Japan is making a new Godzilla movie. It’s called Godzilla Resurgence and looks awesome. Recently, a collectible new Godzilla was unveiled in Japan, and damn, does its tail appear, ahem, not work safe.
We got glimpses of Godzilla’s tail last spring in a new trailer, and people were quick to notice.
Though Godzilla's tail in Resurgence is long probably the longest out of all the suits he better destroy buildings and jets with it

Godzilla's tiny arms and huge-ass tail infuriate me

that shot of godzilla's tail sweeping overhead though, holy shit. It's rare that everything comes together and makes a shot feel so REAL

Is that a giant marine animal (whale?) melted into #Godzilla's tail? pic.twitter.com/gZOOD40lBF

The character’s new collectible gives a good look at the tail, and uh… Below is an image from Nippon.com:
Oh my.
No wonder that on 2ch, Japan’s largest bulletin board, people have been comparing the tail to male genitalia.

庵野監督版「シン・ゴジラ」、
尻尾が想像以上にアレだ(;´Д`) pic.twitter.com/u6iA2bKdlA— LuckyShell(吉貝) (@kIcHiKaI) June 11, 2016
The tail that appeared in the most recent trailer seemed far more tasteful and slightly less penisy.
