Whilst checking if there was ever a toy released on the back of the movie Cloverfield I came across this tongue in cheek 'review' on You Tube from the winter of 2008, roughly when I launched this blog!
The creator, robbjmc, deploys as many plastic Kaiju this side of Toho studios in a mad stop-motion romp around New York, the home of all American monsters.
The six minute film builds up to the inevitable big dukeroo. Yep, its the Hasbro Cloverfield V the Trendmasters Godzilla.
Other notable mentions include the Mattel Shogun Warriors Godzilla with his lashing red tongue, the Giant Robot and a spitting Mothra toy unknown to me.
Its good to see an ameteur film-maker having fun with his toys. After watching this I know I'm not alone!
Let me know what you think of this movie readers?
Have you got any Kaiju?
There's a rare gem in this mix.The toy doing battle with the Shogun Godzilla is called Earthtron and is from the Ultraman TV series.That toy has a spring loaded arm that throws a ball and I've never even seen one in person,let alone owned one.I took some photos of my Kaiju room and I'll send them to you shortly.I'm frustrated because the room is not well lit and I'm not a great photographer but it is a good introduction to a room that always amazes company.
ReplyDeleteThat's fascinating about Earthtron Brian. Never heard of it. It reminds me of the Armatron toy by radio Shack from the 80's. Thanks for the Kaiju pics. All received. They look grrrrrrreat!
