Apologizing is considered an important part of Japanese culture, but it’s about more than just saying sorry. Showing remorse shows a person’s ability to reflect, be polite, and show respect to others. Combining the art of the apology with the Japanese love of kaiju (giant monsters in films), Gachapon World released a series of funny figurines depicting Japanese monsters humbly apologizing for the damage they’ve caused.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
The funny series was released in 2016 as part of a promotional campaign for the Shin-Godzilla movie. Each toy is comically posed with its head hanging low next to little podiums with microphones, as if at a press conference. A toy Godzilla publicly apologizes for his relentless destruction, a Mechagodzilla figurine owns up to copyright infringement, and the three-headed King Gidra show remorse for his devastating invasion.
The collectible toys are no longer available via their original markets, but you can buy them secondhand for a costly markup.
