hey joker there's something i wanted to ask,Being a godzilla fan for years do you own any godzilla toys or figures?

Hey, yeah I have some of the toys/figures, but not many. It's not due out of being disinterested, but more along the lines of toys/figures just not being in the budget, and for reasons of space. As I really don't have the extra room to store a number of items like that unless I did some serious rearranging!

Like alot of other people my age, I had the 1980's Imperial toy, which, as cheaply made as it was, is essentially THE Godzilla toy of my youth.



During the mid 1990's, I remember collecting some of the Treadmasters toy line as well. Essentially, it was my introduction to the Heisei universe, due to not seeing anything beyond Biollante at the time these toys was released, and the toys themselves being obviously influenced by the Heisei appearances.




It wasn't until 1998 when, finally, we were thrown a bone and Tri Star released the Heisei films Ghidorah-Destroyah on VHS in order to further hype the release of the 1998 film.

I collected some merch from the 1998 film, but can't think of much other than the "Battle Action" electronic toy (can't recall how big it was), and (I think) a Godzilla cup holder from Taco Bell. I also had a t-shirt that I remember alot of people liked, which featured the Statue of Liberty with a side shot of Zilla's leg and foot behind it, and a green lightning bolt coming down, with Godzilla being written in Japanese rather than in english. Can't remember where I purchased it (I'm thinking Sam Goodys but not 100% sure about that), but noticed the shirt was definitely not mass produced like some of the other shirts I continually saw that summer.

Everything else has been pretty sporadic. I have a nifty vinyl reprint poster of Ghidrah up on one of my walls in my apartment, and about 3 years ago, I found one of those 24 inch Bandai Godzilla's at a Toys R' Us about 3 years ago for $20 bucks.



That's basically been about it, outside of my collecting all the films on DVD/Blu Ray. One day I aim to get a nice 6 foot 1985 inflatable Godzilla (via eBay), you know ... the one famously featured in the movie "BIG" with Tom Hanks, but they can get awfully pricey.

But yeah ... one day.   



Soooo ... hows your collecting?

Soooo ... hows your collecting? 

Eh somewhat alright i guess cause outside of my godzilla vhs & dvd collecting which i have alot btw i barely have the real godzilla in my collection....most of the godzilla's figures i have are just zilla's toys from 1998....man if i was older back in the 90's i would dropped those toys & looked for the real godzilla but instead i have more of zilla then i do godzilla

Kinda surprised you never collected any of the Bandai action figures. They are definitely more 'current' than the '98 Zilla stuff. Though probably not as readily available by comparison. 

Anyways, here's a limited edition Empire magazine cover featuring the King of the Monsters, and it's AWESOME!

Oh no no i do have bandai godzilla action figures....just 2 & 2 trendmasters godzilla figures as well it's just that it's hard to find godzilla in stores now & days mainly cause how the new stuff from other franchises are over riding the selves leaving godzilla in the dust. 

Anyways, here's a limited edition Empire magazine cover featuring the King of the Monsters, and it's AWESOME!

....i gotta find that magazine & cut out anything godzilla related for my scrapbook!!!!>
