(comment) The company name was changed from Marusan to Maruzan on July 4, 1967. Since the company went bankrupt at the end of the following year in 1968, the Marzan period was about one and a half years. The manufacturer's logo was also changed from the capital letter SAN from the Marsan period to the lowercase letter san by dividing the red circle into upper and lower parts.
This coincides with the time when Ultra Seven and Captain Ultra were aired, so you can see many products with the Maruzan logo in these two movies. In the 1968 Maruzan catalog, Godzilla and Gomora are listed as 1,420 yen each, along with the Ultra Seven Video Seaver, in an advertisement for the unbreakable metal toy Bull Toy.
The changes to the walking tin are that the logo on the sole of the foot has been changed from Marusan to Maruzan, and although it is not included this time, the logo on the side of the box has also been changed. Another major difference is that the remote control is now made of blue or black plastic. There are remote control versions of both colors, but there is not much difference in number.
"Tin electric walking Godzilla richly colored" introduced in Mandarake ZENBU61 and 98 will also be sold during the Maruzan period.
Among the tin electric walking Godzillas that have been sold for more than 10 years, production was at its lowest during the Maruzan period, and in 1968, the first monster boom began to fade, so it was difficult to imagine mass production nearing bankruptcy. This is a must-have Maruzan version for those who want to list variations of the evolution of the manufacturer logo (Koshizaki)
