【Terror of Mechagodzilla】Fully new sculpt of "power," "destruction," and "menace"! ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS Mechagodzilla Re:Imagination with diorama base newly debuts!

An item emitting tremendous presence, likely to make voices come out spontaneously like “This is precisely the horrific robot kaiju destroying cities!”, has appeared. Its name is “ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS Mechagodzilla Re:Imagination”. Taking Mechagodzilla appearing in the movie “Terror of Mechagodzilla” released in 1975 as subject matter, it is a plastic model making atrociousness and overwhelming destructive power felt in the show into 3D figures through new interpretations. Speaking of Mechagodzilla, it is a fearsome mechanical kaiju equipped with weapons all over its body, but this time's item does not stay at mere reproductions of movie figures. Shaping even impacts tasted across screens and coerciveness as if giant enemies are pressing close is a major feature. Not to mention kaiju movie fans of former years, it is a single piece wanting attention paid even by people who like powerful sculpted works.

What was in charge of the prototype of this Mechagodzilla was sculpting artist Taro Murai. What is particularly interesting is places incorporating Japanese traditional culture into design ideas. Amazingly, adopting elements such as sumo wrestlers, kabuki, and hannya as sculpting essences. You might feel wondering like “Sumo wrestlers and hannya in a robot kaiju?”, but this is a truly interesting combination. Imposing power reminiscent of sumo wrestlers, dramatic force like kabuki, and frightfulness associating with hannya further enhance the ferocious image of Mechagodzilla. Ideas expressing impressions remaining in memories of people who watched footage of those days in more vivid forms, rather than reducing figures appearing in movies as they are, are charming. Enjoying unique presence precisely realized because of completely new sculpting is possible.

To pull out charms of giant kaiju, not only sculptings of main bodies, but surrounding scenery is also important, isn't it? In this product, scenic bases arranging destroyed buildings and rubble are attached. What becomes motifs is scenes attacking streets of Yokosuka in the movie “Terror of Mechagodzilla”. Combining collapsed buildings and Mechagodzilla, enjoying horrific scenes trampling cities three-dimensionally is possible. What wants attention drawn here is the point that scenic bases are not mere display pedestals. Precisely because traces of destruction exist in surroundings, the enormity and tremendous power of robot kaiju stand out. Because being able to display as diorama works cutting out single scenes after completion, every time gazing you seem likely to immerse in tense worldviews unique to kaiju movies.

Not ending with force of appearances alone is also a point that cannot be missed of this plastic model. Replacing parts for heads, reproducing states where internal electronic brains are exposed is possible. Being able to enjoy eerie figures unique to mechanical lifeforms differing from normal heads is a pleasing specification, isn't it? Furthermore, equipping movable mechanisms in mouths, necks, wrists, and waists. Adjusting orientations of respective parts even after completion, pursuing expressions and poses of your preference is possible. And attention also to hatches of Cross Attack Beams, which are indispensable when talking about Mechagodzilla's armaments. Because these can be attached choosing open states and closed states, finishing matching preferred battle images is possible. It is a committed specification packed with fun building in up to fine parts.

The real pleasure of “ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS Mechagodzilla Re:Imagination” lies in the interest of assembly itself, which cannot be tasted merely by gazing at completed products. Bodies equipped with characteristic heads and armaments, and processes shaping destroyed streetscapes with your own hands are experiences precisely like building up worlds of kaiju. Every time combining respective parts, horrific figures of Mechagodzilla appear little by little. Fusing respect for movies and originality of sculpting artists, this product is an item letting you encounter charms of new Mechagodzilla while letting you feel nostalgia. For people who want to thoroughly build in kaiju plastic models or people who want to add works of outstanding presence to collections, isn't it a single machine that cannot be missed?
