【Godzilla】Japan’s Secret Weapon from the 1984 Movie Finally Materialized! The Super X Mobile Fortress for Capital Defense Debuts as a Plastic Model!

The Super X, which appeared in the 1984 movie “Godzilla” as Japan’s trump card, has finally been materialized as a plastic model for the first time in the MODEROID series. That defense weapon, which bravely soared through the skies of Tokyo to confront the giant monster, now appears on your desk in a palm-sized form. Despite its compact length of 135mm, the form faithfully reproduces the on-screen image in every detail, offering a presence that blends nostalgia with novelty. For the generation that was moved by the movie, it's an irresistible reunion, and for younger fans who are new to Godzilla, it holds a strong appeal.

This Super X model doesn’t just replicate its appearance—it incorporates numerous gimmicks that convey the functional beauty of a weapon. First to catch the eye is the retractable turret mechanism on the top, and the extendable main cannon and rocket grenade launchers offer a lifelike sense of combat readiness. Furthermore, features like the cover of the Yaw Searchlight, side hatches, and bottom jet fans provide numerous movable parts that elevate the model’s completeness—not just for display, but also for dynamic enjoyment.

One of the pleasures of the MODEROID series is that the assembly process itself is an experience, and the Super X is no exception. The molded colors alone closely replicate the movie’s color scheme, and using the water-transfer decals makes the finish even more realistic. Even beginners can smoothly assemble it by following the instructions, and the satisfaction upon completion is considerable. For advanced modelers who enjoy painting, there’s plenty of room for customization, such as weathering details or emphasizing metallic textures. In short, this kit reliably captures the essence of Super X no matter who builds it, while offering ample depth for enhancing it with one’s own creative touch.

The Super X2 has also been materialized in the same MODEROID series and is designed to scale with this one, so displaying them together allows you to feel the world of the work more vividly. The Super X alone has a commanding presence, but placing it alongside its sequel counterpart visually brings out the evolution of technology and story progression. By collecting the series, you not only enjoy it as a model but also experience the history of the film firsthand—offering a unique kind of interaction with cinematic material in a tangible form.
