Tamashii Nations 2016 has gotten well under way and to make things easier we’ve separated our coverage into multiple posts. Continuing our coverage, while there isn’t much to report yet, a small selection S.H. Monserarts figures is on display from the recent Shin Godzilla film.

The display includes of course the standard final form S.H. Monsterarts Shin Godzilla, but also the younger 2nd & 3rd forms of this behemoth. We’ll keep you up to date throughout the weekend as more images and info from Tamashii Nations 2016 begin to circulate. Stay tuned to TokuNation!

Thanks to some photos shared by the official NECA Toys twitter account we have our very first look at their next upcoming Godzilla figure! Slated for an early 2017 release is none other than Shin Godzilla!

We only have the few display images provided by NECA to work with at this time, but Shin Godzilla is already looking like one of their best releases yet! We’ll keep you up to date as more info becomes available for this release.

A surprise reveal from last nights Tamashii official image drop was none other than S.H. Monsterarts Super Mecha Godzilla! Long demanded by Godzilla collectors, Super Mecha Godzilla appears to be a pretty complete package. It includes not only an extra pair of hands and a Tamashii Stage, but also the Garuda parts as well as an adapter to mount them!

This impressive releases is scheduled for release in March 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 10,800 yen. Be sure to visit your favorite Tamashii Web middleman or service in the near future to secure an order for S.H. Monsterarts Super Mecha Godzilla.

We’ve known for quite some time that the Shin Godzilla film (or as it’s known in the west Godzilla Resurgence) would feature a creature with mutating forms and abilities. But it wasn’t until last month, when images of vinyls for some of these forms surfaced, that we had any idea what they’d look like. Now thanks to a pair of Figure Oh magazine scans hosted over at Steven’s Toy Blog, we have our first looks at S.H. MonsterArts Shin Godzilla’s 2nd & 3rd Forms!

These seemingly diminutive and oddly colored forms look like very different interpretations of Godzilla than we’ve ever seen. Both are very squat and plump, one featuring a mostly beige color scheme while the others’ red coloration seems to be influenced by the “Poster Art Version” of the 2014 Godzilla Monsterarts figure.

What do you think of these bizarre new forms for the 2016 Godzilla? Right now there’s no concrete release information for either of them, but would you be interested in picking such unique forms up? Let us know in the discussion thread below.

Toei has opened an official website announcing a new GODZILLA anime project!

This new feature will be written by Gentaro Urobuchi, who most fans will probably recognize as the mind behind Kamen Rider Gaim! The animation will be handled by Polygon Pictures, the studio responsible for Knights of Sidonia and Transformers Prime. Sadly, no major story details have been revealed at this time.

Currently, the Godzilla anime is scheduled for a release in 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details.

Toho just registered a rather curious domain name; listed as Godzilla-Anime.com. A Godzilla anime could be in the works, but there’s not a whole lot of info to go on at the moment so unfortunately we don’t know if the project will be an OVA, movie, series, or somehow tied to the Neon Genesis Evangelion cross promotion that’s been going on as of late.

Godzilla’s first anime appearance was in a crossover episode with the Crayon Shin Chan series, prior to that was the 1998 Animated series which aired on Fox Kids well over 17 years ago! 

Stay tuned and we’ll be sure to bring you more up to date information as soon as it becomes avalaible.

Bandai’s Godzilla X Evangelion cross promotion line takes a turn for the bizarre with their latest piece: a vinyl figure depicting a strange fusion amalgamation of Eva Unit 1 in his Awakening Form with bits of Godzilla attached to his body.

Eva Unit 1 G Awakening Form commands a hefty cost at 32,400 yen before middleman fees and shipping but stands at a massive 38 cm x 36cm, the vinyl figure will be released in January 2017, released as a Premium Bandai exclusive.

In a surprise move we’ve just gotten word from San Diego Comic Con 2016 that Funimation has officially obtained licensing rights for a theatrical release of Shin Godzilla! For western branding purposes the film has been refereed to as Godzilla Resurgence previously.

Opening July 29th in Japan, the brainchild of Hideaki Anno (creator of the prolific Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise) Shin Godzilla sees the largest and possibly most horrific version ever of the iconic monster destroy Japan once again. This bit of licensing news is a huge win for fans who feared there may not be a release of the film in the west. Presumably this theatrical release would be a limited engagement as previous Funimation efforts for Attack on Titan & Dragonball Z films have been.

We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available in the coming weeks!
