Ooh, I didn't realize until writing the date that this is a friday the 13th. That's creepy. Anyway, I just wanted to blog about a couple of pictures I've come across. These are pictures of a Godzilla playset I had as a kid. It was possibly my favorite toy ever, and I can't really explain why. What I loved the most was Godzilla himself... who was nothing more than a hunk of green plastic. There were no movable parts, no special features, nothing. But I really loved it. My parents bought it from Family Dollar for me and I'm sure they paid no more than 9 or 10 bucks. Today, this playset is so rare that it goes for hundreds of dollars. I lost all the parts to mine over the years, and, most tragically, I lost Godzilla himself when I was playing around in a college library as a kid. I still visit this library often, and you bet I still keep an eye out for my green plastic Godzilla.
