THE PALMER GORGO AND CHUMS! CAN YOU NAME THEM?

1964 gave us these US unbreakable movie monsters. Such was Gorgo's monster chops at the time he got top spot on the header card! Move over Gojira! [is there a Palmer Godzilla?]

Gorgy is in green top left. Palmer plastics of Brooklyn NYC made these brilliant mini-monsters. They came in many colours and I imagine are very collectable in the US as these are all auction pics.

Can you name them all here readers?

California's Diener Industries carried on the good work in rubber too - I think later - but I think they left out the British Godzilla!

Can you name all these? and is there a Japanese Godzilla?

Have any monster rubbers?

SPACE RAIDERS 1978

I saw this news release for Deiner Space Raiders online and thought I'd post it.

These papers are from  early 1978. I assume these were rushed out to cash in on Star Wars the year before.

The order form and new release appear to be both for same trader, R.E.Mills of Ohio. Diener themselves were based in Chatsworth, California with a showroom in New York.

I see these erasers all the time online although I don't recall seeing them around in the late Sevenrties here in Blighty.

I have a feeling the figures are inspired by space movie monsters maybe but are the ships from movies too?

Incidentally, the capital D logo of Diener is remarkably similar to that of Durham toys based in  New York and North Carolina.
