The original "Godzilla" film was released in the mid 1950s and went on to become one of the greatest "giant monster" movies of all time and still remains very popular today with its many re-released versions spawning movie related merchandise of which the most popular are the Godzilla action figures.

The most popular figures among collectors are manufactured by the "Bandai Corporation" and are packaged individually with action figures of various monsters in the movie which collectors like to purchase one of each until they have completed an entire set.

Although these figures are manufactured and designed with many moveable parts and can be played with as toys, many are purchased simply for display or kept in their original packaging as a collector’s item.

The most popular Godzilla action figures today are from the latest Godzilla movie which was released in 2005 titled "Godzilla Final Wars" which includes various monsters from the movie such as "Mechagodzilla", "Angilas", "Rodan" and the "Burning Godzilla". These can be found sold individually through internet websites such as Amazon.com and would be a great idea to purchase the entire set to give as a gift for someone who collects the Godzilla action figures.
