A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

Last summer the Japanese collectibles company X-Plus Co., Ltd. and the publishing giant Kadokawa Corporation announced they were be partnering on a product tie-in for Toho`s SHIN GODZILLA (??????, Shin Gojira, 2016) in which Kadokawa would release a pair of mooks (a cross between a magazine and a book) that would be packaged with either a clear red or a glow-in-the-dark green figure kit of the new Godzilla. Scheduled for release in August 2016, the publication/figure sets were never produced. But, inspired by the demands of Godzilla fans, on December 22nd Kadokawa began taking pre-orders on a new collaboration with X-Plus; a Shin Godzilla limited edition color kit that would be sold on its own. Using the same sculpt as the standard Toho Daikaiju Series: Shin Godzilla figure recently released by X-Plus, the kit is molded with red clear soft vinyl to replicate the nuclear energy that glows from Godzilla`s body in the film. Unlike the traditional X-Plus Godzilla figures, this item is a kit that must be fully assembled. Model adhesive (not included) is required, and the individual pieces may need to be trimmed with a knife or heated with a hair dryer to fit snugly. Please read the instruction manual carefully before assembly. This item is sold exclusively by the Kadokawa website and will not be available from retail stores. Pre-orders are open until January 31, 2017. Recommended for fans and collectors ages 15 years and older. X-Plus is also releasing a glow-in-the-dark purple "roaring" Shin Godzilla kit in conjunction with Premium Bandai.
