Rodan 1993 - (G-10)
This Bandai Fire Rodan is the tenth of the multi-figure Godzilla Island /Toho Kaiju Series. It looks very different from the standard issue from 1993, in that the Toho Kaiju Fire Rodan sports a lighter shade of beak, brighter breast, painted nails, and a much brighter, red body. Like all of the figures in the series, Fire Rodan is smaller in scale than older versions, being approximately 6 inches in height, as opposed to the 8 inches of earlier incarnations. The figure is numbered in sequence with the entire Godzilla Island set, making him number 10 in the series.All of the first 12 figures in the series have a similarly designed tag, showing characters from the Godzilla Island TV show on one side and an image of the daikaiju/mecha upon which the toy is based upon the other. The tag interior has text in Japanese and an image of the General(?) who is pictured on the back of the tag. Newer, Toho Kaiju Series tags have been seen for reissues of many of the first 12 figures as well. However, with the change in names of the series from Godzilla Island to Toho Kaiju in late 1998 with G-13, figures from the original 12 have started showing up with redesigned, Toho Kaiju Series tags similar to G-13 and beyond. The inside of the new tag is different as well. Fire Rodan received a third release in 2002 as a part of the Movie Monsters series, primarily G Island/TK2 reissues, but with a much more detailed, better paintjob and different, MM tag.
