I'm looking for a good example of a Shogun Godzilla to replace the one i had as a kid. I dearly miss the guy and would like to find a good example of the guy for a reasonable price. My mom gave me a little cash and she wanted me to try and find one. thanks Jon
Any body?

I can not believe noboby has one to sell? Or an extra? I wish I would kept the extra one I sold previously. You would have appreciated the Godzilla much more.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Part of my problem is I'm trying to find a good one with a lever and no cracks. Really if I could go back in time I would like my old broken down one but since I can't have him I'm trying to get a nice one.

I hope you find one man-I wish I still had my extra one. He was actually the one I had as a kid and was broken. I gave him to my 2 boys when they were little and he didnt survive.

Yeah, it's a bad time of year to be buying. Wait until mid Jan (after people buy themselves gifts with Christmas money or Feb, but get it before people get their tax returns). The art gallery / toy store connected with Austin Books and Comics had an unboxed Godilla in great shape in store when I was in town two weeks ago, I believe they wanted quite a bit for it, but you might try calling them. Great people, and the manager I spoke with, Brandon, was friendly and very gracious.

Also, be aware that the fists and yellow plastic "claws" of the feet have been repopped, supposedly prefectly (which I find to be a damn shame, but that's me). Check out the photo section:

do you remember how much? As for the repop i seen some feet that looked right but the plastic was pailer. Although I have seen a pail brighter godzilla a few times lately and to be honest he has had me worried. All of the ones I've ever seen were really dark green.
They had several Shoguns and I was pricing a lot of items. I can't remember well enough, but I have one and the price wasn't low enough to buy and trade for something else. Can't hurt to inquire.
As fa as color on the hands and claws, they guy remaking them has done them in both brighter and darker. I don't know how to tell the difference between his and originals. It would be great if there is a way.

Woe he wanted $300 for it! And it didn't even have a box. thanks for the tip any way man.

Wha? Weird. It definitely wasn't $300 when I was there. Strange. Anyway, I'm sure one will trun up online at a reasonable price, especially after the holidays.

Ya it was hard not to laugh. I was just like ok I'm just doing a little shopping around.lol!
The more I think on it, that really is odd. I'm SURE he didn't quote me $300, in part because I would have asked him why so damned much. It wasn't cheap, but I think I'd remember it being so outside market price, and wouldn't recommend calling. Anyway, they have a Godzilla / Kaiju themed art show up right now - including a great one-of-a-kind stained glass style light box - and a huge display of NFS Godzilla toys all from one private collection. Nothing in either store (the toy store / gallery is right next to the comic shop) is outrageous. Matter of fact I got a loose complete (feather and all) and mint Sideshow Mask of the Red Death Phantom of the Opera 8 in figure for $20, which is $10 less than I've ever seen it and around $20 under what it typically sells for, and he didn't discount it, that was their priced retail. Anyway, given this Godzilla exception, both are still great stores, try not to hold this against 'em, and if you're even in that city, check 'em out.

not yet. Either they aren't meeting my standards or are going just too high. The holidays are driving them up. i priced them a month or so ago and they seemed to be going for way less. I was hoping a UMA buddy would be able to hook me u with a decent one.

I have, but only on television and the web. One of the toy dealers I purchase from claimed to have one. He was SO wrong! Or misinformed? He tried to tell me that his TOHO/MATTEL Godzilla was the Popy Godzilla. Can I say....wow?!
