However, the most notable aspect of the figure is itsatomic breath-readystance, with its back spikes depicted in an eye-catching translucent blue that will serve as a standout piece on any collector’s shelf. And it looks like Godzilla isn’t messing around as the figure features a terrifying face sculpt that highlights his glowing eyes and mouth.
