TOYS Sci-Fi Revoltech Series No. 12 Mothra - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Update
«©NCSX» The twelfth SFX Revoltech toy pays homage to the most formidable member of the Lepidoptera order in recorded history - Mothra. It's pronounced "Maw-soo-rah" if you're Japanese. Toho Studios released the Mothra film in the summer of 1961 and movie-goers were treated to the theatrics of a vengeful oversized insect who went on a mission to rescue two little beauties from Infant Island. The tiny beauties were played by a pair of singers who called themselves "Peanuts." In a scene towards the close, Mothra's metamorphosis from cocoon to moth is completed at Tokyo Tower and it is there that she goes on a wing-flapping rampage.

The Revoltech toy rendition of Mothra as sculpted by Kinoshita Takashi features a 195mm (7.67") wingspan and 13 joints which allow for leg movement and wing adjustments. Revoltech Mothra's six legs can be maneuvered and manipulated independently of each other. A prop of Tokyo Tower is also included in the toy packaging so that film fans (with a lot of time on their hands) can recreate scenes from the Mothra movie or create new footage for the Youtube generation.


Preorders for the Revoltech Mothra toy are welcome to ship in September 2010 at JPY2800 or US$39.90.
