Before Super7 produced a Shogun Warriors Rodan mini-figure, they did a 3-3/4" version of Mattel's 70s Godzilla (sized to match the two-foot tall Shogun Warrior robot figures). The micro version lacked the firing fist, but had a close approximation of the extending fire tongue.
A few months later, Super7 released an 8" version in their Ultimates! line, with a more accurate extending fire tongue AND a firing fist. As I was never a huge fan of the original Shogun version of Godzilla (A firing fist? A flaming 'tongue' to represent his atomic breath?), I had passed on that one.
For this summer's San Diego ComicCon, Super7 released a new color variant to go after fans like me... and it worked. I'm a sucker for 'burning'-style Godzillas, and I have to admit, there's something about it in this scale that works better for me than it ever did in the 2' version.
Here he is next to the 3-3/4" version for scale.
Of course I had to capture that firing fist on video...
Be here next week for another item from my Godzilla collection!
