Zangyack and cyclones and crabs, oh my! Tonight has marked a flurry of activity as Tamashii Web is updating with the latest exclusives in their various lines in June. Prime among them is the long-anticipated and hinted S.H. MonsterArts “accessory” set intended to complete the upcoming Destoroyah release, from Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995). As reported last week, a leaked scan from Figure-Oh magazine with the name, price, and release month was quickly followed by newer scans earlier today and finally leading to the official Bandai announcement, product listing on Tamashii Webshop, and even confirmation from Bluefin that the set would be coming to the US!

The Destoroyah Evolution Set unfortunately includes no known effect parts, but still accessorizes well with the Destoroyah Final Form coming to Japan in February, expected in the US in March. The set includes three different stages in the growth of the Precambrian crustacean – a less-developed Crab, the infamous Aggregate Form which fought Godzilla Junior in the film, and the rarely-produced-in-plastic Flying Form which preceded the monstrous final form. All three figures are appropriated scaled to their final form as well as prior releases Burning Godzilla and Godzilla Junior and will be available in June at a cost of 8400 yen according to both the earlier scans and the Tamashii Web listing. Bluefin will be releasing the Destoroyah Evolution Set in North America as announced mere minutes ago on their Facebook page with pricing and date to be determined.

The English page for the highly anticipated S.H. MonsterArts King Kong] has been posted by Tamashii Nations. This figure is based on the incarnation of the big ape from Peter Jackson‘s 2005 King Kong remake. More info:

The S.H.MonsterArts King Kong is designed to replicate Richard Taylor’s stunning sculpt. The “volume” of the fur has been captured with exquisite fine detail. Even the scars from battles with the dinosaurs of Skull Island have been replicated exactly as they appear on-screen. These are indispensible details for portraying Peter Jackson’s unique take on King Kong.

The figure makes ample use of S.H.MonsterArts technology to portray both King Kong’s unique quadruped motion and bipedal fighting stances. His forward-leaning walking posture and his standing threat posture are captured with perfect realism, and the sculpt is designed so that the needed joints blend right in visually. The result is a figure that captures all of the power of King Kong onscreen.

Special attention was paid to his expressiveness. In addition to his normal, contemplative face, a roaring and threatening face, and the playful face are included as well. By combining these three different faces with different poses, you can re-create nearly any of Kong’s expressive scenes from the film.

Please also note the bits of Godzilla cut from the right edge of the photo… suggesting that Biollante isn’t the only titular star of Godzilla vs. Biollante to come from Bandai!

PREVIOUSLY: As many fellow TokuNation.com members and fans have noticed, the very first reveals of this year’s annual Tamashii Nation event have begun to trickle through. Not to be left out, our friends at Bluefin have been joining in the fun, all but confirming mere moments before an image was revealed that Sailor Moon would finally receive some much-needed attention!

However, Bluefin was also gracious enough to toss their tokusatsu fans a bone with a couple of cryptic but very revealing tweets from their official Twitter account that something else was coming. And she might be hungry…

Know what “she” is? Totally befuddled? Don’t worry, someone is sure to explain in our discussion! Expect more hints and, better yet, pictures from Tamashii Nation’s 5th Anniversary event in the coming hours and weekend, and we’ll have them all for you here at TokuNation.com!
