A recent trailer for Godzilla: Monster Planet provided a brief glimpse of the kaiju king but a 6 ft tall statue in a Japanese retail store provides our best look yet at a geriatric version of the beloved kaiju [via Kotaku]. It's likely the film will show two different versions of the giant monster as he'll first appear just before the planet's surviving humans flee the kaiju-ravaged planet and he'll surprisingly be there when they return 20,000 years later after a mishap with a black hole.

You have to admit, Godzilla's looking pretty good for a guy that's been around for 200 centuries. What do you think of this new interpreation of Godzilla, in comparison to the Western version last seen in Legendary Pictures' Godzilla (2014) and the most recent version seen in Japan's Shin-Godzilla?

OFFICIAL GODZILLA: MONSTER PLANET SYNOPSIS
It's the last summer of the 20th century. On that day, the human race realized that they were not true rulers of Earth.

The emergence of gigantic monsters "kaiju" and the ultimate existence that can even destroy other kaijus, Godzilla. After half-century of the war against the kaijus, the human race decided to leave the planet afer suffering numerous defeats. In the year 2048, only people who were chosen by an artificial intelligence under the control of the central government were allowed to board an interstellar immigration ark titled, Aratrum. Their destination? The Cetus galaxy and the planet, "Planet Tau-e" which was 11.9 light years away. Ultimately, the 20 year jouney to Tau-e proved fruitless as atmospheric conditions were not capable of sustaining human life. With supplies dwindling, the Aratrum's only option is to return to Earth and attempt to reclaim the planet.

A young man named Haruo is on board of the immigrant ship. His parents were killed by Godzilla right front of him when he was 4, since then, he has been thinking about only going back to the earth and killing Godzilla for 20 years. Haruo is eager to fight Godzilla and joins the "Return to the Earth" group in hopes of fighting the kaiju king. However, with supplies dwindling, the Aratrum can no longer afford another 20 year journey and a risky, long distance hyperspace jump is plotted.

The Aratrum survives the jump but instead of shaving time off their 20 year journey, the inhabitatns of the Aratrum learn that 20,000 years have already passed when they finally arrive back on Earth. A completely new ecosystem has formed on the planet but it seems Godzilla still sits at the top. Can the human race take the Earth back, and what will be the fate of Haruo be...?
