The Bandai
Creation line of figures has been very, very interesting
since it started pumping out Godzilla figures in
2002. At first, the toys seemed to be basic figures,
but this latest batch, made in 2007, not only introduced
the 12 inch classics, but also Godzilla 2000 and
Destoroyah in less-than-play sculpts and more for
display sculpts.
Six inches tall with a wide wing span, Destoroyah
differes greatly from his Japanese counterpart.
He's larger and scales in better with both
the Japanese and American released Burning Godzillas.
You can check out the group picture to see for yourself.
His arms can rotate, as well as his tail. His larger
set of wings can also move somewhat, but no matter
how you put them, nothing looks better than the
basic pose, which makes one wonder why even be able
to move those parts?
Moving on, Destoroyah has some great detail for
a $12.99 toy. It's properly painted, as are the
many tiny teeth that adorn its jaws and its yellow
eyes. Also, a nice treat for fans, is his smaller
set of wings. With arms pointed down, his wings
open, and head pointed up to the side roaring, this
figure looks amazing on the shelf.
If there's one real complaint I can make,
it is the arms. They're pointed down for some
reason and while it does make his pose look cool,
it just looks odd if you're trying to pose
him with other kaiju in a face off. Another small
complaint is his frills. While you can't see
it from the front, they're overly fat. This
could have been made to prevent smaller kids from
breaking them off.
A great figure for a great price, a fan can't ask
for more. You can find them at KB Toys and some
other stores, along with the Hedorah, Godzilla '68,
Godzilla 2000, and if you're lucky, the Mechagodzilla
(Kiryu) - 12" Classic and the Godzilla
[2004] - 12" Classic.
