Egg Monsters Godzilla, known as Godzilla-E.G. (ゴジラエッグ,   Gojira Eggu, lit. "Godzilla Egg") in Japan, is a line of Godzilla toys manufactured by Bandai and released in 2014. The gimmick of each toy is their ability to transform between an egg-shaped form, called E.G. Mode (E.G. (エッグ)モード,   Eggu Mōdo, lit. "Egg Mode"), and a monster form, called A.T. Mode (A.T. (アタック)モード,   Atakku Mōdo, lit. "Attack Mode"). A decade later, in 2024, the figures began to be re-released in Japan, as well as released for the first time in the United States by Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America.

Figures

Wave 1

The first wave of figures was released on March 21, 2014, and included Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, Gigan, and Mechagodzilla.[1][2] Mothra uniquely splits into two figures, a larva and an imago.

Wave 2

The second wave was released on July 12, 2014, and consisted of Godzilla 2014 and a MUTO, both from Legendary Pictures' Godzilla, which had yet to premiere in Japan.[2]

Waves 3 and 4

Two more figures would be released in late 2014: Burning Godzilla on October 25 and Destoroyah on December 13.[2] The Burning Godzilla is a repaint of the earlier Godzilla figure, with a translucent orange tail.

Waves 5 and 6

The Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and King Ghidorah figures were re-released on August 3, 2024. The Mothra and Burning Godzilla will also be re-released on November 2. All of their prices were increased to ¥1,430 (from ¥1,100).[2]

U.S. releases

Around the same time as the fifth wave's release in Japan, its three figures were released in the United States for $12.99 apiece. Mothra from the sixth wave will be released on November 19.[3]

Trivia

  • The Godzilla 2014 and MUTO toys appeared in Bandai America's Toy Fair 2015 display, rebranded as "Hatch-n-Heroes," though they were never released.
