Been after one of these for a while, the idea of a VAM Godzilla suit would have blown my mind as a kid. The set has a German Combat Joe swapped in for the Japanese figure - and he was missing his shorts, but even so I think this is the best thing I’ve ever bought - absolutely love it

It's a fantastic bit of weirdness - I love it too. My son is a fan of the early Godzilla films and I couldn't resist buying a set for his birthday/Christmas some years back when I came across it. It wasn't cheap, but I think it does have the original figure. It was an impulse purchase and I'm no expert, so I stand to be corrected!

That’s the one Mike, I did have a look for an existing thread but couldn’t find it. Will keep my eyes peeled for a Japanese Joe

They are modelled on the 50s and 60s suits from the films, my son is also a Godzilla fan and called it straight away - must be a thing sons go through
