The prices of these two statues are said to be a bit "expensive". The gold Godzilla statue has a listed price of 4.18 million yen (about 700 million VND), while the silver statue costs 550,000 yen (more than 92 million VND). In terms of craftsmanship, these statues are meticulously cast, from the head, back and tail as well as the spikes on Godzilla's back. The artisans use 3D technology to cast the statues and the statues are adjusted until they reach the final perfect shape.
The statue was cast to celebrate Godzilla's 70th birthday on Japanese screens, and to commemorate the recent Oscar win for Godzilla Minus One.
According to the website of the brand that created the two products, fans of the atomic-breathing monster living in EU countries, the UK, Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Norway cannot purchase the statues because the company does not ship to these places.
Godzilla Minus One has just conquered film awards around the world . The film received 8 awards (including Best Film) at the 47th Japan Academy Film Awards, 1 Oscar at the 96th Academy Awards, 2 awards from the Asian Film Awards. The film is set in post-World War II Japan, telling the story of the country's war against the monster Godzilla from the deep sea.
