I believe this item is from that time period, but I have no way to prove it. There is some paint wear overall, but it appears to be undamaged. However, there may be overlooked flaws, so please understand. In my subjective opinion, the worn areas are either light blue or gray, but it gives the impression of spewing radiation, which I really like. This is a child's toy from about 55 years ago, so I'm selling it as a junk item. It's approximately 32cm tall, and the soles of the feet are stamped with "Bullmark" and "Toho." I'm not sure if the color is rare, but the paint wear on the face, chest, and dorsal fins is usually brown, but this Godzilla is different. The molded color of the hands, feet, tail, and the middle dorsal fin is different from the color of the face, body, and upper and lower dorsal fins. Please check the images carefully. The "Monster/Hero Treasure Appraisal Catalog" on page 7 states that light blue is quite rare, but I can't tell if it's light blue or gray, and the molded color of the hands, feet, and tail is different, so I'm not sure at all. It's been 55 years, so I imagine they ran out of materials and used what was left. In the old days, even in factories, they might have been smoking and drinking a little, without helmets – just my imagination, please forgive me. I don't think the joints are loose; rather, they're quite stiff. The looseness or stiffness of the joints varies from person to person, so please understand. This is an old item from about 55 years ago, so I haven't disassembled it for inspection. Please consider it a junk item. On page 16, I've included a Marusan standard-size Godzilla and Minilla for size comparison. This Marusan Godzilla and Minilla are NOT included in this sale, so please be sure not to make a mistake. Pages 17, 18, and 19 show similar giant Godzillas in a magazine for reference. Please check the images. Also, there may be overlooked scratches, stains, color fading, dents, distortions, scratches, and repaints, so please judge carefully from the images and purchase only if you are satisfied. Since this is a junk item, a child's toy from about 55 years ago, I cannot accept any returns or address any issues. The images shown are all that is included. To prevent swapping, I cannot accept returns after purchase, so please understand.
