Now it can be told! For the first time around here, feast your eyes on a completed set of all FOUR "Godzilla Devours White Castle" 1990 kids' meal cups!

| The logo! |
When I first started collecting these, I was convinced they looked so much alike, it would be impossible. Now that I can see all four together, in living color, though, that's not the case at all.

| The reverse of the cups (somehow I got these mixed up between photos and had to edit a bit.) This photo is just in case you have to identify cups just from the logo side--they are all completely distinct from each other! |
While the toys from the promotion (seen here) were produced by Strottman, International, these large cups were made by the Louisiana Plastics, Inc. (which was in Missouri, actually). I am assuming they were 32 ounces, from that number being on the bottom:
So I got to thinking...is there an easier way to identify these cups, since you never see the whole image at once? Then, a thought struck me. A goofy thought, but...one that just might work. By rolling them slowly on the scanner, I can now provide full images of the entire artwork for each cup! Such as it is. It's...actually pretty bad. Then again, I'm willing to bet you won't see this anywhere else!
If I'm counting right, that's 3 KING OF THE MONSTERS and 1 SON OF GODZILLA. If you are trying to finish your set, I hope this guide will help! Stay patient, because they are out there and do surface every once in a while!
