There have been a few reissues of the Godzilla model but I believe a really good conditioned original one in it's box recently went for $15k or so a couple years back.

Edit: Marusan is still around- they originally made tin toys. I was interviewed for their YouTube channel a couple years back in their office. They mostly do soft vinyl toys though nowadays.

When I first saw this I thought that was a tree in Kong's hand like the original movie. Well, here's hoping that one kaiju tries to jam a tree in the other's mouth at one point.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
Q The Winged Serpent is the best movie about a diamond heist coincidentally taking place during a giant monster rampage I've seen so far.

I found it kind of boring, but there's interesting stuff in it certainly.

Do you know what's not boring? All the impromptu crash zooms to King Ceesar statues in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974). I rewatched it the other day and I forgot how drat fun it was. King Ceesar is such an awesome monster.

Jun Fukuda ranking:

1. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
2. Ebirah, Horror of the Deep
3. Godzilla vs. Megalon
4. Godzilla vs. Gigan
5. Son of Godzilla

Dang, if you put Ebirah above Megalon and Gigan, I think I better watch Ebirah.

I watched Destroy All Monsters the other night. Pretty good. Felt a bit flat to me, though

Ebirah's kind of weird because it's a perfectly good stand alone adventure movie with largely unnecessary Godzilla.

The first two Daimajin movies are both fuckin great, I have the trilogy on blu ray but for some reason have never gotten around to the third one, I should do a marathon

IMO,

1. Ebirah
2. Son
3. Mechagodzilla
4. Gigan (3 and 4 are really close and arguably interchangable)
5. Megalon (fun but not a good movie)
