Review: S.H. Monsterarts Gigan 2004

Introduction:  In 1972, the Godzilla franchise saw the introduction of one of the Monster King's most bizarre and memorable foes: The space cyborg Gigan!  An abomination formed by combining mechanical parts with an organic creature, the one-eyed beast positively bristled with deadly blades and sported a deadly chest mounted buzzsaw.  Teaming up with popular franchise villain King Ghidorah, he fought in a memorable tag team battle against heroic monsters Godzilla and Anguirus (In 1972's Godzilla vs. Gigan).  The following year, Gigan returned to battle Godzilla and the robot Jet Jaguar alongside a new partner:  The insectile god of the Seatopians, Megalon (in 1973's Godzilla vs. Megalon)!  Gigan would appear once more to battle Tokusatsu hero Zone Fighter before vanishing for over three decades.

 

Despite being a popular monster, Gigan was to have a 31 year absence.  It wasn't until 2004, that Toho decided to bring Gigan back for their 50th anniversary Godzilla film, Godzilla:  Final Wars.  Millennium Gigan received a sleek new look and a brand new arsenal of weapons including a cluster beam, grappling hooks, and double bladed chainsaw hands!

 

Whether or not Millennium Gigan lived up to the Showa version's legacy is being debated to this day.  However, the design itself certainly struck a chord with some fans.  It was apparently popular enough that Bandai/Tamashii decided to produce a Gigan 2004 figure for their super articulated S.H. Monsterarts line.  So, how did it turn out? Read on and find out!!
