I love Mechagodzilla too!

Josh, I love it when you review old toys. Actually, I love it when anybody reviews old toys on here. I have always had a soft spot for Mechagodzilla and I am planning on picking up the 83 version of this toy at G-Fest here in Chicago (July 9th through the 11th at the Rosemont Hotel in Rosemont, IL near O'Hare airport if anyone is interested. I believe it is the only Godzilla related convention in the United States and it is awesome).

Thank you Josh, and thank you to everyone else who reviews vintage toys. That is why I love this site.

What channel used to use

What channel used to use Robert Palmer's (?) "The Heat is On" for their commercial jingle? This would have been like between 85 and 88 I think. It's been in my head all these years. The song was changed so they'd be like "the heat is on channel !"

I remember that! Unfortunately, I don't remember the channel. I think Glenn Frey sang that song, but I could be mistaken.

I absolutely love this

I absolutely love this design, I own one vinyl and 2 chogokin (newer designs) but Id own all MGs if I could. I used to always watch Japanese monster flicks on sundays and loved Godzilla, then the first time I saw Mechagodzilla I was like "what? a robot version of the already great Godzilla!" The older style Mechagodzilla is definetely my favorite.

Although its not a complicated toy, I am glad he has his own review

This one really speaks to my childhood too. I own Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla on VHS and good Lord, I watched it again and again. Great to see this up here.

I love MechaGodzilla! I think this vinyl is killer and I am not a vinyl collector. I have the chogokin version. Not to high-jack the thread but, I really wish they would do a gokin version of MechaGodzilla's brethren MechaKong. MechaKong it the sh*t!

I think they can't do the Mechanikong because he's a version of King Kong,who Toho does not own and cannot give the rights to. That's what I remember hearing,at least.
