A new towering Godzilla figure from Diamond Select Toys recreates the iconic poster artwork from the 1993 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
A new figure based on 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II recreates the film's iconic poster. The film's misleading title indicates that it is a direct follow-up to 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, but that isn't actually the case. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II takes place in a separate continuity set during the Heisei era of Godzilla films whereas the former film takes place within the Showa era continuity.
In the original film, Mechagodzilla is portrayed as a malicious threat engineered by monkey aliens bent on conquering Earth. The robotic Kaiju appears to be defeated by the film's conclusion, but returns in the immediate 1975 installment, Terror of Mechagodzilla, to wreak havoc alongside the aquatic Kaiju, Titanosaurus. However, in the 1993 film, Mechagodzilla is a human invention created by the United Nations to defend against a destructive Godzilla.
Godzilla films from the Heisei era feature some of the most stunning posters of the entire franchise. Artist Noriyoshi Ohrai ensured that each of the era's seven films had its own unique and instantly recognizable poster artwork. Although his illustrations weren't always completely accurate to the Kaijus' final theatrical designs, the vivid colors and dramatic shading always captured the terror of the towering monsters.
Mechagodzilla made a surprise return to the big screen earlier this year in Legendary's Godzilla vs. Kong. Although Godzilla and Kong eventually defeated the robotic Titan by the film's conclusion, there is precedent for Mechagodzilla to return at some point in the future. In light of the Monsterverse's sudden resurgence in popularity, it's likely that Legendary will continue to take cues from previous entries in the Godzilla mythos like Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
