Weird Godzilla Toy...part 15



When Godzilla meets Bigfoot?

This is apparently known as the Godzilla Marusan
.

Marusan is a Japanese maker of vintage toys, and they appear to create widely abstract versions of their licensed characters.

Such is the case with this weird Godzilla toy.

Why is it colored brown? In the 50+ years of Godzilla he's never been that color. He's always either a dark green or charcoal tone.

Why does it look like his body is made out of fur? This is at least a good assumption based on the strange marks throughout all of his body. I'm serious...place a Bigfoot head on top and it's the final missing piece.

And most importantly, why on Earth is his tail a weird blue/reddish hue? Is it suppose to represent fire and electricity?

I'm just not understanding where Marusan is trying to go with this. I get abstract but I don't get this.

If you think this is weird, just wait until I showcase the next Marusan Godzilla toy soon.
