Bandai Launches CAPSULEVERSE Gashapon Line With Four Godzilla Figures
CAPSULEVERSE is a new brand built around the capsule itself as a display case, and Bandai is using Godzilla to open it rather than a cheaper test property.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Bandai will release CAPSULEVERSE Godzilla in the fifth week of October 2026, priced at 800 yen per play. The set is the launch of CAPSULEVERSE, a new figure brand for capsule display in which figures stand against a relief background drawn from each film. The lineup has four types: Godzilla (1974), Mechagodzilla (1974), Godzilla (1954), and Godzilla (2023). Two figures placed back to back cross their battles inside the capsule.
Each figure sits in front of a relief background tied to its own film, so the capsule is part of the product rather than packaging. Bandai's stated hook is pairing: put two lineup figures back to back and their battles meet inside the shell, which is why the set mixes 1954, 1974, and 2023 versions in one run.
At 800 yen per play, the set arrives in the fifth week of October 2026. Mechagodzilla (1974) sits alongside two Godzilla suits and the 2023 design, giving the lineup a monster pairing for the 1974 slot.
- Godzilla (1974): Realistic figure posed against a relief background
- Mechagodzilla (1974): The 1974 mechanical counterpart in the same lineup
- Godzilla (1954): The original film version
- Godzilla (2023): The 2023 design
