Shin Gojira - Gojira - Movie Monster Series - Awakening Ver. (Bandai)Gojira · Bandai

Bandai's Movie Monster Series captures Godzilla in its Awakening Version from the 2016 film Shin Gojira (Shin Godzilla). This figure represents the creature's evolving forms as depicted in Hideaki Anno's reimagining of the iconic kaiju, offering collectors an affordable yet detailed addition to the long-running Movie Monster Series line. In Shin Gojira, Godzilla emerges as a previously unknown organism that undergoes dramatic physical transformations as it adapts and evolves. The Awakening Version specifically depicts the creature in an earlier stage of its emergence, before it reaches its fully evolved final form. The film recontextualized Godzilla as a response to governmental dysfunction and bureaucratic paralysis, with the creature's evolution serving as a metaphor for unstoppable, unpredictable crisis. The figure stands approximately 165mm tall and is made of plastic. It is part of Bandai's Movie Monster Series, a mass-market line recommended for ages 3 and up. The Awakening Version was released as part of Wave 4 of the series, with TOHO CO., LTD. credited as the licensor.
