Here's a few questions from the interview:

How many Godzilla universe S.H.MonsterArts are planned in a year? Is it a set number or does it vary depending on what’s on the workbench?

Hannah: It’s not a set number. It can be anywhere between 2-3 characters. We don’t want to oversaturate the market with too many figures of the same line. We also consider the popularity of certain characters as well as the timing.

It seems that more and more Godzilla monsters are being released as a Web Exclusive vs. a regular release. What’s the reasoning behind this?

Hannah: It has more to do with the Japanese market. [Through Bluefin Distribution] web exclusives are regular releases for North America. It definitely has to do with the domestic Japanese market popularity than it does with the North American popularity.

What was the decision behind releasing Godzilla (2014) as the 60^th Anniversary piece instead of Godzilla (1954)?

 Xavier: Tamashii Nations has a really broad schedule for their releases. I can’t really comment on their decision, but Godzilla (2014), the movie itself, was a 60^th Anniversary feature, so it does makes sense for the Godzilla (2014) figure to also be a part of that celebration.
