Could anyone give me a clue? |

They look like cheap hard rubber/vinyl bootlegs made in China. I've had a few of those over the years, in different colors. Although they shouldn't sell for more than $10 to $15.00 - they can be surprisingly difficult to find when you're looking for them. |

As part of the US promotion for the film "Godzilla 1985", Godzilla toys were licensed and © by Toho for manufacture by Imperial Toy Corp. of LA in 1985. Most were made in Hong Kong and if they do not have the Imperial crown logo and name on them (bottom of the feet on the Godzilla) then they would be boots. |

I like my Imperial Godzilla, big and little version...I remember seeing the Gigan but being a broke-ass punk I didn't buy it. Luckily i did buy a bunch of Godaiken robots back in the day! |

Thanks, guys, I'm not a collector or anything, so I thought I might need some advice before selling these. They don't have the imperial crown thing, so they must be boots. |

I almost hate to let the Gigan go just for the loveable inaccuracies. |

I don't know the market on these very well, but I know if I had one as a kid they are nothing near rare. Maybe it would be better to hold on to it? |
