Did you invite Godzilla?

[RSS]

I'm loving this 1978 Sears spread featuring Hasbro Super Joe, I'm just somewhat curious as to why Godzilla from the Shogun Warriors was crowbarred into the back like that. It works though doesn't it? Little kids don't care that the toys aren't from the same lines (unless you were that really anal kid) and this scene probably got reenacted in a couple of (lucky) households.

My guess is someone at Sears thought that Godzilla would team up with Super Joe's enemies.

Godzilla is always crashing parties.
That is what he does!

He's the guy that comes uninvited, drinks all the beer, pukes in your potted plants, and won't leave even though everyone else has, insisting on telling you about the time Mothra broke his heart.

well atleast they put the Mattel sign,so I'm sure they know it wasn't part of the Joe line

I remember this picture well from my youth and I always wondered why Darkon wasn't allowed to wear any clothes? And nowadays I'm wondering how in the world they got away with naming him 'Darkon'...
