With its rippled skin and massive dorsal fins, the statue is a faithful reproduction of the most recent incarnation of the King of Monsters, as seen in this year’s “Shin Godzilla,” and even though it is a massive structure, it is dwarfed by the real thing, as the current version of Godzilla rises to a staggering height of 150 meters (492 feet).

The original 1954 Godzilla, while no slouch, is miniscule compared to its rebooted counterpart, standing a mere 50 meters (or 164 feet). To give you a sense of scale, the Chrysler Building in New York City is 319  meters (1,050 ft) tall, while the Empire State building stands at 443 meters (1,450 ft).
