    Most science fiction and horror movies and comic books spawn toys relevant to those titles. An exceptionally admired motion picture figure turned toy figure is Godzilla. Originally presented in Japan in the 1950s, Godzilla has reached a worldwide cult following. Hundreds of games in Godzilla’s likeness have been manufactured. If you love this fire-breathing ancient giant, chances are you want to collect the numerous Godzilla action figures available.

    Whether you refer to him as Godzilla or Gojira, there’s no argument that the giant green lizard is conceivably Japan’s most famous import, at least beside Hello Kitty and that Asahi beer. Initially a frightening monster and symbol for the nuclear bomb, Godzilla altered over time since he debuted in 1954, as film director Eji Tsuburaya realised that his largest group of fans were children, with all of their luscious licensing dollars.

    Kaiju collecting can instantly become a very expensive as well as addicting past time. Since the 1960s the kaiju collector has had a growing number of toys to spend their hard earned cash on, and for most fans, the best element of enjoying a collection is to search for that uncommon poster, lobby, card, tin toy, etc. Extraordinarily enough, the earliest collectible Godzilla toy wasn’t even manufactured in Japan, but was the America model kit created by Aurora. For the majority of fans however, the most admired sought after collectible is not that hard to find poster, CD or model set. For many a fan, the most admired and commonly collected Godzilla collectibles are the vinyl Godzilla toys which have remained popular for over 3 decades.
