Five on Friday

Busy week, late getting this on.  I've been fascinated by Godzilla since I saw his first movie way back in the 50's, he was the perfect "monster".  And in time he grew to be a helpful monster.  Probably my favorite movie was the one with Godzilla and his son.  I liked them all, except for those made by Hollywood, they were terrible.




Through the years I've gathered a few Godzilla's and for my birthday back in September my  family gave me more, so Godzilla will make up my five.


One:    
This is one of my newest Zillas, our daughter gave hime to me for my birthday in September.  He is articulated and so  cool.



Two:
This is one that she gave me a couple of years ago, he's plush and really quite cuddly.










3.  This is a collection of Godzilla postcards that Mac gave me as part of my birthday present.





4.  This Godzilla has been around for awhile, he use to sit on my desk when I was teaching.  He can be spotted around Christmas time carrying a candy cane that Miss Kitty likes to swipe.



















5.  This Godzilla needs a bit of explanation.  The critter on top of him is Gudetama a very unmotivated egg and his lack of motivation effects those around him.  Thus Zilla has become a bit lackadaisical .




















That's my five, hope you have a great weekend.

  8. Interesting Five! My son loved Godzilla as a child. He has Asperger's and would always focus on one thing. For a while it was Godzilla. Everything he wrote for school had Godzilla in it. I think his teacher was glad when he finally moved on!

    Happy Five on Friday

  11. I have never seen Godzilla, would you believe it? I do love a quirky collection though and your Godzillas look fun. Much more fun than collecting porcelain kittens. x

  14. Godzilla! You are so funny. When I was a child there was an animated tv series about Godzilla and Godzooky but I've never seen the films. Hope you are having a good weekend. x

  20. Those movies used to terrify me when I watched them on TV as a kid. I don't know which scared me more - Godzilla or Rodan. (I was a cowardly child - couldn't even make it through the Wizard of Oz for fear of the Wicked Witch of the West and those awful flying monkeys.)

    Funny how Godzilla seems so cute now!
