Super Joe meets Godzilla

[RSS]

Seeing as it's Christmas eve, I'm going to hurry up and do a few of my favourites before I shut down for the year. This piece featuring Hasbro Super Joe (an underrated line IMHO) features Shogun Warriors Godzilla, for no good reason but it totally works. This is what I miss about catalogs....

that's classic. they sure got creative merging toy lines for advertisements back in the 70's

[Red Hulk]

That sure brings back memories.

That is a fantastic pic, I've never seen it before. Some of my favourite toys all together! It never occurred to me before, but Terron does make a decent foe for the Mattel Godzilla. Mine aren't displayed anywhere near each other in my toy room, I might have to change that!

[cjefferys]

BTW Brian, how much were the Godzilla and Terron selling for? Just curious what their retail prices were.

Wow, cool ad. The Terron seems like a really underrated monster toy. Think I got mine for 1.99 loose on ebay. Is it just me or are the figures really out of scale though? They look more like 12" compared to Godzilla.

[cjefferys]

I noticed that too. I guess it's just because Godzilla is much further in the background. They do seem pretty much in scale to Terron though (who I agree is a great, underrated monster toy)

Amazing pic! Is it from Sears?

[Hedji]

Look at the expressions on the kids....they are all business!

[drquest]

The perspective on that picture makes Godzilla seem short, or the Super Joes huge!

Very cool!

[hedrap]

I lived this picture.

Terron was always my standby Anguilius for Godzilla and Rodan as they fought the Shogun Warriors.

That is a page full of Awesomeness.What a great time to be a kid.

what an amazing ad!! I also love the slightly altered look of Godzilla (notice his red eyes)

[cjefferys]

The weird thing is that my childhood Godzilla has one red and one yellow eye. I'm still not sure which one is the correct colour!

WOW! I have two of them here and both have Yellow. Maybe super early editions had Red?? In your case they just could not decide
