Recently released and having made it’s way to collectors is S.H. Monsterarts Mothra! 

This monstrous addition to the Monsterarts line while not flocked, is textured in a way that would mimic it. The effect works brilliantly as you can see here. Mothra also includes a personalized Tamashii Stage with a unique adapter to hold her up. Read on to see size comparisons of the beast with Godzilla & Battra.

“A monster? No. A god”

This powerful line sets the tone for this new international/Asian trailer for Legendary’s 2014 Godzilla. If you thought you’d had a good look of the titular beast before, then be prepared to be spoiled with even more shots of this monster! As well as a wealth of new footage of the Muto creature!

Godzilla destroys theaters May 16th.
