One Shin Godzilla Japanese Blu-ray Bonus Is Cooler Than We Thought

2/16/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
When we posted about the Shin Godzilla Japanese Blu-ray release, and  one of the Godzilla Store bonuses appeared to be an acrylic sheet but as it turns out it is actually a acrylic set of different versions of Godzilla and more in 1/800 scale. The set includes Godzilla '54, '84, GMK 2001, Burning Godzilla '95, Godzilla 2000 (1999), Final Wars Godzilla, and of course Shin Godzilla, it also comes with the Parliament building, back round, scale display, small name plates, and stands for all. The length of the back round is over 28 inches with a height of almost 6 inches, the monsters are in scale with each other with Shin Godzilla coming in at almost 6 inches and Godzilla '54 being about 1/2 to 1/3 the size. Check out the images courtesy of Dengeki Hobby.

The Evolution Of Shin Godzilla: The Making Of A God?

1/4/2017

1 Comment

 
Picture
As most of us know Godzilla evolves during the course of Shin Godzilla from some type of sea creature to his final gigantic form in the film, but thanks to The Art Of Shin Godzilla book we know that actual may not be his final evolutionary form.

As most of us learned in school evolution happens over many generations over thousands, millions, even billions of years, but what if something triggered it to happen quicker.

In Shin Godzilla this certainly looks to be the case, in the film there are four "forms" that Godzilla goes through, with the ending leaving open to a possible fifth form.

​The thing is there are most likely many more forms to Godzilla during his evolution, as speculated when he was revealed that his early stage looks a lot like a Frilled Shark (bottom), and while he may not have been specifically a Frilled Shark he almost certainly evolved from something like that possible an unknown sea creature.

His evolution was most likely accelerated by nuclear energy, very much like past versions, so instead of taking years it takes days but it is not just the normal evolutionary process it's something far more scary.

​It appears in the film Godzilla can adapt also at greater speed shown by him suddenly having new abilities, not only shooting the ray from his mouth but then his back as well. 
Picture
​One adaption is his ability to absorb other life forms, his tail is the first evidence of this showing what appear to be other sea life.
Picture
​As in the films final scene, and now from The Art Of Shin Godzilla book, we realize the next evolution is human/Godzilla hybrids, but the question could be why.

​We are possibly the most intelligent creatures on the planet but obviously not the most powerful, Godzilla "realizes" this so he absorbs humans into his body to "use and learn" from us.

The human/Godzilla hybrids could be in a sense our replacements 
​going ​forward, they can fight us on more of an individual basis, one to one, where Godzilla can't, and allow Godzilla to continue to evolve even further. It's sort how we out lived the dinosaurs, we evolved to adapt better then they did. Godzilla maybe realize bigger isn't nessacarily better or that he needs to be more able to fight us.

Godzilla could be essentially making himself into a "God" like figure to his followers the human/Godzilla hybrids, "The Children Of Godzilla", his own race so to speak, what more perfect evolution could there be. We will just have to wait for the potential sequel to find out.

Amazon Japan Shin Godzilla Steelbook Blu-ray Exclusives

12/23/2016

Amazon Japan will have a exclusive version of Shin Godzilla featuring a Steelbook case for both the 4K and 3 Disc Blu-ray Sets. It seems from the listing there isn't any difference in the content, 3 or 4 Blu-ray discs, promo sheets, ticket holders, etc. From the image is a sample it does appear to have images on the in and outside, and shows that it can hold 4 discs so it is possible it's the same case for both. Of note it does state that it is region free which means US fans can purchase and play the movie. It will retail for 10,584 yen (approx $90 US) for the 4K, and  8,424 yen (approx $72 US) for the 3 Disc Blu-ray.

Shin Godzilla/7 Eleven Japan Blu-ray/DVD Promo

7 Eleven Japan is having a promo with the release of Shin Godzilla, the Shin Godzilla/Seven Net Limited Mechagodzilla No. 2 Machine Ver. Set. The set include the same Blu-ray/DVD's that we previously showed but instead of the ticket for the S.H. MonsterArts special figure the set includes a Godvilla Vs Evangelion MechaGodzilla figure. The figure is a repainted version of the Bandai Movie Monster series figure (6 inches we believe). Prices are about 2,000 yen (approx $17 US) over just the movie by itself (but less then the price of the S.H. MonsterArts figure plus the movie). It can be pre-odered from the Japanese 7 Eleven site with the same March 22 release.
