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.
I remember seeing this in the early 2000s when I was a kid, I thought it was a bootleg, my first Godzilla toy was the Bandai Creation 1954 from 2002
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
@@malt6345nigelsimpson I think I’ve been there too, I live here in Florida and I remember going to a few different dinosaur attractions as a kid
I gave you 69 likes. Your welcome.
Unironically also my first Godzilla toy was also a 2000’s Godzilla figure I think or a 54 one
Mines was the Bandai Croatian 12’’ Godzilla 2004
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.
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.
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.
2:43 That's how I knew about Imperial. Those dinosaurs are so nostalgic.
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!
BRO I GOT ONE IN 2024🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
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
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
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...
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.
“Kid, just don’t try that with shin Godzilla”
Then I broke out wheezing on the floor.
MIB the living historian of Godzilla merch i didn't know about the inflatable Godzillas.
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.
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.
3:25 This godzilla figure is just, staring into our soul-
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 remember having toy dinosaurs from this VERY SAME COMPANY as a kid!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
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 got spoiled as a kid. Japanese imports were sold at a magical place call Mr. Big Toyland. I got the 1984 6 inch Godzilla and the 10 inch Godzilla from vs Kong. Figure was made in 1983.
I also remember having alot of there dinosaur toys.🙂🦕🦖
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.
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.
Ah God, that's my ultimate nightmare. Sorry that happened, hope you were able to get them back in some other form
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
That one with the silver chest was one of my first Godzilla toys
This toy really has a lot of charming features, i really wanna get one when i can in the future.
I also love how it's wearing red lipstick
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!
When I was little my brother told me godzillas chest was silver because he ate mechagodzilla
That is awesome. Props to your brother
Fr
I dunno why but watching MiBs neck flex under the mask to blow bubbles is hilarious to me
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!
I feel like just seeing that toy again unlocked some old, old memories and had long forgotten
"He KNOWS the internet's coming" got a good laugh outta me
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!
Yup! Imperial pretty much made up My Chilhood when it came to vintage dino toys back in the day.
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.
2:37 yo that two head dargon! my uncale had it and now its mine lol!
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 :)
I remember having both Godzilla & King Kong in that line.🙂
I had three or four bootleg ones from Thailand. The first one looked very similar to the 12 inch one, but maybe a tad bit smaller and slimmer. It slowly deteriorated away and eventually lost through shipping between me coming to America. The second one was the 6 inch one. No different but it also got lost through shipping. May or may not have another one of this. Not sure tho. The third or fourth one is that big one that looks like a cross between Imperial and Trend Master Godzilla. It actually successfully made it to America and is still with me 'til today
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
I remember seeing The Imperial 6ft inflatable Godzilla on the More Dinosaurs VHS.🙂
Oh yeah, I had plenty of the Imperial and “Imperial” Godzilla merch. I had the five foot inflatable, a couple of the articulated figures, one was marked Imperial and the others I’m sure were bootlegs. My favorite was the big 15 (?) inch Godzilla with the weird head Mohawk and yellow back. I did some research and it turns out he was a “fake”zilla by Dor Mei. Still my favorite, simply because he scaled the best with my other toys.
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!
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. 😢
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.
That Godzilla isn't shooting atomic breath....
He's shooting atomic bubbles!!
MIB… dude, i don’t even know where to start with this video 😳 First, excellent coverage, and absolutely hilarious, as always 👍 I did indeed have an Imperial Godzilla growing up (the 6” i think) and my older brother had the Hong Kong Gorilla, which is actually more of a jiggler than a figure, believe it or not 🤔 I also had a bunch of figures from not only Dragons, Knights and Daggers but also Imperial’s _other_ MOTU cash-in line, Robots, Lasers, and Galaxies, as well as their Prehistoric Replicas dinos. And man, I’ve wanted one of the inflatable Gojis ever since i was a kid, but now i totally want that bubble blower too 😆 Speaking of the inflatable, one also appears in the truly awful Godzilla spoof/stoner movie “Ganjasaurus” 😅 And props to shouting out Plaid Stallions, owner Brian is an amazingly nice guy with an awesome site and YT channel, and has been killing it with the outstanding vintage toy books & magazines he has been producing 😎 Now if you’ll excuse me, i’m off to follow Imperial’s suggestion and apply stickers to my ears… and my flowerpots 😋
lol thanks Gappa!!
So of course everyone remembers the Godzilla in the show Roseanne, but one of my favorite placements of the imperial Godzilla toy that a lot of people forget is in Murphy Brown! Go look at her office in the first few seasons you'll see a Godzilla with a pencil through its mouth
I had both the Godzilla Action figures and the bop bag at one point. Bop Bag popped though.
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.
Totally knew a kid growing up who had the bootleg at 3:00. We used to make good use of that guy along side his other action figures.
There was also an Imperial Godzilla toy behind George's desk in Seinfeld
Is that Mothra!?
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. :(
Ty for the Heart Mr. MIB. Ty for noticing my trip down memory lane with wacky colored dinosaurs.
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 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.
lol 😂 ♥️
I wish I still had my Godzilla figure it was fun to play with good times and thank you bringing the good memories
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)
"A company that was founded on April 1, 1969." That's... the best date to found a company. Ever. Of all time. Suck it, 2/22/2022.
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
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.
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.
Those look really cool! I don't recall those being available in the UK, pretty sure I'd have had at least one of those if they had been.
I really want the bubble blowing one and the inflatable, don't care what size, although I'm stupidly short so probably the 5' one!
Cheers!
When I was 5 year old I became obsessed with Godzilla. And in the same year I got the 12 inch Imperial Godzilla for Christmas. Although it's slightly worn and lost some of the green color, it still holdups. Even many rough years and play sessions later.
8:17 "I want my money, kid!!!"
Hey i had one of these once it was in the Tybee Island Surf shop that had hermit crabs and stuff.
10:13 Now that brings me back some memories.
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.
7:00, 1984 Godzilla?
7:16, Godzilla 1984 vs 70's Mecha G?
11:05, 1,3,9,10!! YOU'RE OUT!! Winner and new CHAMPEEN - DAFFY DUCK!
11:27, patty cake, patty cake!
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 remember I'd always freak out seeing those imperial Godzilla's in Armageddon.
Like a call out.
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.
You ok? D:
@@dubuyajay9964 That was years ago. Foot's fine.
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
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.
I wish I had one of those big Imperial Godzilla figures. I wish they still made the giant inflatable Godzillas because I want one now
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 RUclips police.
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.
As a kid, my godfather bought me the 12 inch imperial and that exact same finned bootleg Godzilla you showed (maybe 14 inches) and I loved them so much that the toys got me into watching the films. This was such a rush of nostalgia
That Godzilla bubble blower is adorable
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.
I remember getting one in Brazil back in the early 2000s, or leate 90s, i dont remember well, but i still have it, the difference was it didnt have thet wierd lip painting
There’s also the some of the Trend masters Godzilla toys in the movie Independence Day
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 will always fondly remember the Imperial Godzilla toy I got since it was the first Godzilla toy I ever owned
11:27 living the absolute dream
These are so classic
3:20 😃I actually had the big 12 inch one with the silver spray painted chest!!! Lol memories...
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 think i had one of the imperial godzillas when i was young. i do know i had some imperial dino toys though thanks for doing this video MIB keep up the great work
I had the smaller Imperial Godzilla in 1988, I loved it!
My first Godzilla toys were based on the '98 movie but one birthday, I got one based on the _real_ Godzilla, which I initially thought was an Imperial Godzilla figure, until years later when I found out it was unfortunately, a bootleg. It might've been made by the same guys who made the "pre-cyborg" Gigan bootlegs since they look so similar in sculpts.
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.
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.
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.
I was born in the 2000s so these are new to me . Mob I like your MASK!
