"This is the final baby I've seen - the Beetle. Interesting that they all have Japanese military markings - I suppose Godzilla is a persistent threat. By the way, haven't seen any Hong Kong versions of this one. Sean"
Beautiful! No, I've not seen a Hong Kong toy version. There's a bigger SPIN Z version. I suppose the UK version of Godzilla was GORGO. Anyone remember that film? I imagine we blasted it with lots of Cheiftain tank shells and police bobbies' truncheons to finish him off!

I thought Gorgo was American?
What about Digby the Biggest Dog in the World. Didn't they send in the RAF to deal with his flea problem?

theres more than a touch of Marx Moon Grabbers here - i wonder if they all depend from some original NASA concept ?
I love Japanese SF kits. It's interesting how the box art on a kit's original release will often portray it as simply a futuristic military vehicle while later releases will feature it as an anti monster weapon or space exploration vehicle.
