Japanese Godzilla Jumbo Machinder

[samurainoir]

Is this the Japanese version of the Shogun Warriors Godzilla? I didn't realize it was so different. Were there similar differences between the Rodan Jumbo as well?

mmmmm popy

Yes, they are a different beast altogether.

The Rodan was only released stateside, which is an odd twist for this type of property. One of the reasons they usually fetch good monies. There is a lot of collector demand for Rodan globally but only one region for a source.

Remember getting these as a kid! Still have them! Loved getting these and the Shogun warriors back then!

The prices for the jumbo machinder Godzilla listed on ebay are (as with most) usually out of wack. If he comes near mint with his box you can sell it for a grand (and more than likely get it). If he is complete, decent shape but no box, most have gone for no more than $300

agreed ^^

Time to start browsing yahoo auctions Japan methinks.

Looks like a reissue would be a big hit.

The same design was re-issued though I am not sure if the scale was the same? I saw it a few times on Ebay, but forgot what title it went under (generic search for Godzilla popy or godzilla marmit might bring it up). Came in a bag with header card

if that condition Rodan goes higher than $100 I would be very surprised

Boxed ones I have seen roughly go for $200-500

Loose (and condition depending) I have seen roughly $86-$150

In the case of Rodan it depends on the bidder because Rodan in the US was rare in general, more so if you get a bidder from Japan, the price could go pretty high

I want both the Popy Godzilla Jumbosaurus and Mattel Rodan so bad it hurts!

Dude, you were hanging out right beside a sweet boxed one all day a few months ago! You should have bought it. I was so close to begging my wife to let me splurge for it myself.

That's one US toy that gets a lot of competition from Japanese collectors. There has never been a Rodan toy released in Japan that was even close to the size of the Mattel one.

How much was it?

If that was Palitoys, I think he offered it here for about 4 bills.

Yep it was his. I think it was around that price. The evil guy was trying to tempt me with a discount too. I almost buckled. It was a beaut!

I hunted and couldn't find one, would love to try and scare one up.
