Imperial Godzilla

This is the Imperial Toys Godzilla monster from about 1965.

He is 13 inches tall.

And 14 inches long.  He has arms and legs that move but not the head, jaws, or tail, which is fine.

The paint job is pretty good for a 60 year old toy.

Imperial Made in Hong Kong.

1965 Toho Co, LTD.

I want a Godzilla figure, of the 1954 Godzilla, that is comparable to this one.  Minimal articulation, and at least 24 inches tall.  Figure companies keep making more and more Godzilla figures but they are often ridiculous, have multiple parts, multiple heads, alternate hands, all of which runs up the price and provides rather limited value, in my opinion.

We need a 24 inch tall 1954 Godzilla that costs less than $250 dollars, is strong, reasonably detailed, and has good play value.  I am waiting for one that will fill the last major hole in my collection of movie monsters.
 

Cavemen and Tim Mee and MPC

Imperial Toys cavemen figures.

Here with a 60mm Tim Mee soldier with pistol, a white MPC ring hand figure, and a Tim Mee Galaxy Laser Team figure in silver. 

 While exploring lost worlds, dense jungles, and dangerous islands, the possibility of cavemen is always present.  Now I have a few to fill in that gap in my collection.  I have fewer than 20 and I am not sure I have all the poses, so I will likely buy a few more.

Cavement vs Godzillasaurus

A while back I got a set of dogs at Dollar Tree, this big skinny dog is the same color as the cavemen so he and a couple others are now cavedogs.

I think the style of the dogs fits well too.

Here the tribe has turned out to defend their territory from Godzillasaurus.

With fire, rocks and dogs they defend their land.

A few spears help make their point.

Godzillasaurus will soon be sent away.

I have moved my photo studio to the other side of the room, not sure it will stay here or not but experimenting with different lighting and different indoor set up options.

 

Cavemen

Imperial Toys makes a line of cavemen, they are about 45mm tall.  This one has a club with spikes in it, and a man bun.

I figure since cavemen are likely shorter than modern people that 45mm works just fine for 54 to 60mm size figures.  This one has a stone ax.

This guy has discovered fire.  The bases are kind of small and they don't always stand up well, They may get re-based at some point.  They are action packed, not a lot of sitting around the cave poses.

I like the spear guy with stone tipped spear.  These figures often were sold in sets with zombies or pirates, I got these off eBay as a used group.

This guy has a parrot on his shoulder so perhaps a pirate / caveman crossover?  And he is trowing a rock with his left hand.

Throwing a circular rock, typical of these figures, action packed combat poses, but at the same time rather odd.  I have three of them in yellow plastic but the orange seems more common.
