There's
not much I can say here beyond the words... GODZILLA
KOOSH BALL! Released in 1998, this Koosh Ball was one
of many items to be released alongside the famous reptile's
American remake. Clearly based off of the US version
of Godzilla, this ball is held together by countless
rubber hairs. The ball also has Godzilla's head, arms,
legs, tail, and three of its back spines, all of which
are made of rubber and are bendable to some degree.
Unlike other Godzilla items, this doesn't really belong
sitting alongside actual fingers, instead this neat
little Koosh Ball looks best sitting on a desk or on
a book case, or maybe even as a paper weight. The little
ball makes for a great outside toy. I should know...
I used it as such during my own childhood.
There's not much one can complain about this release
besides the fact it can be hard to get it to stand
properly. One really has to bend the legs a bit and
he needs to lean against his tail in order to be for
it to be showcased. As expected, he can't strike any
poses, but then I don't think any Koosh Balls are able
to.
Surprisingly, given the nature of this release, Godzilla's
actual parts sport some good detail. Everything here
looks near-identical to the movie's star iguana, including
detailed limbs and very nicely done dorsal fins for the
beast. Besides that, there's not much one can say to
describe a release like this like one would an actual
figure. It is a Godzilla Koosh Ball after all, and Koosh
Balls are simply awesome. Now if only we could get some
Koosh Balls of the real Toho kaiju.
