    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.

    GODZILLA 12IN SERIES: GODZILLA PX FIGURE 1992 BATTLE FOR EARTH VERSION Product Size: Height Approximately 12.25 Inches Material: PVC (Vinyl) SRP: $160.00 Estimated Ship Date: January 25, 2017 From X Plus USA. 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)! No longer allies, the kaiju once again clashed as they had done many years earlier in 1964`s MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA (a.k.a. GODZILLA VS. THE THING). 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.

    GODZILLA 12IN SERIES: GODZILLA PX FIGURE 1999 2K MILLENNIUM VERSION Product Size: Height Approximately 11.8 Inches, Length Approximately 18.5 Inches Material: PVC (Vinyl) SRP: $160.00 Estimated Ship Date: March 29, 2017 From X Plus USA. With the turn of a new century nearing, Toho Studios once again rebooted the Godzilla series with 1999`s GODZILLA 2000 (???2000 ?????, Gojira Nisen: Mireniamu), directed by Takao Okawara and written by Hiroshi Kashiwabara and Wataru Mimura. In this, the twenty-fourth film released in the Godzilla series (twenty-third by Toho), a newly re-designed Godzilla faces the all-new kaiju known as Orga. Hailed by many fans as one of the more popular designs for the King Kaiju, this version features a pronounced, toothy snout and massive, pointy dorsal spines. This 12" scale figure perfectly captures the "force of nature" that Godzilla has become. Originally released in Japan as Toho 30cm Series: Godzilla (1999) (??30cm???? ?????1999???) in November 2013.
