Kaijuu Daisensou - Gojira - Movie Monster Series - 1965 (Bandai)Gojira · Bandai

This figure depicts Godzilla as the kaiju appeared in 1965, part of Bandai's Movie Monster Series line. The 1965 version represents Godzilla from the film "Invasion of Astro-Monster" (also known as "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero"), a Showa-era entry in the long-running franchise. Bandai's Movie Monster Series is known for delivering affordable, articulated sofvi figures of Godzilla across his many cinematic incarnations. The 1965 Godzilla design is notable among fans for its distinctive, more friendly appearance characteristic of mid-Showa era films, where Godzilla had transitioned from a destructive force to a heroic figure who defends Earth against alien threats. In "Invasion of Astro-Monster," Godzilla teams up with Rodan and humanity against the Xiliens and King Ghidorah, cementing his role as a protector. Collectors have anticipated this particular version for some time, as it fills a gap in the Movie Monster Series lineup of Showa-era Godzilla designs. The figure stands approximately 70mm tall and is manufactured by Bandai. It is part of the broader Movie Monster Series, which covers kaiju from across the Godzilla franchise and related Toho properties.
