The Legendary Kaiju Returns in a New Form
The iconic Godzilla from the film ‘Shin Godzilla’ is getting a stunning new collectible! Based on the kaiju, the monster sofubi “G-Saurus Series” is releasing a “Godzilla (2016)” figure with a repaint color scheme and a brand new head sculpt. Pre-orders are currently open on the “Marui Garage Online Store” within the Bandai Namco Group’s official mail-order site, “Premium Bandai.”

About the Film: Shin Godzilla
The movie ‘Shin Godzilla’ is the 29th film in the Godzilla series, released in 2016 with Anno Hideaki handling the script and general direction, and Higuchi Shinji serving as director and special effects director. With the catchphrase “Reality (Japan) vs. Fiction (Godzilla).”, it depicted the confrontation between humanity and Godzilla, which appears as a “massive unidentified organism” in modern Japan, with overwhelming realism and unpredictable, fast-paced development. It was a massive hit, grossing over 8.2 billion yen and winning seven awards at the “40th Japan Academy Film Prize,” including Best Picture.
What is the G-Saurus Series?
The “G-Saurus Series” is a line of monster sofubi figures that three-dimensionalize a ferocious and impactful Godzilla, looking as if it could move at any moment, through unique sculpting expression. This new “G-Saurus Godzilla (2016) Awakening Heat Ray Emission Ver.” features the Godzilla body from ‘Shin Godzilla’ painted in purple to evoke the image of its heat ray emission scene. It comes with two newly sculpted, interchangeable heads: a “Heat Ray Emission Head” with a broken lower jaw and a “Powerful Bite Head.”

Articulation and Display Options
With the use of a tail stand and an ample range of motion in the neck, both shoulders, arms, wrists, legs, and tail, you can create expressive and varied displays. Using the included tail stand allows you to recreate scenes like Godzilla advancing in a forward-leaning stance or roaring.

Furthermore, the tail stand is engraved with the “G-Saurus” logo. The details are vividly and realistically expressed with a brilliant color scheme that utilizes the transparency of clear parts, seen in the dorsal fins and inside the mouth, thanks to clever clear material and gradient paintwork.


Even the fine details, like the skin texture, have been sculpted with overwhelming quality. This is a sofubi model with maxed-out information density and high display value that any fan would want to add to their collection, even though it’s a sofubi figure.
