Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
Yeah after some research on the Internet apparently both the "sharkzilla" and the affor mentioned Gigan boots are knock offs by a Chinese toy company named "DaiMei", circa 1986. In case anyone else is looking. Only come in an approx 9" size. But two different color schemes for each figure. Dark blue or purple for "Sharkzilla" and a brownish/red or a yellow/green for the "Gigan". They also did a boot run of the standard "Imperial" Godzilla which basically just looks like a much shoddier version with really bad dorsal fins.
And yeah I realize it's custom painted in that one post, which is why I wanted to get my hands on one and give it a shot. Seems like it would be a fun project. There's quite a few "Sharkzillas" up on ebay at the moment but, since little Tokyo and Chinatown are just a hop skip and a jump down the street I'm going to see whats there first.
Regardless, thanks for the follow up it's appreciated

This is a fan made sculpture that I bought on ebay. Is there a better thread than this one to show it?

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
Well technically not a knock off more of a fan sculpted or a home made toyMechagigan wrote:Woo-Hoo, first knockoff of the new movie!tycerium wrote:This is a fan made sculpture that I bought on ebay. Is there a better thread than this one to show it?

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
That doesn't really qualify as a knock-off. It's just fan art that the creator decided to sell.

We got a pretty old custom item thread here, but I think there's a newer one lurking around somewhere.

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
Erm... Did I just come across a bootleg MMS Gamera?
The listing says it's about 10 inches tall, and made of vinyl...

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
I'd say it's a bootleg judging by those horrible fish eyes, yellow tusks, and lack of silver paint between the toes. Here's the original:Mechagigan wrote:Erm... Did I just come across a bootleg MMS Gamera?

Whelp, over a year later, and I believe your wish has just been granted:Mechagigan wrote: Now we await our precious, precious Chinese 6" figures...
Both coming straight from the bootleg Shangri-La of Mailand, China. Shin looks pretty similar to his legit counterpart, aside from his stubby little fingers and the (apparently) articulated tail. Mr. Braindead Spacegodzilla on the other hand...

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
Those have been around for a couple months now actually. It's noticeable that they are fake tho.

That fake Shin really isn't half bad (although what that says about the original figure is a bit disconcerting). He could be used well for customs.

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
I noticed some dealers have the fake Shin listed as being 30 cm....I am guessing they mean from head to tip of tail.
Pretty sure Bandai never made a 12" tall shin....?
Also,for those of you that want one..you can now get a knock off of the Bandai Shin Godzilla HG set;
Added in 16 minutes 50 seconds:
Could some one explain what the fudge this is?
Did Bandai ever make a figure of the fake Godzilla 74?
Looks like this could be one,if the paint had been done differently;

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
There is a 12 inch shin, I think. I saw pictures a while back for one, at any rate. I don't know what happened to it, though.

Looks like a bootleg of a sofubi figure depicting Mechagodzilla shedding his Fake Godzilla disguise.bladerunner555 wrote: Could some one explain what the fudge this is?
They did, for the Memorial Box in 2004, however this one is just the 74 figure with a retooled arm:bladerunner555 wrote: Did Bandai ever make a figure of the fake Godzilla 74?

These are (strangely enough) bootleg figures of the game pieces from the old Godzilla Kaiju World Wars board game released by Toy Vault.bladerunner555 wrote:And if that Mechagodzilla is not strange enough,the same dealer is selling this...guess it's supposed to be Gigan 2005;

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
Thanks for the info.
I had forgotten that Bandai also made a fake Godzilla 74 HG,with replaceable MechaGodzilla arm.

Re: Knockoff Godzilla Toys
That transforming MechaGodzilla is from toygraph. I've no idea if that particular one is a bootleg or not, but it's this sculpt:
http://www.clubtokyo.org/listings/itemL ... entID=1624
It represents MechaGodzilla as he reveals himself and sheds his disguise. They actually did a couple different sculpts representing different stages of his reveal.
