You're right! That IS my Godzilla! I still have it, and relatively recently picked up the Imperial King Kong to go with him. My Imperial spent many hours smashing up Micro Machine playsets.
Bro same I went to this place called dinosaur in Orlando and me and my family went to the gift shop and I remember loosing my shit when I saw the same Godzilla toy I think I was like 6 or 5 in the 2000s
These things are incredibly nostalgic. A smile appears on my face whenever they appear on one of your episodes of the show. Been a fan is 2011, never stop uploading!
Oh my God, I remember having one of those toys years ago. I tried looking for these toys about 2 years ago, but since I didn’t know who made them, I couldn’t find them. Now thanks to you MIB, I’m going to find it and try to get one. You have a super rush of nostalgia. Thank you MIB.
I had the 6 and 12 inch figure, the 12 inch knockoff without the dorsal plates, the King Kong, the 2 headed dragon, AND Frankenstein's Monster (...and a bunch of Imperial dinosaurs). Before I even knew about Frankenstein Conquers the World, I'd pretend F's M was Kaiju sized and would battle (with and against) Godzilla and the other dinosaurs and monsters. My sister and I would play this game where we'd go through this chest that had all the dinos/monsters/etc one by one like a draft. Then we'd each choose a one at random to do battle. Every battle ended in a tie, though, when they'd finish each other off simultaneously with a tail spin/drop kick/special move. It was like Pokemon before Pokemon. Thanks for hitting me in the nostalgia this afternoon, MIB :)
Dude you nailed it. That 6 inch figure was my first Godzilla toy 30 years ago. Still have it (sits proudly with my other figures). I would always try to bend the jaw into lining up.
So the first Godzilla toys I ever had we actually my brothers. I was still a baby in a crib when my mom took us to a flea market and my brother grabbed an Imperial 6in Godzilla and a duck billed Dino they made too. My mom saw how much he liked them and found some VHSs as well. Godzilla vs Mothra, Godzilla vs The Sea Monster, and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. So the Big G has been in my life literally from the beginning! I still have the the VHSs and toys too!
I've still got mine from Christmas when I was three. And man even after all these years I still love it. I took that big guy with me everywhere for like years I even dusted him off and took him with me when I saw Godzilla 2000 in theaters. He's enjoying retirement on my shelf next to my game consoles.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was born in 1985, and the six-inch Imperial Godzilla toy is absolutely the oldest possession I still have, and my most treasured! I first learned about Godzilla in conversation in kindergarten, my parents deigned to rent "Godzilla 1985" from the video store afterwards to show me what it really was; and after I psycho-zealously glommed onto the big G, they bought me this toy. The rest is a long history of me spending the rest of my childhood building big Lego cities to have this guy destroy with his five points of articulation, then retiring him to place of honour on my shelves, which he still holds to this day...
I owned a bootleg version of the imperial figure, my dad got it for me from a Mexican flea market when I was 5 or 6 years old (1999-2000) It was 12 inches tall and resembled Godzilla from the Heisei era. It was one of my absolute favorite childhood toys growing up, putting it through so much abuse playing with it. I spent a good few years trying to find the exact same one I had as kid, Until recently finding him in a lot with a officially license imperial Godzilla. Now they both have a prominent place in my collection.
The lipstick is supposed to be blood, or maybe even gums** lol this was also my first Godzilla and I still have him, heavily worn from many pool, backyard, and living room battles. I just wish I had more of my trendmasters
I had a T-Rex back in 2002. I remember because I got it as a gift from Christmas trolls in my shoe.😄 Me and my family were practicing an Icelandic tradition, whereby you leave out food for Christmas trolls to get presents. Oh, the memories!
A few yrs ago i bought the 12 inch imperial one for just $10 since its been on sale for a long time and nobody wants it, plus there's a small hole on the tail part. Its now on our garden and i may have to put it on my display cab since Mr Fred Kort's story (the founder of Imperial) was amazing and i had a newfound respect for it
The Imperial godzilla is one of my first godzilla figures I ever played with. My father found it and Texas and gave it to me when he came back from the war. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time.
Uh, i remember seeing one of this figures in Cinemassacers Godzilla Raids Again video (Godzillathon 2008, btw.) Watched that like 2 years ago. Still waiting for Mexican GvK toys. I also remember that Inflatable Godzilla appeared in 1998's "Armagedon" at very beginning. Also, will you do a Jurassic World toys by Mattel review? (I seen them in background at 11:29)
I've always loved the Imperial figures. The 6 inch Godzilla has been hanging out on a shelf in my bedroom for years. No matter where I move to, this Godzilla will always have a spot somewhere to be displayed out in the open.
I didnt know who Godzilla was but had one of these, pretended it was just a regular dinosaur (jurassic Park junkie). One Day i was playing with my dinosaurs (i was 5) and my dad was bored watching movies. He switched through the channels until it landed on Godzilla 2000, i looked at the screen, i looked at the toy, i looked at the screen, i looked at the toy and my life was never the same. Godzilla was my entry drug into being a big nerd, and i love it.
the figure you shows at 3:00 is one that a friend of my family gave to me a few years ago. I used to play with it as a kid because I loved Godzilla and even without the dorsal plates I could recognize that it was a Godzilla toy. I still have it today.
I think some places still have surplus of the Imperial godzilla. There is a science surplus store in Milwaukee that to my knowledge still sells them in the old Imperial display box as well.
Yep, the 6 inch scale figure was my first Godzilla toy as well. Got it for Christmas in 1996 from my grandparents and I still have it, though it's seen better days. A lot of fond memories of this thing.
I didn’t have any of Imperial’s Godzilla toys growing up, but I definitely had their rubbery, rigid, bizarrely colored dinosaurs. Had a 4 or 5 inch brown and green t-rex and a deep blue and purple apatosaurus.
Oh man I was at a flee market out here in la and they had a full booth filled with these and a few other old Godzilla merch, I think I even saw the first rodan toy their.
Mothra: "Oh no, it's Giant Godzilla!" Godzilla: "Isn't 'Giant Godzilla' rather redun-?" sees inflatable Godzilla Mecha Goddilla: "Wait, if Godzilla is usually around 80 meters tall, how high up is that guy?" Godzilla: "I need a drink." switches to bubble blower Godzilla
1:26 the 6-inch figure is my very first Godzilla toy. The former wife of an uncle of mine gave it to me after finding it in the laundry room where she lived. From there, the rest is history. I was born in the late 90s, btw.
The funny thing I bought one 6 years ago and it was super cheap. It was 5 bucks at a garage sale. The dude said he didn’t know what it was or how much it was worth so I gave him the money and grabbed goji and ran home! It’s still in my room today.
1:29 I still have that bigger Imperial Godzilla figure on my shelf! When I was little, I accidently stabbed my foot by stepping on one of the dorsal fins. A little splotch of red is still on it's back to this day.
There’s an Imperial Godzilla figure on top of the refrigerator in the break room on the police drama show “Homicide: Life On The Street” from the same people who made The Wire. I used to watch Homicide with my mom when i was little and have the entire series on dvd. That’s where I remember seeing it as a kid.
I'm a '90s kid so most of my exposure to Godzilla growing up was with Trendmasters, but I do remember my uncle having the 6" figure on display in his living room atop the TV, and I saw a kid at the grocery store with one of the 13" figures that I got extremely jealous of (but now don't have to be as I picked up my own on eBay). I love the 6ft inflatable, and the sculpts for the 6" and 13" figures are actually surprisingly really decent (even if the paint job is questionable). It's cool to see that the line did actually have some tie-ins to Godzilla 1985. Plus, they paved the way for TM to come in which is admirable in its own right. Great video as always!
Man I had so much of that stuff when I was a kid. Unfortunately a Monster flood took 90% of my figure, toy and card collection in 2002 (Even the plastic toys couldn't be saved. Sewage flood). Nice to see them in a video.
Dude I had a lot of imperial toys: the two headed dragon, King Kong, and of course the big Godzilla which I still have (I also still have that yellow headed dinosaur lol) when I was a kid I had the smaller ones, I lost one and another was chewed up by the family dog lol)
Yes that was my Godzilla! My mom told me that it was extremely hard to find any Godzilla toys in the 80s. She only ever found 2 of the 12 inchers, and my dog ate half of one... but I still played with him as "Battle Damaged Godzilla"! :) I also had that 2 headed dragon, I used him as my discount Ghidorah.
Could you imagine playing detective with the Godzilla bubble bower? like "Elementary, my dear Jet Jaguar, I've solved the case". Thanks for the fun video.
Hey i actually had that imperial mecha godzilla with a bootleg imperial godzilla and kong. I used to play with them often but i am not sure what happened to them (i think my parents given them away when we were shifting houses) Also i got them as birthday presents from my uncle not sure where he bought them from.
2:42 MIB! I had some of the dinos in that box! I bought them separately, but I had them! I would often play with them together with my Dino Riders! I wish I still had them. :(
For me this is pure nostalgia! My first Big-G toy was one of the 12 inches figurine! According to my parents they wanted to buy me a inflatable big one, but as a 2/3 years old, i took one of the 12 inches toy, and didnt let go. That i didnt let go, its the only thing i know, cause i still have it today.
Lol I had the 6 foot inflatable Godzilla when I was a kid but had to return him after about a week since he had a hole in his dorsal plates. Still have the 12 inch imperial Godzilla to this day and even customized him to look like Goji55 for one of my stop motion projects haha. Keep up the great work man
I think the most amazing thing about this video is how long it took for you to to get to it! My little brother recently bought this for my birthday last year because it was my childhood Godzilla. It's crazy how expensive they are now! It's a legitimate collector's item. I used to see them at Toys r us, everywhere really.
I actually owned those two 12” bootleg Godzillas, when I was a kid. I also owned both the 6” and 12” Imperial Godzillas, as well as the official Imperial Kong. These toy retrospectives are always fascinating. Great stuff, MiB!
still have my imperial 12" Godzilla figure, my parents bought it for me as a gift around the 90's when i was starting to get into Godzilla so literally it was my first Godzilla figure. Right now is on top of my desk in front of Neca's 12" Godzilla 2014, boy what a change to see them side by side. But still the imperial is still my favorite.
That red and black Godzilla knockoff you showed off early on was my first Godzilla toy ever! Sure it was an unofficial Chinese knockoff but back in the day I was just happy to have something. I still have it!
I know how it feels to get light headed when inflating an inflatable with your mouth. It sucks, takes forever, and it can give you headache. But it's so cool to see all these new Godzilla merchandise that they sold back when my parents were kids. It makes me nostalgic and miss the good old days when every little thing was sensored by the TH-cam police.
2:46 I had that same Godzilla knock-off toy. Actually got rid of it last year, before finally getting my first two Godzilla NECA figures for Christmas.
My dad and uncles must have bought the 6ft inflatable at least 9 times. There was ALWAYS some sort of leak...even when we patched it . The 12 inch figure I got during the best Christmas I ever had. It was the last one my parents were together for. Beings back bittersweet memories
Not a comment on this video, but just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your content and it brings me joy to see a notification about new updates. Thanks, man.
The 12 inch Godzilla was one of the first toys I ever had. My cat ended up chewing off two fingers though. Also there's a great photo of the band Megadeth with the inflatable Godzilla in place of their then drummer Gar Samuelson.
OMG that large Imperial Godzilla was in my family until it got lost/given away when we moved to a new town! Nostalgia indeed as it was my main Godzilla toy and the largest toy in my possession and always fun to use him to demolish my other toys. Pretty sure he was a China bootleg cause his tail had a extra length to it and a section that twisted to move it sideways plus he was about the size as the Kong you showed in the video. Wanna find it currently to add it back to my collection buy I assume even a bootleg version is pretty expensive.
Still have my big red splotchy chested Godzilla from when I was 7-8 years old in the before times known as the late 90's. My first action figure ever and the one piece I'll never get rid of.
Seeing that bubble blower makes me think for a gag character that’s like “fancy mib” which is just mib in a bath robe like he’s Hefner or whatever and he’s using the bubble blower as a pipe.
I never had any Godzilla toys growing up (apart from something from the US animated series, I think), but Portland, has a huge retro culture. If you walk down the right block, you'll come across retro outfitters, retro toy and game retailers, and maybe a retro style arcade. So I never had them, but I grew up seeing them everywhere. Lol
You can tell the eyes on the toys are hand painted, they really went over the lines on that coloring book. Probably was a quick assembly line job, just this one guy painting one large blotch of white around where the eye is.
03:00 I can't believe it X) I bought the exact same toy years ago on a street market, and was always wondering if it was a Godzilla or not, were/when it came from!
I believe one of my earliest Godzillas was the 12” imperial, my dad bought it for me at an outdoor flea market when was I wee kiddie. Had so much fun with it for the years I had it!
2:53 Have that exact figure sitting in my living room, went to find it after seeing it in the video. Thing is still actually in great shape with no paint chipping. Always assumed it was some knock off Godzilla. Label on the foot says "1997, Made in China, Dormei"
I was born in the early 2000s so needless to say I didn't know anything about Imperial Godzilla merchandise. I was more obsessed with the Bandai Creations figures that were being sold in stores at the time. But when I was three years old there was an Imperial Godzilla figure in my preschool class and my teacher who was aware of my Godzilla obsession let me have it. It's been in my collection ever since.
I’ve never had a Godzilla toy, but I remember back in kindergarten one of the teachers at my elementary school had an Imperial Diplocaulus (a prehistoric amphibian with a hammerhead) in the toy collection
I was born in the 2000s, my dad got it probably becasue i got into godzilla and thought it was cool. I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't Bandai. now I have way more respect for it
I still have my 12 inch Imperial Godzilla from when I was a kid unfortunately I lost his tail😢 so I'm always on the lookout. I also have my original vhs's that spawned my love for Goji. Which is probably why megalon holds a special place in my❤
So Big G got his lipstick from the same shop as the Creature from the Black Lagoon from his movie poster? Wacky. Another awesome video, MIB! Oh, and sweetie, you might want to keep that bike pump or something for the inflatable toys. You sound like you're going to blow out a lung.
I still have my six inch Imperial figure. Gramps gave it to me at the same time he gave me my first Godzilla movie on VHS. Godzilla vs. Megalon. Gramps, thanks. I miss you down here.
The 12 Inch Imperial Godzilla! Yeah I have him. When my son was 2 years old he saw it on display said, "Dinosaur Monster!" and I was like "yeah, that's Godzilla". I wrote a a college essay about how much I love my Godzilla and that normal kids had soft teddy bears meanwhile I'd sleep with my hard plastic Godzilla. Can you believe that paper got published, anyway, I still have that Godzilla. No he is not covered in crayon doodles or ruined in any way. I was never that kind of kid nor am I as an adult. My Son, now 10, has also treated that same Godzilla with respect. maybe he'll pass it down to his kid, only time will tell. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Also I have that Dinosaur set XD "Enjoy The Hunting Life! G!!!" -Instructor
In addition I had the inflatable Godzilla, not sure the size, but eventually broke I believe. I think my brother shot it with a Bow & Arrow. I use to use him a flotation device when swimming.
I still have my Imperial Godzilla. I will always cherish him since he was my first Godzilla toy. The silver on his chest made me think it was Mechagodzilla in disguise. Had the four foot inflatable Godzilla too, and kids jumped on him and popped him. I was a sad panda. 😢
I keep waiting to see the figure my dad gifted me, maybe I'll get brave and ask on instagram. Thank you for your hilariously educational reviews! I always learn!
Wonder if the Godzilla club at Godzilla Prime's house will use Bubble Godzilla for.. well you know. Edit: 8:55 also that Godzilla must be Shakira cause those hips don’t lie..

According to my parents they wanted to buy me a inflatable big one, but as a 2/3 years old, i took one of the 12 inches toy, and didnt let go.
That i didnt let go, its the only thing i know, cause i still have it today.
3:25 This godzilla figure is just, staring into our soul-
Lol I had the 6 foot inflatable Godzilla when I was a kid but had to return him after about a week since he had a hole in his dorsal plates. Still have the 12 inch imperial Godzilla to this day and even customized him to look like Goji55 for one of my stop motion projects haha. Keep up the great work man
I think the most amazing thing about this video is how long it took for you to to get to it! My little brother recently bought this for my birthday last year because it was my childhood Godzilla. It's crazy how expensive they are now! It's a legitimate collector's item. I used to see them at Toys r us, everywhere really.
3:20 😃I actually had the big 12 inch one with the silver spray painted chest!!! Lol memories...
I had both the Godzilla Action figures and the bop bag at one point. Bop Bag popped though.
I actually owned those two 12” bootleg Godzillas, when I was a kid. I also owned both the 6” and 12” Imperial Godzillas, as well as the official Imperial Kong. These toy retrospectives are always fascinating. Great stuff, MiB!
10:13 Now that brings me back some memories.
I dunno why but watching MiBs neck flex under the mask to blow bubbles is hilarious to me
still have my imperial 12" Godzilla figure, my parents bought it for me as a gift around the 90's when i was starting to get into Godzilla so literally it was my first Godzilla figure. Right now is on top of my desk in front of Neca's 12" Godzilla 2014, boy what a change to see them side by side. But still the imperial is still my favorite.
That red and black Godzilla knockoff you showed off early on was my first Godzilla toy ever! Sure it was an unofficial Chinese knockoff but back in the day I was just happy to have something. I still have it!
I know how it feels to get light headed when inflating an inflatable with your mouth. It sucks, takes forever, and it can give you headache. But it's so cool to see all these new Godzilla merchandise that they sold back when my parents were kids. It makes me nostalgic and miss the good old days when every little thing was sensored by the TH-cam police.
12:00 Wait a minute...THERE'S A SPACE BIG FELLA IN ARMAGEDDON
2:46 I had that same Godzilla knock-off toy. Actually got rid of it last year, before finally getting my first two Godzilla NECA figures for Christmas.
My dad and uncles must have bought the 6ft inflatable at least 9 times. There was ALWAYS some sort of leak...even when we patched it .
The 12 inch figure I got during the best Christmas I ever had. It was the last one my parents were together for. Beings back bittersweet memories
I was never a big Godzilla fan, to be honest. But, seriously, your videos are so entertaining that i'm kinda interested in Godzilla stuff!
Not a comment on this video, but just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your content and it brings me joy to see a notification about new updates. Thanks, man.
Hey i had one of these once it was in the Tybee Island Surf shop that had hermit crabs and stuff.
8:17 "I want my money, kid!!!"
The 12 inch Godzilla was one of the first toys I ever had. My cat ended up chewing off two fingers though. Also there's a great photo of the band Megadeth with the inflatable Godzilla in place of their then drummer Gar Samuelson.
I also remember having alot of there dinosaur toys.🙂🦕🦖
Yup! Imperial pretty much made up My Chilhood when it came to vintage dino toys back in the day.
I wish I still had my Godzilla figure it was fun to play with good times and thank you bringing the good memories
3:00 I had this since I was little. My dad got it for me and 18 years later I still do
OMG that large Imperial Godzilla was in my family until it got lost/given away when we moved to a new town! Nostalgia indeed as it was my main Godzilla toy and the largest toy in my possession and always fun to use him to demolish my other toys. Pretty sure he was a China bootleg cause his tail had a extra length to it and a section that twisted to move it sideways plus he was about the size as the Kong you showed in the video. Wanna find it currently to add it back to my collection buy I assume even a bootleg version is pretty expensive.
Still have my big red splotchy chested Godzilla from when I was 7-8 years old in the before times known as the late 90's. My first action figure ever and the one piece I'll never get rid of.
Seeing that bubble blower makes me think for a gag character that’s like “fancy mib” which is just mib in a bath robe like he’s Hefner or whatever and he’s using the bubble blower as a pipe.
The only Imperial Godzilla figure that I currently own is the 6-inch figure that I found at a Goodwill oh so many years ago!
I never had any Godzilla toys growing up (apart from something from the US animated series, I think), but Portland, has a huge retro culture. If you walk down the right block, you'll come across retro outfitters, retro toy and game retailers, and maybe a retro style arcade. So I never had them, but I grew up seeing them everywhere. Lol
You can tell the eyes on the toys are hand painted, they really went over the lines on that coloring book. Probably was a quick assembly line job, just this one guy painting one large blotch of white around where the eye is.
"He KNOWS the internet's coming" got a good laugh outta me
There's been so many episodes of this and we've never learn something new
03:00 I can't believe it X) I bought the exact same toy years ago on a street market, and was always wondering if it was a Godzilla or not, were/when it came from!
I believe one of my earliest Godzillas was the 12” imperial, my dad bought it for me at an outdoor flea market when was I wee kiddie. Had so much fun with it for the years I had it!
6:10 Why Do I Get The Feeling That This Is The Thing MIB Uses To Smoke His Weed While Thinking Of His Next Video Idea?
SAME
I was born in the 2000s so these are new to me . Mob I like your MASK!
Awesome!! My first godzilla 🐲 I love the info about the owner! Great video.
2:53 Have that exact figure sitting in my living room, went to find it after seeing it in the video. Thing is still actually in great shape with no paint chipping. Always assumed it was some knock off Godzilla. Label on the foot says "1997, Made in China, Dormei"
Same, mine is at home too. pretty neat figure tbh
I was born in the early 2000s so needless to say I didn't know anything about Imperial Godzilla merchandise. I was more obsessed with the Bandai Creations figures that were being sold in stores at the time. But when I was three years old there was an Imperial Godzilla figure in my preschool class and my teacher who was aware of my Godzilla obsession let me have it. It's been in my collection ever since.
I will always fondly remember the Imperial Godzilla toy I got since it was the first Godzilla toy I ever owned
I’ve never had a Godzilla toy, but I remember back in kindergarten one of the teachers at my elementary school had an Imperial Diplocaulus (a prehistoric amphibian with a hammerhead) in the toy collection
6:45 I remember seeing that 302 anguirus figure at the bowerbird exhibit at the Calacademy
I was born in the 2000s, my dad got it probably becasue i got into godzilla and thought it was cool. I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't Bandai. now I have way more respect for it
I still have my 12 inch Imperial Godzilla from when I was a kid unfortunately I lost
his tail😢 so I'm always on the lookout. I also have my original vhs's that spawned my love for Goji. Which is probably why megalon holds a special place in my❤
11:27 living the absolute dream
@12:02 not just Imperial Godzilla toys but also the SpaceGodzilla Big Fella bootleg!
So Big G got his lipstick from the same shop as the Creature from the Black Lagoon from his movie poster? Wacky.
Another awesome video, MIB!
Oh, and sweetie, you might want to keep that bike pump or something for the inflatable toys. You sound like you're going to blow out a lung.
There’s also the some of the Trend masters Godzilla toys in the movie Independence Day
I still have my six inch Imperial figure. Gramps gave it to me at the same time he gave me my first Godzilla movie on VHS. Godzilla vs. Megalon. Gramps, thanks. I miss you down here.
The 12 Inch Imperial Godzilla! Yeah I have him. When my son was 2 years old he saw it on display said, "Dinosaur Monster!" and I was like "yeah, that's Godzilla". I wrote a a college essay about how much I love my Godzilla and that normal kids had soft teddy bears meanwhile I'd sleep with my hard plastic Godzilla. Can you believe that paper got published, anyway, I still have that Godzilla. No he is not covered in crayon doodles or ruined in any way. I was never that kind of kid nor am I as an adult. My Son, now 10, has also treated that same Godzilla with respect. maybe he'll pass it down to his kid, only time will tell. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Also I have that Dinosaur set XD
"Enjoy The Hunting Life! G!!!" -Instructor
In addition I had the inflatable Godzilla, not sure the size, but eventually broke I believe. I think my brother shot it with a Bow & Arrow. I use to use him a flotation device when swimming.
I still have my Imperial Godzilla. I will always cherish him since he was my first Godzilla toy. The silver on his chest made me think it was Mechagodzilla in disguise. Had the four foot inflatable Godzilla too, and kids jumped on him and popped him. I was a sad panda. 😢
That Godzilla isn't shooting atomic breath....
He's shooting atomic bubbles!!
I keep waiting to see the figure my dad gifted me, maybe I'll get brave and ask on instagram. Thank you for your hilariously educational reviews! I always learn!
Wonder if the Godzilla club at Godzilla Prime's house will use Bubble Godzilla for.. well you know.
Edit: 8:55 also that Godzilla must be Shakira cause those hips don’t lie..
