X-Plus Toho Series Godzilla Fourth Form Ortho Ver. (Shin Godzilla 2016) Yuji Sakai Modeling Collection Vinyl Figure

The Yuji Sakai Modeling Collection, a series featuring soft vinyl models sculpted and produced by Sakai Yuji brings back “Godzilla (2016) 4th Form” in its Ortho version!

This figure is based on Sakai’s garage kit prototype, which was modeled after the Godzilla that appeared in the iconic overpass scene featured in the movie’s trailer and unveiled in 2017 and just so happens to be the Godzilla that Sakai believes to be the coolest.

This model has been painted completely in monochrome colors and will be released as the “Ortho Version,” to commemorate the release of the DVD and Blu-ray release of Shin Godzilla: Ortho, which was available only for a limited time in 2023. Under the supervision of Mr. Sakai, the various transparent parts in each section have had their insides painted to give the entire body its impressive glowing look.

The illustration for this “Godzilla (2016) Ortho Version” was created by Sakai himself who made the trip to Onarigaya in Kamakura City, the filming location for the scene in the movie, took photos from the very same angles as seen in the movie and composited them together with the model to create the illustration. 

Just as with the first release, the master mold for this version was also made using a cast prototype that has been converted to wax and all products are made from this master mold which helps minimize the wear that occurs during the soft vinyl creation process and allows for focus on reproducing the intricate details as much as possible.
