Kaiju - Japanese Monsters

Shipping by USPS is a flat price to all continental USA locations. This is usually $4-5 per item.

Combined shipping is available if you buy multiple items.

The Kaiju, or Japanese Monsters have been terrorizing humans, heros, aliens and each other for over 50 years. They appeared in movies and TV shows, showed up on menko cards, postcards, and trading cards, plus an assortment of other objects from bento boxes to kites. Godzilla is probably the best known but the list to follow him seems endless and it is hard for me to keep track of all their names . If you spot one I have not identified, feel free to enlighten me.

Vintage Japanese Spinning Top- Dinosaur Monster-A

2 and 3/8 inches (6 cm) in diameter

VG-EX

There are four different versions of this vintage Japanese spinning top. Each depicts a dinosaur - like monster. I'm not sure if these are specific Japanese monsters.

These heavy tops have metal rims and a clear hard plastic top that shows the monster underneath while the underside is a ribbed colored plastic.

I got these tops in their original box that held 12 tops. The box was very boring...just some pink and red graphic design and Japanese lettering but it did include the winding strings, thick rope like cotton.

Condition is very good to excellent.

Vintage Japanese Spinning Top- Ultraman Fighting Green Monster

2 and 3/8 inches (6 cm) in diameter

VG

This vintage Japanese spinning top has a tin top face showing one of the Ultramen (so many I can't keep them straight)with a flying saucer. A wonderful, colorful image.

This is a string wound top. No string is available but other similar tops I have had used a rather thick, soft cotton cord. The underside of the top has a ribbed surface that looks like plastic but sounds like tin when you tap it.

Condition is very good with almost no wear.
