The new Ultimate #Godzilla 1989 figure from @super7store has been revealed, and HOLY COW, he’s not alone! 😱 🌹
MYSTERY SOLVED!
The artist is 怪獣一直線, and their work can be found on Pixiv. (More crazy examples below.)
HUGE thanks to @EditSutton for tracking down this super-talented artist and helping me give credit where credit is due!

I’m nominating @kaiju_ramen:
#Godzilla fans ate well this year.
From an explosive cinema-reaffirming blockbuster and a high-concept anime to a gorgeously directed theme park ride and a nostalgic tokusatsu-driven short film, 2021 was OWNED by the King of the Monsters.
There’s so much to be thankful for.
Happy 52nd anniversary to ALL MONSTERS ATTACK (A.K.A. GODZILLA'S REVENGE), released this day in 1969!
Although often dismissed as unsophisticated kid's fare, the film's examination of Japan's economic growth and its effects on children makes for a thoughtful entry in the series.
Happy 19th anniversary to Masaaki Tezuka's action-packed GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA, released this day in 2002.
An inspired story, great characters, and brilliant production values come together to create one of the Millennium era’s most beloved and memorable entries.
Useless fun fact: 67 years ago today, #Godzilla turned one day old.
Crazy, right?
Tonight’s Halloween viewing: FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD (1965)
Not much screams “Halloween” more than the name Frankenstein, & Toho’s contribution to the iconic monster’s cinematic legacy is one of my top favorite kaiju films. Plus, it’s got Baragon, which is always a plus!
Tonight’s Halloween viewing: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925)
One of my favorite films of all time, and still the finest version of “Phantom” ever committed to celluloid. Lushly photographed, beautifully performed, and genuinely terrifying. It’s purely and simply a masterpiece.
Tonight’s Halloween viewing: MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM (1933)
Talk about a creepy thriller! This brilliantly macabre masterwork – often confused with its 1953 remake – was one of the first color horror films, and delivers strong performances and hauntingly unsettling imagery.
