Sakai vs Wakasa Godzilla 2000
Was curious why Toho went with Wakasa's version of of the big G in G2000, but then they decided to use the (in my opinion) superior Sakai concept in all of the promotional material for G2000?
The MST3K Jaguar song.

Do you have pictures of these designs? I am unsure of what exactly you are referring to?

I also think Sakai's design is superior, I love the neck and head the most out of that version, maybe its just me but the Sakai head reminds me of a modern revamp of G 54

Re: Sakai vs Wakasa Godzilla 2000
Sakai's design is excellent, fierce, and is pretty lean sorta like a Showa design...but I prefer Wakasa's suit, it's my all-time favorite Godzilla look.

Oh wow, that is nice. But I can see the head looking silly at times. I'd hate to have another G84 where a perfectly good suit is ruined by a derpy head.

Re: Sakai vs Wakasa Godzilla 2000
The Sakai version is a little too "edgy" and "extreme" for my personal tastes. More objectively, though, I just don't think it would have been a good fit for the more light-weight movie they were making.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Re: Sakai vs Wakasa Godzilla 2000
eh while i prefer that version, it seems a bit to "extreme" unless other monsters looked similar ish

Have you seen the Godzilla evolution model?
Now THAT IS ''edgy'' and ''extreme''.

I honestly don't think that Sakai's design would have worked within the context of the film. I like it though, but I'm glad they went with Wakasa's. It is my favorite Millenium suit.

Gona go with the Sakai version.
Don't get me wrong, I like the film version but the Sakai version just ticks more boxes. Guess the fact that there's no way it could be translated into a actual suit gives it a unique trait.

I don't see how the suit is any less edgy or extreme, personally.eabaker wrote:The Sakai version is a little too "edgy" and "extreme" for my personal tastes.

Re: Sakai vs Wakasa Godzilla 2000
For me its the exact opposite, I believe Sakai's is far less radical than the final design, I still like the official 2000 suit but I still love Sakai's version more, would have really liked to we it as an actual suiteabaker wrote:The Sakai version is a little too "edgy" and "extreme" for my personal tastes.

Film version by far. Although the Sakai version does look better in silhouettes.
