On their IG account, they mistakenly labeled the 9th release as the 10th and the 10th release as the 9th. From the 11th release onward, they decided to restart the numbering at 1 and continue sequentially. I have decided to correctly number the releases from 9 and up. *** Godzilla 1995 (9th color release). Wonder Festival held February 12, 2023. Sculpted by Masami Yamada.

Looks like nice big runs of everything, judging by the amount that have made it onto YJA already. Enjoying all of them but the smooth noodly arms on an otherwise textured Shin Goji are throwing me off. The '54 looks pretty darn close to the suit to my untrained eyes, but I still think it's styled beautifully.
The Kamata kun realllly looks like the standard issue first Bandai release IMO. I love Godzilla as much as the next guy but I’ll wait it out before I decide on collecting this new brand as only the 54s seem somewhat impressive so far.
@Gojigirl posted this pic of her '54 Sarujirushi, and it honestly won the internet for me today. There is no way seeing this toy could not give me a smile, and it was some cheering up I needed. I am so happy that such a toy exists. Everything about it is brilliance; this is what monster toy collecting is about. Thank you, Linda. View this post on Instagram
You are welcome! I love this guy too. I was going to improvise one to look like this but never got around to it. Been looking at that photo SO many years. This one is a very satisfying release. Thanks for the mention.
I like the 54 and ukulele molds a lot. The Shin ones arent really hittin for me though. They seem like a $8 bandai Ultraman toy or something.
Think this will be sold at a Japanese online convention. Unsure how to register even with a proxy address, or if that's even possible. Click through for the original instagram post.
you can register, it’s just the usual navigation nightmare of a Japanese 1990s website. I guess it opens up for previews a few days early on the 16th. Who can really know
I thought this was interesting... a snapshot taken from Saru's recent IG story: I heard from one source it might be an attempt to repurpose the coveted Nauts storyboard Godzilla while getting around licensing issues by sculpting a new head.
It definitely looks like the same body, legs, and tail. I just noticed the arms are new as well. Anyway, I could be mistaken but I believe the storyboard was sculpted by Masami Yamada so they're just repurposing the mold. Photo courtesy of Kaiju Battle.
I was going to add that there is a pre-order for the Sarujirushi figure on Godzilla.com but it must have only been up for a short while. Some info from the preorder: This 1964 Godzilla 11” glow in the dark soft vinyl sofubi is made in Japan by Sarujirushi. This is an exclusive Brain Dead color releasing in very limited quantities for this collection. This is the first time this mold, sculpted by the master Masami Yamada, has ever been available in the US!
It's definitely funky and weird and atypical, but so is Brain Dead. Feels very in line with their brand.
Super fun collab, hope it means more to come from the 2 brands! The dots remind me of Biskup's Virus colorway which I personally love. Fingers crossed for the lotto here
