Did you see how old that thread is?This new one is probably better than bumping such an old topic.

Besides Godzilla?

5. Kamoebas

I love the Showa series kaijus. So corny and obviously men in suits. That being said, I love Godzilla, Anguirus, Rodan, and King Ghidorah.

Some others are Manda, Baragon, and the Gotengo.
Not a kaiju, but awesome.

I also think Showa Mogera is incredibly cute.
