Most in the gaming world, at least those of us of a certain age, will have heard of Gary Gygax. Gygax helped create many of the iconic beasts and monsters that populate our D&D campaigns. But what some may not know is that he was inspired by the cheapo plastic dinosaur-ish figures that you could pick up by the bag at the corner dime store. It's true! And those beasties were themselves loosely modeled after the Japanese Ultraman kaiju monsters. That's quite a lineage.

This listing is for one such creature, which is known as the Rust Monster. This creature here stands around 1 1/4 inches tall and 4 inches long. It's made from a sturdy white plastic with brown paint along the back. It's unmarked and is probably from the 70s or 80s. Good vintage condition with light play wear.
