Hey gang,
I have 2 of these 9 inch 1987 bootleg Godzilla figures so I decided to paint one up and it looks really nice. I don't know who made these figures, but I remember getting them in 1987. There was this Godzilla and a redesigned Gigan. each figure came in 2 color varitions-Godzilla in purple and blue, Gigan in yellow and brown. For whatever reason I have 2 purple Godzillas. The funny thing bout this figure is that aside from changing Godzilla's traditionl backplates into shark fin shapes, it is alot more accurate sculpt that the licsensed Imperial Godzillas of the same time.
Here are the 2 versions together:




The oil tank prop actually came with the Gyeronia Ultramonster kit I'm working on, but looks more appropriate for the Big G
