To commemorate the 65th anniversary of the 1961 film Mothra, X-PLUS’s DefoReal series has released a special edition: “Mothra (Larva) (1961) 65th Anniversary Edition.” Produced by PLEX and distributed by X-PLUS, this figure condenses the larva’s plump, heavy body and its powerful crawling posture from the film into a palm-sized scale. It stands approximately 10 cm tall (including base) and measures approximately 16 cm in total length.
The centrepiece is the dedicated base. The base meticulously depicts the city streets, cars, and tank wreckage destroyed by the Mothra larva. Collectors can place the larva on the base to recreate the classic scene of Mothra invading Tokyo on their desktop. This 65th Anniversary Edition features adjusted paintwork to echo the visual style of the original full-colour film, further enhancing its appeal. The product reuses the mould from the “DefoReal Mothra (Larva) (1961)” released in 2024. It is made of PVC and suitable for collectors aged 15 and above.
Release Information: The suggested retail price is ￥12,000 (Ric-toy official website) / ￥13,200 (select channels). It is scheduled for release in November 2026 in Japan and January 2027 in North America, priced at $119.99 USD for the North American market. Purchase channels include X-Plus, Godzilla Store, and select retailers.
