Great episode!
I still have the whole run of those Godzilla comics that I bought off the newsstand when I was a kid.
I also own those cartoons on DVD.

Still kicking myself for passing up a chance to finally own that Godzilla. My best friend had to clear his old toys out of his parents house, had them all sitting around in his dining room trying to figure out what to do with them. Asked me if I wanted any of them. I did, but at the time, I also had no where to put anything so I declined.
Could have had the Godzilla, as well as the Eagle 1 :(

If the Shogun Godzilla was only vintage toy to survive a nuclear holocaust I would say good choice.

A short lived local comic shop in my home town had him and Rodan displayed in their store.
Oddly enough I don't really care for the Popy version. It just looks off because I'm so familiar with the mattel Godzilla.

Great video! Surprisingly, I'm not a huge Godzilla fan. But I have a friend who is, and 20 years ago, I found a complete, fairly-minty Shogun Godzilla at an antique mall for $20. I gifted it to my friend, who I knew was always looking to replace his childhood one. I watched a grown man cry that day. It was touching, really.

It's a fantastic toy, for certain. That Rodan looks sweet too!

Great video. Always wanted the Mattel Godzilla as a kid. Some day, I'll track one down!

I still have my original Godzilla but he is in bad shape: missing hand, lever broke, broken toe nails

For some reason we never had the Shogun Warriors nor do I remember seeing them.
