Mechagodzilla

Mechagodzilla coverage in this period is almost entirely about merchandise. Five stories, all from mid-2026 onward, describe model kits and action figures based on the robot monster's appearances across the Godzilla series rather than any new film or series. The one announced most recently is Kaiyodo's ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS plastic model kit, sculpted by Taro Murai and based on Mechagodzilla's attack on Yokosuka in the 1975 film Terror of Mechagodzilla. It ships with a diorama base of destroyed buildings and rubble and is set for January 2027 at 9,900 yen.

Two of the announcements come from the Heisei and Millennium eras of the character. Good Smile Company's MODEROID line is releasing a Super Mechagodzilla model from the 1991 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, with Mechagodzilla and Garuda units that combine, for March 2027 at 11,000 yen. Bandai Spirits announced S.H.MonsterArts figures of Godzilla (2003) and Type-3 Kiryu from the 2003 film Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla: Tokyo SOS; the Type-3 Kiryu swaps between Heavy Armed and High Mobility types and carries die-cast parts.

Older designs are also being worked over. Bandai Spirits is reissuing the Chogokin Tamashii Mix Mechagodzilla (Noriyoshi Ohrai Poster Ver.) with a color change from subdued silver to bluish glossy silver, alongside an S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla figure based on Noriyoshi Ohrai's poster coloring. Aoshima is re-releasing its ACKS MFS-3 Kiryu model, supervised by designer Shinji Nishikawa, with a planned October 2026 release. The run is scattered across makers and price points, and the common thread is the same: Mechagodzilla as a kit subject, sold with the weapons, hands, and base parts that fill out its onscreen configurations.
