Hoping this image can be seen now that i hav the plug in. But came across these tail draggers on yj. Soft vinyl, pretty big too. 8inches maybe more. No markings. Any info would be appreciated!
@akum6n This is an old post of yours but I directed @GruesomeGraphx to it in a discussion we were having on Facebook. The green Stegosaurus you're talking about in this post is the one on page 116 of the Tatsumi Mook about dinosaurs, right? I did a Google translation of the page, it's just as ambiguous:
Hmm, I have the Tatsumi mook... I'll take a look and see if I can glean anything further from the original Japanese text. Yes, that was the green Stegosaurus referenced in my post. Looking at it again, I would guess Miura Toy is the actual manufacturer, or (if they are actually different companies) the company that made the Super Kaiju series. The style is the same as the Super Kaiju series, and those were also lacking foot stamps.
My most recent mail. Takatoku Ankylosaurus, stands just over 8" high. The vinyl is fairly light-weight but seems good quality. I found this interesting from the Mandarake website ... 'Apparently Takatoku was a toy company without its own factory. For this reason, we had a cooperative relationship with Nitto, and we borrowed Nitto's technology to create monster soft vinyl and capitalize on the ultra monster boom of the time. The way he stands is somewhat reminiscent of Nitto's Gamera, but the shape of his legs and body make him a cute monster that is unique to Takatoku.'
