How come Anguirus was not in the Heisi series?

by **anguirusrules356** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 3:51 pm

I think he should have been.

by **Goji** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 4:15 pm

Well, he almost was, actually. Concept art exists of various designs for a Heisei Anguirus. I'll see if I can dig up the photo.

^ Really?? I'd like to see them if possible.

Me too!

Those images have been posted here in the past; I think it was Daikamonohashi who had them, though I could be wrong...

by **anguirusrules356** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 5:15 pm

whos that?

There ya go fellers.

The one on the far left is not actually an Anguirus design though. This is what somebody who's on "the inside" said on my Facebook about a year ago.

"The caption actually says that the two right sketches are from the proposed GODZILLA VS. GHOST GODZILLA. The sketch on the left is for an evolving creature called "Barubaroi", which has a split-back plate like Angilas (it doesn't identify which film this was designed for)."

The first one looks like a giant dragonfly, but the rest of them look okay. Does anybody else find Final Wars Anguirus to be "Heisei" like?

Hey,thanks!Those are awesome!

As was stated by Goji, the first one is not a design of Anguirus but an unused bug monster called "Barubaroi". Only the middle and right pictures are Anguirus redesigns. As for the question at hand, yes the GFW design does scream Heisei to me.

how do you know so much about things that never existed?

Eww...? (the middle design)

By the way thanks for posting, never knew about these.

by **hammysammy59** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 7:08 am

The middle design is weird, but not terrible. I like how it doesn't look like a guy crawling around on his hands and knees. The design on the right is pretty solid, if super similar to the Showa suit. I really don't understand why his shell is flipped up like that though...

Barubaroi looks a lot more interesting than Megaguirus*.

*Funny side note, before I saw the movie, I thought Megaguirus was some kind of mutated/upgraded version of Anguirus, since both monster's names end with "guirus."

The split back-plates are extremely reminiscent of publicity photos from GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN.

by **GojiFan** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 7:58 am

I have a mixed opinion on the spilt back. It is certainly original, but it looks a bit awkward.

by **Goji** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 8:03 am

Yeah, it was only on the original maquette(s) of Anguirus for that film, but was (thankfully) dropped once the suit was built.Why they considered it again for the 90's is beyond me.

by **anguirusrules356** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 3:26 pm

Wow!I never noticed that Anguirus had that split shell in Raids Again! :xilien:

by **Rody** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:01 pm

He didn't. That was only in the publicity shots, thankfully.

by **anguirusrules356** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:48 pm

Oh.Ive never actually seen the movie. :oops:

But Ive seen the trailer.
