So i didn't think i had anything to add after AlphaOTS posted his 74 Mechagodzilla gashapon, but i think i found an excuse to repost it and add another to the conversation.

Apparently the Bandai High Grade series 9 and series 4 both featured a 1974 Mechagodzilla. The one AlphaOTS posted was from series 9. The one from series 4 was smaller and less detailed.

Series 9:

Series 4:

From 1974, the Bullmark medium scale black-spray MechaGodzilla, still MIB:

As well as the 1984 Bandai MG'74 original along side the 1989 reissue, with tags:

And again a few of my favorite clunky Marmit VP's, left to right all VP-100:
Gallery orange, First issue 1999 green, Chiller 2001 blue

I've got the '74 Chogokin MG and love it. I do love the look of the chromed '75 one, but at this point I can't afford one.

This one is currently in Oregon, while I'm currently in California, so I can't get a better pic right at the moment.

This one is pretty cool. It's the Marusan "gun metal" Mechagodzilla.

Here's the last Toho figure Pilot Ace did...

My entire original MG vinyl collection...

(which has actually gotten smaller, as I sold the M-1 Bullmark MG reissues and first release modern Marusan figure to Tim Crane a while back)

My entire MGII vinyl collection...

From 2001, the Marusan stylized flying MG'74.
Just like in the movies, you can see the "wires" that keep the suit suspended in air (in this case, I used 2 pound test monofilament fishing line).

Man you guys are making me want to get into collecting other lines that I don't have the money for.

M1Go Bullmark Cyborg MechaGodzilla - repro box release from 2010 along with M1Go standard release Cyborg sculpt. (sorry for the crappy pic).

I do find it odd that although the large original Bullmark and repro Cyborg MG were both based on the '74 suit,
that M1 used their own standard size MG75 (MG2) sculpt to create the similar smaller Cyborg release.
Why not use their 9" MG'74 sculpt to be consistent?
