'Godzilla Island' is now available in the U.S. for the first time.
That rumble you just felt was countless kaiju fans across the country roaring with approval: Toho, the creators and custodians of the King of the Monsters himself, Godzilla, are officially releasing the series Godzilla Island in the United States for the first time.
Set in 2097, Godzilla Island takes place at the titular retreat, where, according to an official synopsis, "Monsters live and frolic... under the watchful eye of G-Guard, a human peacekeeping force." Alas, the kaiju's utopian sanctuary is threatened when an enormous UFO arrives on Earth, attacks an unspecified city, and then starts making it way towards Godzilla Island.
To call Godzilla Island "campy" would be something of an understatement. The special effects, such as they are, make the franchise's infamous use of performers in rubber suits stomping upon miniature models of Tokyo look state-of-the-art by comparison. To wit: Godzilla and his cadre of fellow kaiju appear to be portrayed by mostly-immobile action figures, not dissimilar to the doll recently announced by Mezco Toys.
