Very cool. Only had the U.S. Godzilla and Rodan as a kid. Never knew about the Japanese Version of the Godzilla. The face does look different on that one and more accurate than the one we got here. -
I love the Popy Godzilla so very very much. The Mattel version was cool for sentimental reasons, but we really got ripped.Comment

Very cool article, Brian.sigpicComment

I've got My original Mazinga and Godzilla - complete in great shape, and I've since replaced my Dragun, and Raydeen. Still need Gaiking. I'd get Rodan if I got a found a goog deal on him.
Much love for the Shoguns however I am partial to the American released ones."Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came."Comment

Love the Shoguns. A grail of mine is that Popy Godzilla. He was just on ebay this past week, but was missing the right fist and the left hand was cracked. He still went for over 200.00$
I found out about it's existence from watching that old (then new) HBO special Pee Wee Herman's playhouse, as Pee Wee had him sitting on a shelf on the stage set (I also think a giant size red king was next to him)"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hells Angels is currently unclear,"

Nice article, it's nice to see these guys get some more love, they are among my very favourite toy lines. I really want the Kamen Rider V3, but am having a hard time finding a nice condition one that isn't too expensive, even in Japan. And I don't get that because he had one of the highest production numbers, he shouldn't exactly be rare (although I can understand things like his scarf going missing).
There was one missing his fist about a month ago on ebay that didn't even break $150. I forgot to bid, and am really kicking myself.

wonder if it was the same one re-listed? He had a base value of $140 (or 149) he shot over 200 in the last 5 seconds. I also wonder if the mattel hand would fit the popy versionNice article, it's nice to see these guys get some more love, they are among my very favourite toy lines.

Looking forward to the Boba Fett machinder.
Would be ideal to find a minty Rodan.
Loved the packaging of these guys back in the day. Seeing the boxes stacked up on shelves at TRU was a site to behold.Comment

It's possible, I missed the most recent one. I still have the first auction saved, I'll see if it's the same. I was wondering if the Mattel hand fit too. The hand itself looks very similar, but I've never seen a picture of the "pin" on the Popy fist to see if it's the same. Most Jumbo missiles are compatible with the Mattel versions, so it's possible that the fists could be compatible too.Comment

This is also worth a look at. You'll be impressed.
