There have been many reissues of this toy over the years. This first release came out in 1989, followed by 1991, 1995 and 1998, Reisses can be marked by different colored vinyl. The original is in grey, followed by a purple-ish release.

As a special bonus...

I tried to find video of King Saurus III in action, but instead i came across this.

Daicon Film's Return of Ultraman, from 1983, an Ultraman parody film written/directed/starring Hidaeki Anno (you know, that Evangelion guy). It's pure otaku goodness. Long, but worth it.

The toy is a bootleg of #38 in the Ultra Kaiju series of Soft Vinyl figures. While the original is cast in a black vinyl, this one is cast in a light purple vinyl.
