Thanks! Let me know if you can think of anything I am omitting! I need to track down the Rodan and Ghidorah model kits from the 70's, because they should be here.

The first things that come to mind are the other GLJ items - Watch, and Bop Bag. Then Imperial did two different version Bop Bags along with their inflatable, and of course the Bubble Blower. There was also a licensed Godzilla/Dr. Pepper skateboard and a Godzilla "Petster" by Axlon.

Thanks so much for posting this wonderful stuff. I only remember about half of it, but would happily find a home for any and all of it in my office.

Hi there, hoping someone stil monitors this list? It’s been a few years… so I have found an unlicensed, unmarked, ceramic mug, I’m gonna say for sure before the 70’s, 3-D hand painted Godzilla. I can’t find it anywhere… happy to share photo if anyone has any ideas? It’s pretty great. Thanks

@Lori - Oh yes, still here! I'd love to see some photos of the mug you describe! Email address is at the top right of the page (samtheq@juno.com). Thanks!
