Shin Godzilla, directed by Hideaki Anno, was released in 2016 and is a bold and creepy reinvention of the Godzilla mythos. Unlike previous incarnations, this version frames the once King of the Monsters as an ever-evolving and unpredictable organism. Starting as a wicked and grotesque amphibious creature, the monster keeps evolving before mutating into its more familiar, terrifying form. Tamashii Nations now brings the horror of Shin Godzilla to life once more with their latest S.H. MonsterArts Movie Graphic Plus figure.

Return to the end of the Heisei era with a brand new figure of Tamashii's S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (2016) 4th Form Night Battle Ver. release from 2023. This version will keep its wicked articulated jaw as well as an articulated tail, but now featuring a brand new deco. This one is inspired by the infamous moment that Japan witnessed the fury of this Godzilla hyper beam attack, showing that glowing purple effect throughout its body. Tamashii Nations has also included a companion poster accessory to display with this mutated kaiju in all his glory. Pre-orders are not live yet, but should arrive soon for the Shin Godzilla S.H.MonsterArts with a February 2026 release.
