AHI L’il Walker Rex Dinosaur AKA Godzilla<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I had a neat pickup this weekend at the Gargoyle<\/a> in downtown Toronto. It’s one of my favourite Rack Toys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AHI<\/a>

AHI Godzilla<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0This is an AHI<\/a> Little Walker Rex Dinosaur” that pretty much everybody calls “Godzilla” because, let’s face it, it’s supposed to be the Big G.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These wind-up sparking monsters were a happy part of my childhood, but I actually did not own an “Official” AHI version.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sparking<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Little Walkers got a lot of “Unofficial releases” (see above) up until the early 1990s. The main difference I’ve learned is an original has toes on its feet, and later editions are just rectangles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AHI<\/a>
\nI’ve included my later version for comparison; they’re both pretty great, but the colours on this AHI version pop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, you never see these guys carded; at least, I never do. Oh, for a carded Creature from the Black Lagoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n
