That was awesome! The envy in me that he has not only seen the movie, but has that too! 🤯 What a sweet moment for you both. Also, he's an excellent unboxer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Indeed! The director of Minus One is a fan of the Legendary US Godzilla (especially the 2014 version), so he incorporated some of that into the design, but if you look carefully, you'll see that it's actually an amalgomation of a few different Godzilla designs, with some unique elements added on top :) Would love to do a side by side video comparison of them all soon!!
I haven't checked Mercari yet to see what they are selling for now... I did go back and try again to win more of the head magnets, I've got a full set of the ones from the last Godzilla Ichiban Kuji, but only ended up with Space Godzilla (one of my least favorite kaiju) this time. Oh well!! If you wait a few weeks, the magnet heads will start to show up in the junk bins at Surugaya & Book-Off for around ¥300 - so just be patient! :)
@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI For real ? 😯 Surugaya !? I thought it's a place people go to and buyused games and stuff, but it seems like they've been selling tons of figurines and other collectables now that you have mentioned it hahah I will definitely stop by the one in Shinjuku and see what they have in December 👍🏼Hopefully, you can pull Mecha Godzilla and King Ghidorah heads alongside the Last One Godzilla statue next time
yeah, only select shops have them and they only get 1-2 of the big items. once they are gone, they don't get more. each week or month they rotate the prizes with other non-related stuff, like Disney, Dragon Ball, etc
@TOKYOTOYBANZAI ahhh okay thanks. I dont live in Japan so I have to buy them for resellers on ebay 😔. So if they are limited I'm willing to pay extra for them because my guess the price is gonna jump later down the road.
When did they start this Gozilla Ichiban Kuji in japan? I noticed they also produce Shin godzilla, Godzilla 2014 etc. How many Godzilla versions are being released now? So if you have all the tickets from A to H, you can get the Last Prize for free?
You have to buy ALL remaining tickets to get the LAST ONE prize. My wife actually went back a couple days later and bought all the remaining ones, so we got the Last Prize too.
I put the price as a pop-up graphic in the bottom corner as he was drawing them out, but I guess I should have made the font bigger because a lot of people keep asking Haha ~ they are 900yen each. Actually, today my wife and daughter found one with only 20 or so remaining and bought the rest for his birthday, which includes getting the LAST ONE for free essentially (which sells for 25,000yen on its own now online
Shin Godzilla really boosted it's popularity in 2016, as it became the top grossing movie that year (until it was beaten by the anime "Your Name", which became the highest grossing Japanese film of all time) - and right now Minus One is the top grossing film in Japan. Godzilla's popularity has made a HUGE comeback here in Japan. The monsterverse films have also helped tremendously with young audienced here.
It’s a pvc statue from the Bandai-Namco Sofvics line. They don’t put SH Monsterarts into these lotteries. BUT, the SH version does come out in just over a week! Will definitely be grabbing it 😊
Congrats to your Son for pulling an "A" prize! When I get to Tokyo in Feb '24, I would like to play this game. But, how much does it cost per ticket pull? I have no idea how this works. Lol
Check the bottom corner of the screen when my son is pulling the ticket! I displayed the prices :) You just pay for how many tickets you want. Now they are all gone, but every month there are a few different ones. This year they have done Godzilla stuff twice.
@@BSGNUT I'm sure there will still be Godzilla Minus One merch all over the place, especially at the Godzilla Store in Shinjuku. But the Ichiban Kuji is already finished. They don't last long, especially the really popular ones. All the Minus One Ichiban Kuji stuff was gone within 48 hours.
