Well, if the Tricephaon is 7" long then judging by that picture I'd put the Godzilla at between 3-4"

One of those Trendmasters Godzilla toys that had the red button on it's chest that made it roar.

My first figure was the Imperial Godzilla back when I was in elementary school. After that, never saw another G figure of any kind (lived in the midwest, the worst place to find Godzilla and Japanese related products) until the dark horse comics and TM stuff came along (yeah, it hasn't aged well, but it will always hold a place in my heart since that's all there was), then I got into Japanese vinyl figures when I attended G-Con 95 & 96....

My first Godzilla toy was the Godzilla vs. Tricephalon set. Everything but the Godzilla figure vanished almost immediately. Once I got my first Bandai Godzilla (the 1983 King-Goji), I traded the Tricephalon set version away for a Tribots MOB-L figure. Many years later, many, many more dollars were spent on eBay to get the Tri set again off eBay...now it sits in a place of honor...

Hard to say for sure. It was probably the Inflatable Imperial Godzilla, since I clearly remember having that in the first house I lived in as a little kid, but I also had a Shogun Warriors Godzilla and a Yamakatsu Angilas (although I didn't know who Angilas was at the time) when I was still pretty young.

Mine was the 6" Imperial Godzilla my mom bought for me at a local thrift store. After that I got Trendmatser's 10" Spacegodzilla, 10" King Ghidorah, and the Godzilla Wars 40th Anniversary pack for christmas!

Funny thing too, I never saw the heisei series except for Godzilla 1984 and G vs Biollante at the time so I thought Spacegodzilla was made up, MOGERA being a Mechanized version of Gigan, why does Biollante have legs? and what the heck was up with Mechagodzilla and Anguirus?
