Godzilla Day!

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

That Superman hugging Godzilla picture is too funny. "Don't leave me, I'll change I promise." :D

Is 'Tricephalon' supposed to be the scientific name for King Ghidorah?

That's not only funny but I've been there

It's the royalty free name.

Good lord, how did I almost miss Godzilla day?

He's obviously a favorite of mine. Thanks for the awesome post.

Ahhh; but through the magic of bumping threads, we can make everyday Godzilla day. As it should be.

My cat(Duke) used to fight with him(shogun Warrior Godzilla,that is).

[cjefferys]

Duke must have been a really big cat.

HE HAD ALOTTA TUDE!!!!!

Well, it's one of those days where your teacher is too hung over to do anything so he just wheels in the projector. In my case, I'm sick but it works just as well. I thought it would be fine time to showcase these commercials from our DVD showcasing a character near and dear to my inner eight year old, Godzilla!

I'm still hopelessly devoted to finding the HG Toys "Godzilla vs Tricephalon" play set for myself someday. Anybody got one for sale, I guess it would help if I checked Ebay for one.

Lastly, another classic, the Ben Cooper Godzilla Halloween costume, another thing that made you jealous when you saw kids wearing it on October 31st..

the tricephalon set used to show up on ebay quite often, but for the past few years I have not seen it appear at all

the real find would be getting a hold of that knights vs dragons playset (not sure of name) that was out around the same time as this set, because the dragon that came with it was a red version of Tricephalon. Saw this only once in my lifetime at the no longer existing Alexanders dept store in New York (long island)

Speaking of vintage Godzilla toys, here's a recent eBay purchase that landed yesterday:

You can see a larger pic here:

This is the 1980 Ben Cooper Godzilla jiggler. The toy was originally released in 1974 as a generic dinosaur, then reissued in 1980 with a Godzilla tag. I never had the Godzilla version before, but I did own the basic dinosaur version as a kid. I suppose that if you squint real hard and use your imagination, he *kinda* looks like the Big G
George

the 1974 version had a horn on the top of his head that they removed when they released him as Godzilla

I actually found mine in 1985. When Godzilla 1985 came out, I went into a woolworth's and they had a box of the Ben Cooper zilla's (all with tags). Then again they could have just been sitting on the shelf that long or they found them inside the stockroom, who knows, but still a cool toy

[cjefferys]

That Ben Cooper Godzilla is god ugly and looks nothing like Godzilla. So, why do I want to get one for my collection?

[rche]

because if you put that cool tag up front, you know what is supposed to go on that shelf.

I've been wanting one of those for awhile now. What do they usually go for?
