Those eagerly awaiting the 2023 release of Toho's newest Godzilla film likely have enough merchandise inspired by the King of the Monsters, but if they ever need more, Bandai Namco is definitely a good place to start. Their Premium Bandai online shop has been on a roll in recent years celebrating all things Godzilla, releasing awesome kaiju-themed merchandise including baby Mothra tissue cases and Shin Godzilla mop tops.

Their latest Godzilla-themed release is just as clever and just as practical (well, for kaiju lovers at least)--a giant letter opener designed to resemble the hooked Hammer-claw Hands of alien cyborg kaiju Gigan!

Godzilla fans will instantly recognize the hooked and bladed appendages the villainous Gigan uses to batter to and bloody opponents (usually to mixed results). Modeled after Gigan's appearance in the 2004 film Godzilla: Final Wars, the new "GODZILLA GIGAN (2004) Paper Knife" condenses Gigan's long sickle-shaped claws into a miniature (although still quite large at W46 x H120 x D8mm dimensions) letter opener to slice and dice your letters in style!

The letter opener even has a dull nickel plating finish to more closely resemble Gigan's bladed arms in the movie.

The Gigan blade letter openers are currently available for pre-order at Premium Bandai, with shipping scheduled in February 2023. Those overseas will want to check in on Premium Bandai's international website as well.
