Who doesn’t love the 80s?

84Goji: Dr. P? NOT IN FRONT OF ME!

Nine years after the box office failure of 1975’s Terror of Mechagodzilla, Toho finally revived their dormant-but-actually-not-really franchise with their 1984 title; The Return of Godzilla (It ironically played a slight role in King of the Monsters in 3D’s cancellation). Even though it was still released within the political ‘Showa’ period of japan, this film marks the beginning of the Heisei era which follow only the original 1954 film by continuity, ignoring every other title after. This film was then released a year later in america as Godzilla 1985, the american version of the film does see some notable changes from it’s original analogue, most notably in Raymond Burr reprising his role as Steve Martin from the 1956 american version of the original film Godzilla, King of the Monsters!. If it wasn’t on the nose already, 84Goji gets the name from the year he made his grand entrance.

Changelog is as follows;
-More blueish-grey color scheme
-More lean build
-Detailed muzzle
-Detailed eyes
-Simplified thigh details
-Added knee muscle
-Remodeled fingers and nails
-Nigh-complete removal of polyfill nodes

You may have noticed that the Redux is actually smaller than the original figure. This is because I did not resize the reference material for the Heisei designs to match my prior Godzilla’s. Also the Heisei Godzilla’s usage of polyfill nodes were seriously lagging my devices, even on my new phone.
