DANDADAN - POP Animation N° 2631 - Kaiju with Chase

Collect the Kaiju from *Dandadan* with this Funko POP! Animation No. 2631 figurine. Inspired by the imposing creature faced by Momo, Okarun and their allies, this version captures its monstrous appearance in the distinctive POP! figurine style, with a compact silhouette, an oversized head and the intricate details of its exoskeleton.

Standing approximately 9.9 cm tall, the standard version depicts the Kaiju in light tones combined with blue-green markings, complete with its claws, long tail and broad, toothy grin. Its posture, with arms slightly outstretched forwards, captures the creature’s massive presence despite the figure’s small size.

This item is available with the possibility of a Chase variant. Funko states there is a one-in-six chance of receiving the translucent Chase version instead of the standard version. Only one figure is supplied and the model received is allocated at random: receiving the Chase variant is therefore not guaranteed.

Origin and backstory of the creature (Lore)

The Kaiju appears in Dandadan during a story arc in which extraterrestrial phenomena take on a particularly spectacular scale. The creature emerges as a gigantic adversary that Momo, Okarun and their allies cannot easily neutralise with their usual abilities.

To face an enemy of this magnitude, Okarun considers using nanoskin, the extraterrestrial technology that was notably used to rebuild Momo’s house. Kinta Sakata then draws on his imagination and passion for science fiction to transform this material into a gigantic robot capable of fighting the Kaiju on equal terms.

The clash thus takes the form of a full-blown duel between a giant monster and a robot, deliberately drawing on the conventions of Japanese kaiju films and mecha series.

After the creature’s defeat, however, the protagonists discover that the Kaiju is not simply a gigantic animal. It is in fact a technological suit worn by a young alien named Vamola.

Vamola belongs to a Sumerian alien civilisation and arrives on Earth after fleeing her home world. Her imposing Kaiju suit therefore serves as protection, a weapon and one of the character’s key technological features.

This POP! Animation No. 2631 depicts precisely this monstrous appearance, as it is seen before the identity of the person inside the suit is revealed.
