Goodzila’s Noger Chen has collaborated with Japanese wood artist Kenzi Murabayashi, Taiwan-based 1982kids and Black Seed to create a fun twist on the popular Nozilla figure. For the 2.5D Nozilla vinyl art toy, Murabayashi created a wood carving of Goodzila’s signature Childhood Kaiju character in his signature 2.5D aesthetic with a chunky, blocky style. The humorous, everyday Kaiju vibe of the character comes through with the now familiar red cap and blue/white tee, shorts and sneakers. The vinyl figure is based on a 3D scan of Murabayashi’s original wood sculpture.
The 1982kids Exclusive 2.5D Nozilla vinyl art toy is available for pre-order from 1982kids (through 1.31) for NT2000 within Taiwan and NT2150 (~$67 + shipping via SF Express) for overseas collectors (PayPal only). The figure is expected to ship in May of 2023.
