It can be said that for each of the numerous Godzilla films, there exists a unique type of Godzilla. The first release in this series is Godzilla from Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994) which is commonly referred to as "MogeGoji". It is usually said that Godzilla suits of "Heisei vs. Series" were all the same, but this was not the case. In fact, new Godzilla suits were made for each movie.

"MogeGoji" is same, and it is even said that the proportion, along the with "MogeGoji's" towering height is the best among the Heisei era Godzillas. Usually the smaller the head (face) is, the more difficult it is to depict facial details. However, for this item, the detail points of face such as the iris of the eyes and painting inside the mouth have been reproduced with precise detail. Can you imagine how small the head part is in relation to approximately 15.5cm of total height and overall volume? You will be surprised when you see the fine points depicted, from eye detail to teeth arrangement.
Mr. Sakai's pursuit of accurate detail becomes evident when looking at the figure's hands- faithful to the details of the actual suit used in the movie, the shape of the fingers are different depending whether they are on the left or right hand!
Mr. Sakai's wealth experience working directly with models for Godzilla films has enabled him to excel in development efforts of "S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla". The adoption of mat painting to improve texture is another big appeal point for this figure.

The action suits should be able to "move", and articulation is a key aspect of the figure, too. "S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla" has 29 points of articulation which enable the re-enactment of impressive action sequences in the films.

This Godzilla can turn his face upwards. This gimmick enables the figure to strike memorable poses such an iconic howling pose or swimming underwater in a streamlined position.

The range of articulation for the legs, shoulders, and waist is vastly superior when compared with other Godzilla figures, and the figure can be displayed in an extensive array of action poses.

The tail itself features 18 parts of articulation! This allows for a straightening of the tail and even for characteristic portrayal of the Godzilla's signature tail undulating motion.

The most famous weapon of Godzilla is the radiation beam that emanates from his mouth. The first production release of "S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla" will include limited bonus effect parts and special stand that enables recreation of memorable battle scenes!

The action film "Godzilla" series has many fans and long history starting from first film released on 1954.
