Godzilla’s biggest and baddest foe comes next in our Tamashi Nations S.H. MonsterArts figures. This figure is impressive as it is expensive.
I am glad I got mine early on as it now retails on Amazon for over 200 dollars.
However, the figure is worth the price as it has a ton of articulation and
accessories. 
Expertly crafted by Yuji Sakai, each head and tail has been
meticulously and individually sculpted for the most accurate portrayal of King
Ghidorah. This version of Ghirodah comes from the Heisei series of the films to
match the rest of the characters in design, scale, and continuity. Standing an
impressive 10 inches tall, Ghidorah towers over Godzilla. Not a detail was
missed on this figure. From his three heads, elegant necks, giant wings, scaled
body, and two tails, Ghidorah is as beautiful as he is deadly. Tongues, teeth,
horns, eyes, and nostrils are distinct and detailed on each head. Each neck can
be posed independently and in any direction. The wings can flap and are sturdy.
The two-tails bend just like the necks in any direction.
The paint job is superb, but what else could it be? He is a
pure gold dragon. No shading of any kind besides inside the mouth and eyes.
Ghidorah’s accessories include three separate beam weapons
of his classic lightning and three stands for each. It does not come with a
base for the figure but Ghidorah stands upright and never seems like he will
fall over. Like all the figures, they can break easily and there are plenty of
warnings telling you not to over-pose the figure.
The box is gorgeous! Shiny and gold like Ghidorah, it sports
a picture window in the front to see a side view of the monster and a top
picture window with his name in gold. The box is a heavy duty cardboard and is
all in Japanese so I can’t read any of it.
Overall, the figures continue to impress me and I continue
to collect them. Ghidorah is a welcome addition to the collection and if he
only make his trademark cackle then the figure would be even more impressive!
