MonsterArts line. His latest X-Plus figure depicts Godzilla as seen in the opening title sequence of GODZILLA VS DESTOROYAH (???VS??????, Gojira Tai Desutoroia, 1995), as the monster tramples through the streets of Hong Kong at night, its body burning orange and red. With the end of the Heisei period in Japan, this “Death Godzilla” -- the final Godzilla in the Heisei VS Series -- has made its way to the Yuji Sakai Modeling collection lineup. The figure was produced using molds made and supervised by Sakai himself, who was involved in the production of GODZILLA VS DESTOROYAH as part of the film`s modeling team. This figure will be released in two versions. The General Distribution Godzilla 1995 features a standard paint scheme and will available from online retailers and collectors shops. The Limited Edition version uses a clear mold on the surface of the body that has been applied using painting techniques overseen by Mr. Sakai. It features a silver coating painted from the inside so that more accurately reproduces the burning red glow emanating from Godzilla’s entire body as seen in the film. The Limited Edition figure is available exclusively from Shonen-Ric, Premium Bandai and Toho`s official Godzilla Store.
