The Tokyo Comic Con is currently underway in Japan this weekend and among the extensive displays from various companies is a special treat for Godzilla fans. Bandai Tamashii Nations have revealed their S.H. MonsterArts figures for next years Godzilla: King of the Monsters movie, with Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah on display!

This marks our first proper look at the three iconic kaiju that will be joining the King of the Monsters for this film, and though there have been some changes (Mothra’s body in particular) it’s clear that Legendary Pictures have remained relatively faithful to Toho‘s original designs.

Although the S.H. MonsterArts line has remained a strictly Godzilla-affair for sometime now, it looks like everyone’s favourite child-friendly turtle will be joining the line once again with the announcement of S.H. MonsterArts Gamera [1999]!

Based on the monster’s appearance from the third film in the Heisei Gamera trilogy, Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris, Gamera [1999] is a remould of the original MonsterArts Gamera figure featuring a new spiked shell to match the movie suit. The magazine images confirm that the alternate flight parts from the previous release will be carried over, together with a brand new alternate translucent orange right arm – recreating the final scenes of the movie where Gamera defeats Iris with a fiery plasma fist.

S.H. MonsterArts Gamera [1999] will be a mass release item released in October 2018 for the price of 10800 yen. Be sure to check out the full-sized image and let us know your thoughts after the jump!
