Haha, nice! Great timing, I just recorded an episode for my podcast talking about Godzilla vs Mothra '92! Too cool!

I think the Battra Larva could be a Pokemon. Hell so could the Mothra Larva

[Ezilla82]

Both look awesome.

Translation time:

From the hit, Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992), comes Battra (Larva) and Mothra (Larva) in a set. For Mothra, each section is fully articulated to replicate the mobility functions of a real larva. It comes with a translucent "Thread Shot" effect. Battra also features fully articulated segments and is massive.

What the package comes with:

-Mothra (Larva) body
-Mothra (Larva) thread shot effect
-Mothra (Larva) Pedestal
-Battra (Larva) Body

Scale:

Mothra (Larva) is 6.6 inches in Length (170mm)
Battra (Larva) is 9.8 inches in length (250mm) and 7.1 inches in height (180mm)

So Battra is as long as Biollante's potential height.

I like that they maintained the big size difference in the two larvae. Battra is much larger than Mothra in the film at this stage.

Of course, a purist would need two Mothra larvae, to reinact the endings of G'64 and Tokyo SOS...

A purist wouldn't use a Heisei larva to represent the Showa larvae twins. Not sure on the Tokyo SOS twins.

You've got those backwards. Battra is approximately 9.8 inches tall, making it one of the tallest MonsterArts of the line. In comparison, Biollante's usual hunched pose is 7.5 inches, while Destoroyah and Ghidorah are about 9.8 to the tips of their heads. At least, according to the official page, "全高約250mm".

In either case, that's a lot of caterpillar.

Wow, that is big. That's going to be pretty decent then, pricewise, given how big it is and it still coming with a Mothra larvae (and effect part for it) as well.

True, but a little paint, and you'd be close enough for gummint work.

As far as the height of Battra, it might seem unusual, but having just watched the movie I can say that when Godzilla and Battra tangle on the ocean floor, they are about the same height. I am not sure if they are supposed to be on the same level or not, but the common image of the two shows them to be the same height.

That's one big bug.
