Bullmark, the Tokyo maker best known for its Toho and Ultraman soft vinyl, also issued motorized plastic model kits, and this walking Godzilla is among the most sought after: a kit that, once assembled, comes to life at the touch of a switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is finished in deep green with a pebbled, reptilian skin, a lighter yellow-green on the tall maple-leaf dorsal plates, a red mouth and pale claws. Seen from the side he leans forward in the classic Showa stance, fists raised, his long tail sweeping behind. A twin-cell battery box joined by a green lead serves as the remote: switch it on, and the arms pump up and down as the feet carry him forward with real force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe previous keeper had him serviced by a repair specialist, who returned the mechanism to working order. A few joints are held with tape as a temporary fix, a detail visible in the photographs and easily addressed by a restorer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bullmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Godzilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e motorized walking plastic model kit, built\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic, with motor and wired battery box remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 21 to 22 cm (8.3 to 8.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAction:\u003c\/strong\u003e walks forward and raises its arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e figure and remote only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny measurement is taken by hand; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 cm (0.4 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt and painted; restored to working order by a repair specialist, walking and arm action confirmed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome parts are held with tape as a temporary fix; age-related wear to the paint and plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eC (visible wear, restored)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/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.
