Mattell Shogun Godzilla ( ゴジラ, Gojira ) 1978 tv commercial

[mrronin2012]

i had one of these toys when i was younger-i would like to know if ANYONE in this big world would still have an exact replica-shooting fist-and fireery toungemy e-mail is roncrosebrook@hotmail.ca

Not Godzilla!! Dickzilla maybe!!

[FiendsInRedSatin1]

That brings back the memories. I had one of those back in the day and loved it.

The reason why Godzilla had a launching claw was because the toy was released with the Shogun Warrior robot collection. The SW's had all kinds of missiles and stuff that launched so to put Godzilla in with them meant he had to have something that could launch with enough power to maim somebody's little sister. Thus the launching claw was born. There's no way a toy like that would be released now.

[DavidTRichard]

They weren't even releasing Godzilla movies overseas in the 70s, I thought...why bother exporting the toys? Weird.

[FiendsInRedSatin1]

@DavidTRichard "Godzilla" films did make overseas to the U.S. back in the 1970's. I recall seeing "Godzilla vs. Megalon" back at a drive-in in the late '70's.

[terrondt]

lol, i had several of these in the late 1970's. sure it was a cheezy stiff toy but i did not care. loved godzilla then and now.

[gan0nghid0rah]

I got to say the Mattel Shogun Godzilla toy is the WORST Godzilla toy I ever saw.

It doesn't look a thing like Godzilla...and a Launching Claw?! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!

FAIL!!!

[FamilyOfMan1975]

WTF?  A launching claw??!!??!

[Snapscape]

I had Shogun Godzilla. He was my last Shogun Warrior character.

[roymeboy0]

WOW!! I bought this from a car boot sale last spring for £2.00 he as never been removed from box!!! Great toy.

[drbotanus]

I still have two. there were two different versions made. And Rodan also. Mattel was so cool importing those Japanese toys. But each season they would make them cheaper and crappier.

Ouch!! My hand shot off!!!

[MrBarkerboy]

What happend to godzilla`s face!

[scramyou]

Yes..he does look more like his son then himself..lol. I rember this toy though. My brother didn't want it becuase he said it "Looked goofy".

[razgriz76]

WOWWEE.  I still have this thing. Awesome...

[kaidose]

You can pretend godzilla turns a mighty castle into a pile of sand, you control godzillas UGLY tongue, you can make him stomp, pound his tail, pretending he strikes at all in his way, you can launch godzillas claw for the final blow, what will godzilla do next? wonder why his hand came off.

[schwoogie78]

i don't recall Godzilla having a launching claw

[HorusRising]

Yup.....he did. This came out around the same time as the Shogun Warriors; they had the same feature.

[toddz1972]

kids don't have to use their imaginations today like they used to,now kids have Playstations and X Boxes e.t.c. .

[360whiplash]

I used to have this toy!! I wish I still had it, it must be worth a fortune now.

[markVIIchick]

Yes it does, I've seen one on Ebay go for $500+

[Gaos03]

Remember how Godzilla always shoots his tongue out or how he shoots his hands off in his films? I sure do not.

[Dinobot2468]

i think the shooting hand is supposed to symbalise a punch

[IsawaMitaka]

The "ugly tongue" was supposed to represent Big G's atomic breath. I loved this toy as a kid!

[gvader]

I still have this toy!

[ritt75]

scary looking s.o.b.

[MOY025]

ha ha ha ha! "With a tail that launches, You control his Tongue" LMAO!

[FurryFoolURMine]

Don't let this fool you it's really MechaGodzilla!!

[Syntox]

I HAD this toy! What a flashback...although for the life of me I STILL can't figure out why Godzilla has a shooting fist...genius!

[V3n0mCarna93]

What a faggot toy...

[Tenric]

I had this commercial embedded in my memories from the tender age of 3 and I'm thankful for an invention like You Tube because memeories are so precious to me.
