Titanic Creations Soul Wars Kaiju

Hooray for independent toymakers doing their own thing. Titanic Creations recently launched its Soul Wars series, a line of original kaiju creatures each with their own original backstory. For instance, Titanicus, who looks a bit like Godzilla with icebergs on his back. He first appeared in 1912 when he famously attacked the HMS Titanic. Experts in the kaiju sciences believe he was originally a superweapon created by the lost city of Atlantis.

Then there’s Nosferadon, an alien monster who fell to Earth as an egg and befriended a young Jewish boy named Wolf in 1930s Germany. When Wolf’s parents were taken by German soldiers, Wolf and Nosferadon set off together to try and find them.

I love these figures. They are nice and big, both six inches tall and 12 inches long. They aren’t very articulated, but they’re quite detailed. And they come in these lovely simple boxes that contain just a plastic insert and the toy itself.

There are two more figures launching in the line early next year, including Griffixis, a birdlike kaiju who is the alien enemy of Nosferadon, and Skureaus, described as “the ultimate weapon of ancient Egypt.” I’m gonna collect the whole set.
