MechaGodzilla is back, just in time to bring terror and destruction to children everywhere this Christmas. Bandai has created an impressive 1/100 scale replica of the famous Japanese robot that took on Godzilla in the 1974 movie Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla. As we all know, MechaGodzilla is made from indestructible space titanium alloy and equipped with a powerful laser that fires from the mouth of a head that can rotate 360 degrees. The robot's fingers and toes are deadly missiles and hidden in the chest is the Maser weapon. Bandai's replica is impressive in size and detail and includes most of the features of the full size MechaGodzilla, though in less deadly form. The robot toy is 500mm tall (20 inches), radio controlled, and even uses all the original sound effects. At just over $800 USD, it's a bit pricey but looks very cool. You can buy one in Japan now. Imports are already turning up on eBay for as much as $1200 USD for those who can't wait until December. Thanks to Lem at Robot-Dreams.com for spotting this one.
