Bandai Spirits is adding two figures from the 2003 Toho film Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla: Tokyo SOS to its S.H.MonsterArts lineup. The Godzilla (2003) figure, sculpted and painted by veteran Godzilla sculptor Yuji Sakai, reproduces the suit's chest scar from the previous film and stands 155mm tall. It is set for a December 2026 release at 12,100 yen.
The Type-3 Kiryu figure uses die-cast parts in multiple sections to replicate the mecha's metallic weight. By swapping parts, collectors can display it as either the Heavy Armed Type or the High Mobility Type. The set includes a rail gun, a Spiral Claw right-arm part, and a damaged right-eye head piece. It releases in January 2027 at 19,800 yen. Both figures open for pre-order at general retailers on July 1, 2026.
