I think it's undeniably ugly and poorly built, but in a way it's charming. Still, I have to vote "bad".

(Thanks for asking the same question in the thread title and in the poll.)

It's ass-ugly. Makes me wish the 68 suit had come a year earlier - I think it would have fit the film's tone and Godzilla's character just as well as the 67 suit did, and wouldn't of been such an eyesore.

It's bad, imo. It looks chubby and dopey. I understand the reasoning behind the design - making Godzilla resemble Minya more - but it should have been applied in reverse.
I agree with Tymon; Soshingeki-Goji would have been much better, had it been designed yet. I also wonder how badly damaged the Daisenso-Goji suit was at this point, since I think it would have served the role well too (and it did appear briefly in the movie).

The face could be better, but it works for the movie. The eyes allow a ceratin amount of expression.

I think it's okay, but it's dangerously close to being ugly.

Sure the head is weird. But the rest of the suit looks great in my opinion. I fucking love the spines! And its arms remind me of my arms when im in a winter coat.

The worse suit in the Showa timeline. But, in a way it did fit in with this film. But I'm very glad that it was only used once.

The body probably looks okay... I really don't know, since all I can ever focus on is how ugly the head is. I have to go with 'bad'.

Nothing wrong with the body. I don't think the face is too ugly either. I just think it's kinda dopey-looking.

It's ugly yes, but I adore it. I like it more the MegaroGoji, that's for damn sure.

It is a unique suit. I didn't like it at first, but after watching the movie a couple of times that suit has grown on me. I didn't care for the 84 suit at first either, but with some suits, I guess that you get used to it after a while, then accept them and then end up liking them.

The spines are really interesting on that suit.

It looks stupid for a godzilla suit.
I calculated the odds of this succeeding vs the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead and did it anyways.

Thanks for that. Could you go into detail?

It's easily the worst Showa suit, but I can't hate it. I works for the movie it's in.
Well, it has an ugly looking face. Also, godzillla soflty growled alot in Son of godzilla.
