Mothra vs Godzilla (1964) – Godzilla Figure by NECA – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on December 3, 2019 at 3:55 pm by Joe Moore under Godzilla Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

NECA Godzilla 1964 Figure 032

Making its way to retailers now is the latest Godzilla 12″ Head-To-Tail Figure by NECA Toys. Their latest addition to the Godzilla line up is based on his appearance in Mothra vs Godzilla (1964). The figure is packed in all-new flapped window box packaging. The figure is already available directly from the NECA eBay Store and the NECA Amazon Store. However, it should hit retail shelves within the next week or so.

In the film, a greedy land developer uses large machines to begin emptying parts the ocean near Tokyo. His plan is to use the new land for a series of luxury condos. During a hurricane, the massive egg of Mothra is displaced from Infant Island. It drifts to Tokyo and washes up on its shore. The developer uses the egg a a tourist attraction. Tiny twin girls known as the Shobijin reveal themselves, and beg for the egg to be returned to its home, fearing the hatch lings could wreak havoc in search of food.

When Godzilla reemerges, an dying Mothra is sent to help protect Tokyo by the Shobijin. After a fierce battle, Mothra is killed, and Godzilla continues his rampage. When all seems lost, the egg hatches and two Mothra Larvae emerge and follow Godzilla to Iwa Island. There they trap him with their silk spray, and force Godzilla to return to the sea once more. After the battle, the Shobijin take the Larvae to Infant Island where they belong.

Our friends at NECA have provided us with the figure. After the jump, you can read our review of the new release. We also have a full photo gallery to check out.

Mothra vs Godzilla (1964) – Godzilla Figure by NECA

Pros

  • Excellent sculpt
  • Nice paint work
  • Solid articulation
  • Segmented tail works great

Cons

  • None

Overall
Like all new Godzilla releases, the figure is packed in a nice flapped window box. The front of the box features the Japanese poster for the film, while the back showcases a few photos of the figure. The figure sits on a plastic tray, and includes an atomic breath effects piece.

I’ve always enjoyed NECA’s Godzilla releases, and their newly developed figures from 2019 have been pretty fantastic. The 1964 Godzilla is no exception, with a fantastic sculpt that does a great job of emulating the look from the film. While the movie serves as a follow-up to King Kong vs Godzilla (1962), the look of Godzilla is quite different. Starting at the head sculpt, the figure gets a lot right. The sculpt nails the cartoon-ish look of Godzilla, right down to the oddly smooth eyebrows. The neck has that crumpled rubber costume look that was very present in the film, and the overall body shape looks very much like a man in a suit. The sculpt is nicely detailed overall, and is on par with what you’d expect from NECA at this point. Articulation is pretty much the same as all recent figures, and fans should be happy with the segmented tail, which moves much more naturally than older releases. The way the details are sculpted seems to have given some extra range of motion in the torso and waist areas.

Paint work is excellent, with clean lines separating areas like the eyes, mouth, and nails. The figure has a number of heavy washes over it, adding depth to the sculpt work. The lighter color washes over top look almost dry brushed on, and work especially well on the fins. Thankfully, I didn’t run into any issues with the figure. Joints are solid, and nothing felt noticeably loose. None of the joints on this figure required any heating to loosen up. The atomic breath piece sits perfectly in his jaws.

This is another solid Godzilla release from NECA. It has a nice sculpt, solid paint work, good articulation, and stellar packaging. Check out a selection of photos below, and the full gallery after that.

Side note: For those wondering, the main backdrop I used is included with NECA’s Godzilla 2001 figure.

    I know they probably have had multiple Zilla's ready to go, but I'm just over here waiting for some other classic Kaiju haha (and I'm not counting the KotM versions of Mothra and Rodan!)

    I feel like Randy's said on Twitter that they wouldn't sell, but who knows. The Monsterarts ones are too expensive for anyone who didn't buy at release, I feel like they'd sell. Especially Mothra.

    Sadly, NECA stated they will NOT be doing anything beyond Godzilla despite having access to the full library. This royally sucks as not having a Mothra to go with this Godzilla is what is holding me back from wanting to pull the trigger on this guy. Granted, I'll probably still end up buying one when I find him, but at least in theory, I'm happy with my MonsterArt since I've got the Revoltech Mothra to go with him even if it is a tad smaller.

    Now for the figure itself, the mouth still looks a bit off and the eyebrows should be a bit brownish. Other than that, he does look great.

    If their five zillion Godzilla variants can sell well enough to make, surely they can give us ONE Gigan or Mechagodzilla, right?? They have to be a safer bet than Valerian figures haha (I know I've ripped on NECA a lot for the Valerian figures, but c'mon, it's kinda deserved!)

    Yeah totally agree.

    I can't believe that the Hellraiser figure would sell better than a Classic Ghidorah or Classic Mothra. Hell, They keep spamming the Alien Queen rereleases/repaints and I gotta believe everyone who wants the mold already have it.

    A classic Ghidorah the size of Alien Queen would get my $$$ so fast Randy's head would spin.

    Old school Showa Ghidorah wouldn't even need to be as big as the alien queen since classic KG's body and legs were mostly the same size as Godzilla's and his wings weren't ridiculously large. I'm sure it'd theoretically still be a large deluxe item but nowhere near as much as the Queen in price/size.

    Have you guys seen the Showa King Ghidorah that's being sold on eBay? It looks like a KO but is a totally new mold right in scale with SH Monsterarts. I picked it up a month or two ago, worth the price but some paint work would make it shine.

    Of what? It's an all new mold that's different than the SH Monsterarts Ghidorah. Did they make a Showa Ghidroah I missed?

    It's apparently from a stolen mold and made by an unofficial company who didn't pay for the license.

    Ok well it's an unreleased/new product as far as the consumers are concerned. I know it's unlicensed, but it's still a good option out there.

    Man, the figure looks great.
    I realize the eyes are not "screen accurate" but I prefer them being clear.
    The cloudy eyes on the MonsterArts version just look weird.

    I'm firmly in the camp that NECA needs to make some of Godzilla's rogue gallery as well.

    As soon as you open the flap, there's a photo of two Mothra larvae from the movie, and it hits you: MAN a two-pack of those guys would be amazing with this figure!

    Just got this figure in the mail today. Knocked it out of the park!

    Well so much for my whole, "I'm done with NECA" spiel. I just couldn't control myself when I came across him:



    The sculpt is amazing, except, I think there is something wrong with his right arm. It can't bend more than like 20 degrees. Is this how it is supposed to look:



    Oh, and the fire breath accessory can't be placed in his mouth at all. It just scratches against the teeth when I try to put it in.

    It almost looks like a left bicep is on the right arm, so the elbow sculpt is kind of getting in the way.

    Excellent pick up, the 62' Zilla has a hole in the mouth to put the fire effect

    Yep, after looking at the pictures here, it turns out I have two left biceps. I'm going to head back to Target tonight and hope they still have one of the other two.

    Yeah, this one does not though. You just have to rest the effect into the mouth and hope it stays, but it looks weird because it's not fire out in the proper angle.

    For the first time this week, I actually had good luck with something. My Target still had the other 2 64s instock so I was able to get one that did NOT have two left upper arms. With that said, I am quite impressed with this figure. In fact, it might be my favorite Godzilla figure to date. He looks as menacing as he does in the movie and the articulation is nearly identical to that of the MonsterArts minus the weird triangular cuts on the side and I can move the body back far enough to close the spine gappage if I want to. Though, I must admit, the gappage doesn't bother me as much as it does on the MonsterArt, but that could just be because as I said, I can close it if I so desire. The tail is fantastic and there is so much detail put into the dude. I wish NECA would redo the 54 Godzilla entirely. Of course, I also wish NECA would at least give us a Mothra to go with him, but the 92 MonsterArts version will have to do (and the small ass Revoltech version). The pictures NECA has released for this guy online and in the box do not do him justice at all.

    Well he should, since the suit itself was plumpy and had bigger hands.

    My favorite suit for the Showa era has always been the 64 one because of how mean looking Godzilla is.

    Great pics Dr. Kain! I didn't realize how small the SHMA one was in comparison, mine has been boxed up for a while. I was able to meet Nakajima at a Con a few years ago before he passed and got him to sign that box, so I put the figure in there.
