In 2002,
Bandai Creation unleashed a series of six inch figures
on an unsuspecting American public. To go along
with these figures, they also released a ten figure
set called the Pack of Destruction. This set included
Godzilla '54, Burning Godzilla, Minilla, Manda,
Moguera, Mothra Larva, Mothra Imago, Gigan, Destoroyah,
and the Aggregate Destoroyah. This review is for
the Aggregate Destoroyah figure, the only figure
of the creature released in America.
An inch tall, this tiny toy is made of rubber.
It sports no moveable parts, but for a creature
like this one, that's to be expected. Its
tail and arms, however, can be moved a bit thanks
to them being made out of rubber.
The monster has a good mold that is covered in
ridges, bumps, and texture. However, there is a
tiny flaw here: Destoroyah doesn't match his movie
colors. While in the 1995 movie he appears mostly
red, he's been re-colored black for this release.
It's not an overly bad look, but it does seem
kind of pointless.
For a tiny figure, the Aggregate Destoroyah isn't
half bad. Is he as good as High Grade Sets? No,
but he is a worthy addition to a fan's collection.
In addition the only way to get him is to get the
whole set, this also means one would get the rather
awesome Manda figure, a kaiju that's never
been given a proper release.
