detailed S.H. MonsterArts line! Highly requested through consumer feedback, Biollante has finally been approved for release after extensive testing to maintain the quality fans have come to expect in the line. To further insure authenticity, Fuyuki Shinada -- the original creator of the Biollante model used in the movie GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE (??? VS ?????, Gojira tai Biorante, 1989) -- was brought on board to personally plan, sculpt, and approve this piece to create the most accurate articulated Biollante figure ever. Replicating her pulsating core just like the film, the chest area features a special light-up gimmick and light color that can be changed via control switch. S.H.MonsterArts Biollante`s meticulous sculpt detail, massive proportion and thorough articulation at every neck joint allow for realistic portrayal of scenes from the movie. At an astounding 12", Biollante dwarfs even the mighty King Ghidorah, making her the largest foe Godzilla will ever tangle with. S.H.MonsterArts Biollante/ S.H.MonsterArts ?????
