In the slew of news that came out last week during the 2013 Licensing Expo we got a ton of details and an official press release from Warner Brothers about the upcoming Godzilla movie, along with all the licensing details!

As it should come as no surprise, Bandai has been named the “Master Toy Partner” for the upcoming film. But along with Bandai, a number of other licenses were awarded to other companies – NECA, Sideshow, Trevco, Rubies, Bioworld, and Jakks Pacific!

Godzilla is slated to hit theaters on May 16th, 2014!

Thanks to our sister-site ToyArk.com for the news!

Thanks to Tokunation member Lbsammills51 for pointing us to this info. The current wave of Figure Oh scans making the rounds has revealed release info for none other than S.H. Monsterarts Biollante!

This massive monster will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive with an almost assured Bluefin release for the US market. Standing 30 CM tall, that’s nearly 12″, and she will also feature a chest LED gimmick, the first of its kind for this line! Now the bad news is the price. This bad girl will run you a whopping 23,100 yen which by today’s exchange rate is $242! The price may be high but by comparison to the other larger figures of the line (Ghidorah, Destroyah) a high price tag like this is not unexpected.

Hot on the heels of the magazine scans of the forthcoming S.H. Monsterarts Millennium series MechaGodzilla/Kiryu figure, Bandai’s Tamashii website has updated with some official images of their own. These images give us a closer look at the figure, as well as a side shot with the weapons pack removed.

Meanwhile, Bluefin have confirmed over on their Facebook page that they will be releasing Kiryu in October (one month after Japanese release). Details on the price are still pending.

Check out the official images after the jump!

UPDATE:We now have a new image, this time from Figure-Oh magazine. Kiryu will include a red-eyed berserk head, chest flaps that open to reveal the Absolute Zero Cannon, leg thrusters, and what looks to be an incredibly articulated tail! Thanks to our friends at The Daytime Ninja for the heads-up!

Did you think Bandai had really forgotten about the King of the Monsters, Godzilla? Worried about the state of the S.H. MonsterArts toyline? Not anymore!

Among this month’s crop of leaked Hobby Japan scans is this single image depicting the Millenium incarnation of MechaGodzilla, also known as Kiryu!

Kiryu is in his first appearance from the 2002 film Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and will be a standard release for September. This Godzilla-powered cyborg retails for 10,290 yen, standing 15.5 cm or just over six inches tall. We have no details on accessories and alternate pieces yet, but fans will be happy to know that unlike the Heisei MechaGodzilla and Garuda, Kiryu’s weapons/jetpack is already included!

More details and a confirmation of release from North American licensed importer Bluefin are inevitable, so stay tuned!

Ain’t It Cool News has posted a new image of FEMA on the set of Godzilla in Vancouver, Canada! More info:
Hey folks, Harry here… with FEMA having a presence in Legendary’s

GODZILLA – I assume we can be guaranteed of an American landfall… even if this FEMA set is actually in Vancouver, where the Godzilla crew is busily making this recovery center. Right now – I’m just imagining a giant Godzilla foot stomping through the arena top and smashing all the injured and recovering folks below. But then, I’ve probably seen GODZILLA VS BAMBI a few too many times! Thanks to our mysterious spy, known only as JEFF

Can FEMA cope with the catastrophic epitome of destruction known as Godzilla? 1 more year to find out!
