In 1998, TriStar Pictures produced a remake set in New York City. The film's name was simply Godzilla; but, the character of Godzilla had been almost completely redesigned and only had many minute characteristics in common with the original Godzilla. The remake was met with mostly negative reception by long-time Godzilla fans and film critics. The American remake monster was later identified by Toho as Zilla in Godzilla: Final Wars. Japanese Godzilla Toys were then made huge by the American Market due to the Americanized version of Godzilla, however i believe the Japanese Godzilla Toys will stand the test of time!
