Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was released in 2024. This time, it thrusts Kong and Godzilla into a colossal confrontation with an unknown menace lurking within our world. Exploring deeper into origins of Titans.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of quality, refining every detail to elevate both playability and display experience. This brand new Heat Ray Godzilla Evolved Ver. action figure builds with multiple enhancements, including refined proportions and an optimized silhouette, ensuring better compatibility when displayed alongside figures from the same series.

One of the most notable improvements is the adjustment of body proportions, resulting in a more balanced and imposing silhouette. The neck joint has been upgraded to a double-joint structure, offering a wider range of motion and more expressive head poses. The dorsal fins have been thickened and redesigned with sharper, more intricate textures, creating greater realism. In addition, the tail has been upgrated with a multi-joint structure, allowing for smoother, more natural motion—capturing the dynamic flow of Godzilla’s iconic movements.

When illuminated from behind, layered paint applications over a translucent body can replicate the glowing pink energy state in Godzilla’s dorsal fins. Additionally, the figure comes with 1x interchangeable head, 2x hand parts and 1x special pink Heat Ray effect to perfectly recreate Godzilla’s iconic battle scene from the film.

This latest entry in the Monsterverse franchise follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own. The epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins, and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.

Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire stars Rebecca Hall (The Night House), Brian Tyree Henry (Bullet Train), Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast), Kaylee Hottle (Godzilla vs. Kong), Alex Ferns (Chernobyl) and Fala Chen (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).
