I have them, but it's fun to watch the Kaiju Christmas marathon on the El Ray Network. I've had it on in the background today.

Glad I checked this thread. I know how I will be spending the rest of the night.

Here is a gift I was sent by Secret Santa this year.
It is awesome, about 14" tall. 3a crossed with Godzilla The whole thing has been re-painted and looks far better than it did.

If only Imperial painted godzilla like this, I'd pick one up and gladly pay more than the 10 dollars, or whatever it sold for....
It looks stylized instead of lacking.....

I'm torn, the repaint is really nice, but being a child who only had the Imperial Godzilla for nearly 10 years before Trendmasters ever came around or access to Japanese collectibles was an option, I have such a fond love for the original that it's almost hard to accept this reworking.

I'd never heard of Imperial until I got this and looked on the underside of the feet (I'm in the UK and I don't know if we had them here in the 80's).
I have looked at the original paint job and it is not good but I can see your point as you grew up with them, I would feel the same about a re-paint of He-Man.
To me this is a cool custom Zilla and a big one at that with a 3a twist, I love it (with my fresh eyes on this toy).

It's also an original Imperial, at least looks like one, the bootlegs have different skin textures and there's a dotted pattern on the spines instead of random texture.

I don't think I'd have heard of Imperial Godzilla if it weren't for growing up with one, though I have a saved search on eBay for '84/'85 Godzilla collectibles so I would have seen one eventually but probably wondered what the hell it was.

Before that came out there was only Taiwan knockoffs like this.

 

[DpM]

Would the bootlegs still have imperial and toho on the feet?

 

[demorathis]

I don't think the knockoffs have either toho nor imperial.

I seem to recall a large imperial with two tail segments back in the day, I saw in a store called Aaahs on sunset blvd in Los Angeles in 1985,
but I could be mistaken.....this elusive, perhaps fantastic figment of my memory, being a vague recollection.....it was on display atop a shelf full of 1962 and 64 style bandai figures as well as imperial godzillas

This was in addition to the large scale 1964 version by bandai ( great monsters series)

Do you get a Nosferatu vibe from him by any chance? I certainly do.
