The new Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus One, takes inspiration from the original 1954 movie. However, it deviates from the original by excluding the method used to defeat the radioactive monster. In the original film, a scientist named Dr. Serizawa devised a plan to stop the Weapon of Mass Destruction by using another one. His Oxygen Destroyer bomb was deployed against Godzilla, turning the king of the kaiju into a skeleton.

Super7 has now immortalized this iconic moment with a 3.75-inch articulated figure of Godzilla’s skeleton. Packaged lying on its side at the bottom of the ocean, the figure includes an Oxygen Destroyer. You can remove it from the packaging, stand it up, and play with it alongside other figures of the same scale. Imagine it as Godzilla’s ghost, roaming the afterlife of kaijus. What would that look like?
Unlike the larger and pricier Godzilla Ultimates figures, which cost $85 each, this set is more affordable at just $25. It comes in a window box, making it a perfect diorama. Additionally, as a poseable skeleton, it can add a touch of Halloween flair to other settings, such as a cake decoration or a window display.
Super7 offers a somber reflection, stating, “Packaged in a diorama-style box that displays Godzilla’s de-fleshed carcass in a watery grave, the Skeleton Godzilla ReAction Figure serves as a sobering reminder of both humanity’s destructive capabilities and Godzilla’s ability to overcome even the most dire circumstances.” (Let’s not argue with them about whether subsequent movies featured a different Godzilla, thus implying that the original stayed dead. It’s not worth it.)
