With Christmas tomorrow many fans will have visions of kaiju dancing in there heads in hope that good old St. Nick will bring them some. And while there are a number of kaiju goodies that fans will get, X-Plus, S.H. MonsterArts figures among other things, there is one collectible that I personally wish we kaiju fans would have gotten, the completed Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Battlezone set. The set which was being produced by Far East Monsters Ltd., back in the late 2000's, was a statue series that was to include the battle scene from Destroy All Monsters where all the Toho monsters team-up to battle King Ghidorah, but unfortunately it never happened.
We did get Godzilla and King Ghidorah but never got the rest as Far East Monsters apparently went out of business. It would have been an awesome set each piece was designed to fit together to make one giant scene with lights and sounds for each piece.
There was a prototype for what was going to be the next piece Rodan and a Mothra larvae and a layout showing five more sections after that. But without any word the company disappeared along with hopes of a completed set. I hoped over the years someone would have finished this but no one has, to bad too because it would have been great. Godzilla stands about six inches tall (not counting the base), Ghidorah stands about eight inches tall with a fifteen inch wingspan, both are nicely detailed right on par with figures like S.H. MonsterArts. It could almost be possible to use those to "finish" the display, granted you would need to make bases and finish the Destroy All Monsters logo which parts of came with each section. Maybe hopefully Santa or someone else will give us the rest of this cool set, we can only hope.
