Kaiju movies are indisputably one of the biggest phenomenons to come out of Japanese pop culture. 1954’s ‘Godzilla’ is the film that brought the world of giant monsters to an international stage and spawned a successful franchise of films, TV shows, books, and merchandise. What is S.H. Monster Arts? Mine came in great condition, looks absolutely amazing and I'm pleased to say that this batch seems to have a better paint application on the mouth than the first ones that were shipped out. It's a shame it doesn't include the Atomic Breath effect. That's unforgivable. It comes with two alternate hands, that's it. Articulation is terrific, the paint isn't sloppy at all and the joints are functional with acceptable range of motion as expected. While his title as the one true “King of the Monsters” will never change, Godzilla’s design has seen some changes with each new movie that comes out. On top of that, these movies have also introduced the world to a roster of other legendary kaijus that are just as fear-inducing as Godzilla is. S.H. MonsterArts is a Japan-made collection of high-quality figures that depicts many of these Godzilla and kaiju designs. This collection is a favorite amongst true kaiju fans because of its extensive lineup, well-made quality, and fully movable characteristics. They have figures of Godzilla from all of the main movies and even special edition figures you won’t find anywhere else. A number of manufacturers produce items in batches according to demand. The manufacturing process takes considerable time as the items are often hand painted.
