A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

The Japanese collectibles company X-Plus Co., Ltd. has provided SciFi Japan with information and high-res photos of the newest addition to their February 2017 lineup of giant monster figures... Toho 30cm Series: Godzilla 1954 (Biting Train Color Ver.). In 2011, Horizon Studio released the painted garage kit "First Godzilla/Train Biter" (??????????) by sculptor Ryu Oyama (Kaiju Remix Series, X-Plus Gigantic Series: Godzilla 1995). Based on a famous publicity still of Godzilla`s attack on Shinagawa Station in the original GODZILLA (???, Gojira, 1954), Oyama`s sculpt depicted the King of the Monsters clutching a passenger train in his hand and jaws, and came with a display base featuring the ruins of the Sukiya Bridge in Ginza. In February 2016, X-Plus offered a monochrome, soft vinyl version of Oyama`s Godzilla as part of their Toho 30cm Series., with the figure was painted in grey tones to replicate the texture of the black-and-white movie. One year later, X-Plus will release a new edition of the "Biting Train" figure, a "total natural color" version with a green train and Godzilla painted to resemble the look of the original Japanese film posters. The figure also comes with a new light-up feature for Godzilla’s dorsal fins which requires four AAA batteries (sold separately). This item is sold exclusively online by Shounen Ric and will not be available from retail stores. Recommended for fans and collectors ages 15 years and older. Another version of the "Biting Train" figure with alternate colors will be be sold exclusively at Wonder Festival Winter 2017. Photos and details coming soon!
