In 2015, Funko included Godzilla in the second wave of its Sci-Fi Mystery Minis, with a 1/24 rarity.[4] A three-pack of Godzilla figures followed in 2018. Each set contains a green-gray Godzilla and an orange Burning Godzilla, with the third figure either Godzilla 1954 or a Burning Godzilla who more closely resembles the character's appearance in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.

Board games

Godzilla: Tokyo Clash

Funko revealed a board game based on the Godzilla franchise at New York Toy Fair 2020. The game includes pieces based on Godzilla, Mothra, Megalon, and King Ghidorah. It was released in June.

Trivia

  • On the box art for every Godzilla Pop! figure (exclusive color variations included), Godzilla's Template:Scutes are shown to extend into his forehead area. However, this detail is missing from the actual figures, with the plates in actuality stopping near the top of the head.
