King Ghidorah incorporates design elements X-Plus had developed for their previous Toho figures. The figure`s wings are sculpted of ABS plastic and interlock with ABS joints built into the figure`s body, a technique also used for Large Monsters Series adult Mothra. This extra support allows Ghidorah to have a wingspan of approximately 60cm. Support wires are also built into the monster`s three necks for added stability, as X-Plus did in the past for the vines on the Biollante figure. The Shounen Ric Limited Edition King Ghidorah comes with a bonus Kilaak flying saucer not available from other retailers.
