On this date in 1954, a creature named Gojira stomped into Japanese theaters and changed the world of monster movies forever.

Today we celebrate the King of the Monsters’ sixtieth birthday! Godzilla has been through many adventures and faced many challenges over the years; fighting against giant insects, mutant plants and moronic American directors- but he’s beaten them all! The world of tokusatsu would be a very dull place without Godzilla’s adventures, and all of us at TokuNation hope for more new projects in the future.

There are far too many amazing moments in the history of Godzilla to list here, but one particular encounter remains a favorite among most fans, and we share this moment as a centerpiece for our celebration:

 

Feel free to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread and share your favorite memory of the King of the Monsters!

At the recent Tamashii Nations event we got a glimpse of a strange S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2014 recolour in a “burning” style deco to mimic one of the initial promotional posters for the film. Now Amazon Japan have shed light on how this interesting redeco will be released!

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2014 (Poster Version) will be released as part of an Amazon.co.jp exclusive 3D Blu-ray set of the latest Godzilla film, which features a whole load of special features spread across five discs in collectors’ packaging. It is due for release on February 25th 2015, retailing for the price of 16,200 yen.

Check out pictures of the set after the jump!

This is a HUGE announcement. Bandai of Japan and Tamashii Nations have just revealed their joint Tamashii Web Shop venture for western markets! A brand new website which will offer Web Exclusive figures and products to English speaking western markets!

We got an inside scoop about this piece of news on the ground at New York Comic-Con earlier this month. Sadly that news was not public at the time so we had to keep a tight lid on things. But today this new Tamashii Web Shop has not only been revealed to the world, but is in fact already active! Though only 1 item is currently up for pre-order you can be sure that more items will begin to be listed in the coming days and weeks.

This is a huge step forward for western fans importing figures from Japan. Though this new web shop is so far only limited to those residing in the US & Canada it’s a pretty significant step in the collector toy market. Time will tell how far this goes.

Flying under the radar among the other recently revealed Tamashii nations products this week is the upcoming S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 2000 Special Color Version!

It looks like the very popular Godzilla 2000 mold will be getting a re-release in a new color scheme designed by Yuji Sakai.  A prolific concept artist and S.H. Monsterarts Sculptor, Mr Sakai is also the original artist behind the design of Godzilla 2000!  It appears that the new paint job is the only special treatment given to this figure as no additional accessories will be included, just as with the original release this is bare bones.

Godzilla 2000 Special Color will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in April 2015 for 7776 yen.
