Spiral Studio's Burning Godzilla Statue - Deluxe Edition

The weather in the DMV (DC, MD, and VA) swings like a pendulum. Bright and sunny one hour, and the next, we're hit with rain followed by more swings in weather. This was a pain to shoot as it started drizzling when we assembled him. We, and I say we because this isn't a one-person setup, tried the following evening again to get some shots in as the sun went down. I got some great photos with the light-up features on full display (hoping they all worked without issue) and with the help of a 100 ft extension cord. Eventually, I got all the images I needed. The pictures speak for themselves.

My only drawback with this release is that the largest of the two boxes was too tight of a fit for the styrofoam casing. No matter what, we could only remove the statue by cutting the box open, which never happens, but it did this time. I was disappointed, considering their Spiral King Ghidorah DX was packaged immaculately with zero issues removing and repackaging him afterward. I don't know if that was just an isolated incident with me or if this has happened to other collectors.

That aside, the Burning DX is beautiful and a highlight of 2023, collecting-wise. We're only in May, but this has taken the lead in my Kaiju Collectable of the Year.

Props to Awesome Collector and Kaiju Live for bringing this titan home!

Arg-e Bam (ارگ بم), Bam, Kerman province, southeastern Iran.

Bam Citadel was most likely the largest adobe structure in the world, made from non-baked mud brick. The area of ​the citadel is approximately 180,000 m², and is bounded by walls 6-7 meters high and 1815 meters long.

The whole complex can be traced back to at least the Achaemenid Empire (6th-4th centuries BC). The citadel rose to importance from the 7th-11th centuries AD, as a crossroads along the Silk Road and other important trade routes, and as a producer of silk and cotton garments.
