The Godzilla Island Television Series

The Godzilla Island Television Series Godzilla collectors of the new Millenium have become fond and favor of Bandai’s six inch Godzilla Movie Monster Series figures. Considered affordable with figures, that not only proven to be better representatives over the classic Standad Bandai series, but have produced monsters for the first time exclusively to the six inch line.

It’s been over 10 years since the six inch line was first introduced, but not as the “Movie Monster Series” but as the “Godzilla Island Series”. Many are aware toys are often produced to reflect characters appearing in a film. Bandai’s Godzilla Island Series was based on a television show. The show first aired October 10, 1997 and had a two season run. The show had a very small cast, but featured Godzilla and several Toho kaiju. The trick was Classic Bandai Godzilla figures were used to bring the monsters to life. Episodes were broken down to just over two minute segments and about 15 segments to complete the episode, sort of a mini-mini series. Some of the stories shown can be regarded as “Brilliant” to some being “Dumb and Silly”. ceme online

While fans are used to indepth articles, I have very little to no information on the “behind the scenes” of the Godzilla Island show. I don’t have any names of the actors and the show is in Japanese, which makes it hard to translate what is going on. The stories are easy to follow along, but as new characters are introduce, it becomes harder to get an idea what’s going on. So this is more of a fans review, if anyone can provide more information, please e-mail me at vinylmaddness@aol.com
