Toho producer Kazuyoshi Kishida said the King Ghidorah reference model was built from scratch for the film and shown at the Godzilla Expo: The World of Minus.
A reference model of King Ghidorah created for Godzilla Minus Zero was shown for the first time at the press preview of the Godzilla Expo: The World of Minus exhibition, according to cinematoday.jp. The preview was held at the Daimaru Tokyo store on November 5.
