To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Godzilla, FUJIMI’s CHIBIMARU series is releasing an exciting new model kit: the Mecha-King Ghidorah 70th Anniversary Edition. Set to launch in April 2025 at ¥6,490 (approximately $45 USD), this Q-version model kit reimagines the legendary cybernetic kaiju with adorable proportions while retaining its fierce mechanical details.
The Legend of Mecha-King Ghidorah
Introduced in the 1991 film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, Mecha-King Ghidorah was created when time-traveling villains attempted to erase Godzilla’s existence by replacing him with a new monster, King Ghidorah. However, their plan backfired, and a stronger Godzilla defeated the golden dragon, leaving it incapacitated in the ocean.
In a last-ditch effort to stop Godzilla, scientist Emi Kano returned to the 23rd century, where King Ghidorah was revived using advanced cybernetic technology. Now equipped with mechanical wings, a reinforced body, and a piloted control system, Mecha-King Ghidorah was sent back to the past to challenge Godzilla again in an epic battle.
