    bought this on ebay from a seller in venezuela who didnt mention any markings, so i thought well, its a nice cheap bootleg. turns out its a yonezawa and made in japan. looks like the "godzilla vs king kong" version.

    Wow! finding a small treasure where least expected!! Thats great. I hope there were more of those little surprises in Latin America. I doubt it... I'll keep looking though. (Marx bootlegs don't count)

    I love this little guy.
    Looks like he's begging to be messed with.
    Congrats on the score.

    That's an awesome Godzilla! Congrats...

    You had no problems with customs though, huh? I'm currently arranging to get another jumbo from Venezuela and am scared shitless that they are gonna fuck with me again. I'm actually looking into shipping it to Japan first, then back here in the desperate hope to avoid them..... If not that, I think I might ship to someone else's house, just in case I managed to get on some weird "let's fuck with this guy and break all his rare, vintage toys" list. :x

    i sent mike a link to the auction thinking he might be interested in bidding, but he also thought it was a bootleg. since he didnt want it i decided to buy it.

    nothing important really:) Still not sure if it is suppose to be godzilla despite that it looks like it. not sure if yonezawa wrote the name of the characters on their toys, but that would be a sign. not really sure if they ever had a toho license. Similar to the question did Marusan ever do a King Kong figure. All that being said, still a cool item.

    Definitely not a licensed item, but still fun nonetheless.

    Those bulging eyes indicate a thyroid problem. I'd get help for the poor green guy, asap!

    Thats a shame, it certainly looks like Godzilla.

    I would love to see a pic of the box. The sparking dinos I have from that company all have amazing box art.
