The Kiryu saga concludes! Three Kaiju legends come together in a final battle in GODZILLA: TOKYO S.O.S. Godzilla rages against Tokyo while Kiryu (aka Mechagodzilla) is on standby as politicians decide whether or not to relaunch. Meanwhile, Mothra and the Shobijin show up at the home of Chujo, an ex-soldier who met Mothra in the 1960s. The Shobijin ask for the Prime Minister to take Kiryu to the sea, so the bones of the original Godzilla it's built on can be laid to rest, but Japan doesn't believe Mothra will fight in Kiryu's place. All of this sets the stage for a titanic battle between Godzilla, Mothra and Kiryu that will decide the future safety of Japan. As with its prequel GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA, GODZILLA: TOKYO S.O.S. was scored by Michiru Oshima, who returned with an equally-brilliant score to shake the pillars of heaven. Oshima not only brings back her thrilling themes for Godzilla and Kiryu but also introduces a wonderfully versatile theme for Mothra, stunning in ethereal and melancholic modes, and of course, ‘Mothra's Song’ appears. There's a genuine emotional resonance to Oshima's music amongst the fire and the fury, with beautiful choral material homaging Akira Ifukube's original music from 1954. It's a triumph from Michiru Oshima and a thrilling musical climax to the great Kiryu saga! - Charlie Brigden

​Spiral Studio is proud to bring you the third release of "The Legacy Series: Tanaka Kenichi Modeling Collection" with the “Golden Demise”, “King of Terror”, King Ghidorah from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah(1991).
TLSTK-KG003: King Ghidorah 1991 is produced solely with PU Resin, with metal exoskeleton to support the weight of ginormous wings. This is to make sure that our King Ghidorah will remain as sturdy and durable as possible on your shelf, just like our King Ghidorah 2019 from Ultimate Masterline.
Yet again, Tanaka-sensei has proven himself as one of the leading sculptor in Godzilla market with King Ghidorah 1991. All the micro-details on the scales were sculpted individually in accordance with the reference of actual suit from the movie, as well as the posture where King Ghidorah’s necks were controlled by puppeteers using piano strings, resulting in his unique movements.
And with the benefits from using high-quality glass balls equipped in the eye sockets of our previous release, Zilla, we decided to give King Ghidorah the same treatment to enhance realism to the maximum level.
Our painting team at Spiral Studio also worked hard to depict the exact color of King Ghidorah 1991 portrayed in the movie where his scales consist of rusty gold and copper hue. We even added dusty effect into each scale piece by piece in order to capture the complete likeness.
After all, our goal is to ensure that this statue will be the absolute definitive piece and most accurate version of King Ghidorah 1991 for years to come.
