Godzilla also known as Gjura is one of Japans greatest export to the world. It can be put in the same category next to the likes of Hello Kitty and Asahi Beer. Godzila was originally a scary monster and was actually a metaphor for a nuclear weapon. Godzilla first appeared in 1954 but it was discovered that children loved Godzilla and so Godzilla toys were born. 50 years of Godzilla toys now exist and they have become very collectable.
If you or your child love this powerful fire breathing beast then you will probably want to collect as many Godzilla toys that you can get your hands on.
Check out our quick guide that will help you choose what Godzilla toy is right for you:
-
You need to first understand a little bit about the history of Godzilla. Godzilla toys from different era’s differ in design and more importantly price. You need to first know what style of toy that you prefer.
-
We would recommend choosing a specific era to collect from, rather than just blindly choosing to collect them all. Choosing an era helps you find information quicker and also means that yoru knowledge will increase for that specific type of Godzilla toy. A good option is to choose a decade in which to collect such as the 1970′s.
-
One of the best places to find Godzilla toys is at your local comic shop. It will be worth speaking to the shop assistant to see if they can source Japanese imports or even if they sell second hand Godzilla toys.
-
The internet has made collecting any toy a lot easier so make sure that you use it. There are a number of specialist godzilla toy sites out there so its worth searching for them. My personal favourite is using Ebay.com to find Godzilla toys and we have even managed to create a Godzilla toy searching widget below.

Science Fiction Conferences are great ways to source very rare Godzilla toys and also a great place to meet like-minded collectors. They are also great fun as you get the chance to dress up as your favourite Godzilla monster!
