Shin Godzilla merchandise is building toward the film's 10th anniversary. Premium Bandai is bringing back the DefoReal Godzilla (2016) Awakening Light Ver. figure, using the same mold as its 2019 release, with pre-orders starting June 24, 2026 at 12:00 JST. The 14 cm figure includes a lighting gimmick for the mouth, neck, dorsal fins, tail fins, and tail tip. It is priced at 17,600 yen and ships in September 2026.
Good Smile Company is reaching a less merchandised design. On October 5, 2026, it opened pre-orders on Amazon.co.jp for a Nendoroid of Godzilla's second form from the 2016 film, listed as "Shin Godzilla Nendoroid Godzilla (2016) 2nd Form." The painted, posable, non-scale figure is about 160mm, comes with a dedicated stand, and is priced at 7,110 yen including tax. It is scheduled for release on February 28, 2027. Sculpting is credited to Nendoron.
The designer of the 2nd Form figure is not credited in available stories. The Godzilla design carries Toho's trademark and copyright notice, noted in the Good Smile pre-order article, which also warned that stock and prices may shift. Separately, Yoshihiro Nishimura, a Japanese director and special effects artist known for his work on Shin Godzilla and the live-action Attack on Titan film, died on May 27, 2026 at age 59 after a battle with liver disease.
