Monster Zero

It was about a decade ago when I realized that of all the things I could collect, there was nothing more fun than vinyl figures of Japanese monsters.

I came into the game well after the resurgence that had occurred around 1983, but what drew me in, aside from spotting vintage vinyl on eBay a few years before, was the availability of figures around and about 1998. While haunting local Japanese markets, I would constantly see new toys, and was easily sucked into buying them.

King Ghidorah from the Bandai "Toho Kaiju" line is perhaps one of my favorite figures from around that time.
