He stands tall on thick legs with arms held forward and open, a long neck rising to a small, rounded head with a smiling open mouth, white eyes and a row of white teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinyl is cast in a deep blue-teal, and the maker has sprayed and brushed silver over the textured hide so that every ridge of the sculpt catches the light, with darker shading down the back. Three rows of dorsal plates run from neck to tail, a navy band is painted along the spine, and the claws on hands and feet are tipped in white. The tail sweeps out to one side, giving the figure a lively stance from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marusan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Godzilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilm or series:\u003c\/strong\u003e Godzilla (Toho)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft vinyl, sprayed and brushed paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e please ask the Desk for an exact measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e sole stamped with a copyright mark, the SAN mark and JAPAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e none; the figure alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplayed, with signs of age and handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight rubbing to the paint on raised areas and the soles; some marks visible in the photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description; ask the Desk for close photographs of any area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (good, signs of age)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChecked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the Marusan sole stamp is shown in the gallery.
