FYI I put corrections and updates in the descriptions of my video so it's a good habit to check it out. But in this case I'll pin it too so everyone will relax and enjoy the other 99.9% of the video ;) CORRECTIONS AND UPDATES: 9:00 - I accidentally refer to Jiger as a "he/his" several times although Jiger is female 11:55 - I SAID the right thing, but I showed the wrong figure. I showed the regular size anniversary figure (around 8 inches I'm told) but the one in the catalog is a larger version

Yeah, this toy line is so much as "not on the radar" for Kaiju fans, as opposed to just damn near impossible to find. I was never able to locate them. I find it strange that Barugon was not in the line with the other monsters, just like in the new anime show. Justice for Barugon. I do like the redesigns for the other monsters though.

One of the buildings or vehicles has dayglow dot of color in the window. The packaging has told you that's where the child that holds one of Gamera's glowing scales is. As friend to children everywhere, Gamera most protect that child from the enemy monster.

Do you mean the toyline or the show? Because "Towards the Future" was a massive success for Tsuburaya. In fact, it was their first hit since the 70s (I think the 1984 "Ultraman Zoffy" movie did pretty well too)! It didn't take off right away, but it became a huge success for them over the span of about two years. The second season of Great/Towards the Future got killed by the piss-poor quality of Ultraman Powered/The Ultimate Hero. Tsuburaya had been wanting to do an American co-production since the late 70s and based on Great's success, it was finally their big chance and they took it rather than continuing with Great. It could have paid off for them if they had done business with a company that knew what the hell it was doing.

I had that exact Gamera toy, the only piece of Gamera merchandise I would have as a kid. The same with that Godzilla toy, I damaged both their sound features by playing with the toys in the bathtub as a kid. The amount of fights I had those 2 get into was too many to count. I remember too that I pretty much got all my Godzilla toys at a nearby KBtoys that was next to a local Walmart. I also ended up getting a much bigger Godzilla figure there, this one was motion activated though, it had holes in the chest and when you moved in front of it, it would roar. Also ruined the sound for it by, you guessed it, playing with it in the bathtub. 😅

The biggest piece of info for me was about my favorite Kaiju, Kiryu (Mechagodzilla 3). Turns out that after Godzilla Final Wars, an Idea was pitched for Kiryu to have his whole solo film, the director of Godzilla against Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SoS submitted a fully written script for it. I honestly wish I could get my hands on that.

Since you’re practically an expert on Godzilla toys, I have some questions: 1: I saw the old ad for some of the Godzilla finger puppets, but two characters stood out: a spiky lizard like creature, with most of its body and one eye being robotic, and a silver Mothra lookin thing. Do you know who they are? The other question is about some little Godzilla figures from Bandai. All I know is their bodies are cubes, while their arms,legs,tails, and heads aren’t. I’ve also only seen Kiryu, a green Godzilla, and a Godzilla skeleton. Do you know any of these?

The sad thing is that you can tell they realized this line wasn't going to be successful by the lack of other accessories and feelies in the toyline. I'd imagine that's why they just used a sped up Godzilla roar. Like why bother contacting Gamera's production company for recordings of their sounds when you know the line was going to be so niche? Just take some other monster's sound, good enough. Also, now I wish they had the license for Tom and Jerry toys if ONLY to have a Tom with a sound function that's his famous "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" scream.
