Over the last few months, I’ve collected pieces of film and pieces of history. Now, I’ve found a piece of Godzilla. The Japanese toy manufacturer M1-GO (M1-号) and music store HMV (HMVジャパン株式会社, HMV Japan Co., Ltd) released a limited replica claw of Godzilla (M1号 原型 若狭新一 ゴジラの爪) for those who pre-ordered the DVD of Godzilla: Tokyo SOS (ゴジラ×モスラ×メカゴジラ 東京SOS, 2003) as part of a 2004 campaign. The replica of the nail was based on the prototype of Monster Maker Shinichi Wakasa, who worked on the modeling for the movie. M1 was in charge of production.
