── Experience the ultimate Godzilla modeling with a plastic kit

A new Godzilla has been added to the ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS series, which brings you plastic kits of masterpieces!
The prototype was created by Shinobu Matsumura, a leading expert in natural history/biological modeling.
Based on promotional stills from the 1954 release of Godzilla, the film reconstructs and recreates the essence of the various Godzillas from over the past 70 years. Rather than recreating a suit or CG, the film depicts in 3D the image of the giant ancient creature as it appeared in Tokyo.
The collapsed Nichigeki Building and the elevated Japanese National Railway tracks at the base of the statue, as well as the pose of the statue gripping a train in its mouth, add to the realism of the statue.
Matsumura's soulful sculpture has been condensed into a fixed-pose plastic kit on a total of eight runners. The organic yet complex details of the body surface have been faithfully reproduced from the original model. Although it is divided into complex parts, it is sturdy thanks to the structure used in the previously released series, where the body surface parts are attached to the base body. The fit of the parts, which is a challenge with this method, is molded with high precision, and the parting lines are not noticeable.
The assembly itself is fun, and once completed, it becomes an ornament that can withstand display even in its unpainted, unassembled state. Of course, if you choose to paint it, the combination of the gigantic creature Godzilla and the collapsed structure will inspire your imagination.

- Painted example: Shinobu Matsumura
Godzilla (1954)'s body color is different from the black color of many subsequent Godzillas, and is often depicted in brown or gray like the image in the movie poster, but this time I chose a reddish-brown color that would suit the burning city. The area around Yurakucho Station, where the base is located, still retains quite the atmosphere of the time, except for Nichigeki Theater, so I painted it with that image in mind.
