Bandai has unveiled a new line of premium collectibles, all masterfully sculpted by Yuji Sakai. These figures are similar to their previous “Premium Bandai” line, which consisted of figures like Baragon (1965) and Frankenstein (1965). The very first figure in this new line is a Godzilla (1989) with a glowing spine effect.
