The Godzilla suits used in filming were 3D scanned and the stickers are so realistic it's crazy.
Precision casting manufacturer Castem Co., Ltd. (Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, CEO: Takuo Toda) operates the brand "History Maker" that creates realistic products based on celebrities and historical objects. The company recently released the Godzilla Hammer (ゴジラハンマー, Gojira Hanmā), casted from a 3D scan of a real Godzilla movie suit used in the filming of the Toho classic GODZILLA, MOTHRA, AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK (ゴジラ・モスラ・キングギドラ 大怪獣総攻撃, Gojira Mosura Kingu Gidora Daikaijū Sōkōgeki, 2001).
Castem has also made ultra-realistic semi-three-dimensional "3D face stickers" using a state-of-the-art full-color 3D printer based on the facial color and shape data from the Godzilla suit from three movies in Godzilla's Millennium Series. The lineup consists of three Godzilla designs...
・Godzilla (2000) from GODZILLA VS. MEGAGUIRUS (ゴジラ×メガギラス G消滅作戦, Gojira × Megagirasu G Shōmetsu Sakusen)
・Godzilla (2001) from GODZILLA, MOTHRA, AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK
・Godzilla (2002) from GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA (ゴジラ×メカゴジラ, Gojira x Mekagojira)

■ Made From 3d Scan Data Of The Godzilla Suits Used In Filming
The Godzilla movie suits were 3D scanned, and their realistic facial data was modeled using the full-color 3D printer "Stratasys J850" equipped with the latest modeling technology. The facial shape and color data read from the real Godzilla was directly output by the full-color 3D printer, so this product is no longer just "similar" to Godzilla, but is "the real thing."

The stickers are removable, so fans can stick them anywhere and as many times as they like on your smartphone, laptop, etc.
This is a must-have product for fans, allowing Godzilla to watch over them anytime, anywhere.
