GODZILLA 12IN SERIES: GODZILLA PX FIGURE 1984 VERSION Product Size: Height Approximately 11.4 Inches Material: PVC (Vinyl) SRP: $160.00 Estimated Ship Date: November 30, 2016 From X Plus USA. THE RETURN OF GODZILLA (???, Gojira, 1984) -- a.k.a. GODZILLA 1985 in the U.S. -- was the sixteenth film in Toho`s Godzilla series; the beginning of a rebooted series ignoring all of the films from 1955`s GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN through 1975`s TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA. The film, which was a direct sequel to the original 1954 GODZILLA, was produced to coincide with Godzilla`s 30th anniversary, and returned the series to the darker themes and mood of some of the early films, returning Godzilla to his old destructive ways as well. This 12" scale figure captures the Kaiju King`s new look from the film. Originally released in Japan as Toho 30cm Series: Godzilla (1984) (??30cm???? ?????1984??) in April 2013.

In 1992, one of Toho`s most popular kaiju, Mothra, returned for the new era in GODZILLA AND MOTHRA: THE BATTLE FOR EARTH (???VS???, Gojira tai Mosura)!

Directed by Takao Okawara with special effects by Koichi Kawakita, the 19th Godzilla film remains the highest grossing film of the entire Godzilla series, and featured a soundtrack score by legendary composer Akira Ifukube (who won a Japanese Academy Award for his score). The film was the second highest grossing film in Japan in 1993, second only to JURASSIC PARK. This 12" scale figure continues the development of Godzilla`s size and mass. Originally released in Japan as Toho 30cm Series: Godzilla (1992) (??30cm?????????1992?? ???VS????) in August 2011.
