Post Godzilla Man ID?
I saw this interesting looking toy up on YJA recently. Does anyone know anything about the toy? The auction description was vague regarding the maker—M1? Bullmark?. I’m also wondering about the marker-markings on the back. The auction description suggests an autograph? Or just graffiti signed by the ex-owner of the toy? Looks too new to be vintage. Can’t help but wonder if there is a top half to the toy :P

I absolutely love this M1-Go toy...an instant classic!
Available in blue, brown, and green...Haruo Nakajima wearing the Godzilla legs.
I believe the blue Goji legs are the most common.

Signed by Harou Nakajima who was the first man in the original 54 Godzilla suit. The Nakajima signed versions are really quite common.
Based from this scene in which only Goji's legs were needed while stomping Tokyo in the original Godzilla '54

i miss you goji pants...



Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best
Gojipants I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Goodness, I didn't realize that Pickle is such a tender soul! :P
Thank you for the poem, and Thank You RedYoda for the toy ID and detailed info. That pic you posted is really neat too! I'll have to wait until another one comes up to try to add it to my collection--it's really very amusing! :P
