Wacky Kaiyama's Latest Gacha Exploration Part 3: "Godzilla and Rice, Itchy to Touch!　A nifty new product unique to Gacha".

Capsuleer Wacky Kaizan, who has spent most of his life with his GACHA-GACHA collection, will be reviewing the latest GACHA that he is interested in. Here is the start of the third installment!

Vol.6 Shin Godzilla "Chibitto Shin Godzilla (2nd form)" Bandai, 200 yen

This is Bandai's 18th character product!　A desktop figure of the hit movie "Shin Godzilla," which was released last year, is now available!

Moreover, it is the second form, which has an immense visual impact and maximum creepiness!　The beauty of Satomi Ishihara, who played the role of the U.S. Ambassador, is the exact opposite of the second form.... I had been looking forward to seeing how she would be sculpted, but I never expected to see her in such a ridiculous form! As expected of a capsule toy. And he's riding on your fingertips!

The lineup is relatively easy to complete, with a total of four types!　First of all, there is the "Yubinori ver!　The tail part is so cute that it sticks to the finger, and the modeling is also finished in a way that you can get attached to it. The tail part is so cute, and the sculpting is so adorable that we can't help but get attached to it!　Bandai's official website gives us an image of how to play with it, along with an illustration of the transparent fingers. Also, since the character went on a rampage in Kamata in the movie, the mini-book also shows him along with the traffic signs of Kamata, which is a very fine trick!

The "Hanging ver." and "Hooked ver." can be enjoyed in the same way as the "Let's get caught on the edge of the cup" capsules, but the "Hooked ver." capsule is caught on the edge by its chin, rather than by its tail!　This kind of playfulness is the charm of capsule toys, isn't it? If you didn't notice it, you wouldn't have passed it by!

And the most mysterious item is the "Overcome ver!　Overcoming a pen?　What's that? Actually, it seems to be able to climb over other desktop figures. Still, staring at this guy reminds me of the way he moves around the city in the movie. For fans of the movie, I think this is the most appropriate second form. When you look at it with your face close to it, you get a sense of fear, "What is going to happen to Japan now?" and the dynamic power of the figure can be felt very keenly. I recommend it.

As you can see, there is no longer any sense of urgency to sink Japan. Rather, you can even feel the peace of Shin when you hold this comical figure in your hands.

When I first saw the first "Godzilla" movie as a child, I was terrified and trembled. The impact of its appearance, which is a combination of a gorilla and a whale!　And the black-and-white images created an atmosphere of "I saw something I shouldn't have seen," and I remember feeling a sense of fear that could have been traumatic. With such memories in mind, I have to admit that I was a bit perplexed when the 2-headed SD Godzilla appeared as a gacha (toy) in the 1990s, or when comical anime pictures of Godzilla appeared. However, Godzilla had already appeared in the movie "Shay" (......), and I was troubled by the fact that "this is also part of the Godzilla worldview. As a result of such accumulated experiences, have I become immune to it without even knowing it?　I find myself able to accept "Chibitto Shin Godzilla" without much discomfort.

The other day, the long-awaited Blu-ray and DVD were released, so I enjoyed a highball poured into a cup with Godzilla dangling from it while watching the movie. ...... It may be a good item to accompany such a blissful time.
