What are your favorite Showa Kaiju?

[ZillaMaster91]

I didn't see a thread about this, so I thought I start one up.

Everyone has their favorite kaiju from the Showa era of Godzilla films besides the Big G himself.

Mine are: King Ghidorah, Gigan, Varan, Titanosaurus, and Anguirus

What are yours?

[Bentley]

Mothra of course. Do Gaira and Sanda count?

[ZillaMaster91]

Any kaiju from the Showa era count.

[Kaiju-King42]

King Ghidorah, Baragon, Rodan, Anguirus, Gorosaurus, Titanosaurus, Mechagodzilla, Gigan, Varan... oh heck, all of them. Except Minya. Most notably the talking, size changing, figment of your imagination Minya. Also not a big fan of the vampire plant.

[Wolf Bird]

Anguirus hands down. But I also like Mechagodzilla and Gigan.

[Legionmaster]

Gezora reigns o'er thee. No question 'bout it.

[PRIMEVAL]

Mechagodzilla is my number one, but I love them all (at least the ones from the Godzilla series, anyway).

[Tohosaurus]

Godzilla
King Ghidorah
Mothra
Mechagodzilla
Titanosaurus
Gigan

[Viva la revolucion!]

Godzilla showa, Mechagodzilla power up, Mothra grownd, King Ghidreah in Destory all Monsters and Gigan when he doesn't look toy.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Mothra
Anguirus
Ghidorah
Hedorah
MechaGodzilla
Gigan

[Rody]

Rodan is, and I'm sure always will be, my favorite kaiju, so I'm automatically biased.
For second place, though --- that's really hard. There are SO MANY good kaiju in this era, it's hard to pick favorites!

Ignoring the big five, the following kaiju are probably the highest ranking:
Kumonga
Titanosaurus
Gigan
Anguirus

[JAGzilla]

With the exception of Minya, I don't think I've ever come across a Showa Toho kaiju I didn't like. That said, the non-Godzilla top spots go to, in no particular order:

Rodan
Anguirus
King Ghidorah
Mothra
Mechagodzilla
King Kong
Kamacuras

[edgaguirus]

In no special order: Anguirus, Titanosaurus, Gigan, King Caesar, and Kumonga.

[Goji]

All of them, but if I was forced at gun point to make a top 5 that excluded Godzilla..

-Hedorah
-King Ghidorah
-Mechagodzilla
-Anguirus (II)
-Titanosaurus

*edit* iPads suck ass.

[menschenjaeger]

I am a big fan of all of them. Although Baragon holds a special place in my heart due to the jump/faceplant he did in FvsB.

[JAGzilla]

Gigan, Megalon, and Hedorah should also be on my list. Can't believe I forgot them...

[space godzilla]

My top ten are...

1.Titanosaurus

2.Gorosaurus

3.Megalon

4.King Caesar

5.Godzilla(1962)

6.Kameobas

7.Varan

8.Baragon

9.Anguirus

10.Mechagodzilla

[ScootaVaran]

I love em all!
yet if I must choose my top 3 would be...
1. Godzlla 54
2. Varan
3. Gigan
