Godzilla: Monster Planet – SH MonsterArts Godzilla Announced

under Godzilla Toy News

Tamashii Nations has announced a new Godzilla figure. The new figure will be based on the new Godzilla design from the upcoming Netflix animated movie; Godzilla: Monster Planet. In the movie, humans have lost a decades long war with Godzilla and other Kaiju and have fled the planet. Realizing there is nowhere to run, a small group is sent back to Earth, only to find it completely dominated by Godzilla and the other monsters.

The new Godzilla figure will stand at 6.7″ tall. It will be released in December at a price of 9,936 Yen (about $89 USD). We’ll update with further details as they become available.

    I really want to know which genius had the idea of putting up a figure for pre-order without adding any proper pictures of the product they're trying to sell.

    Godzilla is a big enough name to let that fly but it's still kinda shitty.

    The problem is, the marketing for the film hasn't shown Godzilla fully yet. Only brief glimpses, so licensees aren't likely going to be allowed to show the design off fully before the studio shows it.

    Back when Godzilla 2014 was coming out, before they fully revealed their Godzilla, we kept getting Take Down notices from the film studio every time we reported on a toy that showed Godzilla.

    Ah yes - not revealing the monster to hype up the show but also wanting to sell toys in advance at the same time

    I forgot this was a thing.

    Yeah I mean how many people are gonna drop $90+ on a figure they haven't seen of a design they haven't seen?

    All righty then. Now I'm definitely glad I didn't preorder him. That thing makes Shin look like a princess. I don't get this. Doing an anime Godzilla allows them to have freedom to do whatever they want without having an actual suit, and this fat blob thing is what they choose to go with? Why? Why not go for a more stylized thinner look?

    I like the design overall. The head design isn't too bad at all. But the muscle texture is a little off putting. Classic style scales would probably have looked better to me.

    Not really sure what to think of this guy yet.


    I like him better than the Shin design at least.

    I pretty much totally agree, he's a potato w/ arms.

    I think he looks pretty cool. Personally I think he's just a different take on the American 2014 version, which isn't a bad thing.

    My problem is how thin his legs are. It looks like they just put Showa Legs on the 2014 design.

    He allegedly is supposed to have a plant-based origin, so I see them as less of muscles and more like roots.

    The design is starting to grow on me, though im not so sure about the plant origin so far
