If memory serves, this was the first version of Aurora's Godzilla that I was exposed to. I'm pretty sure this is the version my brother Joe built. I think I finally built my own when Monogram re-issued the kit later in the 70s. But I have a nostalgic appreciation for the glow-in-the-dark square box. So, when I saw this at a toy show at a very reasonable price, I picked it up.
What's cool is that still in the box were the duplicated pieces in their non-glow versions — Godzilla's hands, feet, spines, tail and head.
It also included the 1972 version of the instructions.
Godzilla has been reissued many times since, and I've got a few, including this long box version...
And this currently available square box glow kit, which I also picked up so that one of these days I can build up my very own glow version.
Check back next week to see more from my Godzilla collection!
