Post M1go Godzilla Actor Toy
Image

I found this photo somewhere deep in the M1go website, and think it's just the coolest toy. I may be wrong but think it depicts Haruo Nakajima, one of the first actors to play The King.

Does anyone have this toy or any information on it? I sure would love to find one some day!

There's a couple on YJA now for under 5,000 yen. If you're looking I'll find the link when I get home.

Thanks locomoto ... I'd really appreciate that as I'm not sure what search term to use. The kanji for Gojira would probably yield so many returns!

Mostly, I just wanted to share the pic in case people didn't know about the toy. It struck me as being something really special in the kaijuverse.

it's actually not a very tough toy to find - but if memory serves me, there are at least 2 versions of it. A green one (the lower half of the godzilla suit) which was a show exclusive - most of which were signed by the actor who played 'ol gojira, and a blue one which is fairly common. I can't remember if there was also a brown version too - but the green, signed one can be hard to track down.

I hope that helps.

They probably did at some point. I check the store at least twice a month, although there's so much to see there that it's easy to miss things. Thanks again everyone. It seems this thing isn't too hard to track down.

I've got one of these. Seems the blue version is easiest to find. You don't see the other very often though.

havingmysay- your right. We had them twice since I worked here. But they go pretty fast, if you find it right away.
