NECA Reactor Glow Godzilla – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on March 31, 2017 at 9:57 am by Joe Moore under Godzilla Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Loot Crate and NECA surprised their customers with two exclusive figures in the last Loot Crate DX box. Earlier this week, we took a look at the Predator 30th Anniversary – Jungle Demon Predator, which was a timed exclusive for Loot Crate. Fans need not worry on that one, as there will be a standard retail release for it this Summer. the second figure in the box looks to be a genuine exclusive that won’t hit retail. The Reactor Glow Godzilla is a repaint of their Burning Godzilla, featuring glow-in-the-dark  green in place of the burning paint effects.

Today I’m taking a detailed look at the figure. I have a gallery of 35 high resolution photos and a review. Read on for the photos and more.

Reactor Glow Godzilla 12″ Head-To-Tail Figure

Pros

  • Good sculpt
  • Glow effect works well
  • Seems less prone to QC issues
  • Great paint work

Cons

  • None

Overall
I’ve been a big fan of the NECA Godzilla releases since their first release of the 2014 Godzilla. I’ve managed to keep up with all of their assorted releases, and when this was revealed, I knew I had to track it down. The NECA Burning Godzilla was one of my favorite releases by them, so to get another version with a new paint scheme was something I was really pleased with. Available only with the Loot Crate Primal DX box, the Reactor Glow Godzilla comes in a mostly standard NECA blister card package. The packaging lacks the flap at the top and now resembles more of a clear box. It has a paper liner inside, with a photo of the figure on the back and the standard artwork on the front. Like all of their Godzilla releases, there are no accessories included here.

Godzilla stands at 6″ tall, and measures 12″ head-to-tail. The figure has over 30 total points of articulation, including ball jointed and bendable tail, a hinged jaw and articulated hands. The sculpt is the exact same as the Burning Godzilla figure from 2015, and still holds up nicely. There are intricate detail on the head and differing textures throughout the body that give it an authentic, though not completely film accurate look. The paint work here is excellent, with clean paint lines in the small details and a nice subtle bit of transitions in the darker overall color. The glow-in-the-dark green has a nice, vibrant and semi-translucent pop to it. The glow effect is strong, thought it would have been interesting to see it carried throughout more of the figure. Essentially, the glowing green areas match the paint mask used for the burning paint in the previous version of the mold, making it a really fun companion piece. While I had some quality issues with the Burning Godzilla, the Reactor Glow Godzilla is free from those problems. The ball joints are all nice and tight, with strong joints throughout.

The Reactor Glow Godzilla, for me, is a worthy addition to the NECA Godzilla line up. I’m definitely a fan of the great original sculpt combined with a fun glow-in-the-dark paint scheme. Thankfully, prices don’t seem to be going too high, and fans that missed out and want to grab this can still do so without breaking the bank. Check out some select photos below and the full gallery after that.

    AKA: Godzilla at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards!

    So it's a glow in the dark plastic Gozilla with black paint? As in if I find a paint stripper strong enough, I can make it into an all-glow Godzilla? (or melt it into a puddle of plastic goo)?

    Nice pictures as always!

    He looks kind of cool, but I don't understand what (if anything) he's supposed to be a reference to.

    I don't really think anything. Usually, they put the name of the movie on the front of the card. This time, there was no movie listed, just the new name. My guess it's just a one-off exclusive.

    That said, I'm surprised it was approved by Toho. With all the other items they've shot down that were directly related to official media, and they let something like this get approved. It's baffling to me.

    Yeah, maybe they're just down with wacky colored Godzilla merch. There's also a bright orange "burning" Godzilla in the SH Monsterarts line that seems to exist for the sake of existing. Either way, it looks pretty rad and I approve.

    Burning Godzilla is from one of the most iconic segments of the final Heisei-era film, Godzilla vs. Destroyah.

    I remember Godzilla being in meltdown mode for almost the entire movie, it just got more intense as things went along.

    The death scene is phenomenal.

    Agreed, plus we then get the end bit where Junior becomes the new Godzilla who looks exactly like the old Godzilla.

    I think he's referring to the Comic-Con Explosion Godzilla, which is in a much brighter color scheme than the regular Burning Godzilla.
