Nakajima Godzilla
Haruo Nakajima was the suit actor inside Godzilla during the first few films in the series. Each time he donned the Godzilla suit he lost pounds of sweat. This tribute to Nakajima is from Japan and brought to the US by Monsters in Motion. This massive 1/6th scale all-resin figure weighs a whopping 9 pounds and is composed of 42 pieces. Each of the 27 spine plates was glued in place one at a time. The Japanese words for Gojira and Godzilla were drawn onto Haruo’s headband. Included with the piece is a small statue of the Academy Award Oscar which is mounted on a small wood stand. Godzilla finally got an Oscar! All paints are acrylics.
