(comment) The main body and remote control are made of tin. The dorsal fin and lower jaw are made of polystyrene. Marsan's first tin character toy is Godzilla, the king of monsters. It was released in 1964, 10 years after the first Godzilla was released in 1954. The tin toy was introduced at a time when Godzilla's popularity was growing even more, with the release of Godzilla vs. King Kong in 1962, Mothra vs. Godzilla in 1964, and The Greatest Battle on Earth. Sales period is from 1964 to 1966.
No. 360 under the Marusan logo on the side of the box is a serial number common to all Marusan toys. On the opposite side of the box, there is a print of ?1966 under the Toho mark, which is two years from 1964, when the electric walking Godzilla was released. It was first published in Tokyo Toy Shoho, an industry magazine for toy stores at the time, in December 1966, and when I checked monthly magazines such as Shonen Gaho and Magazine Shonen that were released from 1964 to 1966, I found that there were soft vinyl and plastic models published, but I couldn't confirm that there were any tinplate Godzillas published. Also, the plastic model of Godzilla sold in 1964 has ?1964 written below the Toho mark. Based on this information, it is said that the tin version will be released a few months after the plastic model version was delayed, but it may have been a little later.
A cardboard spacer to hold the head is included in the box, and a piece of paper that shows the direction of the battery is included in the remote control box.
Electric walking Godzilla was one of the most popular character tinplates and was sold for over 10 years from 1964 until 1977 when Bullmark went bankrupt. Add the earliest item in the history of monster toys to your collection (Koshizaki)
