A lot of science fiction and horror motion pictures and comic books spawn toys relating to those titles. An awfully popular motion picture character turned toy character is Godzilla. Initially presented in Japan in the 1950s, Godzilla has conquered a worldwide cult audience. Hundreds of action figures in Godzilla’s resemblance have been sold. If you like this fire-breathing prehistoric monster, chances are you would like to collect the several Godzilla action figures available.

Whether you call him Godzilla or Gojira, there is no question that the colossal green lizard is maybe Japan’s most popular import, at least beside Hello Kitty and that Asahi beer. Originally a menacing monster and metaphor for the nuclear attack, Godzilla transformed over the years since he first appeared in 1954, as film director Eji Tsuburaya realised that his largest followers were kids, with all of their delicious licensing dollars.

Kaiju collecting can rapidly turn into a very expensive as well as addicting past time. From the 1960s the kaiju collector has had an escalating number of collectibles to use their hard earned finances on, and for most fans, the most enjoyable element of enjoying a collection is to look for that unusual poster, lobby, card, tin toy, etc. Extraordinarily enough, the primary collectible Godzilla toy wasn’t even developed in Japan, but was the America model set created by Aurora. For many a fan however, the most liked searched for collectible isn’t that hard to find poster, CD or model kit. For many a fan, the most popular and widely collected Godzilla items are the vinyl Godzilla toys which have continued to be popular for over 30 years.
