In 2001, this toy line features reissues of 10 of the figures from the previous line, Toho Kaiju series, the figures were given a new vinyl color, different paint highlights (if not most giving resemblance to their film counterpart), and even a larger size difference when compared the Toho Kaiju toy line. 12.3 Godzilla: King of the Monsters line.11.7 King Ghidorah ( AniGoji continuity).11.3 Godzilla Earth (Thermal Radiation Ver.).11.2 Mechagodzilla (Heavily Armed Type).10.1 Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters line.1.2 Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla line.1.1 Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack line.This movie seems to be made on slightly bigger budget than usual and effects are better. I had some loathing about Toho's poor selection of talents, and sometimes cheezy special effects until I heard they make these movies for under $10 million, and I had renewed respect for Japanese efficiency (average Hollywood picture costs $64 million). Mothra and Minilla (Son of Godzilla) makes appearances as well. Godzilla fights the following monsters: "Gigan (1)", "American Godzilla (Called here Zilla)", "Kumonga", "Kamacuras", "Anguilas", "Rodan", "King Caesar", "Hedorah", "Ebirah", "Monster X", "Gigan (2)" and "King Gidorah". Wardrobe is unbelievably bad, and the plot - well, there's really no plot to speak of. On the minor note, music by Keith Emerson is terrible, and acting is as soul less as the actors themselves. CGI special effects are also more realistic on this movie than say the '90s Mothra franchise. The old faces like Akira Takarada (Gojira '54), Kenji Sahara (Rodan), Kumi Mizuno (Matango) shows up to say fare well to the franchise that lasted 50 years. Being the 50th anniversary Godzilla movie, this movie doesn't skimp on nostalgia. Out of all Godzilla movies made in the 21st century, which was on again off again at best, this one in my opinion is the best. Gotengo goes on a mission to wake Godzilla up and confront all the monsters under the influence of Planet X leader and destroy their mother ship. Earth's last chance to save itself is the core Earth Defence Force team on Gotengo (Atragon), and Godzilla who's kept in hibernation. Ozaki (Masahiro Matsuoka) is one of them, and like Neo in Matrix, he's the only mutant who's powerful enough to beat the Planet X invasion force leader (Kazuki Kitamura). They all have the same "M" gene that people from planet X has. Earth has seen birth of mutants which have special powers. They are secretly out to destroy civilization and transform earth people into human cattle. But of course this is all just a show to win favors from the earthlings. They also remove monsters that are on rampage in several cities around the world. An alien from Planet X comes to earth pretending to warn earth people about the danger of planetoid Golath which will be impacting earth in 11000 hrs. Monster Zero", "Independence Day", and "Matrix" rolled into one. The story of "Godzilla Final Wars" is like "Godzilla Vs.
