After sweeping the Taiwan collection circle with the classic red lotus Godzilla look from “Godzilla 1995” earlier this year, coincides with the 70th anniversary of the birth of the monster movie Godzilla, Xinyi Creative once again obtained the genuine authorization from Toho this month. Combining Taiwan’s local sorghum wine, the latest authorized wine “Godzilla Series Styled Commemorative Wine – Authentic Godzilla (2016)” is launched, allowing Taiwanese wine fans to continue to experience the charm of Gojira!
The real Godzilla is known as the Godzilla closest to a “god”, and is also one of the strongest physical Godzillas in the eyes of God fans. Director Hideaki Anno used the concept of “complete creature” to break away from the traditional leather case for the first time and used full CG to create Godzilla’s four stages of transformation.
From an unknown creature from the sea, it has undergone intense and complex mutations and evolved into a giant monster. Its evil appearance and the remaining cracks in the gill tissue in its throat are even more distinctive. The play’s realistic shooting style, which is like a disaster movie, and the “Congress General Speech Light” that is famous among fans also make this work not only cruel but also full of irony.
After receiving the physical version, readers who are familiar with Godzilla will definitely recognize that this outer box is the classic combination and image of the “Real Godzilla” poster from that year. The dark skin color of the authentic Godzilla is in perfect contrast with the poster with white characters on a red background. The only small eye makes people feel the weird atmosphere of this work that is completely different from the traditional Godzilla.
Carefully take out the heavy sculptural wine bottle and the authentic Godzilla commemorative wine brought by Xin Yi this time from the box, completely restoring the wildly evolved appearance. As soon as you open the box, you can see his groove-shaped chest that remains due to incomplete evolution. The two sharp but inorganic small eyes are also the characteristics of the authentic Godzilla. Of course, the row of sharp and slightly barbed teeth, which look more like a creature, are not to be missed.
If you look at it from the side, you can see the cracks in the gill tissue of the authentic Godzilla after his evolution, which also caused him to bleed, evolve and crack repeatedly for up to half of the scene, and the texture of the wrinkled flesh and blood is more realistic. The faint dark red color emerging under the flesh membrane with the characteristics of volcanic rock can make people feel the pressure full of energy and heat in the movie. It reminds me of the time I was in the movie theater and applauded when I saw the real Godzilla’s mouth and tail and shot two rays, destroying Tokyo in one fell swoop.
Compared to the legendary Godzilla and the Red Lotus Godzilla, the authentic Godzilla’s irregular jagged back is also unique in the past. You can see the porous structure in the movie that is somewhat similar to an echinoderm, and the dark red color that seems to be carrying steam, which is reminiscent of the scene in the movie where the self-defense forces are wiped out by radiation emitted from the luminous back. After all, who doesn’t like light skills that can perform AOE?
The base continues the characteristics of the previous licensed wine. It can not only hold up to 1 liter of Kinmen Royal 56° three-year-old high quality, but is made of a pure black ceramic wine bottle, with “GODZILLA” imitating the classic Godzilla poster font. Just seeing the red font, the cry of Godzilla automatically sounded in my head!
The authentic Godzilla from the original work is said to be 118 meters tall, making him the largest Godzilla in the entire series (ten meters taller than the legendary Godzilla). Of course, this modeling drink must also show the corresponding sense of oppression. Even the bottle body has a majestic shape with a total length of 20cm x width of 30cm x height of 33cm. It looks domineering wherever it is placed.
Whether it is placed on a bookshelf or on a side table with magazines, it is difficult to conceal the overwhelming power of the King of Monsters. Look at this picture of authentic Godzillas, big and small, standing in line. As a fan of authentic Godzillas, how can you say no?
Finally, we took a photo with the “1995 Red Lotus Model” launched in April. Although the authentic Godzilla does not have the overflowing sense of murderousness of Red Lotus Godzilla, it exudes a silent domineering attitude just like the slowly advancing figure in the movie, disdainful of human attacks.
It can also be seen from the body shape alone that the two have indeed made quite obvious differences. The shape of the authentic Godzilla is obviously slimmer than Guren, who is more traditional Godzilla, and retains the first and second forms. It has a slender feel similar to that of a moray eel. If there is still a chance to cooperate with Toho, I also hope that Xin Yi can challenge and watch Godzilla works with a unique style such as “Godzilla-1.0” or “Godzilla Singularity”!
“Godzilla Series Shaped Commemorative Wine – Authentic Godzilla (2016)” is a global limited pre-order product priced at NT$12,800. The first batch of spot products will be released and shipped across Taiwan at 12 noon on October 8th. Once sold out, full pre-order will be available. Monster fans who want to take an authentic Godzilla home for their collection can avoid disappointment by following the official website of Xinyi Cultural and Creative Industries or major wine specialty channels.
