Godzilla vs. Destoroyah Returns in Glorious Vinyl with All-New 2.0 Figures!
Bandai is commemorating the 30th anniversary of the epic 1995 film Godzilla vs. Destoroyah with two entirely newly sculpted soft vinyl figures in the Movie Monster Series:
🔥 Burning Godzilla (1995) Ver.2.0
👹 Destoroyah Ver.2.0
Releasing on May 31, 2025, both kaiju icons receive major upgrades over their 2017 counterparts—with improved proportions, sharper detailing, and more screen-accurate color finishes.
🔥 Burning Godzilla (1995) Ver.2.0 – The Walking Meltdown
In the 1995 film, Godzilla’s body becomes a literal nuclear furnace after exposure to highly pure uranium deposits in Birth Island’s crust. The meltdown causes his internal temperature to soar, turning his skin a fiery crimson glow and placing him at the edge of critical meltdown—his core reaching over 1200°C!
This Ver.2.0 figure is a total rework, bringing out that intensity in physical form:
✔ Completely new mold and improved posture
✔ More accurate glowing skin pattern using layered crimson paint
✔ Enhanced sculpting that mimics the rubber suit used in the movie
✔ Signature glowing chest and dorsal fins recreated with precision
With a height of 165 mm (Approximately 6.5 inches), this new Burning Godzilla looks ready to erupt right off your shelf. From my own experience with the 2017 release, this new version fixes that figure’s bulky proportions and better captures the tragic power of a Godzilla on the brink of destruction.
👹 Destoroyah Ver.2.0 – The Final Demon-Like Enemy
Born from the aftermath of Dr. Serizawa’s Oxygen Destroyer, Destoroyah is the terrifying result of ancient crustacean micro-organisms exposed to extreme energy. Evolving from tiny 2 mm creatures into a horrific towering monster over 200 meters, Destoroyah absorbed DNA from Godzilla Jr. and power from a nuclear plant, eventually taking its demonic final form.
The Ver.2.0 release improves on all aspects:
✔ New mold with sharper details on wings, claws, and horns
✔ Bold color gradients capturing his mutated crustacean armor
✔ Improved face sculpt showing off his snarling, devilish features
✔ Height set at 170 mm (Approximately 6.7 inches), perfectly scaled to stand against Burning Godzilla
I’ve handled the original Destoroyah vinyl and always found it a bit soft in detail. This new version looks fiercer and closer to what fans remember from the climactic battle—the ultimate 90s Godzilla villain!
