The next entry of Legendary Pictures’ “Monster-Verse” is set to arrive at the end of this month, and it seems as if Godzilla and Kong won’t be alone in their war as Mechagodzilla has seemingly been confirmed via a toy reveal. The mechanical doppelganger to the lizard king has a long history in the universe of kaiju, and while his origin has changed, he remains one of the most recognizable giant monsters of the bunch. Needless to say, his inclusion will be a major one.

As you can see below, the toy was revealed by Smyths Toys with a UK price tag. A short blurb says the manmade monster was created to end the reign of kaijus and was made in secret. As for the monster itself, Mechagodzilla looks totally terrifying with its sleek metal design, and its red dorsal fins make the beast more foreboding than ever before.
Godzilla vs Kong is slated to debut in the United States on March 31. The film will be available both in theaters and on HBO Max for a limited time. You can check out its official synopsis below:

But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans–instigated by unseen forces–is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.”
