Godzilla 1989 by Concorde
This is a Godzilla figure I found in Edgewater NJ. It measures about 18"
tall and 30" long. It's only markings are "TOHO TOHO EIGA" and "CONCORDE"
on the bottom of the left foot.
I think it is a recast (possibly a bootleg) of the Paradise Bio-Godzilla
kit. I spoke
with a collector in Seattle who bought the same piece, so it has
appeared on both coasts. I also spoke with a collector who saw this figure in Japan on a recent trip.
I recieved the following information from Sean at Showcase Collectibles: "Concord Paradise was a short lived Godzilla specialty store
in Tokyo that made their own godzilla merchandise (mainly cutesy type
items).
I would suspect this then is their version of the 89 godzilla
(still think they used Paradise's molds)."
It is a large, nicely detailed figure (although the paint job could have been better). The tail is especially long. I would be interested to hear from other collectors who have seen this piece.
