Postby frankthebunny » Sun Jun 10, 2007 7:14 am

Does anyone know what company made this 6-inch scaled 1962 Godzilla?
Sorry for the low quality pics.

I may be wrong, but that looks like the Kaiyodo 8" kit, pre-built.

It is the China bootleg of the Kaiyodo G'62 kit. See this Club Tokyo Buyer Be Aware article "Kaiyodo Knockoff Model Kit Figures":

Cheap quality is obvious with the poorly attached missing fin plates.

I've been searching the net, and I couldnt find anything

Thanks for the heads-up, guys.

I immediately went to kaijukits. It does resemble the Kaiyodo 1962 kit http://www.kaijukits.com/library/kaiyod ... /g62ys.htm

I have 3 of these guys. The burning, the 54, and the .

Even if they are boots, they're really pretty good. I was especially pleased with the Burning G since he was my first burning figure. I don't remember the paint being quite as odd as the one in the CT article though. Too bad they're fake, but at least they don't look bad. At the very least, yours looks good from the front, lol!

I don't think I've seen them around anywhere. Mine came from Showcase Collectibles a few years back. They all pop up on ebay now and again, but less often than the Premiums. I think the last ones were all sold as a complete set.
You may be able to hit up some of the older dealers if ya just try direct contact. I don't seem to recall ever seeing them in an online store, though.
