Three new Godzilla toys have revealed our clearest looks yet at the new designs for Mothra, Rodan and King Ghedorah!

While the Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer gave us our first proper look at Godzilla, it still teased us with quick shots of some other monsters.

Thanks to a preview of the upcoming S.H. MonsterArts line from the Tokyo Comic-Con, we have a much better idea of how Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah will look in all their monstrous glory when the monster-brawl hits screens next year.

The images, appearing over at Dread Central, show the three-headed dragon, King Ghidorah, which looks fairly loyal to the Godzilla source material, but we can clearly see the face being influenced by Asian culture, which makes it more dragon-like than ever.

It's also worth noting it's truly massive size, which we've already been teased with in a poster showing it out-muscling Godzilla.

We also can see the pteranodon, Rodan, which has been influenced by the volcanic landscape it appears to be hibernating in in the film. Although its facial features are obscured, its tough, crusty exterior and gigantic wing-span are very visible.

While we don't have a totally clear look at Mothra's face, it's distinctive red, yellow and black butterfly-esque wings make this one of the cutest versions of the character ever.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Godzilla toy set without the mammoth titular character himself, as we see him poised, roaring and ready for action against all comers who want to take his throne in 2019.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is directed by Michael Dougherty and stars Vera Farmiga, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch, Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds, and Zhang Ziyi. It is scheduled to open in theaters on May 31, 2019.
