Godzilla Jumbo Puffy Magnet #5 (of 6) Added To The Collection!

Last year--actually in this post--it finally dawned on me that all of these Godzilla Puffy magnets and magnetic keychains used the same 6 images over and over, so therefore, where the giant ones were concerned, there must also be 6 different styles (see that post for my full personal epiphany). 

Here are those 6 designs:

Up to that point, I had accounted for three of these, in their original packaging.  A fourth turned up in a quarter machine display header card that I purchased:

And now, a 5th has joined the group!

This one measures 6 & 1/2 inches in height.

SO, for those of you keeping score at home, I just need to find "Magnetic Godzilla Character TV & Cartoon Pals" design #4, which looks like this:

It would be friggin' Godzooky, because of course it is. Oh well, the search continues. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, I have to update the Godzilla guide.

From the Aurora 1970 Dealer Catalog (Aurora Plastics Corp, 1970)

 

I haven't looked, but I am assuming that this entire book exists somewhere on the Internet, probably on archive.org or something, as Aurora fans are both legion as well as ravenous AND insatiable.  Therefore, we will not waste time here with every page of sailing ships, airplanes, and model cars, but cut right to the chase! It's what you came here to see anyhow!

Godzilla (and King Kong) make a cameo appearance in this group shot, which is right inside the cover.

And now the monster section, in its entirety, at last! 1969 (the previous year) introduced the first famous "glow kits," wherein Aurora reissued monster kits with new, glow-in-the-dark parts.  This page here gives us a full-page look at the Frankenstein artwork!

The crown jewels of the glow kits being Godzilla and Kong, of course.  I have said this before, but it must have been pretty sweet to get tucked into bed at night, and have the Godzilla model you built watch over you with glowing head and hands, as you fell asleep!

We conclude with the second-most-interesting section of the catalog!

Note that The Penguin is included under the "Heroes" title, which I guess should've read "HEROES......and also one villain."

As always, good stuff from Aurora, the definition of a truly timeless brand!
