As always, Bandai‘s Tamashii Nations keeps a rotating display of current and upcoming figures in their Akihabara showroom. This weekend happens to mark the 58th birthday of everyone’s favorite radioactive dinosaur Godzilla and the showroom display had a nice surprise in store for the Big G to celebrate.

Here we have our first look at S.H. MonsterArts Destoroyah, not only in the already-announced Final Form, but the Aggregate and Flying Forms! There are no details known beyond the figures existing, but considering the usual MonsterArts release pattern, these figures likely compose a new Tamashii Web Exclusive release in Japan while being offered by Bluefin in North America!

UPDATE:[/u] Fresh off the presses from Tamashii Nation 2012! We have our very first, but certainly not our last, image of the upcoming S.H. MonsterArts Biollante! Please also note the bits of Godzilla cut from the right edge of the photo… suggesting that Biollante isn’t the only titular star of Godzilla vs. Biollante to come from Bandai!

PREVIOUSLY: As many fellow TokuNation.com members and fans have noticed, the very first reveals of this year’s annual Tamashii Nation event have begun to trickle through. Not to be left out, our friends at Bluefin have been joining in the fun, all but confirming mere moments before an image was revealed that Sailor Moon would finally receive some much-needed attention!

However, Bluefin was also gracious enough to toss their tokusatsu fans a bone with a couple of cryptic but very revealing tweets from their official Twitter account that something else was coming. And she might be hungry…

Know what “she” is? Totally befuddled? Don’t worry, someone is sure to explain in our discussion! Expect more hints and, better yet, pictures from Tamashii Nation’s 5th Anniversary event in the coming hours and weekend, and we’ll have them all for you here at TokuNation.com!

According to Dread Central, Godzilla VS Biollante will finally make its way to the US in both Blu-ray and DVD formats! Both are scheduled for release on December 4th, $6.99 for the DVD, and $14.99 for the Blu-ray. More info:

“According to Toho Kingdom, the print is expected to be taken from Toho’s pristine Japanese Blu-ray release. That means it will be seen in its original, widescreen aspect ratio with two Japanese audio tracks (2.0 stereo and 5.1 surround) with freshly commissioned English subtitles. For those that hate to read and love bad English dubbing, the Miramax English dub with Australian-sounding accents will be included.

Details of disc extras have not been officially announced just yet but it’s expected there will be a 48-minute “making of” feature and another 10-minute featurette imported from the Japanese release. In addition, there will be a commentary track by “Japanese Giants” editor Ed Godziszewski, who can be heard on numerous other American releases of Toho monster movies detailing the history and inside stories behind the various films.”

Looking forward to the release of this movie, finally in the US in December? Discuss!
