Cool that's not a real suit is it, where you find this pic. That look suit should be used if Toho every did a second showa series.


I took some pictures of a few figures that I own, and then I composited them and evened-out the textures in GIMP photo editor.

This isn't terribly specific but I really love the look of these two drawings. One is by Arthur Adams and the other by Derek Thompson.

Basically I would want an overall simple, Showa feel but with updated sensibilities. Out of the newer suits I thought Return of Godzilla and GMK did that very well.

My ideal Godzilla?

Torso and fins: 1954.
Head: 1973. Eyes: 1964.
Legs: 1968
Arms: GINO
Tail: 1984.

But, by all means the Legendary Pictures Godzilla should be original.
Every film should have at least one animal attack.

My ultimate Godzilla combination.......


I really can't say. A design appropriate for one personality may not be appropriate for another. There isn't really a definitive Godzilla design.

However, perhaps I appreciate his character all the more for this reason. The great thing about Godzilla is that his personality and appearance can be so malleable.
I think Godzilla's various personalities already have suits to fit; however, since I often have my own nitpicks about them:

VILLAIN
Sokogecki-Goji (for more serious tone; straighten the neck, add ears, downsize the torso, legs and feet, and add pupils)
King-Goji (for lighter tone --- don't change anything, actually)

ANTI-HERO
Mosu-Goji (add Shodai-Goji's ears and feet)
King-Goji (see above)

"SYMPATHETIC, ANIMALISTIC ANTI-HERO"

Kiryu-Goji (enlarge the head)

HERO
Mosu-Goji (see above)
Final-Goji (add more mass, "Heisei-Goji" plates)
