The Shin Godzilla – Nendoroid Large Godzilla (2016) Figure is Good Smile Company’s oversized Nendoroid take on the Godzilla from Shin Godzilla, and it sells for $149.99. I’ll be honest, the idea of the most unsettling Godzilla ever filmed getting the big-head Nendoroid treatment made me grin before I’d even read the size.
The Shin Godzilla – Nendoroid Large Godzilla (2016) Figure is a painted plastic, non-scale, articulated figure made by Good Smile Company. It stands approximately 195mm (appx. 7.68 in) tall, includes a stand, and is priced at $149.99.
A Big Nendoroid for a Very Strange Godzilla
Regular Nendoroids live around palm size, so a 195mm (appx. 7.68 in) Nendoroid is a different animal, and Good Smile is billing it as a large 20cm size on purpose. That extra height matters for this design. Shin Godzilla’s whole look is about clutter: knotted red-black skin, a tiny pair of arms, and a tail that keeps going long after you think it’s done. At normal Nendoroid size, that texture would turn to mush, and here it’s got room to stay readable.
Cute Is Doing a Lot of Work Here
The official copy calls this Godzilla adorable twice, which is a brave word for the creature Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi built to look like a walking disaster report. I think the joke lands, though. Those famous blank, tiny eyes and that stiff, upright posture already read a little awkward on screen, and the chibi proportions just lean into it. The paintwork is done partially by hand, so expect small variations from piece to piece, which honestly suits a monster whose skin never looked finished in the film either.
Posing, and the Stand You’ll Actually Need
It’s articulated, and Good Smile wants you to pose it. One caveat sits right in the listing: this figure doesn’t balance on its own, so the included stand isn’t optional. Given how back-heavy that tail is, I’m not surprised, and I’d rather have a dependable stand than a figure that faceplants every time the AC kicks on. Plan your shelf depth around the tail, not the head.
How It Sits Next to the Serious Stuff
If your Godzilla shelf leans toward X-Plus’s Toho vinyl line, you know the appeal of a heavy, screen-faithful sculpt. This Nendoroid plays a totally different game: simplified volumes, glossy painted plastic, and charm over menace. I like it as the comic relief next to something grim, the same way the film itself cuts from horror to a room full of officials arguing over paperwork. Note that the images shown are prototypes, so some details may change in the final release.

The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Shin Godzilla needed four forms of evolution to become the one everybody knows. Good Smile hands me the finished result for $149.99, which is about $37.50 per form. Tokyo paid for the same upgrades in neighborhoods.
How to tell your wife: Babe, Shin Godzilla starts with a missing professor whose last note says he did as he pleased, and so should everyone else. Japan only survived because the government followed that man’s notes. So I did as I pleased, for Japan.
How to tell your parents: Dad, you always worried I’d grow up to be a nerd. In Shin Godzilla, the generals and ministers can’t stop him, and Japan gets saved by a team of nerds, misfits and outcasts. I’m just staying ready for my country.
How to tell your kids: This is Shin Godzilla, and the movie ends with Japan freezing him solid in the middle of Tokyo, where nobody dares move him. That’s why he stays on his stand, exactly how I posed him. Move him and we’re all watching two hours of government meetings.
This is a sold-out, hand-painted, 195mm joke about the scariest Godzilla in the franchise, and the joke is good enough that I think it earns a spot next to your serious vinyl. If you missed it, we’ll update this when Good Smile Company announces a restock or ship date.
