    Godzilla's Gang Micras
    A friend of mine won a Micras from the Godzilla's Gang back in 2007 off ebay.
    The seller must have had a bunch of these because I got one too,
    mine was the only bid and I got him for $7.
    Thru the bag you can see "Popy" on his hindquarters.

    I did a search of "Godzilla's Gang" and found the "worst picture ever" thread (which was great!).
    Some cool stories there and in the "Collecting in the Pre-Internet Era" thread where someone else mentioned these.
    Nothing on ebay at the moment and that seller has nothing up for auction...

    What's cool about this Micras toy is that the sculpt was modified from the original Popy vinyl. There's a better scan of the header card here:

    That's the Popy Micras in the photo. Note the articulated legs. The other members of Godzilla's Gang are only slightly different from the originals.

    Godzilla's Gang are really fun to hunt because sellers usually can't identify the kaiju (aside from Godzilla, of course). I've found many at conventions and on eBay for only about $5-10.

    Great looking stuff Richard.
    I no longer follow comic books as closely as I used to.
    Are you currently working on a book that can be bought at the shops?
