Daily Dead has been given a first look at an upcoming Godzilla Classic 1989 Vinyl Figure Bank. With a new (and hopefully worthy) American Godzilla film hitting next year, Diamond Select Toys is gearing up with the release of a full figure bank based on the excellent Godzilla vs. Biollante film from 1989. The bank stands at 12″ tall and measure 18″ from the head to tail. It’s due out in the Spring or Summer of 2014. It will sell for $34.99.

While many of us do not have the fondest memories of the last Godzilla movie released in the United States, the new Godzilla is looking more and more like one heck of a blockbuster.  Check out this trailer, released by Warner Bros. UK Trailers, below!

What do you think?  We’re pretty excited.  Why don’t you come celebrate this new trailer in our new Godzilla forum and discuss it with other Godzilla enthusiasts!

You may recall that we ran a story about this footage a couple months back.[/URL] At the time Legendary Pictures was taking legal action against any and all sites known to run the footage so we opted not to and linked you elsewhere for it. Well today Legendary has officially allowed the release of this footage for viewing, most likely because the actual trailer for the film is due any day this week!

So if you missed this footage the first time and would like to finally have a chance to see it advance of the real trailer then head on over to Mtime,[/URL] a site that Legendary Pictures is conveniently linking to themselves.

Just last week, Godzilla fans and MonsterArts collectors were thrilled to see that the biggest, baddest rosebush on the planet was finally released in Japan in super-articulated form. In only one day, S.H. MonsterArts Biollante has already become the latest and greatest subject of many a 2chan image. Now, courtesy of YouTube user and Japanese toy collector bonorenosan, we have a moving-picture look at Biollante, showing off her box size, articulation, ability to rotate on a motorized stand, and light-up core!

S.H. MonsterArts Biollante is expected to ship in North America courtesy of Bluefin in December at a daikaiju-sized retail price of $229.99 and has been available for preorder at numerous retailers, including our friends at BigBadToyStore.

Check out the video and numerous fun photos from our friends in Japan, then let us know if you’re getting a piece of this plant monster for yourself!

This time last week saw plenty of photos from the Tamashii Nation 2013[/URL] event in Japan, with certain figures such as the forthcoming Kamen Rider Gaim S.H. Figuarts only getting through with blurry images.

However Tamashii Nations[/URL] have now updated their website with their own official images from the event, so that some of these figures can be seen in all their glory! Most notable are the great shots of the Kamen Rider Black RX renewal, Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron figures, however there’s plenty more including:

  • The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade Riders
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal Version
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Agito Burning and Shining Forms
  • S.I.C. Rider-1 and Rider-2 new versions
  • Displays of the Super Sentai Reds and Kyoryuger Figuarts
  • The uncoloured prototype Gou from Shougeki Gouraigan
  • S.H. MonsterArts Kiryu, Gigan, Battra & Mothra
  • And more!

Check out the full selection of images by clicking here!

59 years ago today, the birth of one of the most recognized icon in Tokusatsu was born.

Since 1954, Toho Co.. Ltd. has produced over 28 films, he also appeared in video games, novels, TV series and now leads the Tamashii Nation’s S.H. MonsterArts for Bandai. A force to be reckoned with, Godzilla has roared his way to a legendary status in the world of pop culture.

Let’s take a moment and wish Godzilla a well deserved happy birthday, and with another film to bear his namesake is on the horizon, let’s recall your first Godzilla experience.
