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!
One more trailer for the newest Godzilla project has been posted online!
This gives us our best look yet at the newly-redesigned King of the Monsters and his new world-
Directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, Resurgence blasts into Japanese theaters on July 29, 2016.
Perhaps the most terrifying iteration of the king of monsters yet is coming up for release in a few months and today Bandai has released a full set of official images for him! S.H. Monsterarts Shin Godzilla, from director Hideaki Anno’s upcoming Shin Godzilla film, is presented in these official images in all of his horrifying glory.
Scheduled as a retail release in November, Shin Godzilla will retail for 12,960 yen. This behemoth figure comes in at over 7″ (18 cm) tall and has a body length from head to tail of over 16″ (40 cm)! So Shin Godzilla certainly seems to live up to the radical take on the character we’ve seen in the films’ trailer. He does not however appear to come with any sort of effect parts or other accessories.

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 unexpected fashion a new exclusive has just been revealed as a tie-in for the upcoming Toho film Shin Godzilla, or as it will be known in the west Godzilla Resurgence.
