Which one is the "original version" ? It's my third one and I love it too. I would like to add this special pink touch on its nose : if someone knows what kind of painting I can use, thanks to tell me ! ;o)
Unless my monitor needs to be severely calibrated (and it may), the one pictured on the Tomopop site is one of the Sepia Ver. Teke-chan cats. There were three different releases of the Sepia version (# 15, #16, and unknown #). The original Teke-chan (#1) has a white vinyl body with dark brown points. The sepia version Teke-chan has a cream body.
There are numerous versions of the cats, each with its own name and relationship to other cats. From what I can tell, it looks like they stopped numbering after 27.
The black cat above is #8. She was released as part of a mother, brother, sister (pink nose) trio.
Hi Miranda, Yes, it's difficult to find information about these cats. Godzilla-ya's never been forthcoming about production numbers but because they are made by US Toys it's safe to assume that the numbers are low. Thankfully there have been several re-releases but it's mostly the main characters: Teke-chan, Rana, or Suzunosuke.
I've been looking for information on Godzilla ya Canico for the past couple of years but I haven't found anything, so any info would be much appreciated! I bought this one (http://www.flickr.com/photos/...) from Lulubell last year, can anyone tell me what the official name is?
I just bought a version with pink nose, but mine has a touch of pink under the mouth. Is it the same one, or another version ? Or does Canico play with us ? ;o)

The one I have is white vinyl. The ones in the image may be a cream?
The cat I have is Teka-chan (Name on the post card packaged with it, sweet draw string packaging)
I believe mine is a re-release as I got it last year and its bell is smaller than images I have seen of its original release.

I really want the ninja one! I think it was released at the wonderfest I went to but had to limit my spending as it was the start of my trip :P
