We've all had treasures as kids. The ones that were lost thru time or the faults of others or ourselves. These were among my favorites. These are the ones I'm looking to find again How about the rest of you? Remember these ? What were yours?

I've had this Toho Godzilla since I was eight, still in perfect condition. I have it displayed on my fireplace in the den.

Does that button on Godzilla's right arm make noise, or is it some kind of rocket punch with his right hand?

I shoots his hand. Spring loaded. There is a lever on the back of his neck that makes his "fire tongue" come out. Most don't have the right hand and the lever is broken. Also his tail is in two parts, which is missing on a lot of them.

That's awesome. Back in the 80s, I had a plastic Godzilla that was hollow. you could remove the legs, the tail and the arms. Oh, the fun I had with Godzilla vs Bubble Monster I had a bath time. Someone on eBay has the Godzilla toy that I had as a kid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/80S-VINTAGE-PLASTIC-TOY-GODZILLA-FIG URE-ULTRA-RARE-/260805744206?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash= item3cb93bd64e

I had a lot of Shogun Warriors that are gone now. I think the only reason Godzilla made it thru in such good condition is that he was so impressive to me, even back then. Thanks for the kind words guys. Here's one I had that didn't survive. Wish I still had it--

I had the Incredible Hulk toy shown in the first post and a Shogun Warrior (or
something similar) with lots of little tiny men that could be placed inside of
it.
Does anyone else remember Stretch Monster? I had Stretch Armstrong and
Stretch X-Ray as well, but the green guy was my favorite of the three.

Spring loaded rocket punch!
The tongue extends as well, there's a lever on the back of his head.
I wish I still had mine, but it got played with a lot and subsequently broken. I might still have a fist somewhere though.
I distinctly remember losing this one due to play as well. (as with a lot of water guns, the trigger breaks) I loved this stupid thing!
also..
This one was technically my older bother's. But it was pretty cool at the time.

As many here know, my Holy Grail was a tin toy of the 1956 Lincoln Futura, made by ALP, in roughly 18th scale. Last year, after many attempts, I finally acquired one from eBay.Here it is alongside the Hot Wheels Batmobile, also in 18th scale.
