 hello all. I recently got my hands on a Rodan, and while he is not perfect, he is in pretty good shape. He just has one major problem. You see, Rodan suffers from premature, dragon, bird, monster thing baldness. I need your help. If you own a Rodan and have ever had to make a mold of his horns, or if you have an extra set of horns you would part with. PLESAE let me know. Custom parts kings. if you have made a replacement or copy of this part PLEASE contact me. Look in to Rodans sad, sad eyes and help me make his dream of a full head or horns a reality. Thank you for your help. |

Just get him a nice 1/4 scale baseball cap in the meantime. Or he might look better rockin' a cowboy hat Lol.

I think he could use some frizzy bird hair. It would look awesome for now. Didn't even know he had separate horns, thought it was a full molded part of the head. Any way, he looks great and that is a great pickup. Congrats!

I don't think I have any extra Rodan horns, but was planning to mold the Daimos ball joint soon for possible conversion kits. I can add the horns to the list.

Bourno,
That would be awesome. Please keep me in mind if you do cast horns.
MazinKaiserSKL666 and Mr. Ginrai: I thought about going to goodwill and buying a Barbie, scalping it and putting on Rodan until I find horns. Hey even dragon, bird, monster things like to feel pretty.
I always thought he was kind of unique looking but I never thought I would buy one because people were asking way too much. I picked this guy up for a song so I felt I couldn't go wrong buying him. His wings were in worse condition than the pictures showed and I used one of my wife's hair rubber bands to reattach his head. (this thing has the weirdest screws by the way)He is missing his horns and one of his back talons. I have one of those so I am going to see what I can do as far as casting another one.

I will have to take a look at mine. Thought the horns had 2 buttons for snapping into. Maybe I am just senile.
Yeah, the screws are quite interesting with the cross hatching to really not back out again.

Wow,all this time of looking at mine, I don't think I realized the horns were a seperate piece! I pulled it out of the box, put it together, and put it in the display case. I think it's only been out a couple of times for photos... I have to go play with it now!!

I hardly ever noticed the jumbo Rodan. But then, I hardly check out every single jumbo ever made. I can imagine if that Rodan stood on its wings the wing span would equal the height of a typical jumbo machinder figure. That's a great score of a deal you got there. I like his weird eyes, too... that "choked Bart Simpson" look on his face is epic!   Like the others have stated, I never knew the Rodan jumbo had its horns as a separate part. I don't know why it's made that way. I had always thought the head and horns were all one molded piece. Looking forward to seeing how the Rodan will look restored. zozo-mag |

I'm actually surprised, given how popular Godzilla was, (and is), that they didn't come out with others. Mecha-godzilla would be awesome!! |

38" long? Well then, that does the jumbo Rodan schwEEt justice! The wing span suits it perfectly to go up against the jumbo Godzilla and the 19" Toho version Godzilla as you mentioned. Would like to see this Rodan next to a popy jumbo Jet Scrander and the UFO Spazer, for size comparison. zozo-mag I hardly ever noticed the jumbo Rodan.

Well, Bourno's Spazer will be coming. And sooner or later I'll end up with a Jet Scander, so I'll make the photo happen if Bourno doesn't beat me to it.  |

Thank you all. I do believe that Rodans premature, dragon, bird, monster thing baldness has been solved. As soon as it arrives I will post some pictures.
