Description:

Godzilla First US Release. Mattel no. 2440. Nice original 1977 made in USA Godzilla. All Original with the box, inserts and instructions. The US release of Godzilla was the shortest Shogun Warrior coming in at 19 1/2" while the other Shoguns were more in the 23" size; and he didn't come with any interesting projectiles or weapons. To make up for the shortcoming, Godzilla's fist fired off as a projectile! He also has a red lever protruding from the back of his head that extended a "tongue" of flames. Godzilla's arms and legs can be re-positioned, but his head was motionless (held on the body by visible screws). His feet has yellow claws screwed to their bottoms that contain wheels for scooting the King of Monsters across the floor. The first release was made with a much lighter and brighter green plastic, was painted (the eyes and mouth) very brightly, and had weights in the bottom of its legs. The yellow plastic claw/foot bottoms has a reinforced ring that inserts into holes in Godzilla's legs (the weights reside in these inserts) - this version also has "Japan" on the bottom while the later versions had "USA." Also, the tail has a tab that slips into a slot, presumably so it would line-up correctly to the body but at some point removed.
