Japanese toy company X-Plus Co., Ltd. have unveiled two new classic Toho kaiju coming to their Giant Monster line this coming December! Fans will surely want to add these two amazing monsters to their collections as soon as they become available!
Take a Look...
King Ghidorah (1968)

King Ghidorah finally joins the X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series, with a sculpt that faithfully reproduces the Three-Headed Monster’s appearance in the classic DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (?????, Kaiju Soshingeki, 1968).
King Ghidorah incorporates design elements X-Plus had developed for their previous Toho figures. The figure’s wings are sculpted of ABS plastic and interlock with ABS joints built into the figure’s body, a technique also used for Large Monsters Series adult Mothra. This extra support allows Ghidorah to have a wingspan of approximately 60cm.
Support wires are also built into the monster’s three necks for added stability, as X-Plus did in the past for the vines on the Biollante figure.
The Shounen Ric Limited Edition King Ghidorah comes with a bonus Kilaak flying saucer not available from other retailers.
Godzilla (1964)
Product Size: Height Approximately 31cm
Material: Poly Resin
Specifications: Painted

X-Plus continues their celebration of Godzilla’s 60th anniversary with the Real Master Collection release of Godzilla 1964, depicting the King of the Monsters as seen in the fan favorite film, MOTHRA VS GODZILLA (???????, Mosura Tai Gojira, 1964).
First released as a soft vinyl figure in September 2010, the Real Master Collection: Godzilla 1964 is constructed of poly resin to allow a higher degree of surface detail. The figure’s mouth is open to menace his foes (the bonus closed mouth part for the soft vinyl figure is not included here). Godzilla stands on a base with an attached nameplate.
This item is sold exclusively online by Shounen Ric and will not be available from retail stores.
Two great additions to say goodbye to 2014 - the 60th anniversary of the King of the Monsters!
