I'm sticking with the Black Mechagodzilla theme — this 9" different 'heavily armored' version was a Godzilla Store exclusive in 2023, and different enough from the 2003 theater exclusive that I needed to pick it up as well.
I don't know why I respond to this 'Kiryu' version so much more than the prior Mechagodzilla variants; perhaps it's a combination of the angular face, yellow eyes, and more pronounced fin on the top of his head.
And as cool as he looks in his natural silver, I think he looks even cooler in black!
Check back next week for another item from my Godzilla collection!
