BANDAI Godzilla Movie Monster Series BIOLLANTE Sofvi (Soft Vinyl figure)

Product Information

Biollante is a Godzilla, rose, and human tribrid created by Genichiro Shiragami. Shiragami originally created a human-and-rose hybrid in 1984 by splicing the DNA of his daughter, Erika Shiragami, who was killed in a Bio-Major-authorized bombing of his lab in Saradia, with that of a rosebush. Then, in 1989, Mount Mihara began to erupt, creating an earthquake that killed several roses, making Shiragami panic and splice the Godzilla DNA that had been collected in 1984 with a single rose so that it could become invincible. The fusion eventually led to the rose becoming sentient and able to move on its own, and it continued to evolve into a giant monster. In GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse, Biollante was destroyed when the underground combat vehicle Moguera destroyed an organ in her root cavity, described as a "heart." After this organ was destroyed, Biollante immediately crumbled into dust. Biollante is a Godzilla, rose, and human tribrid created by Genshiro Shiragami. Shiragami originally created a human-and-rose hybrid in 1984 by splicing the DNA of his daughter, Erika Shiragami, who was killed in a Bio-Major-authorized bombing of his lab in Saradia, with that of a rosebush, as roses had been Erika's favorite flower. It was later suggested that as a result of the fusion, the plant developed a level of sentience which could only be detected by those with psychic abilities, like Miki Saegusa.

In her second form, the Godzilla genes took over and Biollante's body became an abomination of biological science. Biollante's second form had a head similar to that of a Mosasaur or crocodile and a maw with knife-like teeth, even on the interior lining. In addition, six large tusks, three on each side, protruded from the fulcrum-region of her mouth. Large numbers of vines and tendrils were a primary feature of Biollante. Some vines ended in sharp, spear-like ends, while others sported small, sharp-toothed mouths. Also, Biollante had four stubby, root-like legs that she uses to move, as well as what appeared to be meaty flesh underneath the tangled mess of vines and plant tissue. The fleshy surface was yellow and red-orange and had many wrinkles and lines, resembling a brain-like surface. Biollante is not the tallest monster in the franchise either; the Heisei and Monsterverse incarnations of King Ghidorah, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Godzilla Earth, Keizer Ghidorah, Bagan, and the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla are all taller than her, while the final form of Destoroyah, SpaceGodzilla, the Heisei Mechagodzilla, MOGUERA, the Millennium Gigan and Monster X are all the same height as her. At the time of her debut though, Biollante's 120-meter Plant Beast Form was the tallest Toho monster, as well as the first to exceed 100 meters. Biollante is the world 4 boss in I Wanna Be The Boshy, a PC game known for being incredibly difficult. Biolante in her final form bears a striking resemblance to Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors as they both are monstrous, and scary looking plant monsters destroying cities.

Super7 Toho ULTIMATES! Wave 1 – Godzilla

Biollante's regenerative capacity is further showcased in the comic series Godzilla: Cataclysm, when she is incinerated and reduced to a small chunk of plant matter by Godzilla's atomic breath. This chunk begins rapidly regenerating and growing, developing into a core and sprouting numerous vines and roses. Even while just a small regenerating core, Biollante maintains her ability to use her vines in combat, shown when she restrains Destoroyah and allows Godzilla to defeat him. Biollante's regenerative capacity seems to extend to other nearby plants as well in this comic, as she restores plant life in the devastated remains of Tokyo once she successfully becomes planted into the ground again. In Godzilla: Unleashed, Biollante has the ability to submerge her entire body underground and tunnel around toward opponents.

In her final form, Biollante retains all previous abilities, though she does acquire an additional one, which is the ability to spit large quantities of radioactive corrosive sap from her large mouth (the radiation is clearly visible as orange energy spores within the sap stream). After Biollante's rose form was defeated, the vision of the second form that was seen made a cry not used when it returned later in the movie. Biollante is the only opponent Godzilla fights in the Heisei series who is unable to fly in her standard form.

Some of her tendrils in her final form resemble spears and are capable of piercing through Godzilla's flesh relatively easily, with one even impaling Godzilla's hand. Godzilla vs. Mecha-King Ghidorah (versions: regular; smooth wing Mecha-King Ghidorah; Toys'R'Us exclusive) King of the Monsters was the first main line of Trendmasters' classic Godzilla figures. They were released in 1994 in various retail stores. There were multiple releases of certain characters like Godzilla, Rodan, King Ghidorah, and Mothrain different size ranges. Scaling wise, Biollante comes up a bit short. I’d say she’s the worst when it comes to scale out of all of Trendmasters smaller figures. She stands smaller than the rest, so if you were hoping to have her munch on Godzilla’s head, it won’t happen here. Articulation

So Biollante stands at a solid three inches, give or take a hair. She’s pretty solid, sculpted out of a hard vinyl or rubber. The head, tendrils and feet are softer and squishy. So if you apply just a lil force, you can make the jaws close with your fingers. Sculpt detail is pretty good here with plenty of bumps and ridges through her entire body. Even the inside of her mouth has teeth that while unpainted can be felt.

What are your thoughts on the Toho ULTIMATES! Wave 1 figures from Super7? Are these a must-have for your collection? Also, what other figures would you like to see added to this lineup? That Hashtag Show wants to hear from you! Biollante shares many similarities with SpaceGodzilla, suggesting that she is more likely responsible for SpaceGodzilla's creation than Mothra. These similarities include tusks on the sides of her mouth, membranes on the inside of her mouth, rows of sharp teeth inside of her mouth, a screeching roar, and the ability to break apart into energy spores after being mortally wounded. Kobayashi combined the word violon, the French word for "violin," from this passage with the katakana character テ ( te), as he noted that no other kaiju used this character in their names. Kobayashi later stated that it was a complete coincidence that Biollante's name seemed to imply biotechnology. [6]
