S.H. Monsterarts
Godzilla feat.EVA-01 – 9936 Yen, January
Yet another dual tribute to Hideaki Anno’s upcoming Shin Godzilla/Godzilla Resurgence and his prolific anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion has just been revealed!
Releasing in January 2017 is S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla Feat. EVA-01! Similar in nature to the recently revealed Mecha Godzilla Eva 01 Version vinyl, this figure is a cross promotion for the upcoming theatrical release of Shin Godzilla. This particular release is based on the Godzilla 1994 monsterart which is pretty cool considering the following year is when Evangelion premiered. This version of Godzilla is done up in iconic Eva Unit 01 color scheme which oddly gives him the appearance of wearing a green bikini. (Try unseeing that!)
S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla Feat. EVA-01 will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 9936 yen.
In stores this week is another issue of IDW‘s Godzilla Oblivion series!
Godzilla Oblivion #2
King Ghidorah invades a world that has never known monsters. The world’s military and scientists struggle to find a way to stop him. The only option may be the unthinkable?

IDW kicks off a new Godzilla comic series today with Godzilla Oblivion!
Godzilla Oblivion #1
A scientist has created a portal to another dimension-one where monsters rule supreme! A terrifying expedition begins into a world where hope has died and Godzilla is the unrivaled King of the Monsters. But what happens when a baby kaiju hitches a ride back to the original, monster-less dimension?

Teased just one week ago on the official Bluefin Tamashii facebook page, we now have a full reveal of the upcoming S.H. Monsterarts GMK Godzilla thanks to the Tamashii Web Shop!
GMK Godzilla, so named for the 2001 film Godzilla Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant All-Out Monsters Attack, has been a highly demanded release for some time. Finally those wishes will be granted in form of a Tamashii Web Exclusive release of this figure in June. Japanese retail for S.H. Monsterarts GMK Godzilla is 8856 yen and the figure includes no accessories.
As with all Monsterarts this figure should be imported to the US via Bluefin as a standard retail release.
Despite Tamashii Nations delving into more and more properties in recent years, it’s been a rather quiet time for the S.H. MonsterArts line. After the exciting coverage of Godzilla‘s Heisei era and a quick delve into the Millennium films, Legendary Pictures 2014 film and even the Gamera franchise, the line seemed to stop altogether with only a few repaints trickling through.
However things may be about to change, with the Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA Facebook page teasing a release that’s sure to excite. After cryptically posting the poster for the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant All-Out Monsters Attack! (also known to fans as) on their Facebook page earlier in the week, today they have also released an image of foot looking rather like that of Godzilla’s. Better yet is that the accompanying post states that the foot is articulated, which hopefully indicates a fully poseable figure rather than a statue (a direction some have speculated the SMHA line may have been heading towards).
Is the 2001 GMK version of Godzilla about to join the S.H. MonsterArts line? Bluefin also revealed that the figure will be going up for preorder next week so be sure to check back for more news!
Toho has released the first teaser trailer for their new Godzilla movie!
A poster has also been released, giving us our first look at the Godzilla design for this feature and confirming the films’ official title- Godzilla: Resurgence!
Written & directed by Hideaki Anno, Godzilla: Resurgence is scheduled for release in theaters on July 29, 2016!
Well this looks like something we can all definitely be thankful for this year! Occasionally we share rare & interesting toku auctions we find on ebay but this is on an entirely different level.

Running the range of Metal Heroes, Super Sentai, Ultraman, Godzilla, & Kamen Rider this auction consists of a number of rare finds from a personal collection that was greatly cared for with many items having either never been opened or even used.
It isn’t often we see near mint & rare vintage releases like this for sale. So we wanted to share this with the community in the hopes that someone here may finally be able to fill a unique hole in their collection they’ve been after!
