![]() ![]() His latest piece of unofficial art compares multiple generations of Godzilla, offering a comparison not traditionally depicted in movie marketing. Noger Chen is a graphic designer and creative director in Taiwan whose Godzilla illustrations electrify kaiju fans. But both of the beasts tower over the original Gojira, the star of fifteen movies despite its diminutive 164 foot stature. The star of Godzilla: King of the Monsters is 393 feet and one half inch tall, just over four feet taller than its Japanese counterpart, last seen in Shin Godzilla. **Below are several bonus images, including some size comparison and translucent shots.Godzilla is a bigger threat now than he's ever been. What little paint there is really helps bring the frozen look together. I have never been a big fan of this design, but I must say I love this figure for its effectiveness and uniqueness on the shelf. For something released over a decade ago, and considering its larger size compared to most other Bandai vinyl, this guy goes for a pretty low price these days. A very simple figure with a neat gimmick of translucent vinyl. When held up against the light, the eyes and teeth of Godzilla look pretty creepy against the translucent vinyl of the head, at that point making Godzilla seem like a ghost. This gives Godzilla a frozen appearance, as if he’s been trapped in ice for decades. The eyes and teeth are all painted properly and cleanly with no splotching present. The entire figure is sculpted in a translucent teal with white sprayed over the spines, claws, and parts of the arms and legs. Godzilla has a pretty simple, if not effective, paint scheme here. It also does not fold open like your basic Movie Monster Series tags of old. Unlike the tag on the basic release, this tag is blue and white without any other colors. Just your basic Bandai tag attached to the back of its neck. Additionally, the mid-section of the tail can also rotate. Godzilla’s head, arms, legs and tail are all on swivel joints and can rotate fully around. The figure is sculpted out of soft vinyl and can be easily squished compared to other, older figures made of harder material. It scales very well with other Bandai eight inch scale monsters such as the Kiryus and other Final Wars and GMK kaiju. Towering in at a height of eight and a half inches, this monster looks cool on the shelf thanks to its unique colors. Is it worth it…? DetailsĪ basic “repaint” of the standard eight inch scale 2004 Godzilla, this shares the same exact sculpt. ![]() As a matter of fact, I’ve seen the standard GFW Godzilla go for even more than what I paid for this one, which was just around the $35-$40 range. For such an old figure (12 years), it really doesn’t cost much. As I acquired more of the figures I wanted, I put the 2004 “Frozen” Godzilla and Black Kiryu on my checklist as well. It started off pretty simple with the 2002 Frozen Godzilla. It’s only been fairly recently I started going after Bandai Theater Exclusive variants of figures I already own. ![]()
