X-Plus has just announced a reissue of the Yuji Sakai Godzilla ’89. But, unlike the original, this version will come with a closed mouth.
The Toho 30cm Series Yuji Sakai Modeling Collection Godzilla (1989) “Osaka Landing” Closed Mouth Version — yes, that’s 14 words — is now up for preorder.
The sculpt recreates a pose taken directly from the 1989 film Godzilla vs. Biollante. It stands at 11.25 inches and is 19.5 inches long.
The original version of this figure came out in October 2014 and it was the very first entry into the Yuji Sakai Modeling Collection. Newer collectors may wonder ‘what’s all the fuss about a closed mouth?’ A closed mouth is a treat when it comes to collecting X-Plus, as the overwhelming majority of Godzilla vinyls come in full roar.
