# Man-Sized 3D Monsters This Godzilla Sculpture from Bandai is Said to Be the World's Largest By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-11-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-sculpture References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/10/bandai-life-sized-godzilla-model) & [p-bandai.jp](http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/) [Bandai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-bandai), a company that manufactures high-end action figures and toys, recently completed a Godzilla sculpture using 3D printing technology. Reportedly drawing from the 1991 version of the monstrous Japanese character, Bandai's figure is as tall as a human, however with much broader dimensions. Due to this, its Godzilla sculpture is said to be the world's largest -- towering above other models while maintaining an intricate level of detail. This comes from the company's use of an incredibly precise [3D printer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2s), which enables it to capture the texture of each scale that decorates the iconic dinosaur's skin. Those interested in purchasing the Godzilla sculpture can take part in Bandai's raffle, where it will be sold for $43,000 USD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3D Printing Sculptures:** The use of precision 3D printers can revolutionize the production of high-end sculptures and collectibles. - **Giant 3D Figures:** The creation of life-sized or larger-than-life 3D printed figures and sculptures opens up new possibilities for immersive experiences in entertainment and tourism. - **Interactive 3D Models:** The combination of 3D printing with augmented or virtual reality technology can create engaging and educational experiences for museums, exhibitions, and events. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** High-end toy companies can leverage 3D printing to create intricate and customized models, while also tapping into the growing market for high-end collectibles. - **Entertainment and Theme Parks:** Theme parks and entertainment companies can utilize 3D printing to create giant and interactive figures for immersive experiences, as well as merchandise for fans. - **Museums and Exhibitions:** Museums and exhibitions can enhance their displays with 3D printed interactive models, offering a new level of engagement and education to visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime Robot Replica Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/59foottall-gundam.md) - [Film Anniversary Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-popcorn-bucket.md) - [3D-Printed Matcha Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-matcha-monsters.md) - [Anime-Inspired Huggable Plushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-bandai-1.md) - [Cartoon-Focused Toy Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zord-ascension-project.md) - [Cinematic Monster Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citizen-godzilla-x-promaster-diving-watch.md) - [Sci-Fi Nostalgic Dragon Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ground-dragon.md) - [Miniature Japanese Superhero Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraman-figure.md) - [Beastly QSR Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-burgers.md)
