The highly popular “DESKTOP MONSTER” series finally welcomes the Kiryu Type-3 (Kai) Heavy Arms Type. The sheer joy of placing Toho's original, meticulously sculpted design right on your desk is exciting enough, but this item is not just for display. The biggest selling point is its ability to function as a highly practical smartphone stand, despite its impressive size of approximately 16cm in height. It is truly worthy of being called a “figure with practicality.”

What makes this model special is its attention to detail. Kiryu's metallic armor and heavy-weaponry-like details are intricately reproduced, conveying a sense of weight the moment you place it on your desk. It goes beyond being a mere PVC model, excelling in exuding a presence reminiscent of steel. In particular, the reconstructed units and weaponry on the back are sculpted with great care, boasting a degree of perfection that changes the impression based on the viewing angle. It serves as a highly decorative piece on any desk, and even non-fans will recognize that it's “more than just a stand.”

Many people likely recall the form of Kiryu Type-3 (Kai) from Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla through Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. The evolution, featuring the variable drill arm “Spiral Claw” replacing the lost right arm, a thorough review of its armament, and the addition of attitude control boosters, is faithfully incorporated into this desktop model. Furthermore, the fact that Kiryu, having lost the Absolute Zero in the film, regained balance between firepower and sustained combat ability by installing the large-caliber Triple Hyper Maser Cannon is a feature you can appreciate through the sculpting. The more you know about the backstory, the more persuasive the design becomes.

Not being limited to mere display is one of the true pleasures of this series. Since both arms are articulated, it functions perfectly as a stand to support your smartphone, ideal for watching videos or using during breaks in desk work. Its solid construction of PVC and steel ensures exceptional stability. In other words, while being a “figure to enjoy on your desk,” it also acts as a “tool useful for daily life.” This dual appeal of being great for display and great for use gives it a strong individuality that other merchandise lacks.

The “DESKTOP MONSTER Kiryu Type-3 (Kai) Heavy Arms Type” is a detailed figure that satisfies the collector's desire for Godzilla fans, while also being a desk item that makes daily life slightly more convenient. The moment you prop up your smartphone while admiring the power of the sculpt will provide a special experience that ordinary daily goods cannot. This unit, combining heavy presence and practicality, is truly worthy of being called a warrior on your desk.
