Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Just got mine in the mail today and I'm starting clean up on it. It's a little bigger than I expected, and rounder! For some reason I was picturing it being more flat, like a cheap plastic soldier.

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Easy clean up, fun figure too. Looks like the Aurora model kit Godzilla's little brother

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Love the Marmit biollante toys. Still desperate to find the pink/blue rose biollante. But all the biollante toys are great. Love giant monster flowers.

The rose form Biollante figures are especially hard to get ahold of, it seems. I have that pink/blue one, as well as one of the "adult" Biollante's from Marmit. HUGE toy!

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Yes, I saw the adult green/purple biollante and it was huge. I actually had ordered it and it arrived broken so I sadly had to send it back. Is the blue adult version smaller? From pics I have seen on flikr it looked smaller to me than the green one.

ultrakaiju wrote: This is such a great discussion, thanks Sanjeev. Love to see that Skullbrain is still a wealth of information, and as David pointed out, we are all still learning more all the time. I often wonder given the popularity of this figure if there weren't a lot more produced, and hence over a longer period, which could account for the variations we see in them. Some have very light silver sprays, while others have very heavy handed paints; then there are the eye colour variants, with most of the SANs being red or pink, where it seems they alternated additionally with white/grey or maybe even light blues on the Bullmarks (based solely on what I have seen I mean). I love my original and really, no collection is complete without one. As the man said, this is where it all began. Had to throw in a Goji-sized pic to show off this guy's beauty! Which version is it? there are so many of Marusan and Bullmark that is very easy confused (Well in some cases only varies the position of the tail) if I'm not mistaken the first version is the Aurora. By the way it is a beautiful piece! Best regards!

cindy Oh yes, the second release sculpt is quite a bit smaller yet still very impressive. Here is a pic which shows helps to show the relative size.

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
^^^ Nice pick-up! That is one of Bandai's earliest Godzilla figures. Not positive but isn't it solid rubber/vinyl, not hollow vinyl like the subsequent kaiju figures?

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Well...it definitely does not feel like the hollow hard vinyl of the early tagged Bandai figures...like the 1983 Bandai '62 and '64...and ESPECIALLY the '84. I am not sure if you can call this figure a "vinyl" figure...as it does feel like semi-hard rubber with wiring {?} inside for poseability. It reminds me of a larger version of this item...with a different look and form..... Of course, they both are fine additions to my collection. I just never realized just how similar these two figures are. Btw...to answer a question that was given to me a while back...it is dated 1978. I apologize for taking so long to respond on that inquiry.

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
^^^ Nice carded example of that rare "bendy" toy. They were made in 1978 by GLC. I have three of them in the collection, only one of which does not have any of the bendy wires broken.

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Lovely figure! The greenish hue of the vinyl is really striking. In hand, I could probably stare at that for hours.

Re: whats your favorite godzilla toy ?
Really weird that they used the title treatment from the Marvel Godzilla comic series. Odd. Same timeframe as the comic, too. Gotta find the connection. Nice piece, though.
