Godzilla's Gang was a little known toy line from 1978 mannufactured by Japanese toy maker Popy and sold in the USA by Mattel. These figures were sold bagged with header cards and retailed for about a dollar.
Ironically, only the Godzilla figure itself was from the Godzilla franchise. The remainder of the figures were all Ultraman Villians.

Thanks for the reminder, Michael... I'd been told that before somewhere else, but I'd long ago created this post, and couldn't find it to update it with the additional information!
Ken - Well, maybe someday you'll be able to correct that!

I actualy owned a couple of these back in the day. I could never find Godzilla though.
