1978
JUMBOSAURUS Yep. Popy made a Jumbo Godzilla and it beats the HELL out of the Mattel one. It actually looks a lot like a giant sized Popy vinyl. One of the coolest things about it is that it actually ROARS! Really! Pull the string on the back, and a classic Godzilla roar comes out the speaker on the chest. This is a REALLY hard peice to track down, if for no other reason than so many people want one. Jumbo collectors, Popy collectors, godzilla collectors, etc...

This particular Goji belongs to a guy here in Chicago named Damien, you might know him from theHouse Of Monsters. This is the only jumbo he has, and about his 10,000th Godzilla. He'd been on a quest for this for almost 12 years, and finally got one a short while ago. I definitly want to thank him for letting me use these pictures (Sorry they are so bad)...
