POLYGON PICTURES has released a new full-length trailer for their upcoming Godzilla anime project, Godzilla: Monster Planet!
This story features humanity returning to Earth after 20,000 years in space to find a planet ruled by Kaiju, and the Earth Returnists must unite to reclaim their world.
Written by Urobuchi Gentaro, Godzilla: Monster Planet will be released in Japan on November 17 2017 with a worldwide release hitting NETFLIX later in 2018!
Sad news from the world of Godzilla-
Legendary Toho suit actor Haruo Nakajima, first person to ever wear the GODZILLA monster costume, has passed away at the age of 88.
Haruo Nakajima portrayed the King of the Monsters in 12 films, from 1954’s Godzilla to 1972’s Godzilla VS Gigan. Throughout an extensive career, Nakajima portrayed several other famous Kaiju– including Rodan, Mothra, King Kong & Frankenstein.
Our thoughts are with his family & friends.
While the S.H. MonsterArts line seems to have slowed down considerably over the past few years, one thing they’ve remained pretty consistent on is keeping up with variants of Godzilla himself. This trend continues in December with the release of S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2017, based on the King of Monsters’ appearance in the forthcoming Godzilla: Monster Planet anime from Toho Animation and Polygon Pictures. This version is listed as an “Initial production limited edition”.
Despite preorders set to go up on August 1st Bandai have not yet done a full reveal of the figure, suggesting that a full look at this Godzilla design may still be being kept under wraps for the time being. Nevertheless, the figure will be released in December and retail for 9936 yen. No accessories are listed, but the figure will come with some sort of special card.
