Its a Trendmasters. I had it for some time. I got my from a J.C. Penny's magazine back in the 90s. It came with a city-scape to destroy too.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.

I had a 12" Imperial when I was young. Still do, somewhere. Unfortunately for the collectible value, I decided to give it serious overhaul when I was a kid. I spray-painted it black, gave him proper irises, and did some bony highlights on the claws and fins.

That's stupid price for a TM toy.

I have the big one! I also have several of the 6 inch ones, including one with slightly bent fins, a low quality one that came on a card. My most unique, however, is one that I got at a flea market for a buck. His fingers, toes, and tip of his mouth were rudely chopped off, but that's what I really love about him.

Not bad. If you can get past the awful paint-aps to the head.

By the way, anyone have any info on that little Imperial lookalike knock off from the 80s with the little clamping arms? Here's a photo of one:

I really want one but can't find one online anywhere. I think there's a brown one too but the green one is my goal.

That's awesome! I actually like the detail of it even though it's a knock off. I have to find one of these! :D

Finally got myself a 12" imperial godzilla!!

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem ... 0737094827

I think I might "restore" it once it gets here. Touch up the paintjob, paint the fins again...

I think I'll get rid of the lipstick too...

It's here!!!

Holy skreeonk it's so big!! (THAT will be taken out of context...)

Its listed as 12"... But it towers over both my 12" banpresto Godzilla 2000 and my BC finaro Godzilla.

Yeah, it's freaking huge! I remember buying one and was blown away by how tall it was. Was there a slightly shorter version too, or is it just me?

I believe the Imperial G was my first Godzilla toy and I still have the same 12" and 6" I did back then. My 6" is missing its tail though...seems to be unfortunately common.

Excuse the cheap plug but I now see the romanticism in my first attempt at stop motion being with my first Godzilla toy -

I have one of those from when I was a kid! Funny thing on how I got it, too; we went to this dinosaur shop in a town out in the country somewhere, and I swear everything in that store was from the 90s or beforehand. They were still selling things that they had since the 80s; that being said, they carried a lot of Imperial-type knock offs, including a King Kong styled ape and a LOT of knock off Godzillas. I picked one up for $5. I remember they had a ton of stuff I've never seen since, including Imperial Godzilla looking pencil toppers. :shock:
